I agree, I intentionally purchased a higher end motherboard to better support zen 2 if and when I upgrade. I figured what I have now can more than suffice for the time being.

Hey all, I recently got back into the pc game a couple of months ago, and I built my 2nd complete rig. Specs are updated in profile, but I originally had a ryzen 5 2600 and a gtx 1070 and I loved it. But I managed to get an insane deal on a titan X Pascal for under $350, and it performs fantastic. Am I bottlenecking this gpu with my current cpu? If so, how much? What tier processor would you recommend to get the most out of my titan? Thanks

THANK YOU, I was using the ^ to use exponets. Thank you.

Hello, I have a really simple problem im looking to solve, but am having the darnedest time figuring out. The problem is this: The method 'energy' should evaluate the formula E = mc^2, where the variables 'm' and 'c' are passed in as parameters and E (energy) is the return value. The solution parameter is listed as : def energy(m, c): return Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! I'm looking to get into another pair of headphones! I currently own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50xs and some nice ear phones. However, I've been wanting a pair of open back headphones for quite some time now since I've been into quality audio equipment. I'm looking at the Sennheiser HD600 and 650s currently as I can get them for less the 250. What are your thoughts on them? I've always loved Audi Technicas products but I've heard too many good things about the Sennheisers. Please leave any other suggestions as well! Also, I am not against buying used! Budget is less than 300. Thanks!

Hello, I am currently using a OnePlus 3 and I absolutely love the phone. It's extremely beat up and the camera went to hell but it's by far the best phone I've ever had. I really like the 5t and reviewers seem to as well. Is it worth the upgrade from the 3? Thanks!

Back in 6th grade, I decided to build myself my first PC. I picked up an FX-6100 and a Radeon 7950. I was on a child's budget and at the time, it was the best option I felt there was. Since then, I picked up a "broken" GTX 970 for $20, and just purchased an Asus PB287Q 4K monitor because I do frequent productivity work. I play games a little more than occasionally, and I knew going in that I wasn't going to be able to play demanding games at 4k. I had to do some pretty extensive overclocking on the FX processor to even run games like Skyrim at 1080p on high at above 50fps. I know the 6100 is holding the 970 back, but how much so? The new Ryzen 7 processors intrigue me due to their thread count which would definitely help me in editing and CAD work. In terms of strictly gaming, how much performance can I expect to gain from upgrading to a Ryzen 5 1600x, or an Intel i5 7600k? Thanks!

Heres some background. I just purchased myself a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones, they sound absolutely fantastic. But I have a Dilemma. I plug these Bad boys into my computer either by using the headphone jack on my Logitech z506 speakers, or by the front USB. They get plenty loud, but there is noticeable noise at low volumes or when nothing is playing. I figured its just the crappy sound processor on my motherboard, so I need a solution. I am not in need of an amp for these because they get plenty loud already, but I need something to put on my desk to plug these things into since my PC is tucked underneath my desk. I am not looking to spend a bunch of money, I just want to get rid of the noise and maybe get a minor sound quality increase. The Behringer UM2 Audio interface looks like it may be what I need, but I am not sure. Feel free to leave any other suggestions. Thanks lads, Joey

Hey guys, I am looking to invest in a solid pair of headphones for music and using on the PC. This post is not to help me with what headphone to choose, but what I need to power them. The headphones I am considering are the Audio Technica ATH-m50x and the Sennheiser HD 598's. So, I know these arent the most powerful headphones in terms of impedance, but I need something to put on my desk to carry the audio signal. I could just buy an Audio pass through but I would rather purchase something that would make my headphones sound much better. I am deathly confused on what to buy. I am not sure if you buy a DAC and AMP, or only one of them, or even a combo, I have no idea. All I want to do is plug in headphones and control them, and nothing else. I would appreciate help on what I need. In terms of budget, I also am clueless as to what gives the most bang for the buck, feel free to leave suggestions. Thanks Lads, Alistair

I have a gigabyte GA-970A-D3

Hey guys, I am currently running a single Radeon 7950, and a amd fx 6100 @ 4.7ghz. My plan is to add a 2nd 7950 to my build. Will it bottleneck 2 7950's in games like BF4 and GTA V. Thanks!

Hello, I currently have a Radeon 7950, and I want to upgrade. I am planning to get a 4k monitor also. So i need help deciding either to purchase another 7950, or get something else. I'd like to buy used. Reccomend something that can play games at medium or more settings at 4k. Thanks

You are completely Right about my GPU being underpowered. I play a lot of L4D2, which I am pretty sure I can run at 4k, but my GPU is going to be my next upgrade. Thanks!

