Do these steps and you should see an improvement: Upon resetting your PC, before opening up any applications. Open the Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) // (or type 'Tasmgr' in the windows search bar) Go to the Process tab and monitor your CPU usage, is it constantly fluctuating between 10%-50% or...

RAM speed does matter from 1333Mhz to 2400Mhz, that is a big jump Going from 2133 to 2400Mhz would probably not be that big of a jump. The reason why you saw/felt such a difference is because you were probably 'starving'/limiting your system's normal operation by leaving your RAM at 1333Mhz...

Also doesn't really help to overclock in AMD Overdrive / VIA OS... Always best to do it VIA BIOS. I had a8-7650k and every time I would overclock through AMD overdrive I would get choppy video playbacks etc. But overclocking through BIOS worked perfectly.

Yes, please watch out for BCLK overclocking as it will increase the PCI-E voltage/frequencies, may damage your brand new RX460. BCLK as said will increase the PCI-e clock without you realising it. How far did you go on the the BCLK? Try a lower BCLK overclock maybe? **ON ANOTHER NOTE - YOUR MSI...

Thanks for lightning fast reply! There is an option to tick, in AMD Overdrive, to save settings when rebooting. I've actually done this for CPU + voltage + NB + iGPU Frequency changes/OC tweaks & 'what if' (althought prefer to use BIOS first) so I do not believe this will be an issue. What is...

Greetings all, I have access to tweak my RAM timings in AMD Overdrive (but not in the BIOS). However I am a bit worried about doing this. Is this even possible (I have available options so I know I CAN, but I fear it may just lock up my system the moment I do). A8-7650k 3.3Ghz with iGPU 720Mhz...

Any ideas/suggestions please, anyone? :(

Hi all, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. PROBLEM: I'm after a laptop - reasonably priced (£300-£700ish) that holds a HDMI 2.0 port for watching movies, connected to my 4k OLED TV. The difficulty is finding one with HDMI 2.0 that isn't an overpriced £1,000+ 'gaming'...

Your question is not specific, so I can provide a not-so-specific response which I hope helps. If you were to have a game that had en equal CPU/GPU usage, then the i3 will reach 100% before the GPU does. So, yes, your PC will be bottlenecked by the CPU; however as others have mentioned...

It will work with the dGPU; however you ideally want to get an standalone CPU for that socket as having an A10 APU (meaning CPU with integrated GPU {iGPU} already) then installing a dedicated GPU {dGPU} like the GTX 1060, your iGPU will have to be disabled as you cannot use Dual Graphics between...

I believe he meant no you can't overclock on that board. Now you could possibly try, but I wouldn't recommend it, not on that board. Just because it has heatsinks on the VRMs doesn't mean it can withstand the heat. Seems like a cheaper end of 2-way SLI as opposed to the better ones. Is this a...

I know, right? :) Usually Ebuyer have sliiightly better prices than Scan, I've noticed, so clearly an issue with pricing. But the whole (reduced from whatever price) is, unnerving, to say the least. Once reported to the relevant authorities, I will feel better about staring at that screen...

Hi all, Do a search on the www.ebuyer.co.uk website for: GTX 1050 and you will notice something strange. It is advertised at over £500, for a 1050! At first I thought it was a pricing error so I informed them of it yesterday by phone, kind of (hey, someone in your pricing department got it...

Probably wise to reseat your CPU, the issue sounds like Thermal Throttling. What paste did you use? what are your CPU Temps? Does it start to drop a few minutes after you start your PC + a game? Open the Taskmgr & under Processes, see if your CPU frequencies/usage drops periodically. But more...

In Advanced Mode (F7), take a screenshot of the [ Advanced (i) ] tab. What I would like to see is which options in the Advanced tab you have access to. Some would be greyed out, others you will be able to choose Enable/Disable/Auto, etc... This will show what your BIOS options that Motherboard...
