It's high-pitched, though low volume. However, if I pay attention, it's there. It's an intermittent whining- literally sounds like morse code. It's pattern (not pitch) reminds me of the sound I'd hear coming from a mechanical hard-drive when working. However, I have a SSD and the noise is only...

I decided to upgrade my CPU to an i3-6100 based on the recommendation of another forum user. So am thinking I'll sell the CPU/Board (BIOSTAR Hi-Fi A85S3 FM2) combo for 75? And the CPU for 60 ish. It is trending on Ebay now for like 62 bucks. Kind of a different topic (though will appreciate...

i just don't want to too severely bottleneck the new card. it's a mid-level card with a now low-end (i think) or dated CPU. I don't really have the cash, i'd love an i5 quad, but it's an extra ~240+ with board. was hoping to squeeze by with just a good overclock. i guess if i am less than...

i have a athlon-ii 760K (3.8 gGhz; 4.2 Ghz turbo). i will be upgrading my video card to a R9-380X. from what i've read online (i've never overclocked before), some have gotten their 760K up to 4.5 Ghz. i'm guessing those, who managed to really push it, invested in a water cooler. would investing...

Want to upgrade, not sure what I should charge (on craigslist) for my old (or current) CPU and GPU. I want to get rid of this Athlon-ii X4 760k (3.8 Ghz) and Nvidia 750GTX-1GB Any ideas?

I need to print my resources/articles for a research paper-- they are adobe reader files (pdf). I'm sure the hilights will print (though.. the school printer is black and white so a bit wary of how that will turn out)-- my question is though, will the pop up notes i place on text print on the...

hey. thanks for your reply. ok, i'll go with the 7600. the drive, is just a little out our range. is there a cheeper one you know of? 40 was a great price, the one you suggested is about 65. coupled with the memory which is about 20 bucks higher than the 4gb is was going to get them, that's an...

i'm building someone a system with an a10-7700, it will have windows 7. they'd use the machine mostly for office work and youtube, research. would 4gb of ddr3-1600 be enough for the machine to run smoothly? i know that graphics memory is shared with apus. it will have a 120 gb ssd also btw. is...

great. sounds like a plan-- gonna just go for a new GPU then for now. does overclocking really make a difference? i mean.. i'm sure it does. but i've read of successful overclocks of my athlon ii x4 (760) up to 4.2 GHz from 2.8. worth it ie see improved game performance? does the CPU affect...

Great response thanks. After I sell this PC to a pal and divvy the parts they wouldn't need (they wouldn't need a GTX for youtube and office work, and 4GB of RAM will be fine for them, and save me on RAM-- want to get same model in 4GB to maintain the dual channel thing-o)-- anyway, all said and...
