    Microsoft Confirms DirectX 11.2 is a Windows 8.1, Xbox One Exclusive

    I believe that MicroSoft knows Exactly what they are doing. Stretch out some updates and keep them just enough apart and build into every other update, or every third update things that people want and or need. Very Smart Marketing Strategy. As for me I won't be advancing to Widnows 8. I'm...

    PSU Noisey

    Don't be afraid to air blast it and blow out any dust...then don't worry about taking it apart if that doesn't fix the issue. A new power supply can always be purchased... The experience will teach you that many people are quick to go out and buy a new one when in fact it just needs some...

I'm presently building and I understand the AX860 has the issues so Corsair is suggesting the AX860i as an alternative?

    Home theater equipment cooling.

    Vent to the attic or wall with just a wall or ceiling vent and the hot air will rise and the cooler air can enter and sink like it is suppose to. Another thing you can do is to add a 120V fan/radiator to the ceiling so that it sucks the hot air already up high, out of the closet. Since it is...

    Which Windows 7 ?

    I am about ready to purchase Windows 7 (64 bit) but I do not know the difference between the two Windows 7 programs. Would someone try to explain the differences between the Programs to me in a fairly simple terminology? I'm just not a software person that understands things very easily.

    How much SSD is enough

    I may end up just using my old computer and a flash drive or two to save/download any programs, music, photos, documents, etc and that way I can just have smaller SSD's in my computer and spare the installation of my old SATA Hard Drive into my new Corsair 650D Tower. SINCE I do not play any...

    My worst enemy is myself when it comes to buying to much or to large. I was forced to rethink my computer when I recently built a computer on paper and it finally came up to punching numbers and it totaled out at nearly $3K. Silly me! So far on this build I have kept it to less than $1K. I...
