    Airflow confusion, Intake fans in the front or maybe the top?

    Cool in from the front, warm out from the back and/or up top, the smoother flow the better. Slight negative pressure works best inside a case - ideally the rear will help create a small vacuum and promote the highest pull flow across the components. Fewer fans often means better flow. Just set...

    My laptop performance is slow

    I'd start by removing the vent over the CPU and blow everything out with a can of compressed air. A lot of times, fuzz and dust can clog the fins, preventing proper cooling, thus preventing the CPU from running as efficient as it could be. What is your total RAM usage when the programs are...

    Ultrawide Setup HELP Please!!

    It's not the computer per se that allows you to run a specific display, but rather the video card (GPU) or in the case of on-board graphics, the specific motherboard. In the case of this display, any new-ish card should support the screen resolution. Do you know what brand/model desktop he has...

    Need Help On AMD FIREPRO W7100 graphic card BUILD, Trying to build a workstation desktop...

    Welcome to CF :) The card will fit on any board with a PCI-e slot. The motherboard and CPU, however, are what need to be matched up. The CPU you chose is a Socket 1151, therefore the Board also needs to be a Socket 1151, else the chip physically won't fit. Any of these will work...

    galexy s5 marshmallow

    Carriers can take a while to upgrade software on certain phones. They need to make sure everything passes their scrutiny first. If you really want it and are somewhat technically adept (can understand and follow instructions in a YouTube tutorial for your device/Carrier), just Root the phone and...

    Fallout 4

    Sniper build is like god mode after level 20 or so, if it suits you. VATS, a silenced rifle, and the right perks are a huge winning combo.

    What is plug and play technology?

    I was thinking the exact same thing. ;) Verbatim how a textbook or ditto'd copy (did I just show my age there?) would read.

    Probably a fan with a bad bearing or damaged fin causing it to vibrate at certain times.

    Grand Theft Auto 5 or Fallout 4. What to buy?

    It's all subjective - get what you think you'll enjoy more. I used to play GTA2 and it was fun but after a while it was just eh. A friend gave me a copy of GTA5 and I played for maybe two hours in 3 months? On the other hand, I've never played a FO game before and I have an obscene amount of...

    No Man's Sky

    That was awesome. I had it pre-ordered from Amazon (Prime usually gets discounted games for pre-order, this was the case here too) so even if it was horrible I wouldn't be out $60. So far I like it. I had one glitch the second day and it's been seamless since. Keep in mind the trailers can be a...
