My gaming rig's mobo is an older ASUS Maximus Hero VII. The board disables items when in "m.2" mode. I also have a Asus TUF Z270 that I don't see anything listed as being disabled when using m.2 drives. So my questions about the ASUS TUF Z270 are this. 1. It looks like it has two M.2 Slots...

I currently have a 5 year old 1 TB SSD for my OS drive. I got a Samsung 970 EVO NVMe 2TB during Black Friday. I'm wondering if I should replace my OS drive with the 2TB NVMe (cloning the drive), or if I should just add the drive for storage instead. My current OS drive floats around 100 GB of...

Salutations! I'm wanting to transfer my SSD OS Drive to an M.2 and use the SSD space for a games/media drive. I'm unsure of which M.2 to purchase, as I'm looking to keep it under $300. Here's my Motherboard. Also, could I use a PCIe Adapter like this, to occupy my open PCIe slot, while also...

Can this Gamepad which is in AZERTY format, be made to work like it's QWERTY counterpart? Obviously the buttons won't mystically change letters, but... Can the unique rounded nav keys can be: Q, W , E A, S, D Instead of: A, Z, E Q , S, D This gamepad is the only one I've felt comfortable...

Closed! Found them! Thanks everyone!

With nerve damage, using a keyboard has become challenging to game. As a modder and PC enthusiast, that really sucks. I found a keyboard about two years ago that really has allowed me to game, play shooters and MMORPGs, without having to resort to "Damn, I need my controller". The Steelseries...

So I've been using a recliner and an older Studio RTA desk for about two years now. I set my Steelseries Merc Stealth on my lap and this for my Razer Naga. And yet folks say that I would be more comfortable with a normal chair and leaving everything on my desk. I mean... would I? So...

I'm posed with a OS drive dilemma, for a gaming rig I'm building. And on the side... a storage inquiry for the same rig. OS DRIVE: I'm tossed between using a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD -- MZ-75E500B/AM and the Plextor m6e 256GB with Windows 8.1, as my OS drive...

07/17/2015 POST MORTEM: Absolutely loving the unit. If I had to do it all over again, I would have picked up a second 1 TB SSD for modding and extra steam games. Hey [H]. After 6 successful years, it's time to retire my gaming rig and turn it into our multimedia unit. And of course build a new...

I'm wanting to take photo's at a weekly midnight movie, with a live floorshow. The cast is really lacking in good, clear photo's, due to the theater being so dark. Their work is an art that really needs some great quality shots. I really don't know that much about brands, etc. anymore...

I have next to no experience with Pre-Builts in an office environment, as I built my own over the last few years for gaming. Now I find myself buying desktops for light office work, which I've never had to do before. Here's what I'm looking for. Two identical internet ready computers, for...

Greetings, audiophiles! I am in the market for a gaming headset to chat with my guild and join in on some shooters with my friends. After looking, I see the wireless market isn't as varied as the wired one. So, after watching and reading some reviews, I thought I would settle on this...

Hi all. Searching for suggestions for a TV exclusively for HD Console Gaming. Sure hope you can help me out here! I have a Dell 30" monitor that I use for my PC Gaming and now I'm wanting to add a 32" 1080p TV to the other portion of my L Desk, strictly for XBox 360 Console gaming. I sit about...

Well, my wife's finally wanting her own gaming laptop to play WoW and maybe later on Guild Wars 2, etc. She's set on an Alienware mx11 series laptop, as she wants something light, but with a fullscreen. http://www.alienware.com/Landings/m11x.aspx Are these alright for light gaming (as I...

Why November? SKYRIM! Big time Elder Scrolls nerd and I'm looking at my 4890 2GB with a scornful eye. It was ok that I missed out on the DX11 features and High Rez texture pack for Dragon Age 2... but no one messes with my Skyrim (or other games coming soon that will support dx11). So now...

Awww yeah. While not a surprising title to throw on sale, Mass Effect is a great game. And for $5 this may be a great gift! Just... don't pick up the DLCs, despite being free. http://www.direct2drive.com/holiday/ The rest of their specials end today as well.

