I recently had loud noise coming from my rig too., in my case its coming from my PSU fan. you have 2 options replace the fan(s) causing the noise or oil the fans yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPyHBH3WwBM Cause a meltdown? nah just find the screaming fan and choke it :P

it wasn't to bad to install., if your case doesn't have a hole were the CPU is in the back you'll have to take the motherboard off to put it on ,But mounting the evo isn't as bad as some make it out to be. I had to replace the cooler master fan after 5 month though because it got loud and...

I have an i7 4790k and when i built my rig i used the Stock Cooler for like 4 months., i used to get 45-53c idle and would get 60-67c while playing games.as soon as i could afford a cooler i bought hyper 212 evo., now i get 30c idle and 45-55c temps while demanding playing games. you can...

''Apple computers have the type of processor that is soldered to the motherboard'' ^^^ this is why Everyone Should Really BOYCOTT Apple ,Very Anti-consumer :P

I believe I7 CPU's for just gaming is a bit much., however its very nice to have a overpowered CPU :P. I have an I7 4790k and its a beast for gaming on avg i only use like 5-10% of CPU usage for most games(only game to hit 40-50% usage was minecraft with 300+ mods)., it can be overkill...

Are you ordering the parts online? I built my i7 4790k system from Micro Center for like 700$.,I highly recommend going to a Micro Center if you live near one.they will have Great sells in the summer or spring. Anyhow i would go with the newest and best CPU for gaming i7 6700k (i7 4790k is a...

I7 4790K Has very good single thread performance because of the high stock Clock.i7 4790k can easily overclock to 4.6-4.7 with much little effort from a novice overclocker like myself.,you can even get good single thread performance from Sandy Bridge/haswell/broadwell/skylake CPU's by just...

Don't be Fooled..,VR only reqs a quad core and no game DEV that wants to make CASH would make games to run on more then 4 cores if only a small amount own 6+ core., and by the time games will req 6-8+ cores its likey i7 5820k will be very outdated. if all your ever going to do is games i'd...

I only know windows 7., heres a bit of troubleshooting. go to control panel>administrative tools >event viewer >window logs> then click on system look for the time your system shut down or froze and there should be an error to let you know which piece of hardware is failing(google the error...

i7 4790k with a hyper 212 evo is best imo., even if you dont overclock. But i5 4690k will do just as GOOD if you just want to game,But yeah you need a a Graphics Card,..you can go cheap by buying a i5 4690k/i7 4790k and running on the integrated graphics for awhile,but buy a GPU as soon as you...

@Mac266 ooh please don't be one of those internet trolls who believes cpuboss is being paid off by intel and nvidia to make all the their products look better then they are....If anything those lovely youtubers who get free 980 ti and 99x platform CPU are even more bias. only a fool would...

@Mac266 My computer handles Minecraft with MODS with little to no issues.....Infact the only time i notice lag or half a sec slow downs is from massive nukes/jetpack and the gravity gun/portal gun mods..but those are more like mod performance issues NOT RAM problems. anyway on the...

I7 4790k is the best...imo I have an i7 4790k and when my nieces and nephews come over I let them play Minecraft and i installed over 300 mods for them.,The highest my Processor usage CPU was 45-60%<<<Mods will eat up ur processes ....Minecraft is very CPU based not so much GPU so the better...

Games usually like Higher ghz clock frequency for most Fps in games. i7-4790k is 4.0-4.4ghz boost clock. i7 5820k is 3.3-3.6ghz boost clock. Generally you can overclock yourself to get the best gaming experience however you will need to buy a good Aio Cooler or good Air Cooler to get high...

yeah if your CPU is at stock 4.0-4.4ghz with stock cooler its likely to be running @ 1.3v+ CPU voltage core. I had the stock cooler on my i7 4790k for like 6+ months b4 getting hyper 212 evo and the idle was about 45c.,but I was able to reduce the CPU voltage core with Asus A.I suite(1 click...
