Hi guys, Sorry, i didn't really know how to properly title this thread. So, I have had a few routers in the past. My computer took more or less time to reconnect after standby depending on the router. I was wondering what are the criterias that define the speed at which the handshake with...

Hi guys, I have a gigabit internet connection and I am consistently getting > 900 Mbps down and > 500 Mbps up on ethernet. I have a TP Link Archer C50 AC at the moment which is advertised for up to 1200 Mbps but I am not even able to reach 100 Mpds down on speedtests with it, even with the...

Hi guys, I havec a boring question. I don’t know if i should abuy an nvme or a sata 3 ssd/m.2 drive. There are many threads about it but most of them are 2 years old. Prices have decreased a lot and I don’t know if this is the right time to move to an nvme. I am mainly gaming on my computer...

Hey guys, I have an issue with a laptop i'm trying to fix. I get the S.M.A.R.T error when trying to boot because the hdd appears to be faulty. I press f1 and it won't boot. So apperently the hdd is dead/about to die. I want to plug the hdd on my computer to see if i can retrieve some of the...

If you don't plan on overclocking the cpu the 212 evo is already close to overkill in my opinion. Take into account that as long as you don't overclock, the stock cooler is already enough and you'll never thermal throttle with it. Buying a 3rd party cooler is more about noise concerns as well as...

I have the same exact problem (same gpu same cpu) UP! UP!

You could try another cooler to see if that's the issue, the pump could be malfunctioning. Do you still have the stock intel cooler that came with the cpu? And also,it seems stupid but are you sure the cooler is well screwed on the cpu? A part from that don't be too worried, you're cpu will...

Hey, guys. I have recently updated my gtx 950 for a 1070. It's now time to update my cpu because it seems to be bottlenecking my new gpu (i5 4460). I was looking for some i7 and was wondering which one of them would be the best. taking into account that my budget is limited and since i have a...

GTX 1050 is a good value. It is the first step into good graphics cards. It is still far from the high end cards but so much better than what you currently have. The only compatibility issue that could occur here is with your power supply. R7 250 usually drains its power directly from the mother...

Toshibitsu is right, the dust you accumulated in 4 years is most probably thermal throttling your processor. It means that your processor can't cool down and is forced to reduce its bus speed to avoid frying. In my opinion you should remove the bottom pannel and spray using a air can. There...

If it's still not working try to reset the motherboards cache. It can sometimes be an issue for fresh builds. The easiest way to do it is to remove the motherboard's cmos battery, wait for about 30 min so there's no more juice inside the motherboard and plug back the battery. The battery is...
