    Upgrade PC or buy PS4?

    So I just wanna make it clear first that really good graphics are more like a bonus for me. I would definitely prefer them but as long as it doesn't look terrible and I get a smooth framerate, I'm good. What I care more about are the games, and the PS4 does have a lot of exclusives that I'm...

    GTX 1060 boosting up to 1940 MHz?

    So I have a GTX 1060 3GT OC from MSI which has 2 fans. I wanted to overclock it using MSI Afterburner, so I ran a benchmark with Unigine Valley first. It was showing a clock speed of 1940 MHz. I checked the clock speed myself and it was right. I'm not complaining since MSI lists the boost clock...

    Are water coolers really better?

    So I have a i5-7600K that I might plan to OC soon. I had already gone way over budget when I built my PC (originally planned to get a Pentium G4560), so I had to go with a H110m mobo and a Corsair H45. Can't really OC with the mobo but I never went above 50C (and rarely go above 40C) even when...

    Can only go up to 86Hz through HDMI

    So I've got a 1080p@144Hz monitor. It's a used one that I bought from a guy I spoke to online. He even gave me 2 HDMI cables and a DVI cable. Even though it's a great monitor, it doesn't have DisplayPort. So I'm stuck between HDMI 1.4 and DVI. So I first started by connecting the HDMI cable...

    Fast startup - Enable or disable? (Read)

    So I've got a laptop that I've had for 5 years now. It came with Windows 7 but I manually installed Windows 10 on it. I had to enable fast startup because it would take too long to startup otherwise. It wouldn't let me access the BIOS but I could restart whenever I needed to do that, since...

    Windows 10 only showing base clock speed in system properties

    So both CPU-Z and the Windows Task Manager show my clock speed as higher than that. I guess I have nothing to worry about :wahoo: I'm still curious to know what the other speed is though.

    Windows 10 only showing base clock speed in system properties

    This might sound like a noob question but this is what I'm getting In all of the previous machines that I've owned (which were all laptops), I had the base clock speed on the left and the turbo speed on the right. But that clearly isn't the case here. I have turbo boost enabled in the BIOS...

    Which one should I make exhaust?

    So my case came with 3 fans - 2 intake in the front and one exhaust at the rear. It also has space for 2 more fans on the top of the case, along with vents and filter which can be removed. When I got my CPU cooler (which is water cooled), I ended up replacing the rear fan with the radiator fan...

    CPU and case fans problem

    So to start off, this is my first time building a PC myself. My case comes with 3 fans and 4 fan connectors (not sure what they're called). 2 of them are front fans and were already connected. The third one was a rear fan that I had to connect myself. I could just connect it to the PSU...
