I am currently building a gaming/streaming/mining PC for a friend and am having issues getting everything going. I am new to the Ryzen platform and have always worked on/built intel PC's in the past so I am less familiar with them. The issues specifically are the bios lagging, super slow mouse...

Hello all. I am desperately trying to fix an issue with games crashing, ocassional low fps out of no where, having to restart to fix it constantly etc. Now I am getting crashing 5 minutes into just about every game. Game runs fine, recently Destiny 2, 165 fps+ and either will 1) suddenly start...

No idea what these parts are worth now and have a friend that is looking to buy it. Specs: Apevia X-HARMONY-GN Tower Intel Core i7 3930K Intel DX79si X79 Motherboard Hyper 212 CPU cooler PNY GTX 770 4GB 8GB Hyper X DDR3 ram (1x8GB) 120GB Hyper X Fury SSD Boot Drive 500GB Toshiba 5400RPM HDD...

I am just trying to hit 720p@60fps for streaming and some light background tasks off this machine. Think the 3930k should be ok at stock? I have my old gtx 770 I am going to throw in it as well. Running the gaming on a different PC. The 39030k runs at 3.2 stock I believe is that really enough...

Hello all. I am currently in a bind trying to hunt down a reasonably priced x79 2011 motherboard for a dedicated streaming PC. I got a i7 3930k from a friend for free as a starting point. I found a HP workstation board, and an intel board that fit the bill and price range on ebay...but have no...

Sorry, let me be more specific. The SSD I purchased says its SATA based, and the motherboard m.2 slot says it wants a "PCIe based" SSD. So with an adaptor like the above I can connect a SATA based SSD to it and will be good to go? Sorry for the confusion, I just want to ensure it will work with...

I recently upgraded to a 7170 board (ASUS 7170-A) and am new to the whole m.2 thing. I purchased a 120GB Samsung 850 EVO m.2 SSD for my OS not really considering that it might be the wrong type (my fault). Is there any kind of adaptor or a workaround that I can do to get it working? I read...

Taking a plunge into skylake from a sandy bridge setup and am looking for some insight regarding the GTX 770 4GB. Background info: I grabbed a 7170 skylake motherboard, an i5 6600K and 16GB of DDR4 the other day and plan on getting some new 1080p monitors soon (currently using two 1366x768...

Well from what Ive read, I may be wrong but I was under the impression that if your going 4.2 or lower for an overclock...it should be safe to keep the voltage on auto. Oh and I did manually overclock, should I just lower the voltage until I get BSOD. Thanks for the reply.

Yeah from what I have read the auto-overclock features on some MOBO's are not particularly optimized, if thats what you're referring too. I wanted to do the simplest and most stable overclock I could only changing the multiplier. Your at 4.5GHz right? My voltage is just slightly lower than...

Hello again, Just completed my first build this week and overclocked my 2500k last night to 4.2 GHz with no voltage changes (just put 42 in the cpu ratio). Running around 53-55C on load/prime95, and around 30C-low 40C on idle post overclock. Originally the CPU was running at around 28C on load...
