    [SOLVED] CPU at 98c likely to cause damage? Just Prime95 things or something else?

    I'd say Darkbreeze answered a majority of your questions, but I must second the point of getting a better CPU cooler. Honestly I have the same CPU cooler on my i5-4670K that I OC'd to 4.3 maybe 1.125 volts and running Prime95 I never got above 77 Celsius. It wasn't stable at that voltage and I...

    What is wrong with me?

    Oh man, reading this out of the context that you are 13 makes the issue so much more serious :). I imagine a 20-40 year old person stating this and man they have a serious problem. Some of the issues plaguing the young are great. When I was 13 having my girlfriend not have a complete breakdown...

    Help me, I have an expensive hobby!

    I definitely feel you on this one. I love the idea of building computers and making something and upgrading it, tinkering with it, fine tuning it, etc. I luckily have been able to resist the urge to not build another one or completely revamp my previous PC. I've been having the strongest urge to...

    Recommend a book, movie, TV show or other media

    I will second Maarch's recommendation of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. Not only are their ten books in the series by Steven Erickson, but his buddy whom he played/based the world on is writing a "companion" novels focusing on other characters/areas. It is fantasy without elves and orcs...

    Questions regarding 4k streaming/gaming

    Thanks again, I still wasn't sure how to get to the options in input, but after reading the manual it was there, I feel kinda silly. But I did change the input option to PC. It hasn't made a noticeable difference. I still am unable to change it to 60hz when I'm on 1440 or 4K just 30hz is...

    Questions regarding 4k streaming/gaming

    Thanks for the help. I know I'm not watching 4K movies on netflix, but why does it "upscale" the video like that in the app and not through my PC? That's what I'm curious about. I have 16GB of RAM that are not being utilized when I experience the intermittent mouse lag, but I have noticed some...

    Graphics Card for new Gaming Build - Raedon or GeForce

    I am currently running a GTX 970 with a i5 4th gen and don't know too much about that Radeon card. At 1080 I can pretty much run all the new games on Ultra at 1080 with pretty consistent 60 fps.

    [Need Help] for a final component check before buying

    I can't say too much about the build other than it sounds pretty sweet. You're probably gonna have a real good time with it. BUT the only thing that I will bring up is that the GPU you choose uses 375W for power consumption and the specs recommend having a 750 Watt PSU...
