    Which is showing the correct RAM speed?

    Hi, I asked this question the other day when it was just task manager telling me my RAM speed is 1333mhz. I have Hyperx 16GB DDR3 1866mhz RAM. CPU-Z says its 933mhz (1866)mhz, MSI command centre says 1866mhz, as well as the BIOS. However, when I type 'wmic memorychip get speed' in CMD, it...

    Is task manager accurate?

    I recently purchased hyper x 16GB 1886mhz RAM.. In the bios it says that it's 1886MHz but task manager says its 1333. CPU Z says 933. I'm confused, I know speed doesn't make the biggest difference in the world... But id just like to be sure it's working at the speed they advertised...

    Installed my H110iGT today.. It seems to be functioning well. 25-35c idle temperatures at 4ghz with i5 4690k. The LED is also turned on. However, Windows fails to recognise.. Or detect the cooler. I've seen other people have this problem and I've tried all they have. I've tried: Edit...

    Any idea what's happening?

    I Cloned Windows from the HDD. I guess that could be pet of the problem. But it's never appeared before today after I installed PSU. I will try and reinstall the driver Edit: I ran optimised default settings

    Recommendations on a good motherboard that goes well with an i5 4690k?

    I'm using a Z97 PC MATE with mine. No issues whatsoever, overclocked the CPU to 4.2 ghz. I had to stop though, as I'm still using stock cooler for the next week. I digress.. There's no issues with using the i5 with Z97 PC MATE. It's £64 though*

    Is 650W enough?

    I ordered my 650W PSU late December.. I didn't think I'd need much power, now I'm questioning that. Amazon is still giving me the option to return the PSU..I've got Z97 and i5 4690k on the way.. Should I return the PSU now, while waiting for other parts, and upgrade to 850? When they arrive my...

    Should I upgrade monitor asap?

    You're right. I shouldn't be trying to fix a problem that I don't know I have yet. It just seemed like one of those times where everything goes down hill at the last minute.
