    Question 3060ti underperformance/crashing

    I recently got a 3060ti (yes I know it’s outdated now). My system currently is a prebuilt that I’ve upgraded, and I’m concerned that I’m not getting the full performance out of the 3060ti. The system has 16gb ram, a R5 2600, and a 550w PSU. When I looked up minimum power requirements for the...

    [SOLVED] Why can't I change the color of my case fans?

    I just recently moved my PC into the cooler master masterbox 5 lite RGB, and it has 3 coolermaster rgb fans in the front. I connected them to the rgb header on my asus b350-a prime motherboard and they're a static green. I can't seem to change the colors in asus aura. Is the software not...

    Where can I get a legitimate Windows 10 (not an upgrade)?

    A lot of the keys i've looked at online say "upgrade" and some say "oem." What's the difference? (Since they're all the same price)

    Where can I get a legitimate Windows 10 (not an upgrade)?

    I recently built a gaming pc, and used windows 10 downloaded from microsoft. I keep seeing a message that says "activate windows" and it says I need a product key. Where can I get one that will work on a brand new PC with no previous version of Windows installed?

    Question about MOBOs

    There's really no way to tell. LGA 1151 could stick around for a while, or it could be replaced in just two generations. I would go with AMD's AM4 if I were you, it's been said that AM4 will stick around for several generations.

    First PC build final build, how does it look?

    Looks great. I built something very similar to that recently. I assume you've picked out a mid tower case?

    Gaming Laptop not running game well

    It's a GTX 1050? Paired with an i7?? Besides that, have you checked if your laptop is plugged into power while playing? Sometimes that's the issue. Or try turning your settings down. Make sure your laptop isn't set to run games on integrated graphics, that's also a very common issue.

    Pentium G4560 good?

    Yes, it can handle a lot for such a cheap price. I've seen it paired with a 1070 with only a small bottleneck. Should be able to handle all the latest games. It does only have 2 cores, but it's hyperthreaded so virtually, it has 4. The only thing you'll have issues with is streaming or heavy...
