    Im building a new pc and would like to get the cost of the machine down to 3k instead of 3.4. If not as close to as possible. I am going to stick with a 1440p monitor because I didn't find a good 4k one for the same price point. Any advice is appreciated. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZLnV3F

    I I am seeing read and write speeds in the 85 megabyte range however the activity monitor page still never shows write speeds of the equivalent amount as that program shows. no idea why

    I have been having issues with my iMac in terms of fusion drive performance within the machine. its the 2013 edition with the I5 and 16gb of ddr3 ram aswell as a 1tb fusion drive. When I opened up activity manager and looked at disk permanence it showed read and write speeds of 1gb and then one second later dropped down to the low kilobytes. I don't quite know what is going on. I mostly run music and do excel documents to do totals for the day as well as word. My cpu tends to run 90% idle and yet even with the el captain update, it still runs very slow. For such a recent machine i don't know why it is struggling so much. Any help would be much appreciated. Don't hate on the stupid apple product just help. thanks!

    So I have the slight problem. I have a 2012 27" iMac that runs osx yosemite (the newest version). I have an old mac book from 2008 (the good ol days) and have loaded the HDD onto ab external hard Drive. The mac book runs leopard. My cpu runs 98% idle and my hard rive is lucky if it sees read and write speeds of 1mb/s (normally 300kps up and down). I have 16gb of ddr3 and that is working fine. When I plug in the hard Drive the console reports constant crashing and failures on the external hard drive. I unplugged the external hardDrive that has my time machine backups from my 2008 mac book however the cpu and hard drive still struggle to run below the formentioned speeds. My iMac hdd still has 900GB+ of unused memory out of the 1tb originally. I get constant pop ups saying time machine back ups have failed and anytime I attempt to access anything from the old hdd on the external Hdd I get the spinning wheel of death. before finally 1 minute later it loads. Many tasks that run on my pc related top the OS use 0.0% of the cpu and take up at most 4 threads. All I want from the old HDD is the music I have on there, it totals weeks of music if played nonstop. What can I do to fix this problem? is the aformentioned problem with the Pc contributing to this or is this an unrelated problem . Im a pc person helping a friend so sorry for lack of basic apple knowledge. Thanks!

    Have a desktop, but for when I'm gaming on my shield, and we are on teamspeak I don't want to be sitting at my desk. So this seemed like a solid option

    I've found the mobile app a little finicky in my experience.

    Also does it run OK or it is stupid laggy?

    Was looking for a cheap little work\teamspeak computer and stumbled upon the HP streambook. Do we know of its possible to download and run teamspeak off it? Strictly as a client not as a host for the server or anything like thar.

    I am looking to build a cheap htpc. I already have a 2tb hdd and don't plan on adding anymore. I'm throwing in a r7260x but really just cause I have it lying around not because I really need it. Main use will be watching and downloading music and movies. Looking for a case,motherboard,preferably double direct 3 memory @8gb, and aa cpu. Gonna throw in a 212 air cooler to cool it. Help is much appreciated.

    I have thermal paste getting shipped aswell. However there is one program that I find on task manager that when I shut down cpu usage goes to80% and pc shuts down, but the cpu temps stay the same all the time 109f, I tried de clocking it it didn't help. I don't have the name of the program but it seems it happens anytime you open anything, leading me to believe it's not a virus

    So I'm trying to help my cousin fix his pc. It runs windows xp and when you log in it is really slow and cpu usage hovers between 5-0%, I went into bios and the cpu was running at 109f! It has the stock cooler for the dual core cpu it has in if which I will be replacing but im wondering what else may be a problem. It runs a r7260x and two 2 gb ddr2 ram sticks. It has a 1tb HDD and a 250gb HDD. If you try to load a downloaded video the computer restarts. Is it possible that this is a virus or a hardware issue? Cpu is an Intel core 2 duo e6750 that is running at stock clock of 2.66ghz. Help would be appreciated

  16. Mightyinvader
    great but people won't bother to read if it isn't part picker
  17. Mightyinvader
    I'd recommend partpicker.CA

    Why ask for help than refuse everyone who offers it?
  19. Mightyinvader
    I do see the benefit of skylake though
  20. Mightyinvader
    I might stick to one for now, certainly in your build I'd upgrade the cooler possibly the HDD but definitely gonna look at the 6600k
  21. Mightyinvader
    yes but I don't want to compromise on peripherals
  22. Mightyinvader
    don't want to have to cheap out on monitors o peripherals tho
  23. Mightyinvader
    rich kids man...
  24. Mightyinvader
    thanks those are some good tips definetly gonna need a better cooler, might even do water cooler if I have the budget, thanks for reminding me to check voltage lock
  25. Mightyinvader
    the extra 300 aint a huge deal, the highest I'd go is 3.5k but I'm also gonna wait for maybe some black Friday deals. Some reason they happen in canada
