I have a 7700k on a Strix Z270H and I'm running 2 x 8Gb @ 2133. (stock speed) + RX 480 if that matters I found an amazing deal on some trident Z neo 2x 16 @ 3800 but dont know if I can even use it with my processor. The MOBO supports all speeds up to 3866 so I should be good to get that fast stuff right? if not, a slight downclock? How much of an improvement should i expect? for reference I run ~80 FPS on GTA V 1440p high settings i believe. It could be high but i probs lowered the FPS killers. Dirt 5 is meh FPS wise but i think I blame my gpu for that. cities skylines runs smoothish. Its not a bad system but has its moments of weakness I just want to know if the speed increase is a boost that's worth the price, because I could save half by buying an identical kit of 2x8 @2133. So will my i7 7700k be fine running that high 3800 memory well? if not, im stuck with buying a lame identical kit.

Current System Specs: CPU: i7 6700k Mobo: Asus Prime z270-p RAM: 32gb Corsair Vengeance LPX ( 3 sticks of 2666Mhz and 1 stick of 2400 Mhz ), bought 3 stick after sometime PSU: Thermal take DPSG 750W SSD: Samsung 970 evo 500gb Hdd: WD Green 1Tb GPU: Gigabyte 1660ti Monitor: HP Z30i 30" ( 2560x1600, 70 hz) Cooler: Stock Hey Guys! I want to ask Which parts should i choose to upgrade my system. I am an Engineer/Freelancer by profession and use these software like almost 12 hrs a day. ( Solid woks, Fusion 360, Rhinoceros, AutoCAD ), Also i am learning Adobe suite ( Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc )to enhance my skills which will help me a lot in my freelance product design career and also i am working on blender ( planning to use that for mostly renderings in like 0.5- 1year). For Gaming I normally play Single Player AAA games. Now with the increase in workload on big project, i think i might need to update my system, which will give me some advantage in mostly working ( gaming in not my biggest concern at the moment ) The Choices I have: Scenario 1: CPU: i9 10850k ( 531 usd ) Mobo: Any Good Mobo for it Cooler: Noctua NH-D15s Other Components: Old Components ( except i will change my 2400mhz Ram to 2600mhz ) Scenario 2: CPU: 5800x ( 578usd ) Mobo: Any good mobo for it Cooler: Noctua NH-D15s Other Components: Old Components ( except i will change my 2400mhz Ram to 2600mhz ) Scenario 3: CPU: i7 10700k Mobo: Good mobo ( definitely it will be cheaper then the i9 one ) Cooler: Noctua NH-D15s Other Components: Old Components ( except i will change my 2400mhz Ram to 2600mhz ) Questions: I will upgrade my GPU in future when the stock is available ( Which one should i choose ? ). Should I save my money by choosing scenario 3 and spend that on GPU. Should I use my old rams ( the 3 2666 mhz are 1.5 years old ) and will change my low mhz ram to match the other 3 ? Or should i Change all of them to get the higher clock speed one. Can you guys recommend me good mobo for each scenario Note: Money is not an issue at all. but all i want is to utilize it in a best way possible. so that i will be able to work on it for 2-3 years or maybe more. I just don't want to overspend my money. Kind Regards -
its important to know that my PC ain't nothing new in terms of the hardware and OS, but i still want it to be working before i can get the upgrade i desperately want. So my CPU seems to be working itself harder than it should be, the task manager says it works itself to the max when i do the most basic of things, like having just one chrome tab up and nothing else. awhile ago (half a year?) it didn't have this sorta problem, is this a sign of the CPU or other hardware degrading? i think the CPU is a i7 and the OS is windows 7

I have been researching and I was about to get 10700 with Z490 but ended up Z490 motherboard that I wanted to buy is out of stock everywhere in my country, Malaysia. Now I was thinking of i7 11700 = $395 i7 11700k = $460 Ryzen 7 5800x = $568 (almost out of stock everywhere) They perform almost the same between 11700 and 11700k. Both Boost up to 4.9 and 5.0 ghz respectively (I'm not overclocking actually). I know 5800x is faster than both of them but for the price which one would you be considering? The pricing was converted to US and prices are inflated compared to US pricing (this is standard in my country)

