Hi, I've had my 8700k for over a year now. This issue has only risen recently. Now and again, the operation of windows will slow to a crawl, with lots of input lag and delay. I will check my task manager, and my CPU will be at 100%. There will either be a "system interrupts" task using 100% of...

I thought this was impossible until I looked around and heard that some socket 1151 boards support ddr3. This would save me a lot of money. I searched MSI's website but it says nothing about this board supporting ddr3. Just to make sure I don't miss out, I thought I'd come here. Any help would...

Wow man that video was a real eye opener: what do u recommend for pure fps? the 4790k I guess as it will be cheapest? Or I could even look into a 2600k? I'm really considering just leaving my CPU as it is now and selling my 1070- looking to get a 1080ti. But would my current Xeon bottleneck...

For the past 2 years, I've had a Xeon E3-1220 v3. Long story. Since Christmas, and my Bday, is approaching- I'm looking for an upgrade. Purely for gaming. I currently have a 1070 and 8GB 1333mhz dual channel ddr3, but I'm looking to upgrade my gpu aswell in the near future. I know I have a few...

No idea. Bought the pc second hand. There is no visual identification I can find and I tried belrac advisor which was recommended by someone but that didn't work either. I'm pretty sure it's HP, but that's all I know. Sounds like a good idea though, do you have any ideas for me to find out?

I've been thinking about getting a new CPU. At the moment I have a Xeon e3-1220 V3, and I'm looking to upgrade to something like a 4790k. I understand this would save me a lot of money, not having to buy a new motherboard and ddr4 ram for the newer architectures while still getting great...

Okay i pinged google using my laptop connected directly to my router and every 10 or so seconds I'd get "connection timed out". This rules out my motherboard and home plug system I presume. Is there a way to connect to the internet without my router to rule it out before contacting my ISP? Thanks.

Out of the blue, in all games, the connection indicator in game will go red and I will get a large lag spike every 15 or so seconds, but my ping is constant and under 40. The only thing that changed is I got a new 144hz monitor, but this problem didn't happen on the first day, so I don't think...

Could I just buy a decently priced one like you said? Any tips on what to look for?

Thanks for your help and time man
