Hey all, I bought my Y50-70 a few days ago because I needed a new toy for college. Unfortunately I was greeted with a insanely slow hard drive. Last night I replaced the hard drive, I turned the laptop on and the screen was black, as in the display had no output whatsoever however the hard...

I would get a i7... I feel like It would be weird to get a Xeon and game on it because its more of a server processor. Generally for gaming performance a i7 will do better if that is what you will use it for. It also has hyperthreading if you are into graphic design. EDIT: Sorry just realized...

I currently run a 8350 @ 4Ghz and a 270x and run every game I own maxed out and well above 60 FPS... and I am a huge gamer. I'd say go for 8320 and a 280 or 270x

109C can't be accurate at all, It would have shut off by then. Try using speedfan to find your temps http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php

The RMA is your choice if you want to. I know I would. The CPU temps with the 212EVO should never really go above 50c stock so thats great! GPU's are use to withstanding temperatures like that. Expecting to have a GPU the same temp as a CPU playing games is highly unlikely. Hope you have fun...

Okay... That really doesn't help much.

Hi! So yesterday I bought 8Gb DDR3 Corsair Vengeance LP RAM. I installed it in my new build that I am almost finished I just need my GPU. I turned on my machine just to see how loud the stock fans are and I got a long beep and 2 beeps, which apparently means GPU problem and it makes sense...

Great! What are your temps?

So I am almost finished my new AMD build and I decided I want the airflow to be as good as it gets. The case itself comes with 3 fans, 1 x 120mm, and 2 x 200mm one has a LED. I am going to install a CM Hyper 212 EVO on my FX-8350 since I want to keep my temperatures low but I do not want to pay...

The installation is really complex haha. Takes a bit to get right.

It was probably setting the thermal paste. It is usual to install a heatsink bracket doing the opposite screws like installing a tire on a car.

Did you set the screws to AM3+ boards? It shouldn't then. The springs can modify what Socket you are using.
