If you have integrated graphics (intel HD something), you could check with that instead and see if it's your graphics card or something else.

It could be your monitor, so maybe try to check with another monitor you may have lying around. Either way, I'd narrow it down so that you know what isn't the issue.

What's a good 2TB external drive? Need to store a bunch of RAWs from ESPORTS events. Oh and a bunch of FLACs. Looking to spend about $100. USB 3 is fine.

I've never had problems with my Western Digital MyPassport - various flavors, 3.0, powered over USB, generally pretty handy. And I think the price is about that on Newegg right now.

This is prolly quite shameful, but bear with me. Got a smartphone without hardware keyboard now, a moto G. If I need to press a number during a phonecall, how do I do it?

If you take the phone away from your head during a call, the screen should turn on. At the bottom there should be a button to bring up a keypad.

Should look something like:

That square with a bunch of squares in it will bring up the keypad

so i havnt upgraded to windows 10 atm, because im pretty comfortable with my windows 7, i know how to fix most of my problems just by googling (lol) and it seems alot of the times people have the same problems with windows7 and with an answer.
Thing is im not a computer guru, so when stuff doesnt work i have to find someone else who knows about it. But windows 10 hasnt been around for very long and im a bit worried that if something goes wrong there wont be enough people that have the same problem and have worked out an answer.

Basicaly should i upgrade to windows 10? its giving a notification like "dont miss out on windows 10" what happens if i dont upgrade do i just miss windows 10 forever or will it then cost money to upgrade i dont get it.

Yeah eventually you'll have to pay for it. I think the free upgrade period is about a year.

Or just install the english version and change the language inside origin launcher, what I did.

I dont know how this works, so in the video it looks like theres a normal spinning fan as well to cool the computer and then theres like some kind of water network which i guess kinda touchs the heated bits when the computer gets hot and then the heat is transfered?? the water at the end always seems to be flowing, but is the heat transfered really that efficient wouldnt there be like a glass/plastic tube between the liquid and the hot piece.

How much extra cooling does this provide, im definitely wont look into buying stuff like this im not going be so high tech

The fan you see at the front is blowing air across a radiator which appears to be drawing air in from the front of the case or out from the front of the case - doesn't look clear to me from a quick look at the video.

The thermal transfer liquid running through the case is for aesthetics - I can't imagine there is much heat transfer. Otherwise, the liquid cooling is just like any other closed system where the coolant is running through the pipes into the blocks on the parts to be cooled (that CPU block looks interesting) and then carried around to the radiator which cools the liquid by shoving air across the fins.

It's a very nice looking custom liquid cooling system, but not anything especially high tech.

Hi, I have some questions so I figured I should ask there.
My build is w7 sp1 64bits, 4GB ddr3 ram, i5 750, P7P55D and radeon Hd5850.
I got a 212 coolermaster fan instead of the stock one for my CPU, and one for the GPU (scythe something, not sure of the brand/model).
I have stopped trying to play starcraft 2 HotS because I could not maintain a decent framerate on it (60fps with v-sync).
I have been able to play it just fine one year ago but right now the framerate is dropping hard.
Looking at ATI Control Center I saw that sometimes the card was too hot (70 celsius degrees) and because of that the card would stop running at performance frequences, which is probably why I can't play smoothly.
I opened up my case and saw that the GPU fan had some trouble spinning by itself, it doesn't necessarily start by itself, I had to give a trigger manually, which is quite problematic since I want to use my computer with the case closed... I had this fan on the card for maybe two or three years but I stopped gaming quite a lot the last two years.

My question is therefore simple: can I fix the fan by myself or am I good to try to buy another one? It was quite a pain to install so removing it from the card then installing another one on it will probably give me some troubles...

Another question is: will this build be sufficient for Legacy of the Void on hybrid settings or something? (60fps all the time from early game to late game) In 1v1 especially, I don't care much if I can't play 4v4 with a decent framerate.
Of course it's assuming my card is cool enough to run at the expected frequencies.

Sorry if it was quite long but I don't know where else post it and I can't afford a new computer right now but I would really like to be able to play sc2 competitively again.

@Poopi:

I guess you could just buy a new fan. You say you have a third-party cooler from Scythe and don't use the original cooler that was on the card. Doesn't this mean this cooler you have is already prepared to be used with different fans? Does it have some sort of fan bracket or clamps to keep any fan in place? Do you have an adapter to connect the cable of a normal PC case fan to the smaller fan headers like what's used on the GPU?

On my card here, I also had to replace the fans. I bought normal 92mm case fans and tied them onto the cooler. I connected the cable to the motherboard as I couldn't find an adapter for the fan header on the graphics card.

The whole thing looks ghetto and very ugly, but works pretty well. The fans I used run a lot slower and can't be controlled by the card, but they are super thick compared to what's normally used on a graphics card so still cool well enough.

Another thing... are you sure the card is slowing down because it's too hot? Those 70 °C might be completely fine. That temperature would be alright for my current GTX 680, and on my old GTX 560 Ti something above 90 °C was supposedly fine. You might want to research details about what was going on with those GPU chips that were used on your HD5850.

I wanted to get a new monitor but when I went to best buy website there are so many different types:

I'm not sure what I should get. I want an HD monitor so if I watch DVD movies/stream netflix it's in good quality. Also, I mainly play BW and OSU sometimes SC2 or CSGO. I do a lot of reading/typing on the computer. I would also maybe like to connect an Xbox One to it and use it as a TV?

Thanks for the help

Edit: Price range: < $200. Size: ~24"

So a while ago I made this post and today I saw on newegg they were having a sale on this ultrawide monitor. Is this a decent buy for what I was looking for? I don't have much experience with ultrawide monitors and whether or not they're more of a burden than not with the 21:\9 ratio.
www.newegg.com

So, I finally decided to purchase this monitor: Acer - H6 Series 23" IPS LED HD
and I love it so far. It's a nice glossy monitor which is what I wanted and the size is great.

I'm now looking to upgrade my graphics card. I have an Nvidia gt240 and I'm wondering what is a low priced graphics card that can run the latest games on medium settings and games like Skyrim on max settings? Thanks in advance!

Edit: Looking for something < $100
