Why are there no temperature comparison graphs?

Hey guys, I completed my new build this morning and I cannot get the ram to run anywhere near what it is rated at. Would love to get some tips on this because I am new to overclocking and nothing I do seems to help. So my system is a Ryzen 1700 running on a MSI PC MATE (B350) and the ram is...

A core2quad would be a cheap upgrade, the Q6600 can be found around 20$ on ebay. If you go with the top end Core2Quads, they are simply too expensive to be worth it. I have seen them around 100$. Like ypu one of my computers is LGA775 and I wanted to find a cheap upgrade to my Q6600... I...

Ok, here is what I have in mind for the build: AMD Ryzen 1600 (to be overclocked to around 3.8 GHz depending on termals) Cryorig H7 Cooler MSI - B350 PC MATE Motherboard Corsair - Vengeance LPX (2X8 Gb) DDR-4 3200 CAS 16 Memory Crucial MX300 525 Gb M.2-2280 Boot SSD Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200...

Thanks guys! Will look into what MSI and Asus are offering. I just watched a video that suggested using a 1600 is a better option vs the 1600X, since you can get the same performance out of both chips and the 1600 is 30$ cheaper. It doesn't come with the Wraith cooler but I wasn't gonna use...

Hello guys, I am just about ready to order the parts for my Ryzen build. I have more or less kept up with news regarding Ryzen since it launched but I am not certain what parts to pick when it comes to the motherboard and ram. The build will be for a budget video editing rig. I may overclock...

Hello everyone, I am very excited about the launch of Ryzen and cannot wait to see real world benchmarks. I have waited years for a decent CPU to be released so I can update my aging Sandy Bridge 2600K computer. It looks like Ryzen will be up to the challenge after years of boring Intel...

Thanks, after reading those reviews it looks like the CPU has very little to do with game performance anymore. I was monitoring my CPU yesterday during a game of Civilization V and the CPU was running at 80% on all 4 threads. I am really wondering what the bottleneck is, it's certainly not...

I have 2 computers, I am thinking about upgrading the weakest one which is currently configured like this: Core2Quad Q6600 non-overclocked (2.4 GHz) 8 Gigabytes of Ram Radeon 7750 with 1 Gigabyte of ram I am thinking about putting a NVidia GTX 970 with 4 Gigabytes of Ram in it... Here are my...