Hello guys, so first of all english is not my native language and i just made an account for this topic but i think i might stay this site is really helpful. :) The background: I bought an Lenovo H50-50 for a good price. The specs: Cpu: I5 4440 Gpu: Zotac GTX 1050 NON TI Psu: the original lenovo 270W one Ssd: SanDisk 240 gb Ram: 2x 4gb 1600mhz The problem: I bought an upgrade cpu of ebay. Its the i7 4770 non k and after installing i found out it boots for a split second without posting because it instantly shuts off. But the old i5 works just fine! I tried with 1 ram stick in every slot didnt work. I tried resetting the cmos didnt work. Reseating every cable that exists didnt work. I even unplugged my gpu because i thought the i7 didnt get enough power because the psu is kind of trash, but that didnt work either. (Reminder; when i put the i5 in it works fine!) Could it be that my bios is too old? I looked at the lenovo spec sheet online and it said an i7 4790 should work so i figured out the i7 4770 should work aswell. Could it be that i just bought a dead cpu? Is there any way to find that out? Im working on a tight budget because i dont want to spend too much on a machine that just plays LoL and CSGO. One love Franek

So I was given the choice of picking 4-5 prebuilt machines that have been slightly upgraded already, but I don't know which ones to pick. I need help picking the best ones from the lineup. the choices and spec are below: OPTIPLEX 3040 Processor Type: INTEL CORE I5-6500 / Speed: 3.2 GHz / Memory Speed: 1600 / Memory Type: DDR3 / Size: 8 GB OPTIPLEX 3040 Processor Type: INTEL CORE I5-6500 / Speed: 3.2 GHz / Memory Speed: 1600 / Memory Type: DDR3 / Size: 8 GB ProDesk 400 G3 Processor Type: INTEL CORE I5-6500 / Speed: 3.2 GHz / Memory Speed: 2133 / Memory Type: DDR4 / Size: 8 GB PRODESK 600 G2 MT INTEL CORE I5-6500, Speed: 3.20GHZ, Size: 8 GB, HD Capacity: 1 TB ProDesk 400 G3 INTEL CORE I5-6500 / Speed: 3.2 GHz / Memory Speed: 2133 / Memory Type: DDR4 / Size: 8 GB ProDesk 400 G3 INTEL CORE I5-6500 / Speed: 3.2 GHz / Memory Speed: 2133 / Memory Type: DDR4 / Size: 8 GB IDEACENTRE 700-25ISH INTEL CORE I5-6400 / Speed: 2.7 GHz / Memory Speed: 2133 / Memory Type: DDR4 / Size: 8GB THINKSERVER TS140 INTEL XEON E3-1245 V3 / Speed: 3.40 GHZ / Memory Speed: 12800 / Memory Type: DDR3L / Size: 32GB Lenovo P320 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz / Speed: 4.20GHz / Memory Speed: 2133 / Memory Type: DDR4 / Size: 8 GB THINKSTATION P300 INTEL XEON E3-1241 V3 / Speed: 3.50 GHz / Memory Speed: 1600 / Memory Type: DDR3 / Size: 4 GB These are each of the computers. Some of them do have GPU's but they are fairly old and don't have more than 1GB so they will all be replaced. I was thinking of not using any of the XEONs and only using the i7 and the i5 that are using ddr4. I am also aware that most if not all will need a new PSU to supply enough power for the GPU and everything else. I am trying to purely focus on if the case is good enough to try and building in and if the hardware that's currently in there is worth the work of building in the case and my other hardware. my GPU's I have on hand is nothing newer than just a basic 2gb 1050 (not the Ti) and older. I think I have mostly 970 and 960s on hand -
HI, i already purchased Gigabyte AORUS RTX 2080 Ti version, but im scared to do exchange with my old 1070 Ti cuz im thinking the current psu is not enough for this beast. Should i upgrade with higher PSU or no. I'll use stock everything. No OC's.

I recently bought a laptop that has 7700hq and GTX 1050 4gb and 8 GB RAM. Please recommend some games (racing, shooting, open world, simulation) that would run on it. The laptop : https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0786TZKR9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_31Q724SQCA7HAHY8YDDX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Thanks!