Hello, I am currently in a situation in which I am going to buy a 4k display. I am pretty sure the my Radeon 7950 only has HDMI 1.4, so it cannot display 4k @60hz, but, my GPU has 2 mini display port connectors which do support 4k @ 60hz, almost all 4k monitors come with displayports on them, but I am also looking at some 4k TV's in which most do not. The 4k TV's I am looking at come with HDMI 2.0 though. So my question is, If I buy a mini displayport to HDMI adapter, will I be able to get 4k @ 60hz, Thanks!

I am in a predicament in which I can buy a used i7 4820k for $229.99, which is the same price as the i5 4690k new. I know the 4820k is a generation behind, but I do not want to upgrade to DDR4 Ram in which the x99 uses, which would put me over budget. Thanks

Hello, Lately I have been noticing with my XFX Radeon 7950 that the temperatures have been getting much toastier than they have been before. During a typical Battlefield 4 game, it reaches 77*C, I worry a little because a few months ago, it was running around 60*C. I have taken the card out and cleaned out all of the dust and that has not affected anything. The Card has a pretty beefy cooler with 2 fans, and i recently installed a 200mm side panel fan blowing directly onto the card. Could it just be because the card is getting older? The card is at stock settings @ 925MHz on the core and 1250 on the memory, I would like to overclock it a little but I fear the temperatures will get way to high. Thanks

Thanks Bro, I was scared there for a minute

Hey, today, i just picked up an Acer 4k dispay. I have a question i should have asked before i bought it, but it was at such an insane price I had to pick it up because it was the last one. The question ragards my Radeon 7950 and its 2x mini display port connectors. The monitor I just purchased has a Display port connector and a Mini Display port connector. MY GPU only has 2x mini display port connectors. So my question is, does my GPU's mini display port version support 4k @ 60hz? Thanks

I need help quick. I currently live with my parents, and I have my computer in my room. For some reason, every time I log on to my computer, there is a different 18+ wallpaper on both my monitors. This is the only computer in the house and my parents use it sometimes. Also, suspicous videos appear in my downloads. I am trying to figure out if i have a virus, or my parents just have a terrible sense of humour. Thanks!!!

Hello everyone, as you can see from my PC specs, my system is getting older and I am starting to have a lot of troubles with my system. I've tried many fixes for my problem but none of them are working and my last resort is to just re-install windows, which is not something I want to do unless I am upgrading. I really still enjoy my graphics card and it performs very well for me still. All I am looking to upgrade is my CPU and Motherboard. Because I might just pick up a used 7950 to pair with the one I have now. But that aside. I am requesting help on what to get. I play a lot of AAA Titles and play on a 1080p monitor in which the near future i might want to upgrade to 4k. I dont do much video editing, but i do crack open Photoshop and do a lot of multitasking. I am do not want to go AMD because that company is turning into a ****Hole and havent released crap since the 6100. So intel options only please, my budget is no more than 400$, Also, i am not completely against going used or a last gen processor, so leave those too. Thanks!

Hey, I've had this PC for a couple years now and have done some little Overclocking since then, but nothing too major. I recently Acquired a Swifttech H220-X to cool my AMD FX 6100 that I plan on upgrading later. But I do have a few questions that I am still Kind of Confused About. 1. What CPU Temperature monitor to trust?- I have always used Coretemp but others have been saying it is not accurate, because my HWinfo and coretemp say two different temps, by like 15*C 2.What is the max temperature my processor should reach under a prime 95 Load? Right now i am clocked at 4.2ghz 1.325v and the temperature coretemp said i reached was 35* while HWinfo said i reached 47* Thanks for the help!

By a Intel Nic http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033 I have had this one for a long time and hasnt failed! and for 30$. Who can beat it?

yeah, then you are set! Good luck with the build!

Hello, I have a Gigabyte 970a-d3 for my motherboard with an fx 6100 and 1x gtx 560 non ti. I was wondering if this motherboard will support sli? Thanks

Good job with the build, The 780 is ridiculously expensive though, what I reccomend doing is purchasing a Radeon 7970, it is about the performance of a gtx 770. you will save at least 200$ and you wont lose that much performance, and with that 1200ww psu. u can buy two more of these cards and put them in crossfire. There is always an urge to buy the latest and greatest. But sometimes, a last generation card is better. Btw, the 700 series doesnt have an architectural advance, so i dont think there is a need to spend 600$ on a gtx 780.
