    Setting up a new network for a home

    Question about fps below hz on a gsync compatible monitor

    I am looking to get a LG 27GL850 and looking at the compatibility list I see that it does 48-144Hz. Lets say I am running a game and am getting below 48fps..lets say 35fps. The variable refresh rate doesn't go that low, but it could do 2xfps as the refresh to get the same effect (70hz). Right...

    Looking at the Creality Lineup

    I'm looking at getting a printer under 500 and have been eyeing the Creality lineup. I'm not sure if it is just me, but they seem to have too many models and it is confusing trying to figure out the benefits of one over the other. I am looking at the Creality CR 20 Pro, Ender-3, and Ender-3...

    Are HGST drives now discontinued?

    I know that Western Digital had bought HGST a few years back, but there were still HGST branded drives being manufactured and sold. My NAS is getting a little full, so I did a search for HGST and all the links just return to Western Digital. Are HGST drives no longer being made?

    Games not going fullscreen

    I am having an issue where BF1 and now For Honor will not go full screen. I can do borderless window, but it refuses to go full screen. This just started without any driver update. I went ahead and updated my drivers and it still didn't fix it. Alt+Enter didn't fix it either. I have a 1070. Has...

    Are display resolutions outpacing video cards?

    It seems that in the past year or so there has been a big push for high resolutions display to 4K and beyond. Now that people are using 4K, 5K, or even higher resolutions, how are games going to be able to play at acceptable frame rates on these things? I feel like video card performance has...

    Put a koolance block on my 290x

    GPU thermal paste question

    I am going to mount my water block on my 290 tonight and have a question about that. I know with a CPU you only need to put in the center and let the pressure spread the paste over the IHS (with the chip only being in the center of the spreader). The GPU chip does not have a IHS, though. So...

    Is my 4770k a dud?

    I tried for the first time overclocking my 4770k. The last processor I have overclocked was a Q6600, so all these new settings and voltages are unfamiliar to me. There seem to be so many now.

    Aftermarket cooler question

    I know galaxy, gigabyte, msi, etc put custom coolers on their cards, but I couldn't find anywhere to buy just the coolers themselves. From looking around it doesn't look like there is much offering in the aftermarket GPU cooling realm other than what you get on your card when you purchase it. I...
