cpu

I think the CPU won’t push any more as it wouldn’t stop the Prime95 test when I pressed stop it sort of froze up, the GPU might go further? , I already have threads asking questions about over clocking them but that was on how to go about it, this is more of a general question and show off of...

Hi everyone. It is time for me to upgrade my rig so I want to start with this mighty card. Now, I'm not sure if the current spec of my build will run fine with the card. The ram is ddr3 (16gb though) and the motherboard is not ddr4 compatible. CPU should be fine I think. Let me know your...

Hi iv overclocked before , but I changed the multiplier to 37 3.7ghz on a Ryzen 1600, but I’m running a stress test and cpu z is showing the multiplier at x15? Think it’s to do with the power states and cool and quiet and all that business but I’ve forgotten which ones you turn on or off to keep...

Hey guys. I recently attempted an overclock on my AMD FX-6300, and yes I know it’s a bad CPU. I overclocked to 4.2gHz with a voltage of 1.275v. Everything seemed stable after a stress test. I went into PUBG and my frames were below 30 (low to mid 20s) and dropping to the low 10s at times, I...

I have a Ryzen 7 1700 and GTX 1080 setup. I game at 1080p resolution and I noticed that my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU severely at stock speed. I wanted to overclock it abit, but the problem is that my CPU is absolutely trash at overclocking. It sometimes wont even boot at 1.3V just for a 3.6Ghz...

Evening all, Thought I'd share a simple comparison for you showing the difference in performance I got when upgrading from 2013's A8 APU to 2018's R5 2600x. This is what you get when skipping forward 5 years! A8 6600k = avg. FPS: 73.8 (Score:3089) R5 2600x = avg. FPS: 93.3 (Score:3903) A 20...

Hi, I recently bought an i7 8700k and am trying to overclock it to at least 4.7GHz. Unfortunately I can not get it stable at anything past 4.5GHz even at 1.4v. This is using fixed voltage. I am using OCCT to test stability and so far I have only got to 4.5GHz using 1.3v. Another thing I've...

Hi folks, I hope you are well and can help provide your 2p worth on my 'situation' (well and truly in the realm of '1st world problems :)) I've recently built myself a Core i7-8700k system on an MSI Z379 Gaming M5 motherboard with 16GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM at 3000mhz 14-14-14-34 2T. The...

Good day all, I've just invested in the i7-8086k processor after my 6800k failed and was causing freezing issues. I use my rig for gaming, and my main game is WoW (which I know is more CPU heavy than GPU). Now, I'm a complete novice when it comes to overclocking, and reading output and such...

I want to buy a new gaming computer/pc for under 150 and be able to play fortnite around 45-60 fps at medium settings. I found this one: £149 Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 @ 3.00GHz Ram 8GB DDR3 Graphic Card 2GB Nvidia GT710 VGA & HDMI What fps would i be able to get with this? Any...

Thought this was a lot of CPU for the price : AMD FX-9590 Vishera 8-Core 4.7 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W £120 Thoughts? Would a budget AM3+ mobo handle this? Worried about the wattage and not what you would call knowlegable. Any advice appreciated.

So Here goes, I bought a few years ago this package from Overclockers - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/titan-gamer-plus-t1-intel-core-i5-4690k-4.0ghz-complete-gaming-system-fs-084-og.html Since then, my requirements have changed slightly, I spend about 80% of my time editing videos for...

As the title says, I'm having trouble getting a good mount with my newly purchased supremacy evo. I'm mounting to an i7 2700k on a gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD5-B3. I've had most of the hardware for a number of years now and just added an extra radiator for silent cooling and changed from the trusty...

Hi, I've been eyeing up a new GPU for a while and now that the prices are starting to come down I might finally be able to justify paying the price. My question is, which Nvidia GPU would be bottlenecked by the rest of my hardware? Motherboard: Asus P6T Deluxe CPU: i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz Memory...

Hi guys, Seem to have a potential problem? I was in the process of fitting my new XSPC AM4 Raystorm Neo CPU block but at the very first point of fitting the long screws into the motherboard back plate (which it also says to use a nylon washer) it doesn't seem right to me? The back plate is...

I've just finished building a new gaming PC and cannot get it to work somehow. Every time I power it up everything seems to work but there is no display, just a black screen. I've tried testing all the components apart from the processor and ram with other computers and they're all working fine...

I had big problem with google chrome because it was working in background eating around 50% of cpu without even opening it or appearing in anywhere except the task manger, i uninstalled it and installed firefox, now firefox makes the same thing. as you can see in the image <...

Hi guys, I know it's important to flush out new radiators before fitting to the loop but do you need to flush out the other parts like the CPU block or GPU block, reservoir etc as well? Thanks :)