Ok, after shutting off my PC normally last night, I turn it on to find my resolution back down to 800x600, when my natice is 2560x1600. Anyway, no big. Go to settings and pull my slider. Oh shit, it shows 1280x800 as the max resolution. Uninstall the old ATI drivers and reinstall. Same...

Jeesh. I really need to go to the Betty Ford of Video Games. I bought 2 new Velociraptor 300GB HDD's for my new i7 rig. 1 for my OS, Apps, Photoshop Images and music, etc. and 1 for games. My games drive is almost full and all it has on it is games! Oi... and I'm not done installing all my games...

Title says it all. Absolutely HAS to be a wireless. I'm currently using the Microsoft Wave keyboard and mouse combo and while I absolutely LOVE them, the mouse is starting to stick and go. Appreciations in advance for any helpful suggestions and links to the products.

.... after having it for only 3 years? I'm starting to get weirdness with my PC. Screen will randomly go blank while playing games and not come back on. Today, it took a half hour of turning the PC on and off to get past the bios loading screen. New Video Card didn't solve it either...

Ok, after several days of searching, I cannot find a 4890 2GB that's NOT $100 over retail price (being sold by resellers on eBay). What the hell is going on here? Am I just looking in the wrong places?

I play a lot of games. I mean... A LOT of games. Most of these are classics that don't require much graphic power to enjoy. A few are gpu needy games like Crysis, Fallout 3 (with heavily modded photo-realistic textures, enhanced meshes, etc.), Oblivion (likewise over heavily modded) and of...

No arguing a moderator's decision to lock, ban or delete a user/post/thread in public threads. Take it to PM's. That is so freaking annoying to see someone douche around about it publically.

I'm looking to buy a used, or new Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows. Here it is below. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826105081 I'll pay via non-cc Paypal. I don't have Heat, but maybe we can change that. I should get hip on trading and buying. I'll be...

So Sapphire has a few links to dealers that "sell" the atomic cards up on their site for their new card, but no one is actually selling it yet. When is this card supposed to be released by?

People keep telling me when we hang out how much faster the i7 runs compared to my current QX6700. I understand every Intel evolution brings about improvements... but just how large of an improvement are we talking about here? Does a stock i7 feel like an overclocked QX6700 at 3Ghz? Slower...

Hi all, I just bought my first laptop, which I'll be using to record music and perhaps small amounts of gaming, while not at my regular computer. It's a 17" Gateway FX and I have a small slew of questions to ask. 1. I noticed it gets hot after a lil while. Can someone point me in the...

It's been 4 years since I recorded music or had anything to do with it. I was working as a recording manager at a music gear store, hating the business side and having no time or desire for the creative side. When I quit, I put my tools and recording computer away and got as far away as...

Ok, so I'm not really hip on mp3 downloads as I've always thought grabbing a CD was easier; but I'm willing to give this a shot here. I see 3 albums I want to buy, but I'm confused about a few things. 1. iTunes has each album available for $1 more than Amazon. 2. Amazon comes in an mp3...

Best is always a relative term. However, when comparing apples to apples it's an easier term to accept. I'm looking for opinions on what is the best 4890 out right now or coming out in the next two months.

The stock fan is loud and I found out in my early experiments doesn't keep the CPU cool enough to reliably overclock. I'm searching for a solution and only see two coolers on the Egg that are specifically geared towards my machine...

Ok, ATITool and ATI Tray Tools are simply not working over driver issues. I disable driver signing and it's still an issue. What other tools can I use to OC my card?

I had 4x1GB mem sticks and upgraded to 8GB (4x2). I get a constant crash before windows loads, right at the loading screen. I remove 4GB of the sticks and it starts up fine. Added the removed RAM and removed the known functioning RAM, Boots up Fine. So no dead RAM. Just can't get 8GB working...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a free program that I can run, which will tell me what drivers I need to update for any set computer I run it on. Any advice?
