    jools got a reaction from Rambo in Motherboard bus frequency   
    look for any mobo that takes a i7 7700k but I think you are under the impression that u need a new mobo, u don't.......the base clk freq is multiplied to match cpu speed and its also multiplied   to match ram speeds(eg. 3200mhz 32x100) this is a very rough explanation but generally true...
    ps..........ALL bus speeds are lower than cpu speeds hence multipliers

    jools reacted to Levent in Does 5.1 channels work in music?   
    it all depends what kind of media player you are using, also some sound cards can upscale the audio channels to 5.1 (afaik all realtek cards does that) without depending on the media itself. That being said you can actually output 5.1 audio if you have an audio file that is encoded for 6 channels, if you want 5.1 audio without depending on software tricks.

    jools reacted to MineNightOwl in What is happening with the clock speed?   
    That's just GPU boost doing its job, make sure you're on the latest drivers, and as long as its staying past 1500 it technically doesn't have to go any higher. 
     
    Your temps are also quite high, I wouldn't recommend overclocking, it probably dropped to ~900 to lower the temps a bit.

    This will allow for OC and possibly SLI. Its a good PSU.
     
    If arent running SLI you can grab the 650/750 watt version of the same PSU

    The factory one. 240w I believe. You really can’t upgrade those psu’s.
     
    but even if your cpu is 90w and the gpu is 75w that still leaves you 75w for a Hdd, motherboard and ram. Which is fine.
     
    remember the 75w tdp isn’t what it actually uses it’s what the heatsink is rated for.

    That computer is dead as can be and you'll have to test each bit by itself to find out what's truly dead but you'll be lucky if you didn't fry the board and CPU together.

    Ahh, I see. As for your question, I'd partition your drive and use Windows 10. No point in using something older.

    jools reacted to RollinLower in GPU not using all of its ram :/   
    because it will only need to use 4GB to run the benchmark. if you run a heavier benchmark or on a higher resolution you should see the VRAM usage go up.

    jools reacted to tikker in Why do people hype up FreeSync?   
    Is there a hype around FreeSync? It's just that FreeSync is free and we see it in pretty much any monitor versus the extra $200 or so for GSync. I don't see a con anywhere nor a hype.

    jools reacted to BubblyCharizard in New SSD old HDD quits working   
    when you populate an m.2 slot, it can disable 1 or 2 of the SATA ports
     
    double check the motherboard manual to see if it does, and which port(s) if any it does
     
    sometimes, if you look at PCPP it can have a warning like "The motherboard M.2 slot #2 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled."
     
    if you are using the ASUS Prime b350 plus,
     
    1*Due to the limitation of AMD Ryzen™ processors, memory frequencies higher than DDR4 2666 MHz are supported only when using one DIMM per channel.
    2*AMD Ryzen™ Processor does not support.
    3*PCIeX16_2 slot shares bandwidth with PCIeX1_1 and PCIeX1_2.
    4*The M.2 Socket shares bandwidth with the SATA6G_5/6 ports, therefore the SATA6G_5/6 ports cannot be used when a SATA/PCIE mode M.2 device is installed.
    5*The M.2 Socket shares bandwidth with the SATA6G_5/6 ports, therefore the SATA6G_5/6 ports cannot be used when a SATA/PCIE mode M.2 device is installed.

    jools reacted to Alexzz_ in Safely wiping SSD   
    depends, what type of hack was it? how infected was your laptop? what i recommend you do is back up all the files you want on a usb stick, take the windows activation code off your pc, then wipe the ssd and reinstall windows.
