so in other words, there's absolutely no solutions except for upgrading?...I honestly don't see why a $300 CPU can't run a game like csgo without going over 70% usage...

Well, first of all that is not called throttling.

Second, the 4690k is only a 4 core CPU and it is really easy for a program to use it close to 100%.

Third, maybe you have other stuff in the background using some of the CPU and not just your game.

i dunno, i just heard throttling is when your pc slows down or fps reduces in order to prevent my pc from going crazy.

also, I definitely do not. I have task manager open and it's just cs:go taking up everything...everything besides csgo only takes up ~4% usage.

You said "cpu begins throttling"

Throttling happens because of high temps.

Either you're reading your temps wrong or the CPU is not throttling.

well when the usage maxes out it begins dropping frames. Happens rarely but averaging 75-80 usage is pretty high for just 1 program.

If your CPU is throttling that means your cooling is bad, not that you need to reduce the usage.

how could that be true if im getting around 40C?

its opensource 

which means???

Just now, nerdslayer1 said:

i am talking in english? its vary effective. 

what makes it better than adblockplus and all the other adblockers tho?

Just now, nerdslayer1 said:

its opensource cross platform adblocker with a large community behind it. 

english please. and i dont care about the community, i care about how well it runs and how effective it is.

isnt blacklisting youtubers the point? lol idc about supporting people with ads. and is it better than adblockplus?

if so, in what sense is it better? explain pls

Just now, nerdslayer1 said:

first of all blacklist all the YouTubers you want to support, for a good adblocker Ublock origin. 

isnt blacklisting youtubers the point? lol idc about supporting people with ads. and is it better than adblockplus?

title says it all. ive only used adblockplus for google chrome but i was wondering if there is any other adblocker that is still easy to get but has great performance (doesnt slow down ur pc at all) and that has great effectiveness.

Why Bestbuy? 

"we need a fast and cheap solution"

that's why. we aren't gonna wait like another 5-6 days of delivery just for something that might be just as good as something from best buy.

So i just built a new pc for my brother (not for gaming) and he said that he is not able to hook up an ethernet cord to the pc. As a result, we think we are going to buy a usb wifi adapter or some sort of wifi card so that we can be able to connect to the internet via wifi. I'm not too familiar with the names but i think the wifi cards are also called PCI express adapters??

well, the point is we called best buy and they said that they do not carry any pci express adapters but they do have wireless wifi adapters. They said that they have these four in the picture below: 

Just wanted to know if they were good and if they are what i am looking for. We just need a fast and cheap solution for having wifi access for this new computer?

so basically its the second slot and the 4th slot?

Because different motherboards put Channels next to each other or apart.  It isn't a standard so you need to look it up.

i have the msi z170a sli plus motherboard, can someone please look it up for me? i cannot find it anywhere in the manual.

consult your manual 

why would i? ive seen this question answered online most of the time. i just can't remember which way it's supposed to be.

Hello, I am building a new computer and i have 2x8 sticks of DDR4 corsair vengeance ram. I had a quick question: my motherboard has 4 slots, is it better to place the ram separated or together next to each other? is there a specific way i should place it or does it not make a difference?

When the motherboard arrives, check the box by the serial number. It should say what BIOS version is pre-installed at the factory.

You can check online on the motherboards support webpage to see if this BIOS is after the Kabylake compatibility. If the BIOS version is not stated on the box, try it, and if it doesn't work return the CPU and get a Skylake one.

does anyone know if newegg lets you exchange and return items for other items? Their return policy is very vague and after reading it, it almost sounds like u can only return items in order to exchange for the same item you ordered.

The wifi I'm on rn is crap please just say in text

1TB Western Digital

i5 7500 Kaby Lake CPU

2x8 Corsair Vengence DDR4 Ram 3000mHz

NZXT S340 (white)

MSI Z170A SLI LGA 1151

and as u know i have the gpu, psu, and os already.

Wat parts have you ordered

everything in the picture.

What parts do you already have?

nothing yet, they're in shipment. but i will return the processor at least if its gonna be a pain.

Step 1. Using another computer, download the latest BIOS from the motherboards support website, and place the BIOS file onto a USB stick.

Step 2. Build the new computer with a compatible Skylake processor.

Step 3. Turn on the PC, and enter the BIOS.

Step 4. Flash the updated BIOS onto the motherboard. Details will be in the user manual.

Step 5. Check system POSTs, and displays correct updated BIOS version.

Step 6. Turn off the system, and remove the Skylake processor. Then install the Kabylake processor.

Step 7. Turn on the system, and check that the system POSTs. Carry on as normal.

 

Honestly, it is easier to avoid doing this by getting a B250 motherboard. If you have the motherboard already, get a i5 6600 CPU instead.

i can't get a skylake processor...should i return the kaby lake and just go for a skylake one instead for the sake of trouble?

So I have a GTX 960, windows 10, and a EVGA 600W PSU laying around in my closest. All free. Assuming this, I need to have a PC built that is around 600 dollars. The PC is for multitasking on browsers and other programs. It is NOT for gaming. We might end up gaming a bit on it, but nothing intensive at all; maybe something like some casual counter strike or TF2. But otherwise, it is PRIMARY is multitasking. 

With this in mind, I have a picture that shows what I will be purchasing for this build, it is highlighted in yellow. 

I am primarily concerned with the motherboard-ram-cpu combo. I wanted to know (assuming I want DDR4 and a 1151 socket) if this is a good combo or not? I realize now that the board is z-series, which is pointless if my cpu is not a k-series. I also know now that the Kaby Lake is annoying to work with because of the bios update that may be required since it's a newer processor. As a result, I want someone to give me a better motherboard-ram-cpu combo that's around the same price with the same specs, just more compatible and less of a pain in the *#$ to work with.

Thank you!

Is that 600 including the PSU os and 960?
