I installed a new M.2 the other day and I'm wondering if I need to do anything further for my computer to recognize it as an M.2. I was testing the speeds of it and it is exactly the same as a regular SSD. Is there a setting I need to change in the bios? Also after I installed it upon starting...

About to do a pretty big upgrade from my AMD FX-8350 to an Intel i7-8700K. Pretty sure I got all the right parts just wanted to make double sure here and ask a few questions. I'm planning on getting this CPU...

So I just purchased a "PNY 8GB DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 stick" (Part #: 64D0JKHHJ). I currently only have 1 stick of ram installed "Crucial 8GB DDR3 1600" (Part #: CT102464BA160B). My motherboard : GA-78LMT-USB3 Rev 5.0 Installing this new ram my monitor gives no display. I've tried removing the...

Well damn, guess I'll contact Microsoft and see what happens. Thanks for the help!

When I first purchased my PC I let my cousin build it for me, he claimed to be the god of pc knowledge when it came to computers, so I let him build one. I then learned quite a bit about pc's and realized he doesn't know shit. Long story short, he built me a pretty crappy computer. Along with...

Damn was hoping I wouldn't have to upgrade the cpu. What would you guys suggest? Or would it be better to just get liquid cooling and overclock the hell out of it?

I'm wanting to upgrade my graphics card, currently I have a Radeon 7950 with a FX-8350 cpu. Which one should I go for? I mainly play games like BF4, Black ops 3, fallout 4, rust, GTA V. What are the differences in the cards? I'm always seeing posts about one is better than the other. My price...

I don't know how to get the rev version online, it didn't tell me from what I read. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3858653&pagenumber=4&RSort=1&csid=ITD&recordsPerPage=5&body=REVIEWS#CustomerReviewsBlock

So I'm building my 11 year old brother a computer with some of my old parts and some new parts. I've never built a computer from scratch but I have replaced many parts in my computer so I figured it shouldn't be incredibly hard. Here's what I already have: AMD FX-4130 CPU 450w Power supply...

Okay cool, thanks man

So I just put in the new cpu and turn her on? Nothing else?

I am upgrading my cpu from an AMD FX-4130 to a FX-8350 and I have a GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev 5.0) motherboard. On the gigabyte CPU support list it shows that the 8350 requires an "F3" bios version. My current bios version says "Award Software International, Inc. FA, 4/23/2013." I've never upgraded my...

I have a Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX600). Is it even worth upgrading to those? I don't want to buy a new cpu if I won't be seeing any significant increase in performance.

Well I've just learned I do have a OEM version of windows... wonderful. So now I'm defiantly going to have to stick with amd untill i can afford to replace windows 7 lol

Oh I've just seen other posts about someone telling someone who has the same mobo that it wouldnt handle the 8350. And i'd have to spend the excess on bullets and budlight :P So what cpu out there would I see an increase in fps? I'm even tempted to switch my motherboard for an intel. I...
