  1. The Windows 10 licence hooks into the hardware (mainly the motherboard) of your system. If it recognizes the hardware has been changed it will need to be reactivated again.
  2. The problems regarding the program "not responding" are very likely down to the insufficient amount of RAM in your system. 4GB total is simply not enough to run Davinci Resolve. 16GB is recommended, but you'll likely see big improvements already by upgrading to 8GB. The X5675 would be a very nice upgrade and will definitely help, but adding more RAM should be your priority.
  3. Intel Quick Sync of the Haswell generation does not offer VP9 decoding, hence everything will be done by the CPU.
  4. It's not an ideal situation, especially since the rear case fan has no filter, but you what you could try first is reverse the airflow. So the rear fan and top fan as an intake, then through the CPU cooler and out through the radiator. In that way you could at least verify that the radiator as intake is not the culprit.
  5. The is no "minimum". Ideally you always want your GPU to be fully utilized, not your CPU. So it can be anything; HD5450? SLI RTX Titan? Bottleneck all depends on the application and the settings used.
  6. Most likely a bug in HWinfo, more people on Reddit are reporting that their chips are recognized as such. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/ci526p/3900x_engineering_sample/
  7. Finally had some quality time with the SR-2, managed 4.53GHz on the dual X5675s at 1.475V under air cooling.
  8. I mean, the title is "10 ways Mac OS is just better"
  9. In certain heavily multithreaded games it might help going from 4c/8t to 8c/16t. However fundamentally the bottleneck is caused by the older CPU architecture, lower clock speeds and memory bandwith. Adding cores might help a little here and there, but it's not going to resolve the bottleneck.
  10. USB Micro B USB 3.0
  11. It could be that the VRMs on your moterhboard are getting too hot and therefore not allowing max power draw. You could try to point a fan directly at the VRM to see if that is the problem.
  12. Yes this will work. FCLGA (Flip Chip Land Grid Array) means that the processor die is on top of the substrate. For modern Intel CPUs, the use of the terms FCLGA and LGA are often mixed, but boil down to the same thing.
  13. To me this does still sound like an issue with your H100i. Do you have another cooler to try?
  14. A GPU will protect itself against heat by throttling down frequency, but not against hardware damage. Besides, a power cut should not damage components (apart from perhaps corrupting data). A power surge is what kills devices.
