    Blocked CPU Fan

    Thanks for the quick answer! What you said makes sense, because I didn't realize anything was wrong. I thought the computer would give me some sort of error since the fan wasn't spinning but I didn't see anything.

    Blocked CPU Fan

    I put together my first computer 3 days ago and I thought everything was running fine, but today I finally got a temperature monitoring program so I can see how stress tests go. My CPU was idling at 60 degrees Celsius! I opened up the case and found out that a cable was blocking the CPU fan. I...

    Is the Nvidia GTX 760 for me?

    Last question before I buy anything. Will the Nvidia 660 run Tomb Raider on high (maybe not ultra) 1080p with 60+ FPS? I would like to save $50 if it's not the biggest difference.

    Is the Nvidia GTX 760 for me?

    Since I'm leaning towards the 760 right now, is this a good deal? $230 after rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133492

    Is the Nvidia GTX 760 for me?

    I'm interested in playing games like Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed, and I was aiming on spending less than $200 for a graphics card, but for $230 the 760 is somewhat close. I was thinking the AMD 270 was okay for those games though, what do you think?

    Is the Nvidia GTX 760 for me?

    I have an Intel i5-4670 processor, and I was thinking of getting an AMD Radeon 270 card but the prices are higher than they used to be. Since a certain model of Nvidia 760 is $237 right now, I feel like it is a better deal in comparison to the 270s. If I want to play games on the highest...

    Graphics card for casual 1080p gaming

    I primarily play League of Legends and I know it runs on nothing, but if I wanted to play Tomb Raider or some newer games with 60FPS on 1080p, what graphics card should I get? I don't want to overspend on a graphics card too strong for my purposes, so what are your suggestions? Should I get a...

    Intel i5 4670 or 4570S for mini ITX build

    Thanks for the answers! I think I'll go with the 4670 while it's $205 right now, since I don't plan on overclocking the system.

    Intel i5 4670 or 4570S for mini ITX build

    Like the topic states, I am making a mini ITX build in the Cooler Master Elite 130 case. I plan on using stock coolers, so would it be better to get the 4570S that produces less heat, or go with the more powerful 4670 (non overclock version)?

    Cooler Master Elite 130 heat issues

    Thanks for the quick reply! I wasn't sure because a lot of other builds using this case used AIO water cooling.

    Cooler Master Elite 130 heat issues

    I am planning on building my first PC next week, and I wanted a small build. I was planning on getting the CM 130 because it is under 10" tall, which is the max height I can have to fit in my shelf. If I am air cooling an i5-4570 with the stock air cooler and have a AMD R9 270 graphics card...

    What CPU is best for my needs?

    I have narrowed down my choice to either the 4570 or 4670K, thanks to these replies and some more research. I don't think I'll overclock anytime soon, but there's only a $10 difference on Amazon right now. If I did get the 4670K, I should get a Z87 motherboard right? Sorry for the late...

    What CPU is best for my needs?

    Hello, I am planning on building a computer for the first time, and I was wondering what CPU I should get. I usually multitask with many programs running at the same time (SolidWorks, internet browser, Skype, music, League of Legends, Hearthstone, MS word and excel). I was thinking of getting...
