    Ryzen7 2700X Idle Temperature Too High

    AMD Ryzen Master is the correct program, and about the only one that will show you the correct temperature. On my 2700X, HWiNFO shows the cpu temp as +10 C over Ryzen Master temps.

    Seemingly high temps on Ryzen 2700x stock cooler / no OC

    Pretty much guarantee that the software you are using is faulty. HWiNFO shows my 2700X as +10 C in comparison to AMD's Ryzen Master utility.

    AMD RYZEN 7 2700X Fluctuating Temps

    I just wanted to add that my Ryzen 7 2700X also reads 10 degrees hotter in HWiNFO than in the Ryzen Master utility. At idle in HwiNFO I reports 42 C, in the Master utility it reports as 32C. So, a 10 degree C difference.

    Samsung Fixes 840 EVO SSD Performance Drop With Firmware Patch

    FYI, my 849 EVO would not upgrade with the Magician software. I had to go download the update and install in manually. I worked perfectly. I did a benchmark before and after. My Sequential read speed increased from 389 to 535. My Random read IOPS increased from 59113 to 61657. So, all in...

    computer keeps turning off and on

    It sounds like the motherboard is shorting out or touching the new case somehow. Be sure that the tabs that hold the motherboard up, stand off's, are in the proper place and that you are not over tightening the screws when you screw it down.

    driver video compatible with asus x 54 h (Windows 7 installed)

    Roberta, The first thing I would try is to download the Asus OEM drivers to see if that solves the problem. Be sure to do any "chipset" drivers, "video" drivers, etc.. You can typically find these drivers on the Asus site under Support, etc...

    Fps problems,stuttering lag spike

    Try a quick fix. Remove the video card and clean it out with a can of compressed air. You may have a dust bunny stuck in there somewhere.

    Fujitsu Launching Build-It-Yourself PC Service

    I don't know how they are going to do this. My tower CPU heatsink/fan HAS to be installed onto the mobo BEFORE it's installed in the case. Oh well, who knows?

    MechWarrior 4 Cleared for Free Release

    Anyone remember Battledrome, or similar name? Similar walking chassis and loadouts to MW. The game was a test arena only, a dark circular arena, but it had LAN/Modem hookup and was around the time of MW1 I think. Man I played that for ever with friends over the modem.

    So how's Spore so far?

    Game ran great, no crashes. However, after about 4 hrs I was bored. I guess if you like Sim's type of games you will love this. If you are looking for action then you may or may not.

    Faster Ram -vs- Faster Timings - Which Is Better?

    Just curious if there was a clear winner in deciding what RAM to purchase? Would you go with faster RAM i.e. - (DDR2 1066 -vs- DDR2 800); ... or would you choose faster timings i.e. - (4-4-4-12 -vs- 5-5-5-12)? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
