    Best AMD CPU that won't bottleneck the GTX 980?

    I realize AMD isn't the best choice when it comes to this question, but I am not looking to buy a new motherboard, so AMD it is. Heat shouldn't be an issue since I have the H100i. Also, my motherboard is the MSI 990FXA-GD80 V2.

    Will the AMD FX 8120 bottleneck the GEFORCE GTX 980?

    I currently have an AMD FX 8120 oc'ed to 4.3ghz. I've recently purchased a GTX 980 Superclocked and I've noticed my framerate isn't up to par. For example in Battlefield 4, no matter what setting I choose, it always hovers around 40-60fps. So let's say it is bottlenecking it. What would be a...

    HDD read/write speed randomly slow

    Bump - Okay so I guess I spoke too soon, it was acting up again about 5 minutes ago. Now where should I begin with the Event Veiwer? Under in the past hour, there's 8 errors in information and 24 in Audit Success.

    HDD read/write speed randomly slow

    Alright, so I tried pushing the sata cable into the HDD and it made a clicking sound, although I'm not too sure if it was the cable going further in or it just moving a bit. I also pushed onto the motherboard connection. It seems to be fine as of now but it might change. I'll let you know if...

    HDD Wipe Utility

    I personally haven't seen one (I haven't looked either). A simpler way to do it is just get a Windows installation disk, boot to the CD, and there should be an option to delete partitions and format it there. If you don't have a Windows installation CD this is another option you might want to...

    HDD read/write speed randomly slow

    I have had to reinstall Windows a few times actually. It turns out windows update (that is what I have narrowed it down to, it may be something else, but who knows.) doesn't like my computer too much and Windows corrupts itself. But yes, I have reinstalled windows.

    HDD read/write speed randomly slow

    Alright, I'll get back to you in maybe 30 minutes. I'm busy using my computer right now but should be able to turn it off and check the cables soon.

    HDD read/write speed randomly slow

    Well, I'm not necessarily worried about the recording and all that, I'm just trying to find out why my HDD isn't acting the way it is supposed to be.

    HDD read/write speed randomly slow

    Okay so I have a 7200 RPM HDD. It has been acting strange ever since I bought this computer from NewEgg (around September 2012) and it was an open box, pre-built computer. I noticed that sometimes programs would take a while to load. So maybe a month ago I wanted to try my hand at making YouTube...
