Weird USB Phenomenon

I have an ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 motherboard running Windows 7, and lately both the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 have been acting funny. I've had this computer for 3 years and never had any issues until now. Keep in mind that I have cleaned and installed fresh drivers. What is happening is I will plug in...

Thoughts on large phone.

I have currently owned my Note 3 for almost a year now and so far I have had little to no issue with its size. Just to put it more into perspective I have it in a Fliptronics wallet case, which increases it's thickness more than double. I wear a wide variety of pants: Wranglers, Levis, Dickies...

Is it possible to change where Program Data is located?

I ran across the first link and several like it and pretty much halted there because I don't want to loose windows update as I actually do keep my Windows OS up to date. I don't understand why everything wants to dump updates and game data on the C:\ drive even though they are located on a...

Is it possible to change where Program Data is located?

I have a 120GB Solid State drive for my Win7 OS. I play a LOT of video games and at any given time I will have approximately 25 games installed on my 3TB storage drive and maybe my most played game on my Solid State for faster load times. Here is my issue: Whenever the games update or I save a...

Best 120hz monitor?

I am highly partial to the Asus VG248QE, mainly because I own two already. I mean 144Hz, 1ms response, and the image is beautiful after very little modifications. Newegg usually puts it on sale for $240 which makes it best bang for the buck in my opinion. Later on I will end up DIY G-Sync on at...

Dedicated physx card 460gtx - good enough?

For such a high end card like the 780Ti I don't understand the need for a dedicated PhysX card. I run a GTX680 and play all games that support PhysX maxed just fine. There must be something about this that I am not privy too, because my experiences with it have always been excellent with a...

GPU cleaning advice

I also use a an air compressor for cleaning out my computer. My CoolerMaster Trooper series case is loaded with filters so most of the time I just have to pull those out and blow them off. Afterwards I do a quick clean up inside the case, which usually doesn't amount to much. As stated before be...

What are your thoughts/opinions on this for an HTPC?

Storage isn't an issue for me as I have 3TB on my desktop and another 3TB network drive. I will most likely put an SSD for fast boot ups and overall performance and just stream any movies/music I have on storage. I suppose that if went the BIY route I have more options concerning storage and...

What are your thoughts/opinions on this for an HTPC?

I work with security systems and solutions at my job and almost all of them revolve around the fitPC3 as the server. They also offer other types of solutions like the Intense PC2 (IPC2). I won't be doing any gaming on it since I have my desktop for that. The IPC2 is also build-to-order so I can...

Any good Split-Screen PC games?

What I mean by "Split-Screen" is either 2 players with a dedicated screen or even sharing one screen like Street Fighter IV. I'm not too fond of sports games like basketball, baseball and what not. Are there any good local co-op/versus split screen games around?

Graphics card ATI 4650 failing?

Hey I play Tera Online too! Does it only happen when playing Tera or does it occur in all your games? When I had my HD4850 quite some years ago, while playing Call of Duty: MW2 I would get similar symptoms. After some investigation I finally I diagnosed it as an overheating GPU. Once I...

Explain MOBA Games to me

^You said it^ -- Replayability and the sheer competition makes it what it is. I have the luxury of 5v5 in house games on a weekend basis. That's 10 of us crammed into my family room having a blast. I started playing MOBA games back in 2004, I think it was, with 5.84b DOTA 1. Ever since then...

What difficulty level do you default to on your first play through?

I will play on normal to get the story of the game (if any) and then play back through on the hardest afterwards if I liked it for the bragging rights so to speak.
