    [SOLVED] Can't stabilize at the expected 3200 CL14? Should something be RMA'd?

    Thanks for pointing these things out. I haven't thought to actually check the guarantees, and from this perspective, it makes more sense why.;

    [SOLVED] Can't stabilize at the expected 3200 CL14? Should something be RMA'd?

    Hi all, I recently got a pair of DDR4 3200 CL14 2x16GB from a 4x16GB G.Skill Ripjaws V Series kit from a friend. These are Samsung B-die so should be able to handle OCing easy. However, using the XMP settings for 3200 CL14-14-14-34, it isn't stable. After some tinkering I finally stabilized in...

    [SOLVED] Radeon RX 580 8GB freezes entire PC on games after a 2-4 sec onset of fps drop/lag

    Okay, was able to get it fixed. It was due to the fact that Radeon software automatically setting a low voltage at a intermediary stage. The tuner has 7 stages from 0 (idle) to 7 (max effort). The games I play would clock only at around stage 1-3 (~900mHZ), and the voltage set for these were too...

At some point it will start lagging, almost like a network lag, where I notice the FPS dropping down to 90s-80s. This happens for 2-4...

    QHD (2560x1440) and 120Hz, worth it and what GPU handles it?

    Hey guys, Gonna be building a desktop for myself mostly for some games (don't play too much nowadays though, no FPS), lots of coding (desktop space a plus), some photoshop/video editing. I'm for certain going to use a AMD FX 8350 OC'd to 4.8Ghz (maybe more) as my processor: great process...

    Slow download speed and consistent hiccups - should I get a tech at this?

    Hey guys, Here's the background: recently I moved back home from college (graduated!) and got complaints from my family about the AT&T internet service they have, and how it was getting slower and slower. I did some speed tests and from a short personal experience, it was pretty bad. There was...
