  1. Can I do anything if another user has a folding badge based on WU I have completed?
  2. My entry looks fine, but @Orecal applied using my folding username. Orecal rank: 4494 My rank: 4922
  3. H81 may support overclocking a G3258, but overclocking/overvolting a 4690K with an H81 board would most likely cause the VRMs to overheat and could cause major longevity issues for the CPU and board.
  4. A Z97 board would be required to overclock, and the 4460 is clocked lower then the 4690.
  5. I have an M65, and I'm sick of the laser sensor.
  6. http://wccftech.com/intel-2015-2016-roadmap-reveals-skylake-s-unlocked-processors-q3-2015-65w-broadwell-kseries-q2-broadwelle-arrives-q1-2016/
  7. Watch some of Linus' videos, it's really quite easy.
  8. <insert unreleased product> will be <insert random predictions>
  9. A TX3 isn't great for overclocking, but a small chip like the 4300 could be overclocked well with it. Maybe use that until you have the money/expertise to replace your mobo and CPU.
  10. It performs well at multithreaded tasks and overclocks quite well, it would give you a definite boost in modern games, especially if you overclocked it a bit. An 8320 is essentially the same processor downclocked, you can overclock it to 8350 levels and save a few bucks if you want.
  11. Not sure exactly how they work, but a cheap USB Bluetooth dongle may do the trick.
  12. An 8320/8350 would be decent, you may be able to find a used one for relatively cheap. Otherwise wait for Skylake and get a new board and CPU then
  13. No, a 4790K needs an LGA 1150 socket, that board is AM3+
  14. I would recommend powerline, it's a relatively cheap option with no interference and lower latency. I personally use it, it's far better than Wi-Fi.
  15. You can clone a drive that way, but if you're moving to a new system and switching to SSD, it isn't recommended. You would be best off installing Windows, drivers, and your programs fresh on your new PC and then you can easily copy your games from /Steam/SteamApps/common/
  16. If you can, get an IPS display. The superior colour reproduction is worth it IMHO.
  17. It also depends on what your system can manage. If your system is capable of 1440p but struggles with 4K, why would you spend extra money on a 4K monitor if you can't even take full advantage of it? A good IPS 4K monitor costs far more than a good IPS 1440p monitor.
  18. If you're using digital audio that means the actual sound processor isn't on your board, it's in the speakers or sound system. There should be no difference between the two if you're using digital audio, and all onboard audio is pretty poor, you shouldn't be too concerned about it. If you want special effects like surround and such, you can get programs like Razer Surround to take care of that for you. THX is more of a gimmick than an improvement.
  19. avidemux, cinelerra, kdenlive, blender
  20. The Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe was legendary. Get that one if you can.
  21. I don't think that a 210 would boost your fps at all. The cheapest card that will boost gaming performance would be this one.
