A lot of my friends go for $1000 or $3000 gaming chairs, which serve the same purpose as a normal gaming chair. Which comes down to my question that isn't they the most overrated products out there or does they serve a real purpose? Kindly share your thoughts with me.

As a person that just got a brand new ryzen7 system and lingering if coffee lake would have been the better path for gaming and streaming csgo,pubg, etc , I feel there simply isn't enough data out there for this topic. I was on the fence between 7700k and the ryzen 7, 99% of the time the 7700k...

It's been 7 years since I built my first PC. And you guys helped me do it (I still remember Mfenn helping me every step of the way - I wonder if he's still around). That badboy ran for a solid 4 years, kicking every game's ass. It wasn't until 2015 that I had to upgrade my GPU since my old EVGA...

Currently using a GTX 1080TI, but want to make sure the rest of my computer is up to date! Processor is a Intel core I7 4790k and my motherboard is MSI Z97 GAMING 5. About to get myself a HTC Vive so want to make sure nothing will be bottle necked. Any suggestions? Thanks guys!

Hello builders and enthusiasts, I'm designing my new rig for the end of 2017 - early middle 2018. It's the first time for me to build a system from scratch. But I've read a lot and tried to keep myself updated with the new trends. I put together a few parts (pc part picker link below) and will...

Been having a lot of problems finding drivers that work properly or a tutorial that adequately shows how to install the drivers. This guy does it perfectly. Works like a charm in windows 10 and it was causing me a lot of headaches with bluetooth. I'm a huge fan of the ps3 controller still, in...

Since my laptop (A10-4600m) has a faulty fan for the second time I went on eBay and bought the top model Thinkpad X131e. It'll be here in a bout a week or so. They're going for $95 these days and seemed like a solid compact laptop. I've never owned a mobile "i" variant CPU before. I have a...

I need to buy a gaming laptop for college because they are good for viewing and editing videos too, and I have to buy it before school starts in two weeks. I've been looking around and have discovered a few specs that I think are important, but I don't have enough knowledge about specs to feel...

Hello guys! It has been a long time since I have posted and I am happy to say my current rig has lasted me about 7+ years now (you guys helped me design it way back when). Anyhow, it's about that time again... Looking to build a mid range build spending around $1,200. This is primarily just...

Sweet mother, I'm back, it's been 6 years since I've last posted on Anandtech and 10 since I've joined! WOW! Anyway, my mind being blown aside, I've come back here for a good reason: tech-savvy nerd central with good opinions. Not every day someone pops up in here and says "I have a nice budget...

Bought a Dell 8900 late 2015. Upgraded to GTX 970 and new PSU. From the beginning, I would have very random game lockups. Games would simply freeze. No BSOD, no sounds, just a frozen screen - forcing a hard reboot. Game settings or intensity of scene are unrelated. Games will freeze under light...

I have a good 1050 Ti NVIDIa Graphics Card, just got a high quality SSD and 2 sticks of 2133 Mhz 8GB DDR3 memory, and am trying to run Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (huge map, 100+ players on a server) smoothly, but it keeps lagging even when I set all graphics settings to very low. My system...

I want to build a new gaming rig, but I've been out of the loop for a while. I'd like to go fairly high end but within reason. So far, I've chosen the Intel i7-7700K as the CPU, but the motherboards are all over the place. I don't think I need one of the $500 ASUS Maximus VIII Extreme boards...

Hey all. Have not seen (or heard) from most of you in a while. Jobs, a decent system and 3 kids can do that to you. Anyway, I am looking at a 4+ year old I5 system (5300?) in a silverstone case with a 960 card that is startingto see its age. I got the original spec from here and it worked...

So, as I've written on the title, I have a friend who has the intel core i5 3570k, he told me that he doesn't overclock at all ( he just bought it a couple of years ago with a huge psu ). I tried oc the 3570k and got a stable 4.6 - 4.7 ghz. My question is, for gaming, is the i5 3570k with 4.6...

Hello! So I'm in a slight dilemma. I recently built a new rig. Following are the brief specifications: i7 6700K GTX 1080 16GB Gskill Rip Jaws V Asus Maximus VIII Hero Currently the monitor I'm using is an older one: The Dell S2240L. Its a 21.5inch 1080p IPS Panel. Basically it was good 5...

When I boot up to Windows 10 and start gaming immediately, performance is as expected (480FPS in osu! for reference). But after some time, FPS drops and stays to 200 fps with medium CPU load! The CPU isn't trying to achieve maximum performance at all! System Specs: Intel i5 6200U 2.8 Ghz Turbo...
