I have an issue where if I move the power target slider, and only the power target slider on MSI afterburner, my pc will reboot while running Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark, and Fire Strike Extreme gpu test 1. My initial thought was the power supply isn't holding up. But I can run Cinebench...

Kinda a dumb question I likely know the answer to but gonna ask anyways. Looking to reinstall Windows 10 clean. I have the installation tool on a usb drive I made a couple years ago which I think has one of the first versions of windows 10 using that tool or slightly after. As the thread title...

I read most fan headers on motherboards are around the 1A ballpark for power. I have some Gentle Typhoon AP-15s from years back rated at 0.083 A each. How many of these can I safely put on a single motherboard fan header? Do I have to account for any kind of startup power surge? Realistically I...

Probably a long shot but I'm looking for some HD casters for my caselabs th10. Seeing as how caselabs went under, does anyone know where i can find a place that might have stock of this kit, or maybe who caselabs supplier was for casters?

I'm not sure why but on both my s9 plus phone running chrome, and my nvidia shield tablet k1 running chrome, I cannot view the site in desk top mode. Additionally I cannot change settings via the sites drop down settings menu. It allows me to toggle mobile/desktop and collapsed/expanded, but...

I'm growing more and more interested in the idea of delidding a processor and getting the experience of how to do it. I currently have a 3570k and would like to practice on this CPU rather than a new one before upgrading, probably to an 8700k if the new 9th gen isn't coming any time soon ( or...

Yeah its time for another dreaded help me upgrade thread. Thing is I'm not really upgrading, I'm contingency planning. Gonna detail out the issues, for a TLDR check the end of the post. I'm currently running the system in my sig. Had it since 2013 I believe. Originally it had sli 680s, but...

This is driving me mad. I've tried searching for this issue and while I've found some "fixes" nothing seems to be working beyond the current session. I have a razer naga chroma mouse that works perfectly fine. Since the latest major fall creators update or whatever Microsoft just pushed, my...

Not sure if there was a better place to post this but I've been trying to find an alternative for the Nvidia Shield K1 tablet. Thanks to the Nintendo switch, the Shield K1 is now EOL. Does anyone know of a reasonable replacement for it? I know we'll never get the same price/performance ratio but...

I have a Spring Samsung Galaxy S4 that I want to root so i can move some files over to my SD card to save space on the phones internal memory. Towelroot didn't work on this phone. Can anyone point me to a reliable working guide to do this? A lot of the stuff out there looks shady, and this is my...

Hey guys, getting to be time to replace my cable modem. Its been over 10 years now I think and I'm currently getting hounded by Comcast to replace my modem. I'd like to own my own modem rather than leasing/renting one from them but have been holding out until either the modem died, or the itch...

I have 2 GTX680s (2GB) purchased at/near launch day a few years back. One was a reference 680, the other was a SC clocked model. Both are EVGA brand, and both are bios modded to SC levels, with identical clocks for parity in SLI mode. They weren't the best over clockers when paired (one held the...

OK here is the short version. I built my brother a gaming pc not too long ago. He opted to go with Win 8.1 and now he is having an issue with some kind of malware/virus. It is a v9 virus/malware (best way to describe it). It basically is redirecting his internet browsers to this v9.com website...

So it seems like my faithful old Logitech Z5500 sound system is on its way out. The control module has some flickering in the LCD panel, and the sound is cutting out more and more lately, and for longer periods of time. I've had these for 8+ years now I think? Now as I am considering a...

As the title says. Are there any monitors out there larger than 27 inch for 2560x1440? I'm currently using a 40 inch 1080p Samsung LCD television and I am weighing my options for resolution upgrade. Thing is I really don't want to lose much screen size or go multi-monitor if I can avoid it...

Need some help locating an item I need. Google has left me defeated. I need a Down Angle A to Up Micro B 5 USB cable about 6-8 inches in length. Anyone have a solution for me? Adapters/converters are out of the question. Everything I have seen is either up up or down down. No up to down, which...

After many many years I decided its finally time to get rid of my old samsung flip phone from around 2004. Yeah I'm close to 10 years removed from the game. Its time to upgrade and wondering where to begin my search. I am a Sprint customer if that at all limits my selection. I will not buy an...

Does anyone know if an Asus Xonar DX will fit in the top 1x pcie slot on an Asus P8Z77-V PRO mother board without hitting the ram slots? The Xonar DX is a fairly long card and I don't want to have issues if I grab one.

I've been reading around this seem to be a fairly common issue. I've got an older pc with a Core 2 duo e6600 on an nforce 2 680i SLI board. That system was running Vista for years without any issues other than Vista is bloatware. I decided to upgrade that system to Windows 8 and now I'm...

So I've got the urge to upgrade again. I just got a GTX 680 to replace my tri sli gtx 280s, and a Crucial M4 256gb SSD to replace my Velociraptor RAID 0 setup. I'm feeling the itch for another upgrade and I'm debating between picking up a second gtx680 somehow, or upgrading my MOBO and CPU...

Just a quick simple question I'm hoping to get answered. Is there a preferred placement for a flow indicator in a loop? Any place it should be avoided?

I currently have a Swifttech MCP655 on my CPU/NB/SB/Mosfet loop that is on its way to death. It fails to start on a regular basis. When it does run, it seems to have very little pressure. Is there a better or comparable pump out there for the same or less money? Wallet is a bit tight after a...

From Timothy Lottes Blog:

Is there any way to speed up LAN/Ethernet start up time when resuming from sleep mode? I have an older machine with a nforce 6 board and a C2D e6600 and I use S3 sleep I think. The system boots very quickly back from the sleep with no issues, but it seems like the ethernet/LAN startup is...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here it is anyways: Is there any way to reduce the blur factor associated with 2x2 SSAA. Notice I'm not talking about SGSSAA. I've been messing with a game called Dragon Nest and can not find a decent AA option. No AA is a jagged...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here it goes. I'm working on pages existing on a wiki at wikia.com for a game I'm playing and I am trying to do some clean up. I've asked this on the wiki help but got no response. Basically I have hundreds of items with multiple categories...

Someone over on the guru3d forums posted this, thought I would share. Seems it is a little collection of files to force enable FXAA in any D3D title.Looks like it works similar to the enbseries by placing a d3d9.dll in the game executable folder, but instead of forcing terrible effects it just...

Another good game deal. When I bought it, it was 10 bucks during the Steam winter sale. This is a much better deal for a great game. Batman Arkham Asylum $5.99 http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-BAAGOTY/batman-arkham-asylum-game-of-the-year-edition Offer Expires in 14 hours.

Not quite as low as some of the Steam deals there have been but definitely worth every penny. Borderlands Game of the Year Edition $11.95 The game and all 4 DLC packs is easily over 100 hours of gameplay if you do both playthroughs, and even more if you play online. Bundle Contains...

Hello all. I've decided to share my Downsampling guide with you all. I originally wrote this for the guru3d.com forums, and given the interest by some there I figured I would share in other places for those who might be interested. If so read on! FOR NVIDIA USERS ONLY! I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO...

Does anyone have any more information on this promotion? http://www.gamersgate.com/freegames I can't seem to find any extra details, like more specifically how this works? They say it is an advertisement to watch when you load the game, but I have some feeling this would be like TV and your...

I just got a new router, and its been working fine, except for some reason at night it seems to slow to a crawl for no apparent reason. I am pretty sure it isn't my ISP because this issue has never cropped up with the old router, and rebooting the new one seems to help. However checking my...
