    seeking recommendation for a 2.1 PC setup with very good bass

    Thanks all for the responses. I have came to a conclusion and took action. In the end, I decided to keep my current pc speaker setup, and instead focused on getting a sound system for my living room TV. I went with the Bose 700 series soundbar and subwoofer. It sounds fantastic. I went over...

    seeking recommendation for a 2.1 PC setup with very good bass

    I have been reading this thread, checking out all the suggestions. I was just doing it silently. yes, the Z625 is rated at 200rms/400max. But if i had to compare it to subs from the trunk of my car in my early years (90's), Id have to say it sounds as impressive as an average 10" sub with 50...

    seeking recommendation for a 2.1 PC setup with very good bass

    Hi, I currently use Logitech Z625 2.1 speaker setup and while it sounds nice, the sub seems to be lacking in power for what I am after. Do they make a 2.1 setup with a bigger, more powerful sub woofer that is actually worth the money? (budget up to us750ish)

    yes, there was a previous version my rig could never get installed, for about the last year, i would have to force it to an earlier version for a week or two, but win10 has forced updates :(, so every week or two it would try that one version again, only to fail. but this crash happened...

    Gaming benchmarks: GTX 780 and GTX 970 tested in 2018

    good stuff! same can be said for CPU's for real world performance. mine is pretty old now, 6+ years? and still kicking up dirt. although i have upgraded my GPU twice since this build I have was created, all else still original, except for monitor, old one died and got replaced with a ASUS 4k.

    Graphene Processors

    interesting video lol, that stuff is so far beyond my comprehension level that i find parts to be unbelievable, mainly the "tapping into" parallel universes. when he said we could steal their resources, i wonder if he thought of the consequences. if it is a parallel universe, and we could...

    3Dmark Time Spy - Post your scores!

    seems my cpu is getting quite dated ;/ will consider upgrading in the future for sure. all stock clocks, ran bench due to installing the new 1080, should have ran it with my old titan beforehand to compare the differences.
