    Sound issue -- need a mouse program or sound program that lets me change volume

    Does it not come with software that lets you set that? I know Logitech software has that functionality bundled in the software. You can try this solution, and then set your Imperators' middle buttons to Win+PgUp/PgDn.

    Where to go for up to date build suggestions?

    Just to let you know, pretty much any motherboard will support fairly advanced headphone amps and DACs, since most of the time you're just going to be using USB out. This is coming from someone with a Q701 and HE400. More specific advice (which this forum loves to give, don't worry) will have to...

    The Witcher 3 To Look Same on All 3 Platforms

    This is true, however, the fact is that keyboards are conceived to allow for access to as many different keys as possible by muscle memory, and a mouse is designed to allow for an easy metaphor for interacting with things on a screen. That means that anything that involves precise clicking or...

    Competition Professional Gaming Computer

    Are there 144hz monitors that can strobe? I thought you had to choose between lightboost@120hz and 144hz.

    The Witcher 3 To Look Same on All 3 Platforms

    I actually personally enjoyed The Witcher 2 far, far more with an Xbox controller than my KB/M. Being able to look around quickly was not as important as being able to move your character precisely via analog stick, and that's the one area that I freely admit that console controllers have a huge...

    Competition Professional Gaming Computer

    I think the real choice in monitors comes down to whether you'd rather have less motion blur via strobing or a high framerate. I personally think the strobing is a better solution because it requires 20% less work from the GPU. Plus strobing has advanced to the point where it's extremely easy to...

    Whoops, I linked the wrong benchmarks. Here's one that reports no improvement between 4 cores and 8 threads. In fact, some sites report a performance hit due to hyperthreading.

    Need Suggestions for Gaming Rig/Virtualization Host

    While OlyAR15's build is in principle what you need, I think it's a bit overkill and perhaps not well suited for the purposes of virtualization, particularly if you depend on the virtualizations being stable and error free. If that's the case, overclocking may not be necessary or even a good...

    Thoughts on mid-range gaming build?

    Didn't you just shave off 50€ via the miscellaneous changes? Honestly, I think it would be worthwhile to sacrifice an HDD all together for just a 250GB+ SSD, and add an HDD later when the budget allows for it. 250GB still easily allows for Windows and several large programs (mine holds...

    Trying to put together a new PC - please help

    I think you are making a mistake with the CPU and SSD choices. Battlefield 4, for example, does not scale at all with more CPU threads, as seen here. In gaming, it is very rare to need something with as many threads as the 4790K. I seriously think you should reconsider. Meanwhile, SSD improves...

    My Assassin's Creed Franchise Review...so far.

    Unity is honestly pretty good if you're into slightly less handholding on missions and a little more stealth. Objectives tend to be a little more nebulous and the game guides you less often than previous AC games with explicit waypoints. The stealth system is also much less overpowered than in...

    Gaming Mouse Recommendations

    I really like the G502 as someone who grips their mouse with primarily fingertips. Nice scroll wheel that can adjust between quantized and free scroll, enough buttons to be very functional, adjustable weight, on the fly DPI adjust if you want that for whatever reason, switch between 3 preset...

    My first new computer build in years

    In addition to mfenn's comments on PSU choice, I wanted to chip in with a couple of facts on the matter: the average Platinum unit is absolutely not worthwhile, particularly if you are comparing products made by reputable manufacturers. For example, the Seasonc S12II at 520W is far less money...

    Building a light gaming HTPC around this motherboard

    What's wrong with towers? Obviously, cases designed to be HTPCs are generally less obtrusive, but there are plenty of discreet, quiet, and small towers (particularly mITX but mATX are pretty small as well in comparison to a full tower).

    Best gaming headset for the money

    7.1 is the standard theater/home theater speaker setup because those speakers need to play across a crowd of people. By necessity, you cannot use only two speakers because of how everyone is positioned differently. 7.1 delivers a "good enough" product across a wide space. However, headphones...

    New Desktop PC or New smartphone?

    I'm saying that either you can get the 6 now and take the risk of being limited, or you can wait a relatively short period of time for the next revision, which usually addresses whatever issues the first had.

    RAM question

    Most RAM these days run in dual channel, so it is somewhat faster to have 2 matching sticks, but just having one will not be significantly worse for day-to-day usage. Just remember that if you ever plan to get another stick, it's best to get the exact same stick as before (same brand, same...

    Best gaming headset for the money

    That is totally untrue. I'll put it to you this way: why try to simulate the way a theater plays sound with hardware when you can accurately simulate the way you actually hear sound? The problem is that you've never used a pair of headphones with good positional ability (such as the Creative...

    New Desktop PC or New smartphone?

    I would strongly disagree. The Snapdragon 805 and the Apple A8 are competitive in tests. And the 1GB of RAM has yet to hold any device yet. Even if apps begin to utilize 1GB+ of RAM, there will be a new generation in 12 months so it's nothing to worry about. Furthermore, a 64 bit OS has...

    Advice regarding upgrade options

    I think that for you, it makes the most sense to try and find someone with 4K or triple monitors and ask them about the experience. You can decide from there which one you'd rather have. From there you can decide if you need a GPU upgrade at all. Personally, I don't find 4K worthwhile. Nothing...

    Advice regarding upgrade options

    Clearly, you are a person who enjoys having the best--nothing wrong with that! But I'm not sure you derive much benefit from any upgrades at this point in time. 680s in SLI should be able to run Crysis 3 in 4K! However, if you really want to be able to run games in high quality across 3 1440p...

    HOw is this $600 Budget gaming pc?

    Are you plannign on overclocking? Because an i3 will outperform the FX-6X00 series in many games. Also, your resolution has an impact on how much any of this matters. Does that build also go way over your budget?

    [TechSpot] Hardware reliability stats from Puget Systems

    I'm not sure I agree on a purely numeric basis. The normal failure rate is improving: So if it's actually significantly pricier, Kingston's probably not too much better. At close prices though (a dollar or five) it's really a no brainer. What I find very interesting is that AMD and Nvidia have...

    Here goes (fortunately for us, I love headphones, so this is fun): As you may remember from before, the difference between DACs is minimal. You're mostly paying for appearance and extra functionality (like equalizing, XLR balanced output). Those are not at all necessary, and the functionality...

    The Official Kaveri Review Thread (A10-7850K, etc)

    If you cared about all that at once, you probably want an HTPC or a laptop. At least on the HTPC end, you face stiff competition from modern consoles (which are APUs from AMD, so it's not really a loss). In a laptop, I can see it being very useful, but the market is pretty used to seeing a WOW...

    How long do I have?

    I can tell you that if you are planning on building that system now, you are wasting a terrific amount of money, particularly on the PSU and motherboard. If you've already built the system, it's going to depend on exactly what you use it for.

    Apply a dot the size of a dried pea or rice grain to the center of the CPU and mount the fan. The tightening action will spread it evenly.

    build advice

    The real issue was probably the lack of an adequate amp from the Macbook to the headphones. The HD700 and HD800 from Senheisser need lots of power, and are very picky about which amps will work well. That, and the HD700 is famously terrible value due to overpowered highs that hurt ears...

    As I said before: generally speaking, a DAC/amp stack is already as good as you'll need in terms of audio resolution. The only reason you'd need TrueAudio (after some research) is for CPU expensive 3D sound calculations, but you can already get a good aurround sound implementation without a DSP...

    Here's the basics of it. When a sound file is on your computer, it exists as computer data--fundamentally, a series of 1s and 0s. It exists in discrete steps. However, sound is a continuous spectrum, so you need something that will convert from digital (discrete) form to analog (continuous)...
