Hello all, I've been having a problem with my overclock. Every time i shut down the PC the clock speed of my processor drops to 4.1Ghz. It's currently set to 4.4Ghz in the bios and is stable at that point but every time i shut down, the clock speed decreases until i load the bios and It goes up...

Your fan sounds like it's on it's last leg. It could be the voltage not being supplied to the motor due to old age or resistance. Or just that the motor isn't generating as much power to spin the fan. Either way, it doesn't sound like it's going to last much longer. If it were me, i'd skip the...

Not sure what monitor software you're using, but make sure you're looking at the right temperature. I made the mistake when i was first overclocking. I was using CPUID HWmonitor and looking at the temperature marked CPU, but after some research, i found that it was displaying the socket...

I know advertisements say differently, but actually there are 2 main components for PC gaming and ram. Clock speed and latency. These are really the 2 that you need to be considered with for gaming. Both have benefits, but really don't affect things too terribly much in the grand scheme of...

Absolutely. Most games don't task your processor overly hard so the temp isn't pushed to the extreme anyway, but for those that do, that cooler will keep it cool. This is assuming you have a good case to put it in with enough air flow. Here's a nice review of the product...

That cooler master EVO is a fantastic cooler if you want to stay stock clock or even a mild overclock. Won't find better unless you spend quite a bit more $$. I've owned mine for a few years and don't regret it for a second.

Nope. They will not work as they have 2 different socket types that are incompatible. Sorry :( http://www.techpowerup.com/155079/amd-fm1-and-fm2-packages-pictured-side-by-side-incompatible.html

good to hear the power setting helped a little bit. The 80% load is good, but i was a little concerned with the temps while playing. You can have it running in the background while you're playing and tab out and check the temp, or there is an option in GPUZ to log the data to a file. There you...

Hello, First thing i would suggest is make sure all drivers are up to date with your system. Since you're wanting the laptop for gaming, making sure the windows power setting is set to maximum performance could help. To do this in windows, go to control panel>system and security> power...

no, the boot process should be fine. There is a setting in the BIOS that you can select what disk to boot from. This should already be set to your normal drive. If it has any issues at all, it will prompt you before windows starts informing you it has detected another boot drive and you just...

Both the cryorig h7, corsair h80i gt, and the NZXT perform roughly the same and all should fit inside the case. The cryorig is $35, corsari $100 and NZXT $70ish. All perform roughly a few degrees of each other. The water coolers will provide less heat inside your case though as you connect the...

No problem. I hope it helped. I was just looking into buying one for my personal computer a few weeks ago so I had been doing some research into it.

There are a few different wattage UPS here. It's output is a sine wave so it shouldn't interfere with your power supply or other equipment. It is a little more expensive but it's always better to buy something right the first time. Especially anything dealing with power. I don't know the...
