I just got a new ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 OLED laptop and whenever powered on, there are some very faint electrical sounding noises coming from it. I can only hear them if I put my ear right next to to keyboard or to the back of the laptop. I have another ASUS laptop laying around from a few years...

Yes I've been monitoring the CPU temps. I've tried to close everything I can. I would boot into diagnostic mode but the free version of Geekbench shows your results in a web browser (can't get online in diagnostic mode). I've been doing some research and I think I have an idea as to why my score...

I just got a new ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 OLED (i9 13900H with RTX 4060) a few days ago and have been running some benchmarks on it. I've been able to get respectable numbers on all but 1 test. For whatever reason, my laptop can't score very high in the Geekbench 6 CPU multi core test. Supposedly, my...

I just got this Asus Zenbook Pro 14 OLED laptop a few days ago and have been running some benchmarks on it. This thing has an Intel Core i9-13900H processor and an RTX 4060. I've watched some videos on this laptop and seen some reviews online. Supposedly, the i9-13900H can hit up to around 19000...

The thermal paste it shipped with doesn't appear to be very good or is in bad condition. During Cinebench R23 the CPU was hitting close to 100C and thermal throttling almost instantly. I could only barely squeeze out a score (multicore) of around 16200 on an Intel i9 13900H. Some people were...

I just got a new ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 OLED and am looking to repaste it as the stock thermal paste wasn't the best. I have some Arctic MX6 I was planning to try on the CPU and GPU. I don't really want to replace the thermal putty on the surrounding components but if I'm going to take of the...

I recently bought a new monitor and realized today there is a small area on the top edge with a bit of backlight bleed. I can't see it unless the screen is black or dark grey.

I was recently building a pc for a friend and ran into a problem. We were installing a micro atx board into a full sized case. We couldn't get bottom two standoffs out of the case to move them. We just gave up and ended up screwing the board into the four holes we could. Those holes being the...

How would I know if any serious damage was done by my power supply? Everything is working fine right now. No problems. Also, what would be a good 650w power supply for under 120ish dollars? Are there any "cheap", but reliable power supplies? I don't have a ton of money ready to drop on this...

My power supply is an EVGA 500W 80 Plus and has been used for about 2 years and 7 months...

My power supply, when under a large load like Modern Warfare, makes an audible, high pitch buzz. I'm thinking it could be the sound of the electricity going from the outlet to the cable. Honestly, I don't know.

I've noticed some weird inconsistencies with my ram usage in Windows 10. When I go into the task manager, it says I'm using about 33% of my ram at idle. When I look at all the processes, there is no way they all add up to 5 gigs ram (I have 16 gigs). When I go to performance though, it says I'm...

I recently overclocked my ryzen 5 1400 from 3.2Hz to 3.7Hz without touching the voltage. I ran cinebench multiple times successfully and stress tested it with Prime95 all night successfully. Does this mean that I don't need to add extra voltage?
