I’m building my first PC and there’s an issue with the motherboard and IO shield. It seems like no one else has had this problem that I’ve seen on forums... my motherboard won’t reach the IO shield. It’s over where the standoffs are, and there’s no way I could adjust the standoffs to be...

I'm actually looking around for a new monitor, and after doing some research, I have a couple of questions.
1) is there a "best" size for portrait mode? For instance, a point where it just becomes too long and strains your neck or other disadvantages?
2) is there a big difference between 16:9...

Ok so I bought RX 580 and Ryzen 2600X. I never updated the graphics driver since it was already installed when I built the pc. But I decided to update the graphics driver for more fps. And I did it and I got in trouble, I lost a lot of performance so I had to reset the pc and download a graphics...

They installed it with a prolink prs1841 modem.
Thing is it does not have a sc-cs connection - does that necessarily not make it fiber?

Hey guys, I just built a new pc and I've been trying to get a second monitor to work with it, but everything I've tried hasn't worked. My board doesn't have integrated graphics, so plugging it straight in didn't work. I got a DP to VGA adapter and connected it to my GPU and that still didn't...
Hello, people, i have a question about pc building, because i'm a newbie here. I have a GTX 1060 which requires only 6 pin connector to work. I am planning to upgrade to gtx 1070, because it's a great deal for me, but 1070 needs a 6 pin AND an 8 pin connector. But my power supply can handle only...
Hello guys,
I just sold my 1080 GTX because I play CS:GO 99,99% of time and I really don't need that high performance card. I was wondering what would be a good option for CS:GO. I was thinking about 1050, but some people didn't recommend it at all... what are your suggestions? I play 1080p @...

So basically, in July, I tried to clean my screen with a glass cleaner like an idiot, and it completely started screwing up, making patterns and only working as it used to if I hit it. I'm most likely screwed due to replacement screens and their parts costing $175-$400. Here's a video showing...

I had weird power losses to my system in the last few days(today alone twice) so I started looking for indicators as to what could be causing it. Looking at hwinfo shows something weird, but I'm not sure it means anything. I'd appreciate if anyone with insight gave their 2 cents as to what it...
The power supply for my OEM RAM provides 1.5v, whereas the new RAM that I bought only needs 1.35v. Would the new RAM get too warm when supplied with 1.5v?

Hello I have recently purchased a Netgear modem and Netgear Nighthawk router but I keep coming across the problem that my network will assign the devices a 10.11.x.x IP on the network and then those respective devices do not work online since it's not a 192.168.x.x address.

I have seen stuff about how the H7 won't fit with AM4 Sockets. On the actual H7 Description on Pc PartPicker, it says it can be used on an AM4 Socket, but then at the bottom of the page below the final price, it says I might need an adapter for the H7.
