What effect will mixing a single stick and two dual channel sticks have one performance? (Assuming they're the same model.) I mean Corsair didn't ask for PSU cables back, and I've read some accounts of people being allowed to just send in the faulty stick, so just curious about how I might deal with a similar situation here.

Last night I very suddenly started getting blue screens and after a couple of hours I isolated the problem to one of my RAM sticks. I have G.Skill Sniper Series 2x4GB. So I sent in an RMA request, and I have a couple of questions about what to do now: Will I be required to return both sticks of RAM before receiving a replacement? Can I request to keep the working one? I can't be without a computer for the duration of the RMA. Will they send back another 2 sticks of RAM? If so, what should I do with the old one? I would have 12GB then, but it's dual channel so I'm not sure if I should keep the old stick and benefit from more RAM or if it will be slower and not worth it? Is using the old stick as a RAM drive or something a possibility? I would like to hear some recommendations if you guys have any. Thank you all in advance!

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you!

I have a Dell ST2010, and in the screen resolution settings it says 1600x900 (recommended). However, it also goes up to 1080p and 3840x2160, although words and icons get smaller. Is it okay for me to run it at 1080p? Is there a better way than the control panels "Make text and other items larger or smaller" to scale the UI? It's still a bit blurry.

Thank you! I'll add those things to the list.

I know they come together, that's fine, and I'm willing to do the work myself rather than pay so much for the repair. If I don't do it myself it's not going to get done, so.

A few months ago my mother broke dropped her new LG G2, breaking the screen. Aside from the cracks, it still shows a clear picture, but the touch functionality is completely broken. Looking into the problem, I figure that the digitizer is broken, and I called LG to see about repairs. I don't have the $100-$150 to send it in for a repair from the manufacturer, so I'm looking at replacement screens on Amazon so I can do it myself. The problem is, the prices vary from anywhere around $15 all the way up 10 $100+. Everything has mixed reviews. I want to get a quality replacement, but I don't want to spend an unnecessary amount in the process. What would you guys consider a fair price for a DIY screen replacement? I currently have my eye on this one. It's in the upper range of my budget, but it seems to have fairly positive reviews along with everything I'll need to do this. Are there any better options?

I like the new logo, but I like the old one better. I feel like the new Corsair "Gaming" name might drive away a more professional consumer who is looking for quality over gimmicks and unnecessary features.

I found LinusTechTips while I was searching for information on how to build a PC, and I really wanted to have a deeper understanding of the way it all worked together rather than just tossing parts into the right places and hoping for the best. You guys have helped me so much with that. I watch your videos daily, and I can truly say that I appreciate how much I've learned from your videos. Also, the LinusTechTips forum has the most helpful, most responsive community I've ever seen in terms of PC related things, and it's my go to place when I need some more specific information on an issue I'm having. I also love the way the quality of your videos keeps increasing, and the number of interesting things you guys have been doing lately. Thank you so much for everything, and here's hoping for another million subscribers!

@Faceman Oooohhhh, okay. So put that back to default? Also, I'm seeing no mention of Gigabyte boards having an adaptive/manual option in the BIOS, but here they say it only has adaptive in the form of an offset voltage option, which I left at +0. Does that mean adaptive is off?

Is cache one of the things I mentioned in the first post? I don't think I changed anything labelled cache on purpose. Thanks for the guides, I'll take a look!

Oh, okay. I'm going to try a few more tests and see what happens, if they're successful I'll overclock a bit more later. I would still like some more insight, but for now it seems relatively stable.

I don't think being a dud is all there is to it, since it can run one test and not the other...

I saw some things about that, but I can't find that setting in the voltage settings of Gigabyte's BIOS... Temperatures mainly hovered around 65-70 degrees, max was 87.

Oh yeah, I meant to put that. It's a Hyper 212 Evo.
