    Headset for PS4 and PC

    What's up guys, as the title says, I'm after a headset to use on my PS4 and PC. I'm not after a microphone really, I've got a dedicated microphone, although I don't mind if it comes with one. I've been looking at the Astro A40's, but to switch between the two platforms, I think I'd have to...

    Corsair Utility Engine Lighting

    Hey guys, had my Corsair K65 RGB for a while now, and have the lighting set to a custom static green which I'm happy with. The issue is, every time I boot up the pc, the keyboard remains in the stock red colour with the 'WASD' and arrow key remaining white, until about 30 seconds after I log in...

    AKG K702 or Sennheiser PC363D

    Hi guys, built a system recently and am in need of a headset/pair of headphones, predominantly for gaming. My motherboard's an X99 Deluxe, I haven't got a soundcard so I'll be using onboard sound for the meantime. I'll be buying a Blue Yeti microphone to pair with either driver, could just do...

    Corsair AF140 installation issue

    Hey guys, built my first pc a while back and am very pleased with the result. I've got an issue though, I've got 2 Corsair AF140 Quiet Editions as front intakes, 2 SP120'S on my H105 on the ceiling rad, and an AF140 Quiet as a rear exhaust.

    Build advice

    Hey guys, thought I'd ask for some advice regarding my first build, my last system was a pre-built one but it died on me a few years back, and I've been stuck using a knackered 2007 Dell laptop which can't running anything since. This time I'm going to build my own, I've held off for a long time...
