    Can my computer support the GeForce 1080 GTX Graphics Card?

    Yup, using Nicehash to mine other crypto and be paid in bitcoin. I have a 1060 gtx 6gb currently and I heard the payback period is the same with ether card based on output so I figure go with the more expensive card for the upside after the card is paid back. I would only use one of the cards...

    Can my computer support the GeForce 1080 GTX Graphics Card?

    GPU Temperature Side Case On / Off Question

    I had a question about whether I should keep the side panel of my computer case on or off. With the case on, when my Nvidia 1060 GTX 6 GB graphics card is working at 100%, the GPU temperature gets to 69-71 degrees Celsius with an 80% fan speed. With my case off, the GPU temperature ranges from...

    Need New Computer Build Help - Upgrading after 9 years

    Yeah I totally didn't realize you had to install it before the Mobo. It could short against something? Really? The IO parts look like standard plug and play stuff, that stuff is shortable?! Is it better to just not have it on then rather than being held in loosely by the IO plugs?

    I think I misused the word backplate, I meant IO shield.

    Need New Computer Build Help - Upgrading after 9 years

    Oh I meant the 9600 GT, not the GTX. I also misused backplate, I meant the IO shield where the IO connectors are. In regard to that, I noticed that in order for me to put in the IO shield, I need to take out the motherboard. So I just put it on with the plugged in USBs and DVI cables keeping...

    Need New Computer Build Help - Upgrading after 9 years

    Curious, I noticed the mobo has an intel graphics 630 chip, how does that compare with an nvidia 9600 gt (8-9 year old graphics card). Also, do I need to put in the mobo backplate or is that optional? There's a big hole if I don't add it in where all the USB and other peripheral thingy's.

    How's the Nvidia cards compared to the Radeon cards? With regard to the cases, are there any cases too small for standard mobo's or make it difficult to install other cards? I have 3 hard drives that I may carry over. How do you install Windows if you don't have a DVD/Blu-Ray drive? Do they...

    Need New Computer Build Help - Upgrading after 9 years

    Good question, I rarely if ever use a Blu-ray player, I figure my current one has one, so I figure I should get another one. I have a PS4, so I could easily just run it from my PS4. I do use optical discs from time to time, like Turbo Tax installations and old games (I installed Age of Empires a...

    Thanks so much for the system recommendation. Question, for the memory, Corsair Vengeance, https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820236164, I noticed it doesn't have any reviews on Newegg, is it because it's a pretty item? I was reading that the CPU doesn't come with a stock...
