    Questions about budget upgrade

    About that games are going to require more and more cores, i've received the same answers a few years ago, when I was building my FX system. Well, my system is now old and the the day when "games are going to require more and more cores" never came (except a few titles). I will not make the same...

    Questions about budget upgrade

    I would not hesitate at all if the prices were the same in my country. The build you mentioned is like $ 500 here, not worth it.

    Budget Build For Video Editing $200-250

    I think that you are limiting yourself way too much. The g4560 is your best choise. Or 2nd hand pc. For example I just did that last week, and for 220 usd I bought a PC with: cheap Asus 1155 motherboard (forgot the model) XFX R9 280X Intel G2030 4GB RAM 500GH HDD 600W Cooler master PSU and...

    My lowly FX6300 + 8GB + GTX1050 2GB runs everything smoothly with great graphics!!

    The reason for the very good performance is the resolution(i'm with the same). You cant play on higher than your monitor's resolution. If you want to game on 1920x1080, you have to buy 1920x1080 monitor, but your fps will drop a little bit. Honestly I'm really happy with 1600x900(FX 8320 + R9...

    PSU/UPS - What is more dangerous for my PC in the case of high voltage

    Honestly, I don't know much about UPS's. But your PSU is rated to operate with 200-240 volts. In this range, you should be safe, but keep in mind, that the voltage could vary and if you are powered by 230V in your area, it's normal to go 225-235 or something like that. If you your UPS can...

    PSU/UPS - What is more dangerous for my PC in the case of high voltage

    The UPS in this case would be just another layer of protection, before your PC (after main fuse). Most power supplies (yours too) have OVP(overvoltage protection) so you PC should just shut down i case of overvoltage. I would leave the UPS anyways. I live in an area where we frequently have...

    Asus prime x370 pro FANS questions

    Yes you can, but you have to check the BIOS to see if there are any PWM settings for that header and put it in something like silent mode and check if the fan is spinning with normal rpm's.

    Concerning Coil Whine Issue !

    Usually the GPU is the reason for the noise, but it could also be PSU or even motherboard. I've red somewhere, that you could try to overclock the GPU by just a little bit (a couple of MHz) and it could solve the issue. If it doesn't, RMA the GPU. I would suggest to try with another PSU and...

    You should always buy same brand, same model and same frequency/timing to minimise the chanse for problems, and even then they may not work together.
