Hey guys and gals. I recently did a new build using a few of my original components and was wondering if my HDD sounds healthy or not. The fans on the old build were very loud compared to my current ones so it could just be that the fans originally masked the noise of the HDD but I could be...

Ok, I've been trying to find out the solution to my issue for this whole day and I am exhausted will no results. It's quite convoluted so bear with me. So I was first playing a game and I started to hear this sort of scratchy/kinda grindy sound. I could only hear this when I took off my headset...

Hello, so it's been few months and my PSU is making grinding/electric/crackling noise like if electricity would make some noise. If it's possible I can add sound where you can maybe try to listen to it. And the fun part is that when I turn in power options high performance the sound is making...

Hi everyone! I'm trying to add a subwoofer to my current 2.0 setup. I'm thinking on buying Polk PSW10, as per the reviews I've checked it's a pretty decent quality per dollar spent device and I can't blow my house so that should be enough. I'm a Tech House and Techno DJ and usually practice...

I have 5 fans I want to mount but only 2 fan connections (not including cpu) on my motherboard, would I be able to use two fan splitters on one connection by plugging a splitter into a splitter, or would this not work and should I just stick to the 4 fans?
