Hey, I have strong i5 with gtx1060 and now I need to buy a monitor. I know there's a size difference but my question is which monitor will give me a better view? My computer is for gaming but not just gaming. As much as i know the Asus will run 75hz but I'm not sure. And does 75hz matters...

Well I purchased the Hyper 212 Evo yesterday and within an hour it was buzzing (likely faulty bearing). I've narrowed it down to being the cooler fan and I'd like to just fully replace it. Never had a mounted fan like this before so am just curious is the Vortex viable to mount in the same...

My tablet keyboard was working for one day and then suddenly stopped working the next. Its one that can attach and detach from the tablet. I checked and made sure it was not any language option that was wrong, and also tried pressing the function key and the caps lock key together, but it...

I've already browsed extensively for a solution to this problem, and it continues to irk me. The HDMI picture is live, but the audio function of the HDMI connection is not showing up in my Sound Playback Devices. I already checked to make sure I'm showing disabled and disconnected devices. I...

Is My PSU Compatible with my GPU?

Could I buy this computer: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220693&ignorebbr=1 And add a new PSU and GPU? Will an i3-4150 be sufficient for the next few years? How badly will an i3-4150 bottleneck a GTX 970?

Here's the deal. My best friends, who game quite a bit when they're not working, have had me build every computer for them for years, are wanting to upgrade with his Christmas bonus from their 6-core systems to 8-core systems. They want to gift their 6-core systems to their children. I went...

Has anyone actually laid hands on one and dropped it in a Z170 board? I've heard 2 or 3 people say that you can still move the bclk on the non k processors potentially allowing some oc headroom on them. I don't want to see anything quoted from tech specs or the like please only answer if you...

So let's just say in my city, it's quite difficult to order online. Not to mention, in my country (Philippines), most online stores often don't have good cards stocked anyways. A little over a month ago, my Radeon HD 7870 died. I've since been using an old HD 5570 for gaming. It does the job...

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BJFCQ7 If I can or should, why and what? ( like 4.0 or 3.7 etc) Will my computer get louder with my cup cooler? Will my cpu not over heat or be loud?

the reason is all three of my hard drives were damaged in less than two months each connected at a time for a week or two one of them is completely broken it is giving that clicking noise no important data on it so I won't even bother fixing it the other two i believe something is wrong with the...

My friend just bought a AOC G2460PQU monitor, which supposedly supports 144Hz. When we installed the monitor, we noticed that there was no option for refresh rate higher than 60. His graphic card (GTX 650) has a DVI-D Dual Link port in it and his monitor has one too. So, today, we went to buy a...