Hi! Just rebuilt my PC, went from a Corsair Hydro V60 V3 (120mm) to a Corsair Hydro H150i pro (360mm) that i bought from a friend. With the upgrade i switched to a new powersupply (had a old GS600 series PSU), now im running a CX650M instead (site sold them out). Also upgraded to a M.2 SSD together with my 4 other ones (lol). Also switched from a Fractal Design Define S case to a white Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic so i could fit this beast of a aio cooler together with more fans for more badass cooling. Now to the issue in hand, after firing the old bad boy up and thinking "hey lets play some Battlefield 2042 since its out and i got sick ass cooling and new PSU and all" that i noticed that my temperatures where jumping more than a kid on a trampoline in idle and load. Im going from 30 degrees in idle to 70-90 in prime 95. And when i mean jumping i really mean jumping. From one second to another its jumping between 20 degrees on load. So i can sit by the PC, fire up prime 95 and as soon as the stress test loads its up to 70-90 degrees instantly. Same goes for games, fired up Battlefield 5 just to try and see what happens in games. And its the same there, the temp spikes right away. Even in idle the temp can suddenly spike from one core to another (30 to 50 in a millisecond). Full PC setup: CPU: i7 8700k on stock clock (plan was to clock the shit out of it... but yeah) GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2133mhz CL13 Cooler: Corsair Hydro H150i PRO RGB PSU: Corsar CX650M Drives: Seagate Barracuda 1TB - OCZ TL100 240GB - Kingston V300 120GB - Samsung 860 Evo 250GB - Samsung 870 Evo 500GB Case fans: 6 120mm (3 intake and 3 exhaust) OS: Windows 10 Home Does anyone have a faintest idea on whats up? Could the pump in the aio cooler be bad? Bad thermal paste? The troubleshooting i have done is reseat the pump/cooler and redone the thermal paste and cleaned the surface (used a grain of rice as measurment which i have always done and it has worked before) Thanks!

The total price difference between the two cooling options has been narrowed to about $22 for me if we count mounting kits and all that. I'm building a new system with the following (GREEN = Already Bought): MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12 GB VENTUS 3X OC Video Card Intel Core i7-12700K 3.6 GHz 12-Core Processor Asus PRIME Z690-A ATX LGA1700 Motherboard Corsair HX Platinum 750 W 80+ Platinum And either memory: Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-5200 CL40 Memory ADATA XPG LANCER RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-5200 CL38 Memory Now the last part I need is either: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black 82.52 CFM ($115 + $14 for LGA1700 kit) ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 RGB 48.8 CFM ($150) One un-obvious thing that the ARCTIC has an advantage for me for is I can get it's 1700 conversion kit for totally free much faster, perhaps before the cooler itself. (I go buy either cooler on the 12/12). I can get the Noctua's one as well for free too but that process requires buying the cooler beforehand for proof of purchase aswell (while Arctic only require proof of CPU which I already bought) so the whole process is delayed from the get-go, although a local bought kit will set me back $14 which I included in the price difference at the top if I wanna skip the wait. Another fluff detail is that ARCTIC has a slight compatibility issue with my MOBO as shown here although as I understand it serves no danger or impact of performance and I just have to remove part of the cover. While Noctua says my MOBO is fully in the clear as shown here.

Hi, I have problem while gaming. So, when i play League of Legends, sometimes game freezes for second. Then I went out of lol and on task manager cpu was 100% and gpu 5%.I m playing on i7 2600, 16gb hyperx ddr3 ram, asus amd rx 570 4gb and lol is on ssd. I had this problem in game squad, game is more cpu intensive and all i have done i just set my graphics settings to high. And gpu took a part of job and game goes better on high. While on low cpu just work. In lol its different, i dont know. Ty on replies

Does anyone know any way to adapt JCORSAIR1 Headers to something more common like USB or addressable RGB for example? Trying to run a set of 5 Corsair SP RGB PROS on a ROG Rampage IV Formula. I am trying to avoid the options of running my pre-existing RGB hub through say a Commander PRO. I also cant upgrade my motherboard very much because I am running a i7 3930k which has quite a old socket. If anyone knows of a Motherboard with a LGA 2011 socket that also supports JCORSAIR1 That would be great.

Hi everyone, I want to get the Intel i7 9700k, but it's sold out. But the i7 9700kf is still in stock. I have a gpu but does the integrated graphics help the CPU now in any way? Is it worth going for it?

