    Can onboard video on an mATX be used for crypto mining

    I was looking at doing some crypto mining affordably. Since video cards are being in short supply and many overpriced I was thinking that a motherboard that has onboard AMD or Nvidia graphic card could be an answer. What do you think?

    Bent CPU Heat Sink Fins

    Bent fins should have no effect on performance. If you can just bend them back a little bit. I have trimmed heatsinks on memory with no issues.

    Games capped at 60fps

    What is your video card? Also is your monitor capable of 60+ fps? If so go to your Nvidia Control Panel and set your fps to 120 or 144.

    Laptop keeps turning off

    The motherboard may be bad. Any motherboard with the bad transistors will run if in the bios but will not run Windows or sometimes just turn off.

    Does anyone know?

    I don't think the seller documents the serial number. They rely on the shipping company to show the item was delivered. A point in fact is that if you don't require a signature on delivery they can't be held responsible. You should get a police report for the theft.Only you register the tablet...

    There is very little difference between the processors. The differences lie in the intergrated gpu's and you have a discreet graphics card.

    PC Performance is killing me! What is wrong?

    Look in your device manager to see if you have any flags. I ran across a computer that had a flag on the co processor. Without the driver it ran just like yours.

    PC Performance is killing me! What is wrong?

    What operating system are you using? It could be that the registry is so corrupted that windows can't operate correctly. Best advice is to do a fresh install of the operating system.

    Monitors worked yesterday, today they dont.

    Make sure the 'Display Settings' is configured to extend the desktop over all 3 displays, not just 2 of them. Steps for doing this can be found here: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-033714.htm

    Monitors worked yesterday, today they dont.

    Check you settings with just one monitor working. See if you are extending your desktop or mirroring it. Let me know.

    Monitors worked yesterday, today they dont.

    What operating system are you using? What does your Windows display configuration indicate? Does it see both external monitors?

    Do I Need an Upgrade

    With an I5 and a GTX 970 you are set up extremely well. Something else is going on for you to have performance problems. Probably with programs running in the background.

    Is this a good build for high gaming?

    You really can't build a much better system.
