Ah, got it! Thank you very much for helping! Have a fruitful week!

Great. I am very strict with paying for original products, so the grey market is out of question, still thanks for the info on the fact they may not work the same. What do you mean transferring to a new system? Like, is there any step I should do before upgrading or so? One more question, sorry...

No success contacting them, maybe because it's the first week of the year. In case I have to resort buying a new one, I wouldn't have any problems again with hardware changes, since the new license would be tied to my e-mail, right? Meaning I can use it forever, is that right?

I didn't consider doing that. I'll do that but with very low expectations, but it is still something, thanks.

Hmm, the key has existed with me for over 5 years now. MS could not help fix it, maybe I should call them again, but we've tried everything already... Too bad, it is always indicating I will have to buy another license.

It was distributed by a university.

Hi, I replaced a faulty Gigabyte mobo with an Asus one but now I am unable to activate Windows. I have a license I have always used since the dawn of Win 10. From there, I had 3 mobos before the current time (Gigabyte > Asus > Gigabyte) and always used the same key whenever it was necessary to...

@jnjnilson6 Thank you very much, I'm very much leaning towards that CPU! I will check its TDP next. I worry about that because I work as a freelancer from home, so the PC remains on basically 18 hours a day. @Math Geek This website...

Thank you for the replies, everyone, very insightful! I would rather go with an Air Cooler, it suits my experience and confidence with cleaning and such. I will see if the i7 12700! Just out of curiosity, a gen 11th could last for years? I based the budget on an average conversion from dollars...

Hello, everyone! I need to upgrade from the i7 4790 and would like your recommendation for a more powerful CPU. The 4th Gen was a beast that managed to get to 2022 still packing some considerable punch. So could you please recommend me a CPU with a similar profile? I mean, powerful and that have...

I can watch videos on Youtube and notice fluidity in movements but not in game. I play For Honor, Just Cause 4, Ghost Recon Wildlands, The Witcher 3. The so called 60 FPS does not seem to be producing the fluidty I see on YT videos. There is no sttuter or frame skipping, it's just that I don't...

Hello, guys! I don't feel the smoothness of 60 FPS coming from my screen. My games stay at 60 FPS, but I don't feel the fluidity I'm supposed to feel. I can only notice the smoothness when I watch videos on Youtube and select, for exmaple, 1080p 60FPS. However, while playing, I don't feel the...

But, hmm, before getting to 100%, it already starts walking backwards and dropping FPS. VSYNC ON, by the way.

Hello, guys! My GTX 1070 seems to step back when it gets past 90% usage. I've always thought reaching 100% usage would make a GPU show its full potential, but here it seems to go backwards in performance upon getting past 90%. FPS will go down as it gets closer to 100%. Is that normal? I've...

So, I executed all the procedures but the repairing, long test and advanced one. All the others gave me positive feedback and there was no noise during the tests. The noise I hear only shows up after closing a game. Apparently, the HDD is behaving normally. Thank you very much! I have one more...
