I have the msi gaming 7 motherboard and on the side is a display that says the temperature, I was wondering how hot is too hot? I get around 32 at idle and 46 when playing games.

Just as is stated in the title, is this normal for 4600 HD Graphics? It doesn't let me change my refresh rate... it just says "use hardware default setting" in teh drop down box and nothing else. How do I get rid of this? It's super annoying. I can't even watch anime or anything, its unbearable...

I've been told from some friends that there are ways to install windows on your new computer build without buying a new copy of windows, but I'm not sure at all how to do that. I plan on building a new computer really soon, and I want to avoid dishing out $70-$100 on an OS when there are other...

Good evening... After about a year the mother board starts to beep, I have noticed a decrease of performance (from low response to pc freeze) first I though it was for overheating but I have the feeling that is something else (I don't use it everyday, it's a computer that I bought to my brother...

Running Windows 8.1 and only recently has this started happening, really annoying and slowing everything down. Ran a full virus scan and turned up nothing.

I was thinking of getting a gtx 760 or 770 but I don't know what I should pick. I am looking to play most games at ultra settings at 1080p at comfortable framerates, but if it means turning down MSAA and Filtering I'm not bothered. Also I don't care how much VRAM it has. Also I was wondering...

The title says it all. I'm in the market for a monitor and will mostly be playing MMOs, so I think the 2gb should be fine since WOW doesn't push the graphics too hard. So, in that case, because my 770 will be gsync capable monitor, should I wait for one of those (i've heard they will be more...
