    What's the best setup you guys have with the HyperX Cloud 2 headset in combo with the HyperX Quadcast mic? (PC) I have my headset plugged in my mic because i like to have the feedback from my mic into my headset. *But I don't like that I can't physically adjust the volume (game volume / teammate audio / etc.) I don't want to have the extra cables (adding the headset sound card) and plugging both separately into my PC. I would like to have an external audio interface but I didn't find anything compatible with what I have. Any suggestions?

    So i changed my motherboard to an: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ and everything works like a charm. Still have no idea why it didn't work. At least my system works perfectly but still have no idea why my motherboard "Worked" but didn't allow me to get any signal.. ? Weird, Thanks for all the support & comments!

    @The Spectator So finally I changed my motherboard to an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ and everything works like a charm, no problem at all. Still have no idea what the problem was or how to fix it.. at least my system works now but it blows because I thought that my GPU was broken, so I bought another one (Facebook Market Place).
  4. Sander Van Dam
    Yeah that's the only thing left; I've tried everything else.

    @Semper Thing is.. I've got an old system laying around and I'm trying to sell it. I already got someone who's interested but can't sell him an pc that doesn't boot (no signal). I have to change the motherboard.. I think this one will work? -ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+

    Yeah pretty much @minibois Because everything is working but I'm not getting any signal. Only thing that I have to change is the Motherboard. Trying to buy local (facebook Market place) so it doesn't take as long to get here. Anything I should be looking for..?

    Yeah I bought the computer from someone and it worked perfectly, but I still don't understand why I'm not getting any signal. spec: processor: AMD FD6300WM6KHK motherboard: M5A781-MLX-PLUS graphics card: GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 960 mini - GEFORCE GTX 760 power supply: ANTEC 620w hard drive: SEAGATE 1TB HDD cpu fan: DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400

    So i have an M5A781-MLX-PLUS motherboard with an Gigabyte Gtx 960 mini and it doesn't do anything. Everything is plugged in, everything turns on but I still have no signal. Thought that my GPU was cooked (even if the fans turned on) so i bought another gpu (Gefore Gtx 760) and it does the same thing. Fans go off, everything is turned on but still no signal. Tried some troubleshooting but now I'm completely clueless. Taken the OIM battery out from the motherboard (re setting the BIOS) and it didn't help... Really don't want to buy another motherboard... Anyone got any tips? Thanks!

    hmmm... okay. Well that is a huge pain. Yeah I've been looking out on where to download my stuff but I really just wanted to change from SSD to HDD. Thanks

    So I have 2 storage devices an 2T HDD and a 120gb SSD in my rig. When I built the PC I of course installed windows on my SSD for faster boot time and what not, but now my pc used my SSD as my primary storage source. Of course I want to keep my "important files (windows and everything attached to it)" to stay on it. How do I make my HDD the primary storage device without messing everything up? So, 1- make hdd primary device on my computer (file downloads and such) 2- transfer documents from sdd to hdd + keep windows and steam games on ssd for faster boot times and load up times Much help needed, Thanks

    So I have a HyperX headset but I have some issues with it, (things that I would have liked to be on the Headset) I can't change the volume of my game and of my chat separately, Is there an audio interface that I could add to my setup to adjust more the audio without going through my settings? I know that my headset has an USB connection to my pc and not an audio cable (XLR) settings or macros? any tips would really help, highly appreciated ^^
  13. Sander Van Dam
    dawm.. okay thanks I'll look into that!

    Hey guys, so I just build a new system a few weeks ago and it goes great, went to open a new word document and the only option that I have is WordPad, It's kinda the same but I would prefer to use Word. Anyone could help? Don't know why it doesn't even let me open it ( not in windows bar ) and all my other files ( that i transfered from another pc ) are all WordPad files now? Shot in the dark here* Bought my product key, but doesn't that usually come with office (word, powepoint and such.) Like I looked around, but on my other PC I didn't have to pay memberships or anything like that. Help. Thanks guys,

    Hey guys so I bought an MSI OPTIX MAG241C and it doesn't work. I plugged it into my motherboard with an display port and even an HDMI cable and still no signal. I know the screen works because I plugged it in as an second monitor on my pc and it works great. I know I shouldn't plug it in my Motherboard and instead my GPU - but my package was delayed and I still dont have one. I just build my pc, any cables that I should be looking for? all the cables are plugged in and ready to go... But back to my screen.. any advice - tips - help? Thanks

  20. Sander Van Dam
    have a link for those monitors? trying to find them on PPP and isn't in the list, looked around and only found UK linksm not really usefull for CA. Got any others options then - that are in the PPP site - library? ( PcPartPicker)
  21. Sander Van Dam
    yeah I know, its more 1 for gaming + 1 side task and while working I can use both, that's why. Not planning on splitting my game into 2 @fluxdeity
  22. Sander Van Dam
    Have any model in mind? And i won’t have any problems hooking them up?

    @ManosMax13 @fasauceome .. so how much would I have to spend more for bigger screens? Like the whole setup at this point, 27 inch would be great, but don’t want to go overboard : it’s always so easy to go over budget because there’s always a better piece for a bit more money.. help is 1,800$ a better option?
  24. Sander Van Dam
    Thanks guys really appreciate it!! @ManosMax13 im just afraid that the 22 inch monitors will be to small. Am I wrong? would it be a better to spend just a bit more money for bigger and maybe better monitors? Like I’m already spending money .. don’t want anything crazy, but wouldn’t be 2 x (24 to 27 inches) better?

    Hey guys, so I’ve been looking for months now a mid range gaming pc and accessories ( like 2 monitors and what not ). I have an 1,500$ CAD budget and would like to keep it under. I’ve been looking everywhere and now I’m just blasted with information. I don’t get ripped off of big brand stores ( BestBuy and ++ ) and not really getting my moneys worth in low quality components. What i would do with the pc: -game and maybe entering the stream community games like: B04 / LOL / WOW and much more ( minimum: 60fps? ) I don’t have a huge preference between Intel or AMD, Monitors: I “need” 2, not only for gaming but also school and work efficiency. I already have a pretty good keyboard and mouse so no money spend towards those 2 So if you guys have any builds to show me I’m open minded and ready to get building. Thanks!!
