    PC lockups, think it could be motherboard related?

    For the past 3 days, my PC has been locking up and emitting a loud buzzing sound through the speakers as the sound that was playing gets stuck. There are a few things pointing me towards the motherboard, one being that it's the oldest component in my system alongside the processor and that...

    Will a Xeon E3-1230 V2 work on an OEM board?

    Are you sure I wouldn't be able to replace the BIOS chip with the one from the retail P8H61 M pro? The Xeon is listed as compatible with the retail BIOS and this board is identical to it apart from a few heatsinks and obviously the BIOS.

    Will a Xeon E3-1230 V2 work on an OEM board?

    I have an OEM Asus board that's pretty much the P8H61 M-Pro but with a different Bios disabling stuff like memory overclocking. Was just wondering if it would work with the Xeon? Or would the OEM bios cause issues? Cheers.

    i7 3770 or Ryzen 5?

    I'm looking to upgrade my i5 3340s as it's getting a bit bogged down in games like BF1 and PUBG and was thinking about Ryzen. But I've just seen that a used 3770 can be got for €170.
