Thanks for the input everyone, I put a post in the Alphacool forums maybe I can get a clearer response there. Will keep you posted.

Edit: if this is not the right sub-forum to post this please recommend or move it- it seemed to kind of be in a grey area but as it relates to aftermarket cooling I figured I would try here for people with the most knowledge/familiarity. Has anyone had any experience getting warranty support...

I built a mITX computer using the ASUS Strix Z390-I mobo (I built this computer back in the fall so Z490 was not available back then). For the CPU cooler I am using a Noctua NH-D15 dual tower cooler. Everything is great except one issue. One of the fans on the cooler protrudes out such that...

Hey everyone, I bought a LG 38GL950G a couple months ago, it's been awesome. A HUGE upgrade over my previous 23" 1080p/60hz monitor and a worthy upgrade to pair to my gaming PC I built in the fall. Currently I just have it sitting on my desk, pushed back as far as it can go. I have been...

This is definitely kind of true. The backstory here is that my old ISP got bought out for a new company and the new company offered 1gbit fiber at the same price I was previously paying for 50/10 fiber (actually a few dollars a month less)... who wouldn't take that deal? :) This whole upgrade...

So, not sure if this fits here best or the Apple forum. But I wanted to share a recent experience. I recently upgraded my home internet to gigabit fiber. My home network is pretty straightforward, fiber ONT>ethernet>Time Capsule (it is a 2TB 802.11ac model). I have a handful of wireless...

So I've been getting used to my surface 3, I have a question about the pen stylus that I bought to go with it: For a while now I have been using a wacom tablet as an input device (i.e. just general mousing, not drawing or art). For those familiar with wacom stylii, there is a two button rocker...

Well I caved and put in an order. It is coming from Best Buy so easy returns if it doesn't work out. Or I could maybe give it to my dad who probably would love a device like this. I picked up the type cover and stylus from Amazon both of which were slightly on sale (also a microsoft bluetooth...

I read an article recently about the surface 3 tablet, and that since Intel has cancelled the Broxton CPUs a direct replacement may not come out for some time. Then I saw that it is currently on sale (4GB RAM/128GB storage version) for $150 off, and I am very tempted to pick one up, as...

Unplug the controller from charging cable Turn controller on by holding xbox button Hold down the pairing button on the controller (like dbu8554 said, a small button near where the charging cable plugs in). Lights should flash on the controller Press button on wireless receiver, lights on...

This has been in the Anno games at least as far back as Dawn of Discovery, possibly further (I started playing with Dawn of Discovery). The narrator guy there would comment on your play time if you did 2 hours straight. I think when you got to 4 he would say something else. How do I know...

Confused, what do you mean when you unplug the controller? Sounds like a simple question but did you go through the paring process for the receiver and controller?

Well things seem to have improved. Although I'm not sure what is different. I previously had the Physx particles set on high, I reduced that to Normal (saw a little frame rate increase too) and kept playing. I'll still get a crash now and then but now it seems to save my latest progress so I...

I started playing AC4 for the PC but have had enormous difficulty making progress due to the game crashing all the time. AC4SP.exe or whatever it is keeps crashing. I got the game for free when I bought my last video card, redeemed/downloaded via UPlay. I have tried running it via Steam (as a...

Actually I don't run shadowplay or any other overlay (unless you count the steam overlay which fdoes not seem to have any bearing because it runs always and not just the first time I run the game). I do use MSI afterburner but again no OSD/overlay functions nor does it crash when GTA crashes.

I caved and bought this game on release based on the good reports. Performance wise I was not disappointed, it really maxes out my few years old PC (this is not a bad thing). I have never seen my GPU get above 70C, but this game pushes it to 80C. Also I like how 6GB of my 8GB RAM is used, and...

I've been using the sennheiser PC360s for the last several years and have been very satisfied. I'm not hard on my gear but for 100% of my pc gaming i use the headset (usually just as headphones) and it has held up just fine. Performance and comfort have been great the mic boom is a little more...

My razer mamba 2012 seems to be going on the fritz. What happens is that if I move the mouse in circles, the cursor seems to be locked in to just one axis (usually horizontal). If I rapidly move it about both axes work fine but at normal mousing speeds it is constantly getting stuck. I have...

Thanks. Looks like that cable is going to be a little short at 6 inches. I got an idea and harvested the same cable from the router I took the antenna from. It too is about 6 inches and doesn't quite reach the necessary distance. However your link tells me what to look for (sounds like it is...

My SFF PC uses an ASUS P8H67-I deluxe mobo. It has built in wifi via a mini-PCIe slot (which I replaced with an intel centrino adapter) I had always been using the stock wifi antenna (the two circular plastic things shown below). I recently bought a house and set up the PC in my new place...

my advice? get a set from a B&M store where returns are easy, and try it out. Depending on what your needs are it may work out for you after all, or it may not. Since power circuits in homes are so variable, it is hard to get a good indication of how well it will work for you specifically...

I only installed nvidia driver and physx software. None of the other stuff (HD audio, GeForce experience, etc) I will try reinstalling MSI afterburner tonight

I got a strange problem. I was using my PC today and installed some updates from Windows Update. It was bigger than the usual install as there were a number of updates, and at the end it asked to restart. I restarted the computer and everything seemed normal. I put in my password to log...

I have both books and I like them both. The quality of the book (paper, binding, printing, etc) is quite good considering most of the time things like these aren't that great. As far as content goes, there is a pretty good amount of backstory in it, I believe the book of Cain has more...

Maaaan, this thing looks amazing. When the first Blade 14 came out I thought it looked great except they shot themselves in the foot with that garbage screen. Epic failure. Now, they have made up for it in spades with an IPS (FINALLY) high DPI screen. And what looks to be a pretty powerful...

Wish there was a faster way to salvage items. Like for example if you had the salvage tab open, right clicking on items would salvage them from your inventory. Dragging them one by one is a pain and a hassle.

So any legendary can spawn at any level? Or maybe there are minimums. On the bnet game guide, the legendary items have levels associated with them, maybe they cannot spawn below that level? (so you will never find lvl5 Sledge of Athskeleng, etc)

Heh that staff is pretty cool. I have found some interesting legendaries myself. Among them: Shoulders that turn all of your equipped items indestructible (no death penalty for SC basically) Shoulders that let you cast TP while under attack (also puts up a small defensive shield when you are...

It's strange how um.. accessible the new content is. Almost like the latest patch contained all the RoS content, just locked away until official release. I just beat Diablo using my WD character and you can select D3 vanilla or RoS credits at the end :) I don't recall anymore what the old...

First off I guess the title is a little misleading since I know what the gist of Synapse 2.0 is... and the controversy surrounding it (let's not go there please). I also understand that aside from a one-time account registration, you can pretty much run the software offline. While this is not...

I logged in and played some of the new patch. Used my WD who was like lvl18 and had just started Act2 (I also set it to Master difficulty). In about 3-4 hours of play I think I found 4 or 5 legendaries. Not farming or anything, just running through Act2. That's certainly a massive increase...

Sounds like hogwash. What is your source? I see no reason why VA panel technology would differ in any way than TN or IPS in this regard.

I have an honest question about mining, because I really don't get it. This is my understanding of crypto currency mining: 1) The only crypto currency worth anything right now is BTC 2) The "difficulty" of mining BTC long ago reached the point that ASIC is the only game in town to make...

I recently bought an evga 770 4gb sc video card. Since it is the 4gb version, it has memory modules on the rear of the card. The memory on the front side are covered by the metal heat spreader and cooler, but the chips on the back have nothing I was thinking of getting the backplate for the...
