Hey guys, long time no see. I just bought a set of secondhand Logitech Z-5500's, to replace my Z506's. Sounds great, got it hooked up over SPDIF to an Asus DGX. My headphones are also connected to the DGX, but with regular analog cables. I thought this would work fine: I'd just set the...

If you can spare another $5 you can get the HyperX Cloud: http://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Cloud-Gaming-Headset-KHX-H3CL/dp/B00JJNQG98/ If you prefer an open headset you can get the Qpad QH-85, which is basically the same as the Cloud (same OEM) but open. I have one of these and it's great. For...

I have a Qpad QH-85 myself, which is a rebranded, open, HyperX Cloud. I use an Asus Xonar DGX with it. It was ~$30 and it includes an amp and Dolby Headphone Virtual Surround, which is 7.1. It's a bit better than an onboard ALC1150 chip, but not by much. I haven't tried the virtual 7.1 with...

The base clock is 2.2GHz, under load it turbos up to 3.2GHz.

Right, forgot you're on a laptop. You can try checking when you're running a game (just Alt-Tab). Otherwise you could try some of the things mentioned in this topic to manually switch which GPU is being used: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1650873/display-intel-graphics-nvidia.html...

It should, yes. The system will share normal RAM with the GPU when needed. If you right-click the desktop and go to Screen Resolution, then Advanced Settings you should see a table stating the GPU's own VRAM (Dedicated Video Memory) and the maximum amount of normal RAM that the system will...

The GPU should start using DDR RAM automatically when it runs out of GDDR VRAM. Using DDR with a GPU is much slower than using GDDR though.

http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/promotions/4876?pcid=4872 The 2-CH Input Cable, for Z506 Speaker and the 4-CH Surround Sound Input Cable, for Z506 Speaker are the ones you're looking for I think.

Current retail is estimated between $800-1150 right now according to that page. Take 60-80% of that depending on the condition (in this case very good, as you say) and try to sell it for that. I'd try $650-700 for a start and see if people are interested at that price. If not, lower it to about...

A factory reset often helps. That clears the flash memory, which is where viruses usually reside. The downside is that you'll lose all your apps, pictures, videos, setting, everything.

It'll cause problems. Anti-virus programs work by doing things that may look like virus activity to another anti-virus program, like messing with or deleting files, infected files usually, but the other anti-virus program won't be able to make that distinction. Basically, you'll end up with two...
