    Question How can I check if my Integrated Graphics Card is dead?

    The latest stable, yes. There is a BET one from 2021. Think it is worth a try? I have used this integrated graphics last year with no problems, under the same bios firmware.

    Question How can I check if my Integrated Graphics Card is dead?

    I ask because whenever I try to install ANY driver for my Integrated Graphics 630 I get a black screen that will persist until I boot using a bootable USB stick and disable the driver, reversing it to the Microsoft Basic Adapter. The motherboard is an Asus Z270H with the i5 7600k on it. I...

    i5 6600 + DD4 2400mhz + Z270 Rog Maximus Ix Hero

    1- Wow I didn't know that. Good thing that was you said it wouldn't be major problem as they are everywhere and everyone needs them 2- Around 1,2k USD. We don't live in US but in South America although we are buying it in US and the prices are kinda similar to US prices. The only concern is...

    i5 6600 + DD4 2400mhz + Z270 Rog Maximus Ix Hero

    1- Is there even a chance of a stick not working in dual channel with the other even being exactly the same model? 2- This is a scenario for a friend. She is starting from 0. She is in a budget, yes... every dollar counts. Usage should be mostly for games like Witcher, F1 and Tomb Raider being...

    i5 6600 + DD4 2400mhz + Z270 Rog Maximus Ix Hero

    Considering I'm planning to upgrade to a Kaby Lake chip soon, is this a good combination? Also will I be able to keep the 2400mhz with this motherboard and processor? Last question: Still with the upgrades in mind do you guys think it's better to start with 1x8gb or 2x4gb? Later I would buy...

    i5 7600k @4.8 Ghz temps. after overclocking

    Hey mate, I got the same CPU and OC'd it to 4.8 at 1.285v and I was about to ask about the spikes, it seems to be a normal thing then... My temperatures keeps at 24~26C idle and spikes up to 30~32 sometimes. I've noticed that it doesnt occurs while I am gaming. It never goes beyond ~57~58C while...

    Gigabyte 1060 WindForce idle temperature

    Guys, is 31-33C OK for this card while in idle? I've seen people reporting less but with other brands tho. I wonder if my card is that high because of my radiator setup. I had no option but install it that way: While in game it will reach 73. This is the absolute maximum I've seen so far.

    What kind of cooler?

    Yes, the ''jut a bit'' means exactly around that value: 4.5 And the only reason I would overclock it will be for a game (Cities Skylines). Other than that, the 7600K stock should run just fine as I've seen

    What kind of cooler?

    Ok... Doing a proper research about air coolers in my country I could find some other options. Maybe yeah, I was too inclined to the water cooler train, but I'd better get real and consider what is... right or appropriate for me. So here's what I found to add to my previous list of cooler...

    What kind of cooler?

    My case is the simple S340 from NZXT. I guess it's important to say that my room temperature will never get above ~20C (68F). Sadly I just can't find any of those good brands of air coolers... Or it would just fit my needs I suppose

    What kind of cooler?

    Here's the full spec: Asus Strix Z270H, i5 7600K, Asus GTX 1060 6gb and aDDR4 KingstonFury 8GB. I live in south of Brazil, so very close to Paraguay where I can find parts for a fair price. As I said before, I could push to 133 USD for the H105, so let 135 USD be the budget for the cooler...

    What kind of cooler?

    First off, please, ignore my english because it's my secondary language :) Now to the question: I've got an i5 7600K that I plan to overclock just a bit (and even that, only if needed) and I don't really know what kind of cooler would fit my need. Sadly I live in a region where my options are...
