So I've had my HyperX Cloud IIs for a while now and I am getting tired with whenever I talk, I hear my voice back about half a second after, and it is disorienting like a speech jammer. I am using the "Listen to this device" feature in Windows and I would like to know if there is a way to reduce this lag between me speaking and hearing myself. Thanks!

So my problem is that I guessing some program is not letting my PC shut down, only when I press the shut down button in the start menu, it goes to the blue screen saying "Shutting Down...", and staying there until it restarts 10 minutes later (even though I said SHUT DOWN) My PCPP link is below for the specs, but could this be some type of rogue program? I have checked for viruses with RegCure Pro and nothing has shown up. Thanks!

Why doesn't NVIDIA make dual GPU cards anymore? A dual GTX 1080 or 1080Ti would be a hell of a card.

So I have had the problem of having all programs I have used detecting my 6600k's speed incorrectly. It always reads as 3.5GHz, but I am overclocked to 4.5GHz. Thanks!

I currently have 32GB of HyperX Fury DDR4 with an XMP profile of 2400MHz, but can I increase it to, say, 2666 or higher? The default maximum frequency out of the box is 2400MHz. Thanks!

I originally used a Mac to transfer all of my music in iTunes to my phone, but now I want to transfer the library to my PC so I don't have to go back and forth to get music onto my phone. What is a good way to do this? ?'? ?????? ?? ??? ???? ?? ?????? ?? ??????. Thank you.

Just got it built, but when I applied some BIOS tweaks and saved and exited, the screen went black, and the PC didn't restart. Gave it over a minute to try to do something, nothing. Tried resetting CMOS with the button, took out the battery, and unplugged. The rig has 2 PSUs. All other components work fine. The keyboard and mouse haven't powered on since the first boot. Thank you. No parts got to any temps above 50C while inside the BIOS. Z400 Motherboard Proprietary Z400 PSU Antec 620w PSU Xeon x5670 GTX 770 Thanks!

I just cleaned my Strafe RGB (w/ blues) and now my keyboard is acting weird. Scroll Lock and F3 cannot be detected, and scroll lock randomly turns on and off. I took the keys off gently, and made pretty sure that the caps were dry before I put them back on. Is there a good fix for this? Thanks!

So I'm going to get a 144Hz 1080p monitor for Christmas and I'm wondering about one for under $200 but if my budget is high enough, one under $300. WHAT I WANT: -Mostly black, non-gamery -Semi-glossy screen coating -144Hz -1080p - ~1ms GTG -Basic monitor adjustments (Height, Swivel, etc.) -23" - 24" So here are the two I am aware of right now: UNDER $300: ASUS MG248Q   UNDER $200: https://www.monitornerds.com/acer-xf240h-review So what's the big difference between these monitors?

So I am building a new PC and I want to get a better air cooler for my CPU than my Hyper 212 EVO, and I have a height clearance of 160mm. I do not want something ugly like a beige noctua cooler, and preferably black fans. thanks!

It is weird, because when I performed 3DMark Firestrike, I achieved 1,303MHz core clock on my GTX 760 SC ACX 2GB (EVGA) http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8205886 As stated on the page about my GPU, it usually only stays around 1072MHz, only going up to 1137MHz... Weird. http://www.evga.com/Products/Specs/GPU.aspx?pn=D34D9B88-00D7-4F24-A92D-76ECD7BB6346 I have checked on GPU-Z, and My ASIC quality is 76.2%. Note: I have not overclocked it, as I have tried and my PC only crashes no matter what I do.

So, I finally got my NZXT Hue+, and installed the CAM software, and I have noticed that when running most games that I used to be able to run 60fps, I run at about 30fps, maybe 40 if lucky (Such as Arma 3). I am not perfectly sure if it is CAM software, but I have not installed any software at all since then. Thanks!

So, I hosted a poll for about a week, which I would say that I would release results after 200 responses were hit, and now we have the results. Here are the results...

At least once a week i will see a post complaining about how somebody did not use the automatic text color. Instead of requiring other users to change their posts, why don't you guys use a browser extension? I use the dark reader extention on chrome and love it. I can set the contrast, brightness, grey scale / sepia values, font, and what sites to exclude. Come, download it, stop complaining, and welcome the dark side.

I'm going to replace 4x140mm front and top fans, and a single rear 120mm. (Sorry for the monumental size) The fans in here are decent. I got the case third or fourth hand (probably), and it's still immaculate. I'm not interested in crappy $4.99 CM fans, and I'm also not too fond of the idea of dropping a hundred bucks on fan-shway (fancy) Noctua fans. I didn't want to just pick a random $12.99 fan and go with it so I wanted to ask for your guys' opinion.
