    [SOLVED] Windows 7 and Skylake USB drivers

    I know this is an aging question that has been asked by many but trust me I’ve exhausted all my resources. I am running an Asus Z-170-e motherboard with a 6600, and I cannot for the life of me get the USB to work properly. I’ve tried installing from USB with the support disk inserted, I’ve tried...

    Should i wait to get a better graphics card?

    Personally, I would just upgrade your graphics card. That I5 is a perfectly capable CPU to handle a 1070TI. You'll save more money that way. Sell the 1050 and just upgrade from there.

    Really low fps in games, very high load rates on my CPU, thinking that is the issue?..

    Limit your frames, or turn your graphics settings. You are probably pushing too many frames to your CPU. I would doubt that your HDD is causing such bad studdering. If anything, your load times would be bad. What % is your CPU idling at?

    I7 7700k way too hot

    If you have a stock cooler on hand, try installing that to see what it results in. If that cools your CPU then that means you need a new AIO loop. Just because the pump is "running" doesn't mean its moving water. I've seen pumps where the impeller shears off the shaft or comes loose. Sounds like...

    I don't know which to get

    I would recommend saving up. Once you put together about $125 get the new Athlon 200GE and a corresponding motherboard. It will be far more worth your time than your near 10-year-old rig.

    Repairing a Mac Book Pro

    Yes, you will need a HDD and Battery. Just make sure to get an OSX install disk aswell, unless you have another mac that you can get a version off the app store.

    unidentified cpu bottlenecking

    Try turning your graphics settings up (Or set a framerate limit in-game). It may be counterintuitive, but your newer GPU may be pushing too many frames to your CPU. Attempt to load down your GPU, which in turn might help your CPU, as the rendering of the frames begins to be the bottleneck, not...
