I'm looking at B760 boards and trying to figure out what header is required for a Type-C front I/O? In my head this is probably standard at this point, but I'd like confirmation....

Interesting point about the i5/i7... I remember when I bought in 2015 the gap was massive between 7 and 5... From what I'm searching it seems the gap has closed considerably...

I'm not against a 40 series, but the prices are brutal for the small performance increase, or atleast it appears so!

That is a very good point. 1080p 60 is perfectly fine for me. The ocaisional 1440p would be nice, but 4k is not a target nor a priority

It's time, folks. I need a new one and, to be honest, I'm out of the loop. I don't have as much time as I did back in the day to dive into crazy amounts of research and I used this very same back then, with great results, so here we go :) My current system is an i7-4790k with a GTX970. I'm still...

You were absolutely right, that did it. Thanks for your time!

Hello all, Tried to make the title as clear as possible... I've never seen this before. A file keeps popping up on my desktop. If I delete it, it comes back up on a reboot. If I go to the Desktop "folder" through quick access, the file is not listed so I can't see the extension, but the default...

Hello everyone, I'm a bit confused by the info I'm getting online, and just making sure it would not be a huge oversight on my part... I have a very old Hyper 212 Evo that I bought in 2014 to go with my 4790K. I'm looking to keep the cooler, but replace my CPU with either a R5 5600X or a...

Thanks, Eximo! Am I wrong or am I getting a strong vibe of "wait a little longer"? The chip I bought back then was the i7-4790k which, in retrospect was above what I ended up needing anyway. The 50$ premium between the i7 and the i5 could have been better spent elsewhere and I got the K because...

Hello everyone! I was here 7.5 years ago for my first complete DIY build. After a RAM refresh last year and BSODs creeping up on me more and more in the last 3 months that are being narrowed down to faulty hardware, here I am for the next chapter! I am very much aware that GPUs are an absolute...

Can a BIOS flash be a good idea in terms of covering all the bases? I've never done such a thing but I'm willing to learn if it can help.... :)

The only log I could find regarding Memory Diagnostics was an Information that said something along the lines of "Memory Diagnostics was started..." and the time corresponds to when it was ran. As for Drivers, I think I'm in trouble....... (The forum gives me an error when I try to insert the...

I'm getting to that conclusion aswell! I have run the Disk Diagnostics tool, no issues. I also ran Memory Check, I had to walk away from the screen during the process and when I came back my PC had rebooted without showing me results. Not sure if it's a timeout thing or the same BSOD during the...

Update! I ran the Windows Update Assistant again (I can confirm it wants to install the latest 21h1) and stayed in front of the screen the whole way through this time. Sadly, the update crashes at around 30% to a Windows sadface blue screen of "Your system has run into a problem...". The not so...

It took so long I had to let it run for a few hours last night. The tool did not crash, so that's good news. However, I looked for updates and it tells me the last update is a Feature Update for Windows 2004. I downloaded and installed it, it took hours. Then, if I go back to look for updates...
