Not all of them are needed, I usually only download a couple of the things usually. Read the the guide down in my signature if you want, it was written for the sole purpose of getting new builders up and running after a fresh Windows install asap.

Ahhh ok, cool. Thanks! 

Disablingn/enabling vsync in game doesnt disable gsync, but it tells the Nvidia driver what to do when the framerates is higher then gsync/your monitor supports.
If you enable vsync in game, gsync will still work but if your fps goes >144 it will vsync (block the application untill the monitor is ready).

On June 28, 2016 the Linus Media Group domain registrar account was compromised.
 
The exact methodology of the "hack" won't be disclosed for obvious reasons, but I can assure you that despite any claims to the contrary, the appropriate safeguards were in place on our side, and as I type this Yvonne is having a very heated phone discussion with the 3rd party responsible for the breach.
 
Anyway, the thing most of you are probably wondering about right now is what this means for your forum account or personal information, and the answer is very simple:
 
NOTHING.
 
The "hacker" simply changed the DNS settings in the dashboard and did not at any time have access to the linustechtips.com server. Any claims of a database dump are categorically false.
 
The compromised accounts - including Twitter - have been restored.
 
I hope this clears things up.

Valve claims that only 9.4% of current gaming rigs are ready for VR... but as that number is based on the results of the Steam Hardware Survey, we don't think that it paints an accurate picture of the proportion of gaming PCs that are ready for VR that people actually intend to use for VR gaming.

So, being a part of this awesome forum community full of enthusiasts, we decided to see if we could paint a more accurate picture of the current state of the "VR for PC" market.


If you plan on using your gaming PC for VR, please take part in this test. Run the SteamVR Performance Test that Valve currently has available (through steam, you can find it at this link), and once you have your results, please do the following:

1. Comment below listing the following specs of your PC:
Rig name 
Cpu
Gpu
Ram
Score

2. Add a screenshot of your SteamVR Performance Test results.

3. Answer the poll question in this thread.


And that is all we need! Thanks so much for taking part in this fun little survey - let's see how many of you are truly ready for VR gaming!


If you thought this was cool and want to take part in another fun survey that we have here on the forum, check out @Jumper118's Cinebench R15 thread here.

It makes no difference where NMM is installed. The first time you start it up, it'll search your computer for where the games are located (or you can point it to your games directory). If you have plenty of SSD storage, install it there because it will load faster. Otherwise just put it on your mechanical drive

I would really suggest to use ModOrganiser over NMM. You don't get your mods irreversably mixed into each other, overwriting each other's files that way.
 
Putting THAT on an SSD will be faster since it stores all the mods in it's folder structure. NMM itself doesn't store any game files. it just replaces the files in your skyrim/fallout/oblivion/whatever folder, so it won't be effected much by the drive.

A USB based device is doing all the processing outwith the PC (i.e. digital-to-analogue conversion, amplification etc). If you want to use the full features of headset, this would be the way to go.
 
3.5mm connection is just using mostly/entirely on-board processing (i.e. integrated motherboard chip or soundcard) and pretty much uses the headphones as an output device only i.e. will bypass certain /most features of the headset.

hell yeah! I am still trying to figure out cloning tho.. But on my HDD the boot time was like 2-3 minutes but now its just 1 min 30

Hey there, 
 
So I have my rig that I built in the beginning of 2013 and I've upgraded a few parts since then, mainly the GPU and PSU. 
I'm thinking of having water cooling in my next build but probably not for this one.
 
I'm in the mind of switching out my fans for Noctua for more fluid airflow, longevity, and performance.  
I have the Cooler Master HAF 912 case and the Cooler Master 212Plus CPU cooler. At mostly idle(just Chrome and Intel ETU up), the CPU sits at around 38C.(During winter-ish times, at least)
 
I want to replace the back, front, and side fans. All of which are stock except the side which is a 120 CoolerMaster fan from a couple years ago. I would like to go all out and have a fan at every possible place but my Gigabyte GA-Z68-UD3H-B3 motherboard only has 4 fan headers including the CPU cooler fan, and I'm using them all. I could get two 200mm fans and have one on the top vent and the other replacing the 120mm front fan. I wouldn't have the 120mm side panel fan then if I put a fan(either 120 or 200mm) up top.
Also, is it possible to get a Noctua or other third party 120mm fan that would clip onto the Hyper 212 Plus cooler or would upgrading that just mean to get a new CPU cooler??
 
What do you suggest?  Should I keep my current setup of fans with the upgrade or change it up a bit for different airflow?
The more I think about this, the more possibilities come up. Two up front, two on top, same config, one big for top and front..
 
Also, I'm a bit confused with positive and negative and push/pull pressure and airflow, could someone please explain what that is and how it effects the air flow and how to best optimize for it?
 
What type/model of Noctua fans should I be looking for?  I prefer performance over noise. 
 
Thanks a bunch!

So little that the task manager reports up to 4% cpu usage while downloading on my CPU. (Though it was mostly at 0~1%)
But really, it's not noticeable. I've often let it run in the background while gaming and haven't noticed any problem.

Step 1: Spend all the time creating your character.
Step 2: Do a few main quests.
Step 3: Mod the living shit of of the game.
Step 4: Figure out why your game keeps crashing.
Step 5: Fix all the mods of the game.
Step 6: Play the game for the next few hours.
Step 7: Close the game and never touch it again for the next few months
 
Rinse and repeat. 

Letting someone who can't figure out which button is an ad and which is the real download use my computer.

Alright thanks for all your help!
 I'll look into a wireless bridge. 
Hopefully the ethernet port on my motherboard will be fine and not cause issues..
I'll message you again if things go awry. 

I'm still getting high latency but no audio problems and regular game performance.
Taking the card out and disabling it seems to have helped the System Interrupts problem of taking up all of Core 1 in my CPU after sleep. As far as I can tell, nothing irregular has happened with boot, reboot, and sleep/wake cycle.
Thanks a bunch for helping me figure this out!  
 
Now I just gotta think of how to get internet on my PC again..
