    Acer Predator XB271HU bmiprz won't overclock to 165 hz

    I have enabled the overclock on the actual monitor. Whenever I try to push it up to 165 hz refresh rate in Nvidia Control Panel, it won't work and just gets stuck on a mostly dark blue with the top part of my screen as a lighter blue. It eventually reverts back to 144 hz. I have a 780 ti and...

    HoA problems and landscape plans

    I'm in a pickle. My family decided to do frontyard work without filing paperwork with the HoA first. None of us have any clue on how to draw landscape plans. Am I able to hire a contractor to simply draw the landscape plans for the finished project?

    H60 failing and need a new cooler

    My desktop came with a 2013 H60 water cooler. It seems like it's failing and I need a replacement. I prefer a regular cpu fan/heatsink combo that doesn't require me to have access to the back of my motherboard. I'm using a 4820k cpu. What would be a good replacement?

I would rather wait to build a rig if something worthwhile pops up later this year. I'm looking to build a high end rig and future proof it as much as possible. I want it to...

    Disabling CERTAIN services actually SLOWING Win Vista boot up time

    As topic says, disabling some if not just 1 of the services actually increases the boot up time for vista quite a bit. I haven't bothered going through each service that is recommended to SPEED UP boot up time, but was wondering if anyone had any ideas before I start testing. The services...

    Question about Undervolting GPU

    I have a P-7805u which I have read a lot of complaints about the overheating. I noticed it starts overheating once the voltage jumps to 1.12. I was wondering if there was an easy way to modify the voltage settings without having to go through the trouble of getting a Dos Bootable USB drive.

    About Fan Placement in PS

    My current PS has a fan on the back end where you plug it in/switch it on/off. I've noticed a lot of PSs no longer have that or just have the fan on the top end of the PS. How does the air circulation work on those PS with only a fan on the top. Is it blowing directly into the top of the tower...

    I've tried searching around a bit before posting this, but couldn't really find anything. My issue involves my CPU usage suddenly sky rocketing to 60-80% when I'm watching streaming videos online or just trying to play a game. My computer runs very smoothly when watching the videos for like 30...
