HWMonitor always gives me two different readings, the CPU sensor is always incredibly erratic and all over the place (readings will spike from 37-45 in an instant, then back again), and it's readings are always higher than the motherboard's (playing Overwatch the CPU's sensor reported a max of...

When I go to watch something on Prime Video, I won't have access to HD, and when I go to the settings, it tells me that my hardware, HDMI cable, and display must meet HDCP requirements (http://prntscr.com/kd4x7y) but when I go to the Nvidia Control Panel, it says that my monitor and GPU are...

I already have some of the parts for this build, mostly am upgrading the CPU, motherboard, and changing cases (which requires an SFX PSU). If I were to upgrade to an i7 down the line, would the PSU still be sufficient enough? PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel -...

I'm planning on building a Mini-itx build and was stumped on which case I should go for. I love the Bitfenix Prodigy with it's handles, though I heard they were a bit flimsy. The Corsair 250D would be my other choice. It doesn't have handles but it's definitely the better built one. Sadly...

The answer used to be the Corsair Graphite 380t (if a bit expensive), but you can't even find that anymore, and after contacting Corsair they told me the case was discontinued. The other case I was looking at was the Bitfenix prodigy, but even that case is starting to get price gouged, unless...

I've built a little rig for a friend, won't post. No fans, no sound, no LED's on motherboard, no nothing. I checked if Power switch was broken or something, shorted the two pins with a screwdriver, still nothing, switched PSU's with a known working one, still nothing. Checked every possible...

I'm coming from a i5 4440, and I want something that doesn't bottleneck my GPU (1070) and leaves me with a good upgrade path. Obviously this means I have to get a new motherboard and RAM, so I want to make this choice wisely. I've heard that the the i5 actually beats Ryzen in gaming benchmarks...

I understand that there's only one PCI connector cable (that has two 8-pin connectors), but can you use the same cable and connect one of the 8-pins to one of the 1070s and the other 8-pin to the other 1070? Would it work like that? Edit: Typo in the title, PSU is the CX550m, NOT the 500m.

So I have this slightly old pre-built, (i3-2120, 4gb RAM) and I wanted to put a GTX 1060 inside. I installed Windows on the rig, then installed the graphics card afterwards. The PC wouldn't boot past the BIOS splash screen, and I heard several beeps: 1 short beep (I'm aware this is normal) 6...

No idea what's the culprit here. So I have this old PC and it won't display anything. Pressing the power button makes the fans spin (quite loudly I might add), but no display comes out. Here's a list of all the things I did. 1. Switched out discreet graphics card (motherboard had no display...
