Can I use leftover thermal compound from my CPU on the GPU or is there specific paste I need to get? Thanks for the recommendation

I've been using a Powercolor 7870 MYST I bought from a friend for about a year now without any issues. It always ran a little loud and a little hot, but seeing as these cards are known for that I dealt with it. About a week ago my card started behaving erratically and I can't really pinpoint the...

You will get a much better speaker system by piecing it together than getting a home theater in a box option. Definitely go used on ebay or craigslist. There are a lot of deals to be had

I've been running a Korean QNIX 2710 monitor for the past few months. I used it for roughly 6 months overclocked to 110hz using Custom Resolution Utility and the Pixel Clock patch. For some reason, it will no longer accept an overclocked signal. I first noticed this when I was running GTA V and...

Defragged the hard drive twice. Still getting the hang ups....

I did just replace the hard drive. Ill look into it thanks.

Recently formatted hard drive and installed Windows 7 with the driver CD HP provided with my laptop. Anytime I play a game, it runs smoothly for about 3 seconds and then stutters for 1-2. My FPS is fine for all of these games, but the stuttering is constant. I have tried reinstalling the drivers...

Hello, I recently reformatted my computer and Installed all the drivers off the disc they gave me. I have updated my graphics driver however. Whenever I play games (Trine 2, Darkness 2 for now) the background music cuts out when I play. The fps is smooth and the game sounds (guns, footsteps...

You could have a thumbstick that pushes into the system when not in use.
