cpu

Looking to upgrade my CPU above all things, in order to do so I need a new motherboard and then RAM to go with it (as my current RAM is DDR3 and not 4). Current budget: £500 (£530 MAX) - ($650-$690, roughly. USD). I'm looking at getting one of these motherboards: 1...

Never thought I'd be doing a spec me thread but my current build has given up on me after 8 years and I don't have the time to tinker with it to fix whatever might be wrong, seems like a duff PSU but not 100% sure. The current specs are/were: Motherboard: ATX Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3, Socket...

Hi guys I'm looking at getting this motherboard as I have already got the CPU. I've read places that you can overclock this non k chip but it depends on the board. Would this board allow me to do so? Thanks, Josh.

Hi, I recently had a power cut and after my computer would turn on but there was no display at first I thought it was the power supply as it was very old and was the oldest component in my computer so I replaced it for a 1000w psu, however this didn't fix the issue, it powers but there is now...

Hello! first post here, I have a ASRock H97M Pro4 Motherboard with a Gforce GTX 760 GPU and a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30Ghz CPU, i also have 16gb of ram. Now the question is what i should upgrade to if i want photoshop and similar programs to run smoother, I thought it would be the...

Hi All, Bought my 7600K a few years ago (when 4 core i5's were cool). I've noticed in games like R6 Siege, Battelfield, and even Resident Evil 2, are maxing all 4 cores out and I feel like im not letting my new Sapphire Vega 64 get to it's full potential. I've looked at loads of videos, and...

Good morning all, i'm not really new to the scene but i am having a few problems it seems, to get to the short of it, my CPU with AI on at 4900mhz is fine, everything is perfect i try bumping this to 5000mhz and the game crashes half way loading, I've tried over and over again bumping it up...

So i want to know how you can best guess the right CPU ad GPU combination to avoid bottle-necking. I can see how i might lose 10 frames using a Ryzen 1700 with a GTX 20180 Ti rather than using an Intel 9900K. But this doesn't matter to me as both CPUs would give over 100fps in games at 1080p...

Hey, so as the title reads a friend and I both build new gaming PCs and choose pretty much the same parts bar the SSD, HDD and the Power supply. We both get micro stuttering in our games, the other friends do not. by the way just to clarify it isn't screen tearing it is like a stutter that...

Currently have an i3-8100 with a gtx 1060 6gb, 16gb ddr4 Is it a good idea to upgrade to an i5-8400 for about £200? Or would it be better to just put the money towards a new gpu, 1070 probably. I mainly game and use vr, and after getting a 2nd monitor and attempting to run multiple programs...

Hi all, I've been playing games on PC for some years but its mostly been simulation games. That dont really require a beastly PC (ets2) but I've decided to get into a bit more of a demanding side of gaming. Such as triple A titles. Battlefield 5 etc. Current specs: Intel core i7 7700k 4.2ghz...

Hi all, Ive made an account here to ask for some advice on this very specific problem. Ive been doing some searching and cant find a case the same as mine so im hoping someone with some good CPU knowledge can help out. So I took my mac into a local repair shop a few weeks ago to get repaired...

So, my current setup is GPU: Gtx 1060 6gb, with CPU: intel i3-8100, and a 1080p 75hz monitor. I have around £500 to spend, give or take, and i am looking for some advice for what to upgrade. My possible options i was thinking of are: i5-8400 (or maybe 8600??) CPU + a 1440p (depending on...

Hello everyone, Regretfully during a build last week, a young sibling managed to knock my brand new 9600k off low stool. The CPU departed from the plastic casing in free-fall and slid a few inches across a tiled floor. Thankfully, no serious damage was dealt to the CPU - I have it up and...

had a moment of madness and considered buying a 9900k to replace my 8600k, would I see any improvement?? only really play pubg. reason I considered it, I could leave it basically stock in the bios and a have the same speeds without the worry of the OC stability/lifespan/temp

I am currently running my pc with Intel Pentium G860. I am thinking to upgrade to I5 3570K. Is this good? My motherboard is Biostar H61MGV3 ver 8.0.

So recently i had to RMA my GTX 1080 FTW as it was acting up, received the RMA card and it sorted all the issues out for about a week and then as the title suggests... in game i got black screens and the fans ramped up to full speed. I could hear my friend speaking through discord but he...
