I've been needing more storage space in my PC, and I was looking into spending about $100 and settled on a 4tb drive. However, before purchasing I noticed this: https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Enterprise-ST6000NM0034-Applications-Refurbished/dp/B07F6W16FZ/ A 6TB drive for only $85, and seemingly...

Using an MSI Z270. I just recently installed a new 240 GB M.2 SSD. When I enter my bios, I can see the SSD is detected, so it is working and my computer knows that it is there. However, when I actually launch my PC I cannot find the new drive anywhere. How do I access it? Separate question for...

So if I want to find my limit, I just keep increasing by 35, then running a stress test, and if there's any decrease in FPS from the last time then it's unstable? What stress test should I use? So far I've found Unigine Superposition.

What are some good safe numbers to set my GTX 1080 to? I don't really care for all of the stress testing, I just want something that will boost performance without being too extreme. Right now based on a video I have core clock at +205 in afterburner and memory clock at +407, but these numbers...

I do a lot of virtual reality with my PC, and there is a great bluetooth headset that I have that works really well with it. The only issue is that my PC does not have any embedded bluetooth. A couple of months ago, I attempted to fix this problem by purchasing a little USB bluetooth device. I...

I'll most likely just leave it as it is. I'm fine with the temperatures and the performance. I don't want to do any more overclocking and I don't really care to change where I am now. I just wanted to know if my CPU was being overclocked without my knowledge.

I use an intel core i7 7700k. It's base clock is 4200 MHz, and I have done nothing to change that. However, I use CAM to monitor my PC and it shows the clock speed at 4500 MHz constantly. I checked the BIOS (Using an MSI Motherboard), and I can't see any signs of it overclocking. The only thing...

Update if anybody sees this thread anymore. The old cooler that came with the CPU was installed horribly. Probably about 4x more thermal paste in there than they needed, it was like they used the entire syringe when they put it on. Then, the back plate that held the cooler in place was damaged...
