My bad, I sort of meant extreme overclocking, beyond what is more or less done through the software. Anyway, thanks for the input. I'll hopefully have time this weekend to put the rig together!

The usual is coming at me from some people "Uhh, why did you get that mobo? Why not this or that" I'm not the most experienced builder when it comes to picking the best parts to pair together. I wanted the i7 9700k, no problem there, and the guy at the computer store picked out a ASUS TUF...

So before anyone asks, yes, I have Wake On LAN disabled as seen: However, I noticed under the Events tab, it shows this: I just send my computer in to sleep mode most days after I'm done with it in the morning. I'll head to work and some days, not very frequently at all, it'll be back on...

Okay, so a few questions are still left after some research that I'd like to clear up so I'm not wasting money on a new CPU. I mainly play GTA 5 and recently noticed I was running in Windowed Borderless and switched to Fullscreen. This brought a sharper picture but also brought micro-freezing...

What OS are you running? Are you familiar with modifying what "startup programs" you have enabled/disabled? You may have quite a few unnecessary ones loading up when you log onto Windows that are slowing down your startup time.

I recently purchased an GTX 1070 from ASUS. I'm not getting the performance increase I was expecting to get. I ran a 3DMark test with the 780Ti I had before and with the new 1070 and the score went up by about 4000 (Not really sure how significant that is). In games such as Battlefield 1 and GTA...

I'm currently running 2 4GB sticks from Corsair. They're about 5 years old. I've upgraded everything in my PC since then except for the RAM. I'm considering 16GB just to have more than enough and not get slowed down while heavily multitasking. I run some higher end games as well. Here's a...

When ever I have a problem like this with a HDD or booting problem, I use a device I bought from my local PC store similar to this: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812400542&cm_re=HDD_to_USB-_-12-400-542-_-Product If I can access the HDD from a working computer then I know...

As the title suggests, I'm looking at the 6k series of CPUs from Intel. Does anyone think I would notice a reasonable performance gain from the upgrade to make it somewhat worth the purchase or just stick with what I got? Temps are still low and nothing is wrong with my current CPU. I'm not...

It sounds like it wasn't secured to the motherboard fully and it became dislodged when it was pulled from the DVI connector. If it gets pulled out of the motherboard when the PC is on, it will cause short circuits and could fry components like the HDD.

I don't remember ever hearing of HDMI supporting anything much higher than 60Hz, but I could be wrong. I know for a fact that DVI-I and DVI-D (both dual link on my 780 Ti) offer 144Hz support for my ASUS VG248QE with no problems. HDMI does not. I am currently using Display Port as it offers the...

Have you tried scaling up? 5% or 10%?

With my local repair shop, they take a brief look over it for free. They charge if there's anything they can do to fix it. Honestly, if I were in your situation, I usually take it to my local PC shop and let them take a look. They have all their diagnostics tools to find issues fairly quickly...

Alright well I'm asking for someone to post who does. It's been done before, I've read posts of people doing it. I just can't seem to find the option in my BIOS to make it happen. Anyone have any experience with doing this?
