Right now I have an Evga p55v motherboard, and I want upgrade my ram to this Kingston 16gb 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM RAM.

I did some research and read that sometimes RAM may not be compatible with motherboards (I presume this would be because maybe the motherboard is outdated).

What should I be looking for to find whether or not my motherboard will be able to use this RAM?

This is the RAM I'm talking about:

Edit:

Actually I was shopping around more and found this as well:

I'm receiving a solid state drive (finally) in the mail whenever canada post unclogs the cyber monday toilet.
I plan to install windows and select games to the new drive and format my old drive to be used as a dumpster storage device for less important things.
What is the most efficient way to do this and is there anything I should know before doing so?

Also, I've heard from people that getting steam to install to different drives can be troublesome is this true?

Steam installing to different directories is a drop down menu when you download something. It couldn't be simpler.

I just installed Windows 10 and I now have an issue with the audio. Whenever new audio starts, it's really loud until I adjust the volume. Adjusting the volume either up or down by any amount brings the audio levels back to normal. Is there a widely accepted solution to this issue?

Nevermind. Fixed itself.

FWIW, you can also just install steam overtop the existing steam folder (e.g. after reinstalling windows) and it'll pick up all your games data.

When you install Windows, you might want to have only your SSD connected and the HDD disconnected. The Windows installation program sometimes likes to put stuff on other drives it finds, and the boot loader might end up on the HDD or a recovery partition might end up there. You could either physically disconnect the cables of the other drives or there might be a way to disable SATA ports somewhere in the BIOS menus.

Is there any major downside to using your laptop as a desktop?

As in, buy a monitor + mouse + keyboard, and basically just do as if you had a desktop, putting the laptop on the side.

For reference: I have a MSI GE72 2QF

Intel i7-4710MQ
8GB RAM
GeForce GTX 970m

Well the downside would be that it's much more expensive than a desktop. Otherwise yeah you can do that, it's what they do in businesses so that people have comfortable workstations when at the office, yet retain some mobility.

So yeh, there's no downside afaik if you need your system to remain mobile

I ask because I'm abroad, and will remain here for the next 7 months.

I have a desktop back at home, but I don't plan on settling down for a couple of years. I just figured that, instead of buying a cheap desktop and selling it, I could just do that.

I was merely worried about it maybe putting extra strain on the laptop, but I mean it's a pretty powerful gaming laptop, so it shouldn't be an issue. Wanted to check that!

well hardware is kind of always stressed to its max whatever you do with it. that's why people get bigger GPUs and stuff

just monitor temps and make sure that the laptop is free from dust, i guess

Laptops cost more and can't really be upgraded beyond maybe the RAM. Laptops often have cooling problems under full load and use CPUs that are designed to run at a lower power state than their desktop counterparts (i.e. slower) to compensate.

So long as it performs adequately for your needs, it's fine to use. You can plug a monitor and keyboard/mouse into the laptop and use it like a desktop without otherwise noticing a difference.

As an added benefit, because laptops come with a battery they effectively have their own uninterruptible power supply (UPS), so a power outage won't shut off your machine (though you'd lose power any external monitors).

I am looking to get a new laptop, but I need a good cpu to make sure my sc2 addict is not affected.
Right now i am looking at this model:
http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/ROG-G501VW/

Am I crazy or the new CPUs all have lower clockspeed than my 3840QM?
Would that CPU perform better because of newer tech? (as in SC2 only)

Thanks guys.

The rough equivelant of the 3840QM in the lineup is the 6820/6920HQ, which clock up to 3.8ghz on 1 thread.

They're about 30% faster than ivy bridge on the same clock speed for the FPS number but actual experience may not be quite that much better.

Shot in the dark, but I'm ready to cry. Youtube rarely works for me on any quality setting. Typically it plays for a few seconds, crashes, and says "an error has occurred." This happens in firefox, chrome, and internet explorer and with both the flash player and html5 player.

Also, when I try to download the flash uninstaller in firefox it just says "C:\Users\Adam\AppData\Local\Temp\Cyh7QAMb.exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

Try again later, or contact the server administrator." This also happens if I try to install flash player again.

Other computers in the house work fine, so it's not the internet. I have no problems at all with playing livestreams on source quality or any other internet issues.

Please help

is cheap low end sound card (Asus Sonar DGX / Creative SB Audigy FX) worth considering at all over Realtek ALC1150 onboard? My friend ask me about buying one, but I have absolutely zero idea when it comes to sound. He listen to a lot of music, do serious video editing and some sound editing (mostly sound for his audio). Currently run on Realtek ALC1150 on Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4 motherboard. Options available are Asus Sonar DGX, Creative SB Audigy RX, FX, SB Recon 3D Pro. is any of those card make sense at all?

Thanks

thanks cyro, always glad to have your opinion.

So I want to connect a controller/stick to my PC and decrease input lag, so 2 questions:

1) Does USB 3.0 (blue) decrease input lag vs. USB 2?

2) Will using the USB ports in the back of the PC decrease input lag vs. the USB ports in the front?

1) No
2) No (most likely not, manufacturers may vary with power supply on such ports, but that's basically it).

Input lag has to do with the polling rate of the device, the higher the polling rate, the more times your device sends information to your PC. This results in faster response time.
For example 1000Hz polling rate == 1ms.
