Depends on application/game, resolution, settings and a ton of other conditions if you mean bottlenecking in the sense that one component is capable of outputting more FPS than the other but total FPS is limited by the weakest link

Hi,
1st: if it's not simple enough, i will create own thread. I bought Logitech g400 few days ago and right button is easier to click while left button seems higher and louder. Is that normal for g400 model, or should I return it?
2nd: mousepad Razer Sphex will be good for this Logitech g400? Or any other non-material mousepad with similar price will be better?
thx bye

Hhhmm i got a problem, dunno how bad it is.....

i just came home from a LAN, when i first booted up my computer it says my CMOS was wrong or i dont remember what, i just pressed the button to continue to boot up normally

now when booted up:
- i have a permanent static noise through my headset
- i have my icons on the bottom right corner of the screen that dont show upg (when i pass my mouse where they're suposed to be, it gets lighted as though there was suposed to be an icon there, but nothing)
- the internet protocols that were blocked back at the lan are still blocked......
I have no idea where to start or what to do other then a restore, other options?



edit : Nvm, i guess i posted this too quickly, found a solution to everyone of my problems
for the sound : resolved through chaning port... must've damaged the fornt one through the the travel -.-
for the icons : just simple mass reboots
and for the protocols, i'm still fucked up for most of it, but was able to find a solution for some of them, still need help for it... i'm not really good in that domain (even not at all)

The audio for the front panel plugs into the motherboard. Perhaps that connection came a bit loose from vibrations on the trip.

You could search the website or forum for the LAN you were at for instructions on what to do about your internet stuff or some discussion about that.

If not just loose, the positioning of the front audio connection internally (where the cable is routed) affects the noise picked up. Just use the back plus maybe an extension, in general.

Didnt want to make a thread for this, dunno if its a simple question or not.
Im playing alot of diablo 3 atm and im getting so many disconnects. Ill lose connection, drop of the game and have to relog in. When this happens, i dont lose internet connection, i stay at full signal. A few times ive been alt tabbed browsing the net and i get an error saying cant display page. Again i havent lost internet connection, everything looks like it should be working fine. When this happens i alt tab back into the game and ive been disconected.

This is a real pain, ive googled this a few times and can never find anything related.
THanks

Reinstall/update network drivers, get all your windows updates, clean your PC of malware, check your cable's integrity.

My graphics card has died so I need to replace it. Does an old motherboard made for PCI-E 2.0 16x support PCI-E 3.0 16x cards?

Yes, it will work. You can search for your old graphics card in this table to compare it to the new card you want to buy: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html (cards in the same row have similar performance)

Unless you're playing games from 2005, the 640 is going to be underwhelming.

As mentioned not so many pages ago, the difference between 2.0 and 3.0 is largely negligible outside of some edge cases that won't apply to you.

shot story: can I just buy HoTS for a new account with HoTS and WoL already installed on my PC?

Long Story: Me and my brother played WoL, first sharing an account then I borrowed a friends account who doenst play anymore. HoTS comes along and then I get one for myself, I can't use the same one for my friend's account (now mine) If i buy HoTS again, I can just add it to my friends BUT if I get one separately for myself now does that mean I need to get a copy WoL too?

So recently I noticed that my microphone has been leaking sound into the computer. Even when I mute my microphone it still picks up sound. My stereo mix in recordings is disabled. I am also using onboard sound.

oh god please dont buy that card. It's a piece of crap card, that nvidia charges you an arm and leg for very low end performance simply because it's of the most recent series. It's weaker and worse than an older generation card that is higher end (ie 550 > 640).

There is a 7770 listed on that site for what seems to be a very decent price, that's a way better pick.

pci-e 2.0 is not even fully utilized by modern graphics card, so there's no reason to worry about pci-e 3.0. It'll be a very long time before cards really use pci-e 3.0. Right now you need three 680s and only in batman and dirt 2 does it make a difference, and it's less than a 9% difference on some odd resolution in synthetic settings.

pci-e 3.0 is backward compatible.

HotS is an expansion, you need to have a valid WoL license to use it.

AC adaptor so you mean the power brick? Your Korean PC store should sell universal power bricks with the Korean electrical plug and the right Samsung laptop-side plug. Ask the guy at the PC store, he probably does this multiple times every day.

While maybe not the (entirely) correct place to ask:

I recently destroyed my SGS3 (luckily, home insurance is paying) and now need a new phone. The SGS3 was a phone that I now think was much better than what I needed. If I'm looking for a new android smartphone that: runs a solid amount of apps like skype (voice only), facebook messenger, twitch, quick internet and spotify, what direction should I be looking?

The HTC One X seems ok, but might still be overkill. All I want is a convenient experience with 'normal' apps, not a mobile game center or HD videorecorder.

I am having a problem with I believe my gpu. When the games gets intense (watching replay at x4 or x8, when streaming and playing, or if i go more than medium settings in sc2) My gpu fan goes really high, and the temperature of my gpu goes up to about 76 c. (not overclocked- gtx 550 ti).

When this happens, my computer "kinda" goes to sleep for about 3-4 seconds and comes back. ( after it's back the gpu temperature its a bit lower, but then it just rises up again).

Is the gpu overheating? I cleaned it for dust just in case maybe that was affecting it, but it didn't get any better.
My gpu's idle temperature is about 35 c. , in the sc2 menus (sc2 is realy the only game i play atm) about 55 c. and when playing, about 70-75 c. (And in the higher end of that is when i run into the trouble i just mentioned).

My cpu is i5 2550k @4.2 mhz and my power supply is a 550 wtts. (less than 1 year old).

Help.
