Sound issue -- need a mouse program or sound program that lets me change volume

Does it not come with software that lets you set that? I know Logitech software has that functionality bundled in the software. You can try this solution, and then set your Imperators' middle buttons to Win+PgUp/PgDn.

Where to go for up to date build suggestions?

Just to let you know, pretty much any motherboard will support fairly advanced headphone amps and DACs, since most of the time you're just going to be using USB out. This is coming from someone with a Q701 and HE400. More specific advice (which this forum loves to give, don't worry) will have to...

The Witcher 3 To Look Same on All 3 Platforms

This is true, however, the fact is that keyboards are conceived to allow for access to as many different keys as possible by muscle memory, and a mouse is designed to allow for an easy metaphor for interacting with things on a screen. That means that anything that involves precise clicking or...

Trying to put together a new PC - please help

I own the game but don't have hyperthreading. It's a tough life. it does look like they attempted a fix.

Damn, I read through it too quickly. But in the other link there is a clear statement, tested on a fully populated server.

Competition Professional Gaming Computer

Are there 144hz monitors that can strobe? I thought you had to choose between lightboost@120hz and 144hz.

The Witcher 3 To Look Same on All 3 Platforms

I actually personally enjoyed The Witcher 2 far, far more with an Xbox controller than my KB/M. Being able to look around quickly was not as important as being able to move your character precisely via analog stick, and that's the one area that I freely admit that console controllers have a huge...

I think the real choice in monitors comes down to whether you'd rather have less motion blur via strobing or a high framerate. I personally think the strobing is a better solution because it requires 20% less work from the GPU. Plus strobing has advanced to the point where it's extremely easy to...

Whoops, I linked the wrong benchmarks. Here's one that reports no improvement between 4 cores and 8 threads. In fact, some sites report a performance hit due to hyperthreading.

Need Suggestions for Gaming Rig/Virtualization Host

While OlyAR15's build is in principle what you need, I think it's a bit overkill and perhaps not well suited for the purposes of virtualization, particularly if you depend on the virtualizations being stable and error free. If that's the case, overclocking may not be necessary or even a good...

Thoughts on mid-range gaming build?

Didn't you just shave off 50€ via the miscellaneous changes? Honestly, I think it would be worthwhile to sacrifice an HDD all together for just a 250GB+ SSD, and add an HDD later when the budget allows for it. 250GB still easily allows for Windows and several large programs (mine holds...

I think you are making a mistake with the CPU and SSD choices. Battlefield 4, for example, does not scale at all with more CPU threads, as seen here. In gaming, it is very rare to need something with as many threads as the 4790K. I seriously think you should reconsider. Meanwhile, SSD improves...

My Assassin's Creed Franchise Review...so far.

Unity is honestly pretty good if you're into slightly less handholding on missions and a little more stealth. Objectives tend to be a little more nebulous and the game guides you less often than previous AC games with explicit waypoints. The stealth system is also much less overpowered than in...

Gaming Mouse Recommendations

I really like the G502 as someone who grips their mouse with primarily fingertips. Nice scroll wheel that can adjust between quantized and free scroll, enough buttons to be very functional, adjustable weight, on the fly DPI adjust if you want that for whatever reason, switch between 3 preset...

My first new computer build in years

In addition to mfenn's comments on PSU choice, I wanted to chip in with a couple of facts on the matter: the average Platinum unit is absolutely not worthwhile, particularly if you are comparing products made by reputable manufacturers. For example, the Seasonc S12II at 520W is far less money...
