The following information is from a website that sells motherboards: Number of PCI Express Slots 1 x PCI Express 4.0 x16 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 (@ x2) 3 x PCI Express 3.0 x1 But can you tell me what the "@x2" means? Why isn't it "@x16" for example?

OK, assuming I have a MB with the appropriate headers, what additional equipment do I need to connect my 3 fans together to the board. I have heard of an RGB splitter which I think syncs the lights on each fan. I need help selecting the right splitter. I also believe I need another type of...

How fast will CPUs get before needing water cooled?

Hello I' m new to over clocking and I'm wondering if it's possible to only overclock some cores I've heard that when gaming the number and speed of each core is important. I believe that when gaming some tasks are divided by as many cores as available while other tasks are handled by just one...

My point was if most console players are playing at 60fps then why should PC gamers be playing on anything more? PC Gamers could play at 120fps but is 120fps really needed?

I believe that most monitors used for PC gaming should be 60hz. Anything above 60 fps is an unnecessary premium. Why? Because the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X both have a maximum capability of 60 fps. Buying a 60hz monitor would allow you to take full advantage of those machines capabilities as well...

Cool. Is there anything beside clock speed that can affect performance?

For games that only utilise 2 cores. For example, if CPU A was a dual core cpu running at 5.0ghz and, if CPU B was eight-core cpu running at 2.3ghz Will CPU A always be better at running the games in terms of FPS?

Why can't you build your own Mac PC?

Hi. If I was to buy a monitor to play a pc game, which monitor would I need to buy if I wanted the game to look as intended by the game's graphic developers? I understand that I could walk into a store and any modern 1080p/4k monitor would give me a decent picture, but is there a monitor that...
