I'm new to PC building and this may seem like a stupid question but it's me, so every question I have is somehow stupid. The motherboard I am looking to buy does not have a definitive answer on how many 3 pin and 4 pin fan connectors it has. All the website says is: 2 x system fan headers 1 x...

Hello! Since I do not wish to get a prebuilt PC, I decided to let the community help me organize the parts I need for a PC I will attempt to build. I need the computer to be able to handle high end games, specifically ARMA/DayZ/Battlefield 1\4\Hardline/ etc My budget is $800-900 but I'd...

The max temp it reaches while playing games is about 60ºC. Is this normal for this cpu? Is it at least acceptable? I wouldn't like to Prime95 it since I'm almost sure it will BSOD on me. I usually play my games for an hour at a time at most, normally not even that.

Dear forum fellows, I have a question which you probably came across before but since I googled the very specific question I did not find many satisfactory answers. So here it goes: There are 2 PCs at home, 1 for my fiancee and 1 for me. We are both gamers and play almost every game from FPS...

Just as the title states. Anyone know what a good/compatible water block might be for the MSI H110 Gaming Micro ATX board. I didn't see a cpu cooling category so I put it here. I am just beginning my research into liquid cooling and could use some help. Thanks!

Hello guys, I recently switched phones and took my 32 GB sandisk micro SD card to put in my new phone, however it gave me an error saying it was damaged. Figuring I forgot to unmount it before I removed it I just allowed my new phone to format it and see if that works. It worked and allowed me...

Hey all I installed my cpu about a week ago but I had to buy a new cooler because the one I bought wasn't compatible with the case. Do I need to clean off the cpu before installing the cooler? If so would 70% rubbing alcohol work ? What do I use to clean ? Qtip? Coffee filter?

So, ever since i've updated to Windows 10, my microphone on HyperX Cloud 1 headset has stopped working. I tried everything: switching front- and back-panel jacks, updating drivers, ticking and unticking every option in mic settings and Realtek HD options - nothing helps. Weird thing is that a...

Hi, I'm experiencing weird stuttering when I play games with VSync on. In FIFA 16 for example I achieve 90+ FPS when it's off and it never drops below. With VSync however the frame rate fluctuates heavily betweeb 45 and 60 FPS. It's not that severe in other games but still there and going from...
