[MMO] World of Warships

To play as the Arpeggio of Blue Steel anime ships you need to go into your Port and select a different Port location. To do so is rather simple. In the Upper Left corner you should see a small blue square with a white anchor. When you mouse over it you will see a message "Select Port" appear...

Delid 4770K...best thermal paste?

Coollaboratory Liquid Pro works well but you have to be careful applying it. It is basically liquid metal and just a small, small amount is necessary. There are a few videos online that show people applying it and a thread here on the forums where someone took pictures of using it on their CPU...

Normal temperatures for a C2D laptop?

I have a similar Laptop (HP Pavilion HDX16 1140US) that I've used since 2009 for both work and gaming. It does tend to get hot, but I have found three solutions for keeping it running at a more acceptable temperature. 1.) Blowout the dust and dirt from the vent areas, especially where the...

I've looked at the Dell U2713HM, as well as a few of Dell's Ultrasharp 24" monitors. I was a little concerned by the 8ms GTG, but most reviews seem to say that they are great monitors despite that.
