I have a 500W PSU I currently have an i5-2400 CPU I’m wondering if a rx580 gpu would work with this psu I’ve calculated that both the CPU and GPU power will equal a total of 535W will this cause issues? Will this even be possible or do I need more W (Btw im aware of the bottle neck with...

Hi Is there anyone (or does none know anyone) who can professionally solder a new cpu to a new motherboard? It’s for a Lenovo laptop. thanks!

I have an issue that needs fixing asap cause it's stressing me the hell out, ALSO keep it mind I just build this PC today using youtube tutorials but it still managed to take me 7 hours, so i have NO idea about anything tbh... ( please try to use simple language :( ) So the issue is, when i...

I'm looking to start upgrading my system for Zen3 and wondering if it's worth going for a 3600 as an interim CPU until the ZEN3 is release. My 4790k has been running beautifully for 5 years at 4.7ghz but the initial zen3 is getting me all excited. My plan is: B550 Tomahawk 16gb DDR4 3200...

I have a low end PC and recently bought Flight Simulator. As expected it doesn't run great. It's playable on low settings but the scenery etc is dreadful and the GPU is running at close to 100% most of the time, CPU around 80%. I have very limited knowledge so excuse me if any of these...

Hello everyone! I'm trying to push my old system for more as I cannot afford a big upgrade yet. I am new to overclocking and although I have watched various tutorials over the internet I have bumped into some issues. First, I have an asrock z77 as mobo so I have overcloking options enabled in...

As mentioned in the title I recently built my first PC but the CPU is always at 4.2Ghz (the max for a ryzen 5 3600) and never goes down. Going to power options in the control panel, switching between all the options does nothing except in power saving mode where it halves the clock speed to...

So as stated in the title I currently have a ryzen 5 3600 and am looking for an upgrade sometime soon. I have already upgraded to an MSI B550 Gaming Edge WiFi and have an NZXT X73 so cooling isn't really that big of an issue. Would I be better off waiting for the new 4000 series of cpu's or...

Hi everyone, I am hoping for some sage advice please. I recently upgraded my graphics card from NVIDIA GTX 770 to NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER, but am now wondering whether I should also change my CPU? I play Microsoft Flight Sim X (a lot) and Elite Dangerous/Horizons (a bit). With the flight sim...

Hi. built a brand new pc today with a Ryzen 5 3600. Due to budget issues, it is using the Stealth cooler which i know isn’t great. I’ll be looking to upgrade this soon. I did use Arctic MX-4 paste to replace the stock paste, which I thought would help things. I’ve had to lock the frequency at...
