So overclocked my 4770k to 4.2GHz at adaptive 1.280 volts. HWinfo shows voltage locked to 1.280V at full turbo, however it also shows that very randomly- once every 15-20 mins or so during use like gaming the voltage will spike up to about 1.35volts and back down for a second I've tried...

Upgrading my system bit by bit and not going to upgrade CPU+ Mobo until next gen intel at least; But already got some new fans and a new case- I got 3x corsair SP120 RGB (3 Pin connectors) and 2 Fractal GP-12 (also 3 pin connectors). Motherboard schematic is below; I also got a watercooling...

Before I start I should mention I know about absolutely nothing about networking. So I bought a TP-Link TL-WN881ND 300Mbps wifi adapter. Installed it on my rig along with all the drivers and works perfectly at home, with my home wifi. However I recently moved to my term time place, there's...

Don't know much about graphic cards clocks, but here's my question: Say, a GPU's speeds was specified at exactly 1700 MHz base and 1900 Mhz boost, does that mean when the GPU is under load, the highest speed it will go to is 1900 MHz? Or will/ can it exceed the 1900 MHz stated? If so, when...

Just recently upgraded to a new rig, with a new hard drive so clean installed Windows 7 pro. However spotted a memory leak almost instantly. The svchost process was taking over 1.5GB ram, and narrowed the service to wuauserv, which is the Windows update service. Thing is, I need to update my...

Ignore this post, turns out I have a memory leak, with svchost.exe process, and specifically with the wuauserv service.

Just finished a new build, I reused my i5 4670k from my previous PC, it's not overclocked and it's only 2 years old and ran perfectly before. Still runs perfectly now, as when i play games and run benchmarks; there's nothing wrong with it. However, when my system is at idle, my CPU is still at...

Currently running 2x 4GB RAM in dual channel, both ddr3 1600mhz. I found a old 2GB ddr3 stick of ram, pretty sure it's a different speed, am I able to add this stick to my mobo, or will this make my system unstable or have negative affects?

Typical games like Rainbow six siege, but of GTA V, BF4, BF1 soon and a few others less demanding like cs go.

So I bought a EVGA GTX 1060 mini (6GB for those that care), the standard clocked one, not the superclocked one, simply because it was on offer and was about £35 cheaper. I'm not too bothered about the higher clock, only about the heat sink included. Rather than the copper pipe upgraded heat...

My new case has 4 case fans, which each require a molex power supply, however my PSU only has 3 molex heads, should I get a molex splitter, and are they safe to use? The splitter will be powering two 60mm fans, will using the adapter still make them spin at normal speeds, but draw 2x power...

So i'm building a mATX in the thermaltake a30i case, it only has allowance of 90mm height for a heat-sink+ fan, so I've chosen to go for a Noctua NH-L9i. Link to case specs: http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002115 Only problem is, the case fans, especially the 200mm...