Hi guys! I'm in a bit of a pickle and I'd like to hear from you on something. So I'm looking to upgrade my platform to intel 12gen (coming from a i5 4590 - yes, it's been a long time..) and originally I was going to pick up the 12700K + the MSI Z690 EDGE WiFi DDR4. But that's slightly out of my price range for now and I'm not much of an overclocker so the "K" aspect of the CPU would be wasted. I preferably just want stuff to work with just maybe a smidge of tweaking. Then I saw the 12700 (non K, non F) and the price/marginal performance loss is really tempting and would suit me more than enough for what I'm doing (mostly slightly-above-average Resolve Editing and Star Citizen). But I wanted to save just a bit more so I downgraded my motherboard to the MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi DDR4. Now, you may think - "You don't need a Z690 if you ain't gonna oc" - and you'd be right, but then I saw the Hardware Unboxed video about the i7 12700 and learned about the anti-consumer power states crap. The "K" and "KF" SKU of chips can boost and draw as much power as they want for as long as they want, but every other model - non K - works just like previous gen. Boosts for a short while and drops down the wattage. And the whole point of me buying the base 12700 is to use it at its higher wattage level. In the video they mentioned that the PL2 state on the 12700 would work just like the K CPUs on Z690 boards - indefinitely - except maybe some budget ASRock models, but the MSI that I chose is... Well... As "budget" as it gets so my question is the following: Is the MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi capable of running the i7 12700 at it's PL2 power state indefinitely, or should I look elsewhere OR try to save up a bit more and get the 12700K (based on my usage: Resolve and Star Citizen - I personally don't think I'll see much of a difference, but please, correct me if I'm wrong.) Hardware Unbox tested the CPU on a B660 motherboard and said that it does work on some models, but there isn't a list that you can just look up. Maybe my thinking is wrong going with a Z690 and you know a B660 board that can do what I would need it to do? Preferably with WiFi & Bluetooth, ATX and black. Thanks in advance! -
Quick specs: Mobo MSI Z390A- Pro Inet I7 9700K 3.60 Ghz ADATA RAM 16 Gbs SSD for footing AIO don't who the manufacturer is because iBuypower put their logo and it doesn't tell anything else on it More info on the attached image. So I bought a rig from iBuyPower a couple of years back and it was running great till this week. I'm a VFX artist & video editor so i do have CPU intensive work load. My CPU Cores are basically cooking themselves, and it's not just one, all of them. I'll Attach an image with computer info and specs. no weird sounds or blue screens, or even crashes it just thermal throttles and the performance goes out the window. this is right off the bat after booting up even after letting it cool down all night as the MSI center image displays the socket is still a bit hot but way cooler that the cores on chip. I love computers but when it comes to assembling one and of course maintenance I'm out of scope. so please if anyone has a great idea of how to fix this that would be great. I moved to Mexico so sending it over for RMA or anything of the sort would be a nightmare and i think I'm out warranty already. I moved the computer to a different power outlet and I'm using a PSU that should handle my workload. Clean and reattach fans to the chasis Artic with silver compound thermal paste reapplied AIO sounds like its working but the air coming out the exhaust is still fresh and not hot so i think it could be the pump but the socket being cooler than cores makes me doubt myself. light on the pump turns and on and displays animations but i have no way of getting a read on the pump. The AIO connect directly to the power supply so i switched it to a different outlet just in case that one was defective. I tried under volting the cores but looks like AI on the software is already downing to avoid getting it hotter and if add voltage it just shuts down. So i just reset everything back defaults and let the software do it's thing. clear my temp files and scan for viruses fo a good measure. Vacuum the chasis Mobo Bios was updated. I'll get a new pump but I'm hoping that all i have to do before I call this CPU unusable. if anyone had a similar hiccup or any idea i would appreciate the help. Thanks in advance

Hello everyone, I am having a problem with my new laptop it’s an msi ge 76 i7 11800h rtx3080. So when I play game in hybrid mode with the laptop screen everything works fine but when I switch to discrete mode or connect an external monitor (hybrid or discrete) after a few seconds of the game running the fps goes to 2-5 and even after closing the game it remains very slow and unresponsive in the desktop screen. I have tried fixing the problem by updating drivers doing a ddu uninstall of the nvidia driver and a fresh install of windows but nothing helps. I would just send the laptop back to get it inspected under warranty but I am not in the same country I bought it from and the shipping is expensive so I would like to discard software problems before sending it back . Really hope somebody here can help me -
so recently, I arrived at my native place (I still am in my native place) and I found a Dell Optiplex 990 laying around. I decided to connect all the cables, plug in a monitor and keyboard and mouse etc. and it was working for 2 days. Yesterday night I had left it on to download a few games since we have a slow wifi connection here. Today morning when I woke up to check the progress, it was turned off. I asked all of the people living in the house if they turned it off and they said no. I left it at that and went downstairs for a while. When I came back upstairs to play a few games on the pc, it wouldn't turn on at all. It didn't give any beep codes, the fans weren't spinning, nothing at all, not even the lights which indicate that the pc is on was lit. The specs are: i7-2600(Non K or S Version) 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM SATA HDD Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Please help me fix this and feel free to ask for more pics/info about the pc

