    [SOLVED] unsure about workstation motherboard

    Hello everybody, I was thinking about building a pc and I'm looking for used parts. I found a good deal on the xeon X5675 which suits my needs, however I'm having some trouble finding a compatible motherboard. There are some cheap mobos on ebay taken from old workstations which have of course...

    Overclocking my CPU

    The psu seems to be very very good for a pre built system. You see, there has to be a cpu fan. The computer wouldn't run at all if there wasn't. Anyways you should consider at least to clean the fan or buy a better one. Also if the only thing that dxdiag says is gigabyte then you should download...

    Which one ?

    Take a look in the link and you will see that r9 290x is way better. Just a look in the Game Performance Comparison on the right shows that in all games the amd card is much better as a percentage of how much above recommended system requirements each card is...

    Overclocking my CPU

    If your mobo, cooler and psu are capable of overclocking then you should be able to reach 4.5 ghz with no problem.

    Should I buy GTX 1050 TI 4gb

    If you want to game then you have to upgrade the whole system. Graphics card would be a good beginning, but generally everything needs to be upgraded. Maybe you should take a look on the used intel 4th gen cpus and mobos, so that you won't have to upgrade your ram

    hp xw6600 does psu have PCIE x6 pin?

    Thank you all for your answers. Well, I forgot to mention that I 'm planning to buy this workstation so I don't have it right now. The psu is 650 watt which is certainly enough. And the problem is that I can't find a picture that shows the cables, neither do they say it in some forum or on the...

    question for experts do i need cpu and mobo?

    Hello, I think it's obvious that your system is very powerful. Any kind of upgrade in terms of cpu gpu or mobo would certainly be a waste of money. Your processor can keep up with the latest games in 4k perfectly. There is no need for an upgrade. And even in the future when it will start...

    CANNOT SAVE FILES TO AN EXTERNAL hdd

    Hello, I recently upgraded to an SSD in my laptop so I bought an internal to external hard drive adaptor for my old hdd. The problem is that I cannot save any new files to this drive any more and it doesn't make any sense. I have full control of the drive and admin rights(which I changed...

    Gpu upgrade HP pavilion 15

    I would like to note that another factor that you should take into account is that the gpu cooler may not be good enough in order to make the gpu run as it should or may even overheat and destroy the whole laptop.
