  1. So I have my ROG Z-370H mobo and I'm planning on getting Corsair rgb ram, mouse pad, keyboards etc. But what I'm confused with is how I control all of it with the utility engine or Aura. Will I be able to change all components settings via Corsair Utility Engine or Aura?
  2. I've been looking to start a YouTube channel for gaming. I'm a noob when it comes to what I should look for in software. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  3. So I am trying to mount a secondary hard drive to my Dell Inspiron 7000 gaming laptop, but as you would expect there aren't any screws. Does anyone know how to find out what type of screw I will need? The slot is for a 2.5" hard drive.
  4. Take a look at the Corsair Spec Omega! It's the case I'm planning to use for my gaming PC. It's new and really nice looking.
  5. So I am confused about how keyboards are utilized for gaming. In fps or many other types of games, you can strafe or move at various speeds on console, but on PC if I wanted to slowly move around a corner instead of a full speed strafe how do you utilize the keyboard for that movement. Because as far as I can tell, when you push a key it is an instant full-speed input.Is there something I'm not thinking of?
  6. I'm sorry, could you explain? I didn't know there were switches I had to get in my keyboard.
  7. The statement that most Republicans don't support Net Neutrality is completely false. However saying that most Republican representative in the government do not support it is accurate. There have been polls where up to 71% of Republican civilians support it and 83% of Democrats do too. It's not a "people don't support it problem," it's a "the government doesn't care what we think of the topic problem."
  8. So I have this now but the Core i5 8600k doesn't come with a stock cpu cooler, what do you recommend?

  9. I'm new to the PC building community but I managed, with a little guidance to get this far in my first build. This is to me, my starting point for any upgrades I come to do in the future. Still working on it and when graphics cards get cheaper I'll be moving to a different card. It's for gaming and I'm trying to keep the computer itself wihin plus or minus $200 of $1,000. I plan on playing games like Stellaris, Total War, The Forest, and X3. What do you all think? Anything else I could do differently?

  10. What software or hardware does LTT use to show the heat at which a computer runs and the output in terms of performance?

    My First Build

    So I was wondering about case fans. Should I get any case fans for my build? I don't have too much experience as I am a first timer in the PC community but I was hoping someone could give me more insight! >this is for gaming purposes< PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel - Core i5-8400 2.8GHz 6-Core Processor ($201.88 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: ASRock - Z370M Pro4 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($121.98 @ Newegg) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($204.99 @ Best Buy) Storage: Crucial - MX300 275GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($89.89 @ OutletPC) Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.99 @ Newegg) Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1050 2GB DUAL Video Card ($194.99 @ Newegg Marketplace) Case: Corsair - SPEC-OMEGA ATX Mid Tower Case ($99.99 @ Corsair) Power Supply: Corsair - CX (2017) 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($28.98 @ Newegg) Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit ($89.89 @ OutletPC) Monitor: Asus - VG248QE 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz Monitor ($253.99 @ SuperBiiz) Keyboard: Corsair - K65 RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard ($79.95 @ Amazon) Mouse: Logitech - G900 CHAOS SPECTRUM Wireless Optical Mouse ($84.99 @ Best Buy) Total: $1511.51 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2018-01-24 19:41 EST-0500
  12. Sorry I'm still new to most of this. I never purchase till I'm 100% certain though, and I never buy all at once. This will probably change a whole lot as time goes one. It'll take a year to get all the parts and I'm only buying the case right now.
  13. It's for gaming! Also do you think I'll need any case fans or should it be good the way it is?
  14. Hello all! I have been working and ding research, checking reviews etc. This is what I've come up with for a gaming PC that isn't too unbelievably pricey. Of course my lists non-essential hardware such as monitors. so it comes out at about $1,300. Is there anything I could get differently to save money or get more power out of it without spending more? Also is there anything missing that I should also lookout for? Any suggestions would be amazing!

  15. I'm seeing the different amount of bays both 2.5 and 3.5, can anyone explain these to me?
  16. I checked it out but apparently there have been reports of hardware disconnecting from the frame. I don't take it too seriously because maybe they just failed to install properly.
  17. $100 give or take a little, I want to spend mostly on hardware.
  18. Correction, a case that will also not break bank lol. Thank you for the suggestion.
  19. I'm new to the PC building community and I would like to start by finding a case that is not only cool looking but can suit all my gaming needs along with plenty of space for future and better upgrades to hardware. Any suggestions?
  20. Hello all! I've been looking to build a gaming PC to replace my unwanted consoles!(The dream of any console owner) However for those who are inexperienced and unfamiliar with the field (me included) it can be very intimidating! You can ask for builds and budgets all you want but if you don't know what you are really doing and what individual pieces and parts may do it can turn you away from the field. I was referred to LTT as a source to learn the basics but I am wondering if anyone could link me some really useful videos that can explain the basics of building a computer and what each part is generally used for. Thanks all!