Hi guys I ran into a problem with my cooler today (Corsair H45 Hydro CPU Cooler AiO) and desperately need a replacement quickly basically it leaked and I'm looking for a good air cooler because this one was already replaced once already same reason (same one installed again) and I think I'm done with water-cooling for a bit.. I'm using a intel i7 6700k cooler not overclocked just the stock.. I'm doing long gaming sessions and I want something that would withstand that.. and here's my motherboard just to see if it would fit on it GIGABYTE Z170-Gaming K3 ATX Motherboard ps. I know it's a old rig but still works..

As stated in the title. I bought the motheboard and a i7 12700k. Installed everything and the PC boots just fine. I also installed W11. RAM - Corsair Vengeance 4x8GB 3000Mhz. However, RAM is running at 2133Mhz in Windows. If I enable XMP my PC won't boot, or if it does it sometimes bluescreens, turns off by itself. I also tried to run Escape from Tarkov and it either froze on me or crashed. I thought it was my RAM acting up so I tried Windows Memory Diagnostic and it said was a hardware fault detected. Did some troubleshooting and I tried disabling XMP and now I don't get any faulty hardware detected in Windows Memory Diagnostic tool. Also the PC haven't BSOD since then. I looked at Gigabytes website and it looks like I have the latest version available of BIOS. Is it a BIOS-issue or is it that my RAM are too slow? I tried setting the speed manually on my RAM in BIOS but the PC wouldn't boot after. Not sure if I did it wrong, I just changed it back to normal and now it's back to running on 2133Mhz. Am I missing something here?

Hi there! So I’m currently wanting to do a build that will work with a 3060 Ti, 3070 or higher. And I’m not sure what mobo or cpu is best? Currently I own a Gigabyte B450M DS3H and a Ryzen 5 1600. Now I could update the BIOS on my current mobo and put in a Ryzen 7 5800X eliminating the need to buy a different mobo. Or I could buy an updated mobo for around 100 with and an Intel Core i7 12700F (Which is around the same price as the Ryzen 7 5800X by itself). Now I can only really do stock coolers for awhile as after buying this I’d really be needing to save up properly for a 3060 Ti or higher. So it’d be the far future till I could really upgrade the cooler. Id be using this for gaming. Both old games and new, using blender sculpting models and just general browsing the web etc. Which do you think is better? I know the 12700F has better benchmarks but I know they need more beefy coolers to really get those benchmarks as the stock cooler isn’t very good. Whereas the stock cooler on the Ryzen 7 5800X seem to be better? But I’m no expert so I’m hoping everyone could help!

As mentioned in the title. The ram modules are KF436C16RBK2/16 Kingston Fury Renegade 3600 CL16-20-20 16gb (2 X 8gb) and they support xmp and are listed on asus motherboard support page for this motherboard. Do I just try to raise the RAM voltage? -
Hi, I've gone to stress test my CPU with cinebench but almost immediately the Power Limit Throttle kicks in and everything in the graph seems to drop. It's a stock CPU, I'm only just starting to look to OC it and this has me nervous. Can anyone advise/help me?

Hello, I've been trying to research this problem for about a month and I have no idea how to fix it, when I first built my PC, my display would freeze and gpu drivers would restart due to TDR. I looked into the device history and found out it was a LiveKernalEvent Error Code 141. It used to never give me anything extra until now, it gave me a dump file, which is attached below. System Specs: Motherboard: MSI Z590 PRO WIFI CPU: Intel Core i7-11700K GPU: Integrated graphics (hehe gpu shortage) Storage: Samsung SSD 980 1TB RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz OS: Windows 10 Home Monitor: ASUS TUF GAMING VG249 It always crashes everytime I play Roblox.

What should i buy? Intel Core i5 10600K or Intel Core i7 10700k. Which one is better for gaming? -
Hello everybody, I recently mounted a Noctua U12S Chromax into my 9700k and when I installed it I didn't pay attention to the manual and didn't screw the two screws that keep the cooler in place in the secufirm2 bracket. I screwed the right side almost completely but the mounting mechanism wouldn't let me screw all the way unless I went back to zero to screw it properly. Anyways, my only worry is the following: By heavily screwing only on a side, I assume i spread the thermal much more on a side than the other, and because of that, can it leak into the socket if this if the amount I put? Here is a photo of the amount:
