    Looking for headphones with great soundstage and good bass response

    I am looking for headphones which have great soundstage for positional audio in FPS games. I would like to be able to locate opponents footsteps, distance of gunfire, etc. But I am a bit of a bass head so I would still like to have some decent bass. It will be nice for explosion to have weight...

    EVGA FTW3 Hybrid with loud hum coming from radiator

    I just installed a brand new FTW3 Hybrid yesterday night. I just received it from EVGA as an RMA replacement. Unfortunately, I am having the same issue as the last one. I am hearing a loud hum coming from the barbs where the tubes meet the radiator. Nothing I have done has alleviated the...

    1080 ti bottleneck

    I currently have a 1080ti FTW3 and just snagged a FTW3 hybrid for SLI. I realize that SLI is dying a slow death but this is [H] so go hard or go home :D. My question is will my current CPU and mobo combo bottleneck my GPUs? I read that there is a small performance loss using PCie 3.0 8x. My...

    H100i pump noise

    I am very particular about having a silent PC. My current setup has a Noctua NH-D14 running just the larger 140mm stock fan. I keep it at 600rpm on idle making it virtually silent. Similarly, all my case fans are either off or running at very low rpm on idle. I also have a couple of GTX 780...

    Cannot Post: Bad PSU?

    I just received my Seasonic Platinum 1000W PSU from RMA. Unfortunately, I cannot get my PC to post. There is no bios splash screen. The first time I turn on the PC, it runs for 10-15 seconds, I get the single beep and it shuts down and restarts. Then every time after that, it runs for a few...

    Windows clock loses time!

    I have noticed that the clock in windows is running slow. This is especially noticeable when I wake my PC from standby or cold boot. Could it be that a replacement of the CMOS battery is in order? I run windows 7 - x64. Thanks!

    Motion blur/Ghosting: U3011 vs zr30w?

    I got the U3011 a month ago and have issues with the motion blurring which I believe is due to the pixel response time. I notice blurring during fast paced action in movies on DVD and when panning or looking around in FPS. In fact any medium paced movement of my mouse in FPS games causes...
