1st and foremost,what are your temps when trying to O.C. 2nd...voltages.What are they ? Do you have enough power ? Personally...I like to use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.I feel it gives me more control over voltages,clock speeds etc.I have an i7-4790K on a low end Asus board with water cooling...

Not dealt with per se,but somewhat controllable with 3rd party software and some tweaking. I really liked Windows 7 too,but IMO,10 is better.

I found that Windows 10 'update' last year was horrible.It messed with my network controllers (big no-no) and had a few other bugs as well.I quickly reverted back to Windows 7 in less than 12 hours. That being said,I built a new machine in September of last year.I had a brand new SSD and wanted...

Let's see...IMHO and from reading A LOT of forums and feedback...the 6850K is overpriced for the performance you actually get compared to the 5xxx series chips,way too much RAM,and I believe you're skimping on the PSU.I'd drop 1000 watts in myself,and since the 6xxx series chips are notoriously...

Either learn to get into 'services' and turn stuff off,download some 'legal' software to make some tweaks to the OS like I've done all the way back to XP...WinTweaker comes to mind and so does Black Viper (for services).IMHO,Windows 10 is efficient,snappy,fast and customizable.If you're a power...

.....no.It might freeze YOUR PC,mines sailing along smoothly as always since I bought the retail version in September.Wow...almost a year now,and I haven't looked back.

yeah...I'm not digging the Start menu either.Overall though,I'm liking it fine.No glitches to speak of.

That would be for Windows 10 Pro and I'm sure Enterprise users.

I absolutely agree.You can't have 'overkill' on PC hardware,unless you plan on NEVER upgrading.

Personally,I don't believe any video card is overkill.It's like having an Octacore processor for Photoshop.Yes...it's overkill...for the time being.But if you decide to upgrade in the future,then you're set for that scenario.I'm waiting on two 1070's right now for SLI.I have two 1080...

Question: I'm going to purchase an Intel i7-6950K (when they become available).The memory types supported according to ARK are DDR4 2400/2133.If I drop in 3400,will the CPU utilize it,or only up to 2400 ?This has been confusing me for some time now.My 4790K runs DDR3 2400 flawlessly (with...

I have a Seagate Barracuda and a WD Black.The WD makes pretty good noise when I'm copying to it.It's the older of the 2 and my main drive is an SSD.I'm soon replacing the 2 mechanical drives with SSD's.Also the WD is hotter,so it's time to replace that one.Or get an external drive.Not sure...

Not a problem.

I have this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438018. It's $10.00 cheaper and has a 10 year warranty.It is a solid PSU and fully modular.I have it in Eco mode,and even after hours of gaming,I don't think the fan even spins up.It stays cool and it's quiet.I got a good...

Holy cow! That's wayyyyy too much paste. Put a dab on about the size of half a pea,then gradually tighten heat sink in an X pattern.
