My CPU is constantly at 35% usage due to a windows process called Service Host: Local System (19). I am not sure how to fix the high CPU usage. I figured it was just my PC preparing to update, but I have no updates available. At this point, I really don't know what to do. Edit: I just realized...

I overclocked my 4690k with a H100i GTX and a Maximus VII Gene. Its at 4.5 ghz with 1.265 vcore and 1.29 CPU cache voltage. Suprisingly, I couldn't push it to 4.6 at those voltages and I am a little disappointed. I still have a couple questions though. Should I increase the core voltage and try...

Recently, my GTX 980 Ftw has been experiencing low buzzing while under load. I don't think its the fans, as they are only at 30%, but I am not sure what could be causing it. Also, it does not sound high pitched like coil whine does. Has this happened to any one else? Specs just in case...

I have had this cooler for about 1 and a half years now and it seems to be getting noisier. I don't know if this is normal, or if I have air bubbles in the pump. I took a video of the noise and the link is as follows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IZ4ZQIZ17k The first part of the video is...

I can snag a GTX 1080 FE for $510 right now and am not sure whether it is worth it, what with the 1080 ti and vega on the horizon. I use a Predator X34.

I plan on upgrading from a GTX 980 to a 1080 or 1080 ti and a crap monitor to an X34 or PG348q. Although, I am not sure whether the 1080 ti would be worth the wait. I would just be able to afford it if it is no more than $1000. I also have an i5-4690k, so maybe it will be just a little bit of a...

I switched my PC from a Corsair Air 240 to a 400c. My GTX 980 FTW now runs at 75 degrees Celsius when at load compared to 65 degrees in the Air 240. I know the temps are ok, but the GPU fan speed is also at roughly %50 under load, which is my real problem, because they are so damn loud! I am...

My current Seagate hard drive has been very noisy lately and I have decided to replace it with a WD Black drive. I installed the new WD and formatted it and it was working fine. I then used Acronis True Image WD Edition to clone my old Seagate drive to the new WD drive. The WD drive now makes a...

Could any owners of these fans tell me what they consider to be the highest RPM these fans can run at while still being inaudible or quieter than my h100i GTX pump? I plan to run the fans at this RPM constantly and figuring it out would be a pain because my hard drive is VERY noisy, but I will...
