    Thoughts on EVGA 1080 Ti FE? Worth the step up from 1080 FTW Gaming ACX3?

    Hey guys, So apparently I made a relatively big mistake when it came to reading the fine print. I was really hoping that I could step up from my EVGA 1080 FTW Gaming ACX 3.0... I had seen that they are releasing their 1080 Ti variant and that's what I wanted. I had to go through and purchase...

    Motherboard Audio Doesn't Split Center / Subwoofer channel

    Hello! I just built a new computer using the MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard, which uses Realtek HD audio. My speaker setup is using the Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 Surround Sound, however I'm not utilizing the rear speakers. I connected the Central / Subwoofer connector to where it is...

    Contemplating a new gaming build, what would you do?

    Just as the title says. I'm able to build a new machine. My budget is somewhere between $1200-$1500, but I have some wiggle room if it is worth it. My current build is approximately 5-6 years old, and consists of the following: Intel i5-2500k OC @ 4GHz 16gb DDR3 1866mem MSI GeForce GTX 970 4G...

    Verizon FiOS MI424WR Router - Wireless Devices Lose Connectivity?

    I've been having an ongoing problem with my Verizon FiOS wireless router. It seems when I first connect a device wirelessly to the network, everything will work fine. However, after a brief period of inactivity, the devices will appear connected however they will be unable to communicate with...

    Possible to log USB disconnects / reconnects on Win 7?

    Hey guys, So after troubleshooting the previous audio issues I've had with my headset, they were resolved by moving the USB headset from the USB3 port on front to a USB2 port on back. I believe they were using the same bus as the onboard audio, but not 100%... I believe I notice the device...

    Realtek HD Manager + 5.1 Surround (sorta) = No Center

    Issue seems to be fixed now. I'm not sure what the actual fix was to be honest. When troubleshooting my microphone issue, I wound up moving that to a USB 2.0 port instead. I think the USB3 bus was running the same location as my audio, and thus causing those problems. At the same time I did...

    Realtek HD Manager + 5.1 Surround (sorta) = No Center

    Hey guys, Another problem I noticed while messing around with my computer: I have a Creative Inspire 5.1 surround sound system. Unfortunately due to circumstances, I only have left + right + center + subwoofer installed (no rear speakers). Before performing my system build, the center...

    New Build + Teamspeak 2 + Logitech USB = Tin-Can Problems

    I thought that reinstalling the driver fixed things, but it didn't. When I logged into teamspeak the first time everything worked but that's because Windows set my headset to default device. When I play the game, I typically have game audio going through the speakers and voice chat going through...

    New Build + Teamspeak 2 + Logitech USB = Tin-Can Problems

    1) As stated, this is the TS my clan uses. I can't switch to Ventrilo for them, and can't control what codec they use. 2) From reading it looks like the Logitech USB Audio uses the default Windows sound driver for this sort of thing. I will try updating the onboard audio drivers to see if that...

    New Build + Teamspeak 2 + Logitech USB = Tin-Can Problems

    Hey guys, So first I will say that I'm not 100% sure that my inquiry should belong in this forum... but this is the closest thing I can see. If it doesn't belong here, please let me know and it can be moved. I've recently built a new system (which is in my sig), and migrated my OS from my...

    Gaming PC somewhere between 700-900, $1000 absolute MAX

    Unfortunately it doesn't help. :( I don't know if maybe the 500R is different from the 400R in that regard, but I can't see anything that I can do differently in order to get the PSU installed fan-down using all 4 screws without changing anything. It's always something with me!

    Gaming PC somewhere between 700-900, $1000 absolute MAX

    I have flipped the PSU around. The intake fan is now on the bottom and (as I was incorrect), it exhausts the air through the PSU out the back of the case where the power cable goes. Here's the problem: I don't know if removing the pads would make too much difference. Flipping the PSU around...

    Gaming PC somewhere between 700-900, $1000 absolute MAX

    I'll take a look once I wake up. My biggest concern is that I'm going to have to remove the pads on the bottom of the case in order to get the PSU in "correctly"... ugh.

    Gaming PC somewhere between 700-900, $1000 absolute MAX

    I saw videos and pictures of the 400R and 500R with corsair psu's properly installed. None referred to the feet being removed. Maybe it was cause I was drunk; I dunno. I'll double check tonight. Ok so the fan always blows through the crossers... Good to know! Now again is it preferred to blow...
