So I had an odd day today building a new rig. I got the MSI Z270 Gaming M7 Motherboard with an i7 6700k and a Corsair 750M power supply. One thing I noticed was the CPU power on the motherboard requires and extra 4 PIN to which my PSU does not have. Doing some research everyone said it will...

Love this motherboard but have noticed I cannot control my CPU fan speed at all. I had a 212 EVO but now have a H100i GTX both plugged into the CPU Fan on the Motherboard and it doesn't matter whether I set it to Smart Fan Control or Manual 100% in the Bios, It does nothing. I have another...

Had my rig in a Micro ATX case and my temps were not what I would of like, So switched out the motherboard and case and got a NZXT Manta. Everything is cool with CPU & GPU at 27-29c on idle but it's not a smooth experience. I get random 10-15 second Freezes right when Windows loads up and...

Easily one of the ugliest cards I've seen from EVGA. It looks like a boombox from the 90s and I hope the Hybrid version has a different Design

If you have an Xbox One controller, unplug it and see what happens. I dont know what has been going on but lately the xbox one controller drivers have been seriously messing with my CPU causing a massive bottleneck inespecially GTA V. Simple fix is to leave it unplugged until you reach the...

Just reinstalled MSi, Now its saying 4.1GB, Maybe it's how much being used not necessarily how much I have.

ok, well just went into safe mode and did a clean install, still showing 3.5 GB. very odd.

ok why 362?

Just did a clean install of the drivers, still not right unless I am missing something here.

Just went from a GTX 970 to a GTX 980 Ti and was wondering do I really need to wipe and reinstall the drivers. I am only asking because MSi Afterburner is still reading 4GB Max on VRAM. Everything else seems to be fine.

I have an i3 4170 with 8GB RAM and a GTX 960. Runs at 1080p on high no problem.

I have two builds, One is a budget Build with an i3 and my new Build has the i7 4790k with a Corsair H55 Cooler on it. I listed my temp below and I was wondering if the temps on my i7 are what they should be? I feel like they are a bit high considering the i3 has a stock Intel cooler and my...
