After setting my CPU Vcore voltage to 1.5000 in the Bios, the processor is running at 1.4740 V and I'm wondering if this means I should lower the setting in the bios to 1.4740 V or just leave it as such. Thanks a lot!

Decisions. Decisions. I'd have to do some research on the release price of the AM4 CPUs. I'm not looking to spend over 300 Canadian dollars on a processor which is approximately 225 US dollars. The cost of me purchasing a new motherboard to support an Intel chip is also a factor. I suppose it...

Considering I use a single screen at 1080P, perhaps this is all a little overkill. I'm looking at all of these AM3+ chips and it's tough to decide. If you were doing 1080P gaming on a single screen what kind of a CPU and GPU would you recommend. In this case is it better to focus on higher CPU...

Hello, I have some "old" hardware and wondering if it will be "bottlenecked" if I upgrade my GPU. Current CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Current GPU: AMD Radeon 6950 2GB Motherboard: Asrock 880G Pro 3 I am considering purchasing an Nvidia 1060 6GB GPU and so the question is whether...

Thanks a lot for taking the time to read my thread. I have noticed a worrying motherboard voltage reading in the -12v category of (6.21v average) on both HWMONITOR and SPECCY. I have not encountered any problems with the unit thus far. Do you guys think I should replace it based off this...

Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to read my post. I just finished assembling my friends computer and everything seemed to go well including the installation of his Hyper 212 EVO cooler on 760K Richland X4 3.8ghz processor. However, after installing several programs, HWMONITOR...

Thanks so much, I was concerned because the video card minimum system requirements is listed as 400W on NEWEGG. Am i wrong to total all of these requirements for (MOBO, GPU & CPU) when trying to calculate appropriate power supply? Sorry I don't know much about this stuff.

Hello everyone thank you very much for taking the time to read my post. I'm helping my friend build a budget PC and perhaps foolishly told him to order a 500W EVGA PSU. He has already purchased a GIGABYTE GTX 750 TI and AMD 760K Richland Quad-Core 3.8GHz to go with his MSI A78M-E35 Micro ATX AMD...

What does this mean, am I in trouble? Magician says the drive is in good health. Here is link to the .PNG image from screen capturing software. http://speedcap.net/sharing/screen.php?id=files/c8/80/c880f89b0e160ba2fb7acd0941678271.png Specs: ASROCK 880G pro3 motherboad AMD 965 black...

Magician will not allow me to update the firmware for the device. I've checked all the bios settings and enabled ahci mode. What do I do?!? Hardware: -Samsung 840pro 256gb SSD -Asrock 880g pro 3 Motherboard
