Hey, guys. I'm just curious about some things. 1) How often do you deep clean your PC? Meaning, more than just a quick spritzing with the canned air. 2) What sort of tools do you use for a deep clean? If you use a brush to clean dust off of hardware, what kind do you use? 3) Do you run...

That thing is huge! I don't think it would fit in my case. Plus, I have no idea how to use it, what fans to buy, etc. Honestly, I don't have the first clue about how to do that. I know a lot about computers and was able to put my own together, but something like that exceeds my capabilities.

I e-mailed Arctic to get a confirmation as to which of their coolers would fir mt particular card, and the guy who replied listed on the Accelero Xtreme 280(X) as being compatible with my card, but then went on to say it would only work if my card used a standard PCB with a width of 98mm. He...

For me, RMA isn't an option. I don't have a backup card, and Sapphire's estimated RMA time is 4 to 8 weeks. I can't go that long without using my PC.

The sound came back today while playing BF4. I took the side panel off and tried to listen for where the sound was coming from, but it's hard to tell because of all the fans. Is there a definitive way I can find out if it's my GPU?

I've never heard of coil whine before, but upon looking it up, you could be right! I've also never heard of Unigine before, but I looked it up, and I'll give the free version a try right now! I'll update this post (or post a new one if someone else posts before I come back to update) with the...

Hey, everyone. I've got a Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD 7970 3GB GHz Edition graphics card in my PC. It can be found here (click me). The past couple of days I've noticed that when I get into a match in Battlefield 4, the card starts to make what I can only describe as a buzzing sound. Once I...
