Your setup is very powerful, perhaps some people are running on lower settings (god knows why) or they have overclocked? Try and use programs like CPU-Z and GPU-Z to check if either is bottlenecking (I seriously doubt this btw). Also, check your CPU temps to see if it is thermal throttling.

Is this to replace an existing mobo? If so, take pictures if you need to remember where cables go, unplug all cables from the mobo, unplug any components e.g. GPU, other PCIe cards, remove the cpu cooler and cpu, then unscrew the mobo... Seriously, I just recommend watching a video on either...

Yes, but you don't need 600w for that rig. I would get a lower wattage PSU e.g. 400-500w that is higher quality. Here's a good list for Power Supplies: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

If you want to control fan speed then a splitter like you suggested? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005FWXWPS/ref=twister_B01KNLRUPS?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Otherwise you can directly plug them into your PSU, but they will run max speed all the time (not a problem unless the noise bothers you). I...

Hi, I recently upgraded to a Fx 8350, and ran a prime95 test, which got me a max temp of about 64 degrees which was fairly concerning. However, in CS GO I am getting spikes of 70 degrees! I wonder whether I may have applied to much thermal paste, I went for a pea size but that might have been a...

Hello all, I have been attempting to install java using the installers. However, whenever I run the installer, the UAC interface appears, which I accept, and then nothing happens. I have tried: Disabling Windows Defender Disabling UAC Disabling my firewall Using older installers (I have also...

It also appears that changing USB ports does not affect it, whether they be 3.0 or 2.0.

Hi, I recently purchased a pair of Steelseries Siberia V2 Heat Orange USB headphones, and from day 1 the microphone has been giving off a static noise that appears then disappears when it is on mute. I cannot hear this unless I listen to the device, but people talking to me on skype can if it is...
