Wow. Thanks for the tip! That's an impressive price. I am in Canada so I'd slap $100 on that. Still a great price.

I'll work towards getting a fx-8xxx then. I don't really want to completely overhaul this system. I do have the other system but that's mine - this computer we're talking about is my wife's. I had it built as a cheaper build (see where that got me) but I obviously didn't look to hard into the...

So this is essentially a confirmation then - yes it's definitely bottlenecking the GPU. Did some stress tests and the GPU never seems to operate past 75%. Damn. What a waste of money. The challenge is now to understand where to go from here. I don't believe there are any quality CPU's that can...

I just managed to check my search history it seems that it's a FX 4300. Seems to be Bulldozer based. Thoughts? FYI 16 GB of DDR3 RAM

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some insight into the build I have with my wife's gaming PC. I have a 1060 6gb in my computer paired with a 5th gen processor.. Works amazing. According to benchmarks, my GPU should only be about 13% better than my wife's GPU. I have her RX 470 paired with a 4th...

Going to need more specific information. You're saying that you're getting drops of 340fps to 324fps? That's pretty typical... and those frames are much higher than you'll ever need anyway... What game are you playing that this is the framerate you get? What graphics card are you using?

First thing I would suggest is to check and MAKE SURE that your card/usb is dual band compatible and you haven't accidentally set the router to only be broadcasting a 5ghz band. It would make sense that the router isn't being seen in that case. Try as well to reset the router completely instead...

I've actually run into this IRQL error before on my 2014 alienware laptop. It came with windows 8 and really struggled to be compatible with windows 10. Sometimes the hardware on these units simply do not like a newer version of windows. I had reinstalled windows 10 on that laptop countless...

Hey guys, I've been scouring the internet for a solution for this odd error I get on every system startup. Typically I just lurk over forums and typically find a solution for this, but these errors seem quite specific, and I can't find any clear cut answers. Every time I boot up my system, I...

I remember having this issue and it actually turned out to be the motherboard. The Mobo had shorted out because of a device that actually killed the port. My only suggestion, if you've tried everything else, is to just stop using the port. Or buy a new Mobo. Edit: if you need the extra USB...

Hey all I've ran into a really disturbing issue that seems to be plaguing this used laptop I got from a friend. It's an HP HDX18-1180ca. When I first received it, it had vista installed on it. I had very quickly decided to replace it with Windows 7. Everything went great. Microsoft was...
