I bought a 27 inch Samsung Space monitor about 8 months ago, and I've experienced stranged ticking noises coming from the monitor. The sound has come and gone at seemingly random periods of time, but now it's back. To describe the sound, it sounds like a clock ticking but it's two seperate...

Sorry if this is not in a proper section of the forum. So I recently bought a Macbook Air for schoolwork and stuff. Sometimes it gets pretty hot though, and I want to make sure it can ventilate. Where is the ventilation pointed? Cause I don't want to be covering it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm going to sell my pc, and before doing that, I'd like to erase everything on my harddrive, although I was wondering what the exactly entails. Does that delete the operating system as well? I'd like to just have it be, like when I just installed my Windows 7. Also what is the easiest and...

Thanks for the responses. I was thinking it should have been some error with the software. I guess if the software indicates those temperatures again, I should probably take it as I should give my CPU a break. Although that just makes me wonder what kind of a false detection could be off by so...

CPU: AMD FX-8320 8 Core GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 780 Direct CU II RAM: 8192 MB MOBO: Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120XL Software used to detect temperatures: CPUID HWMonitor So I was gaming and noticed that my PC had a lot of load on it, so decided to close my game and...

Gam3r01: Thanks for your advice, I'll take it into consideration SR-71 Blackbird: The Cooler Master Seidon 120XL Mouldread: I have definitely tried making my air flow in my case the most optimal for my CPU's temperature, it seems that my GPU is fine on its own. And thanks for your advice!

I recently bought an FX-8320, and I've been using the stock cooler, assuming that it would meet my standards, I've been monitoring the CPU temperatures via HWMonitor, ever since I felt the top of my case was really hot after gaming for 20 minutes. I've noticed that my CPU has really odd...

Thanks alot for the answers. My case is an NZXT Lexa S, with 4 fans. 1 on the side panel, 1 on the top panel, 1 on the back panel, and one on front panel. I could not make room for all of those fans, as my motherboard does not support more than 4 fans at a time (including cpu fan). I assume...

I did not overheat my CPU, although, my AMD FX-8320 CPU, gets extremely hot when gaming. I am using the stock fan, and I am getting an aftermarket fan soon. I have read that my CPU should only touch 60 degrees and no higher, or else it'll overheat. I've only been above 60 degrees once, but other...

I am no professional in this area, although I have read about a similar subject to this. Running GTX 780's in 2-way sli, should be ran with atleast a 850 watt psu, and an FX-6300 is probably going to bottleneck the GPU's. I don't know what CPU you'd rather get, but you should definitely look...

I just built my new PC, got everything hooked up. But it wont turn on. I checked the list of troubleshooting a PC that wont turn on, it did not help me. I did not use an anti static wristband, but i grounded myself often throughout the built by touching the case. Specs: Asus GTX 780 FX-8320...

AnEwG: I only mentioned the FX-6300 as an example of what I had in mind, but that was before the though of bottlenecking came across my mind. It's the cheapest compatbile CPU for the motherboard, so incase that would not bottleneck the GPU's, it would've been perfect. paitsju sadff: My budget...
