I have the MSI GTX 1070 and I have noticed lately when I open the MSI Gaming App, the MHz reading just stays pegged on 1582Mhz...I dont think this was the case early on when I installed the card...it would be like down at 200something MHz. This is without a game running or anything. What could...

Sometimes after I game for a bit and I close the game down, my system wont register clicks or typing from my computer. Then my mouse movements are laggy and every movement of the mouse and every click of the mouse causes a beep. The only thing I have left to do is reset the computer. The...

bought some 2400 speed ddr4 for my skylake build and the motherboard runs it at 2133 and timings are at 15...The specs say this is cas 12 latency. I understand why the mobo defaults it down to 2133, because anything beyond that is overclocking...but why up the timings? Can I just enable XMP...

I just installed Windows 7 on a new pc that I had a key for. How long does it take for it to get the update to 10? It keeps saying there are no updates after the 200+ I installed after the initial installation. It downloads in the background right?

I kind of understand the difference between the two, but changing one from the other has no effect on the GUI of current bio interfaces does it? For instance, if I had my bios set to boot the pc in legacy mode...I can still use the bios GUI to overclock and do all the things I could prior to...

Ok, I am downsizing my rig into a mini-itx case and upgrading my mobo and cpu to skylake. I am going with the i5 6600k cpu and it doesnt come with a cooler, and I dont initially plan on overclocking. My question is what is the difference in the corsair h50i through the 80i as they are all...

I have an AMD setup right now and I am transporting all my stuff to a mini-itx setup...well you cant use AM3+ with mini-itx so I am going Intel now. My question is should I go Skylake or Broadwell. One of the main differences is I can use my current ram if I stay with Broadwell due to it being...
