Over the past few years, more and more computer builders have included custom lighting effects to make their computers stand out from the crowd. The generic term we use for this is ‘RGB’, meaning red, green, and blue lighting. Have you built a computer / PC and incorporated RGB within ...
Yes, I tried this, both connecting the LED Cable to the Argb Controller (Coolermaster) and to a argb Hub (Republic of Gaming). If you're not using the rgb controller built into the case, then none of them will have any control by the LED button. The 2 pin header you have th...
Thermal paste:You need to apply this paste to your CPU before attaching the cooler (more on that below). However, some coolers (such as the Thermaltake 360 RGB I bought for my build) already have some thermal paste applied. Assemble your new PC Now that you’ve purchased the components, ...
Where youinstall a M.2 SSD. You can't actually see the slot as it's hidden underneath the cover, which is used to protect the drive and help keep it cool. This board has multiple M.2 slots, and if you're installing just the 1 M.2 drive then you should useuse the top slot. D...
Now I want to build this project from VS2017 using VS2008 toolset. Because VS2017 offers much cooler features. I have gone through this (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/stuck-on-an-older-toolset-version-move-to-visual-studio-2015-without-upgrading-your-toolset/) guide. But couldn...

With all this being said, I use a grounded mat that I put everything on, and just occasionally touch the mat, or maintain constant contact with it. The wrist strap is not really worn. "It pays to keep an open mind, but not so open your brain falls out." - Carl Sagan. ...
Clean off the residual goo before installing the new CPU cooler. You’ll probably see some thermal paste residue on the top surface of the CPU. This needs to be cleaned off to ensure your new AIO cooler pump has a strong thermal contact with the CPU. For cleaning, yo...
LEDs and other aesthetics: some case fans use the power supplied to the fan motor to also light up LEDs, either in a single color or in amulti-colored RGB array. These look cool---especially whencoupled with a "tricked out" overall build---but don't add or detract from performance in...
