    Question Overclocking i5-11600k on H570 mobo.

    I am going to replace the mobo. I think I am going with the GIGABYTE Z590 UD AC. Also... I am currently using the Hyper 212 black edition and I am thinking about getting a Cooler Master MasterAir MA612 Stealth ARGB to replace it. What do you think?

    Question Overclocking i5-11600k on H570 mobo.

    I have seen this "Base Frequency Boost" feature in some Asrock boards. You can find it in the OC Tweaker section in the BIOS but mine doesn't have it. I am not really looking to overclock this CPU, I just want to know if motherboard manufacturers can independently allow users to overclock K...

    Question Overclocking i5-11600k on H570 mobo.

    Hello, I am aware that the only chipset that allows overclocking the K models via multiplier are the Z series on Intel side. I went over the BIOS of my Asrock H570 Phantom Gaming 4, which is a cheap board and noticed it had the CPU Ratio setting available. Am I missing something? I was able to...

    Upgrade to FX to Intel or upgarde the GPU

    Hi there, It will depend on the kind of games you play, but the FX 8350 can still game in a budget. More and more games are becoming multi-core/thread friendly so you should be able to stick with it for a while. Heck I am still gaming with my FX-4170 + GTX 560 TI @ 1080p! With some games I...

    Overclocking Ryzen 3 using A320 Motherboards?

    Hi there, It's time to upgrade my old system, but right now my budget is limited. I got myself the Pentium G4620 with the H270 motherboard but I am not happy with it because I do more than just gaming. I was checking out the AM4 chipsets and noticed that the A320 supports no overclocking, yet...

    Athlon X4 845 High temps, wrong temp readings or something else?

    Hi there I have noticed that the core temps are very high whenever I put a little load on the CPU. If I let it idle, it goes down to 17C or less which makes no sense. It goes above 70C always! I am using speedfan because most programs can't seem to detect the temp sensors on this cpu. Speccy...

    I am going with the Seasonic unit again. I found a review of the Enermax 450W on HARDOCP and it seems that it's a no no.

    Power Supply not enough for my system?

    I think I will get another power supply. I am looking at the SeaSonic M12II 520 because I have one myself. The other one is an ENERMAX TRIATHLOR ECO ETL450AWT-M 450 Watts. The latter being cheaper, but will it be enough for my build?

    Power Supply not enough for my system?

    I got the W1 model I think, with 430w. It works fine with the GT730 but not when I tested all the three models of the RX family of cards. The GPU temps on the RX 460 right now are 47C idle and 71C load stress tested with OCCT, in an ambient temp of 30C. But I had the RX 480 and 470 fail on me...
