My actual problem, which isn't the one I originally stated in my first posts, is that the screen looks ever so slightly blurry and not as crisp as my original monitor which has the exact same resolution. Sorry for the confusion! | ||

If whichever is connected through VGA is blurry, you try swapping the cable. I vaguely recall reading about potential quality issues from mediocre VGA cables being used near their limit. | ||

After doing some research it looks that many manufacturers including Samsung and Apple use them in their high-end products even if the main advantage of Lithium-Polymer batteries is their lower costs. Other than that my research did not yield very interesting results. Lenovo also offers a regular Lithium-ion battery for a cost barely higher than the Lithium-Polymer one, what should I get? | ||

i do have a 5770 graphicscard in my pc. My dad has a 5770+ (overclocked) and i would like to use my dads one for crossfire. Will there be any problems with the different speeds of the graphics cards? Are there any solutions if so? Cheers | ||

Any suggestion for a new heat-sink? I used a Scythe Mugen 2. I dont think I can plug one with more than 158mm height. Mainboard is a ASRock 870 Extreme3. | ||

My cpu cooler is dead I think, fan on it doesnt work suddenly. The "cooler" is just a chunk of metal with heatpipes that has a few fans attached. The vastly more expensive part can't really break It has its own fan/s, not your case fans, and if they're not working you can easily replace them with alternate fans, even get quieter or more powerful ones than it came with if you feel like it | ||

PC says i have "new hardware", but does it mean too if I remove something or something is dead? :D If something is gone it's not new. New hardware means Windows picks up on something it doesn't know about and generally corresponds with an attempt to get drivers for it; if it's gone it has nothing to detect. Heatsinks generally don't register in Windows as hardware, since the only thing usually connected is fan power to the motherboard. Some heatsinks make use of a USB internal connector (e.g. a Kraken CLC to let you change the fan curve or LED), but most don't have much use for that. Even when that's done you don't even need to keep it constantly connected, just connected when you want to set the settings, then removed to free up the USB connector. I believe it's possible for an unchanged device to be picked up as new in a few cases, but I believe that usually involves software changes (like uninstalling drivers). | ||
