    ASUS MG278Q: 144hz monitors and input lag, PS4 use, etc.

    I've been looking to upgrade my current 60hz monitor to a freezync one since I have a R9 390. Although I do have some reservations of going freesync since with new GPUs coming out I could see myself going Nvidia, but I would essentially lock myself in if I went freesync and bought a ~$400...

    Thermal compound. How much do you need for an intel cpu (volume)?

    I have a Hyper 212+ and I am planning on upgrading my AMD cpu to a 3570k. I thought I had enough thermal compound left, but now I am second guessing that. I have a tube of IC DIamond, about 0.2 ml left in the syringe, not counting what's in the tip. So maybe 0.3 ml. This is according to the...

    I'm looking to replace my CM Hyper 212+ with a liquid cooling solution, mostly to save space as the noise from my case is not an issue for me. My main problem is with my current mobo and possibly my future upgrade the Hyper 212+ hangs over the ram slots and I am unable to use two of them. So...

    Upgrading advice? Going from AMD 555BE to Intel.

    My PC had been getting BSODs on a regular basis for a while. Resetting the mobo tends to fix the issue, but once I shut down the PC the problem returns on the next boot. I've come to the point where I just want to upgrade. Go from the AMD 555BE (4 core unlocked) to something intel based...

    GTX 480 (video out via DVI), then also via mobo VGA?

    I have an extra VGA monitor around and was thinking of setting it up as a second monitor. But it's VGA only, so I'd have to get a DVI>VGA adapter. I tried putting the VGA monitor on the mobo's VGA port and then my main monitor on the DVI port of the GTX 480, but nothing happened. I messed...
