Okay so i found out it was my motherboard , i upgraded to a AsRock B550M Steel Legend and the sound is there and perfect, so it was NOT my CPU. Unfortunately i did purchase a 2700x for a bad reason, i will probably sell it or give away to a friend, but i'm glad my PC is usable (for now). I need...

It wasnt the wisest idea, i know, my OCD kicked in with that cleaning, but i wanted to make sure if i chipped something off, which i could have, and because i cleaned with a toothbrush that i used before, i had to sanitize it a bit. I just thought i screwed something up during building and...

So could this just be the crappy implementation of the (now ancient but still in low budget boards) Realtek codec? Might be why i was so annoyed in the first place. I guess i'll get a new mobo anyway, because i had the nicest sound from alc1220 based mobos, and since i am buying a 3600x with...

Hello, i haven't posted here much and havent been for a while but i am looking for someone with some help regarding my onboard sound in my M-ATX main gaming PC. I was trying to diagnose a gaming stuttering issue, whenever audio or new sounds were in even a old game, or just when booting it up...

I would suggest if you’re a beginner to hardware to take it one step at a time and not even consider a “real” loop ; get a AIO like Game Max Iceberg 120/240mm I have the 120 they are good on my 2600x. They’re cheap (42GBP for the 120) and do the job well with silent solid fans. If you’re a...

It seems to happen on old Gigabyte boards due to Their AHCI/SATA driver implementation. The only fix on old 780g boards (i know this may not crrelate to z97 but... it's Gigabyte) to switch to native IDE. This helped some people. What i also did is uninstall the chipset driver (i have an ancient...

This board can handle a FX8370E just fine. I run it Overclocked, @ 4.1GHz @ 1,31v or 4.3ghz @ 1,37v if i want extra performance, with a FSB@210 with RAM overclock @ 1959mhz 2x8GB Crucial 1,5V DDR3 @ 1,65v CL12. NB/HTlink @ 2310mhz minimum or auto, and sometimes OC to 2520mhz. I can prove this...

I think it was NewQ Gold DSP, judging by all i could find and the beige color, it is a front-bay audio processor that amplifies and EQs any 3.5mm jack signal you plug it into. You could use it without a soundcard, a external source, like aux/mp3 player (even at the time). Sadly it seemed like it...

Finally got this to work @ 4.4ghz on this very board! CPU settings: 1,43vcore, +0.1v NB, 1,195v NB VID, Regular LLC, CnQ on (Cool n quiet stops the temps from hitting 60c during games) Intel Burn Test v2 'Standard' 100% stable in 300 seconds. My board hasn't blown up yet, it was risk but i...

That's what i have, except i dont have restarting issue, i solved it by installing the AMD SATA Controller driver which , before installing, i could not let my hard drfive and SSD function properly in SATA/AHCI mode. This caused BSODs when restarting. If you left IDE mode as default then you...

Hello I run an AMD AM3+ based system on GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 REV 6.0 with 175w+ 4+1 VRM heatsinks 80-90c&at least 175w power delivery. Basically short, i want to upgrade to an 8 core but i need a little over 4ghz on the clock. The FX 8350 does the job but i oc'ed to 4,2ghz succcessfully on my...

Hello Tom's. I am a PC building newbie, and running a AMD rig i built September 2016 for personal + budget reasons, i do not have performance issues on my rig, but my PSU with my FX rig is kinda spooky. Basically it's a DEEPCOOL DQ750ST, rated on Johnnyguru as i built spontaenously on a budget...
