I'm just curious on what phone would have better performance in the long run between the Galaxy vs LG. I have been a big fan of Samsung phones for a while now, but the Galaxy S5 i have now is only 5 months old and it already has a scratched screen and back camera so i'm thinking of changing...

I just built a new computer and am trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 but it does not recognize the USB flash drive while in bios it does. I have a MSI motherboard with Click Bios 5.

I have 2 internet connections on same network, each with their own gateway 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.5. I can manually enter the gateway on most devices thereby using that specific internet connection. However, some devices do not allow me to enter the gateway and therefore that device defaults to...

So I have an older 750w Corsair PWU(not modular), I don't recall the exact model number either. It's about 4-5 years old and I've been thinking about buying a new PSU. I haven't had any issues with this PSU, but it's getting up there in age and also want to switch to a modular PSU. How often...

So i just bought a Corsair H80i GT liquid cooler. i was really anticipating the low temps that usually come with water cooling. Unfortunately, i was surprised to see my A10-7870k APU Idling at 40 C in the BIOS and around 60 C in normal operations. this isnt even under load! Its actually...

Already have one MSI r9 280x, Thinking of buying another one as I've come across another one cheap. would it be worth me buying the other Msi r9 280x and crossfiring it?

I know it will be unbalanced, but will an AMD A6-3650 2.6Ghz work with a Saphire Radeon Nitro R9 380x card?

Hello everyone, I am helping my wife build a desktop so she can work from home. She does not game at all. All she needs is a machine that she can program Java on. We do want dual 4k monitors setup because they really boost productivity. My question is can an i7 6700k support dual 4k 60fps...

My AMD 8320 gets too hot to even play dota 2. The temps never rise above 72c but the stock heat sink sounds like it is going to literally explode. My case is a corsair carbide 100r and the max heat sink size is 150mm. I was originally set on buying the Noctua NH-D14, but found it it is too big...

I have a gaming PS4(that i have hooked up to my gaming moniter), a gaming desktop, I want to use them all with my speakers, they have great bass, and i don't like hooking and unhooking cords everytime i want to use one. What would be the best route? Thank you for your time.

I'm SICK of trying to oc with Win10, it's so frickin touchy, and once you think you've got it running you're lucky to survive a reboot without having to start from scratch. So I can swap my 2500k @ pretty much a wash $$ for a Xeon e3-1270 v1, essentially a i7-2600 with ecc mem option. I'm...

I have a Toshiba Satellite A 135 - S4467 laptop which I have had for several years. The screen has become very dark, similar to looking at a negative film. The images on screen are just barely visible. I don't want to return this Toshiba for repair as I don't want to have my data erased. Any...

I'm debating if I should wait for Skylake or just get a 4690k now. Do you think I can use this cpu for 3-5 years before it becomes a bottleneck based on previous trends?

Well, after reading about the possibility of a conflict, and after actually finding a post on another site of someone having an issue with buying 2x 32GB DDR4 kits (same exact kits I was planning on, lol) I've decided to heed the warnings of others and suck it up and buy a 64GB kit. I found 2...
