Hey, Pretty new to overclocking and I'm trying to find stable overclock for my 4670k, but it seems I got rather unlucky with my cpu. I set it to 4.2Ghz and 1.2V, if I run intel burn test, I can run it for hours and my pc wont reboot or BSOD, but if I run prime95 it will reboot or bsod after 5-15minutes. That will even happen if I set my voltage to 1.23, and I even tried 1.25v but I couldn't run prime95 longer than 5 minutes because one of the cores jumped to 91C for a second. Is my cpu really that bad or I can try to do something else here. System specs: Gigabyte Z87-hd3 i5 4560k Crucial Ballistix 2x8GB DDR3 at stock clock Chieftec 750W psu GTX 760 Noctua NH-D14 cooler

Hey, I found used H110i GT for a cheap price, and I have Fractal design core 3000 case. Problem is that pcpartpicker.com says that this cooler is not compatible for my case, and for core 2500 it is compatible with. Core 2500 is smaller in dimensions than core 3000, which got me confused why it shouldn't fit in my core 3000.

I mostly play PUBG, and the gtx 1060 6GB is like 100€ more expensive than the 3GB variant, so for me paying 100€ extra for small amount of perfomance is a no go. PUBG favors Nvidia card, so I might go for that.

Hey, I figured my old GTX 760 needs to go and I can't decide which graphics card should I buy for 1080p gaming, RX 480/580 4GB OR GTX 1060 3GB. I am able to get a RX 580 4GB for around 240-250€ and GTX 1060 3GB for 200-215€. If I look at the performance both cards are equal in my eyes, but I'm buying a card for another 2 years or so, and 3GB vram of GTX 1060 makes me question is it enough for 2 years for 1080p. Games I mostly play are PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege and GTA V.

Yeah, same for me, Witcher 3 and other demanding games running fine while GTA 5 is just being weird.

Yeah, I had pretty similar problem with stuttering, I was able to play the game for ~30minutes and then some stutters came in. I went through alot of stuff to get rid of it: drivers, memory testing, installing on other storage device, tweaking in Nvidia inspector, trying different game settings and probably something else that I cant remember right now - but with no results. Then I found a forum post somewhere where people had same problem and they turned their "Maximum processor state" under Windows power settings to 98%-95% and it worked. So I tried the same thing and it has worked flawlessly so far. No idea what this is related to, my CPU temps stay around 60-70C while playing.

Found 6 months used Galaxy S6 for 330€. How would you compare S6 to 5X in terms of battery and being stable and not laggy for another 2-3 years?

Alright Nexus 5x seems to be the thing to look for. Looking at my local dealers (Estonia) the 32GB version is ~100€ more expensive than the 16GB one, which doesn't seem legit for me. Looking on amazon.de i can get 32GB version around ~350€ range. What things should I look for when buying a phone from different country to make it work with Estonian cellular provier SIM cards.

If it has bad battery life then its definitely not for me. I have owned a Sony smartphone for quite a while now and I just dont feel like buying another one.

Forgot to mention. Battery must last a full day while making 15 minutes total of calls a day and using 3G, 4G for couple of hours a day.

I'm looking to buy a new smartphone, that would be around 300-400€. I want it to serve me another 2-3 years. First things that caught my eye were HTC M8: ~390€, Moto X Play 360€, LG Nexus 5X ~330€. My first concern is all they have 2GB RAM and is that enough to run another 2-3, possibly even 4 years without any major delay or lag issues while regular use (Phone calls, FB messenger, Snapchat, few simple games.)

Is this gonna be another chatter about what's good or I can actually get some model recommendations?

I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard that is cheap and decent, no need for fancy backlights and it ships to Estonia (Eastern/Northern Europe). Budget: 70 € - Lower = better

Is there a way to set a trigger sensitivity for a replica ps3 controller using PC? When i press the trigger slightly it goes 100% on, with PS3 controller I don't have that problem. Example: I press the trigger slighty with replica controller car goes full throttle in GTA V, but with PS3 controller I can use the trigger however I want, 25% throttle, 50% throttle etc.

Hey, I'm looking for a headset for gaming and music and I heard that Pioneer SE-M521 are quite good for the price ~35€. Are these headphones good for gaming too or should I look for something else, I have also heard good stuff about Superlux but it takes more 2 weeks to get those in my country. What do you recommend around ~50€ price range?
