I started out in this world not knowing how to build a computer, how to choose appropriate parts and not knowing the difference between a CPU and a GPU (seriously I thought people kept making typos), but that is no more. Tom's Hardware has helped me become the pseudo-canny man I am today (when...

Hi there, I recently bought a new computer and it's all good, apart from the fact that a fan in it is rather noisy. However, I don't know what fan is making the noise. If anyone could give me any advice into how to find which fan is making the noise and then lower the RPM that would be...

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Hi there, I feel I may be close to buying a new PC and just want to do some final checks on this build. CPU: i5 3470 3.2ghz Motherboard: Asus P8B75-M LX RAM: 4GB Corsair 1600mhz Vengeance (1x4GB) Hard Disk Drive: 500 GB SATA III Optical Drive: 22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA GPU: 7850 2gb PSU: 550W...

Thanks and, yeah, I am talking about the non K version (probably should have mentioned that). What kind of software is multi-threaded?

Hi, Could you tell me what the performance difference between these two CPUs will be. The i5-3570 is clocked 200mhz higher, and I wondered how much difference this will make on games. Thanks in advance.

Hello there, I feel I may be close to buying a new PC and just want to do some final checks on this build. CPU: i5 3470 3.2ghz Motherboard: Asus P8H61-MX USB3 RAM: 4GB Corsair 1600mhz Vengeance (1x4GB) Hard Disk Drive: 500 GB SATA III Optical Drive: 22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA GPU: 7850 2gb PSU: 550W...

Hmmm who to pick who to pick. mhtsgr9 said 'Bro' so I feel closer to him, but completelyrandomname gave me the link. Choices, choices. :P

Awesome. Thanks guys. God I love this forum, such quick, nice and to-the-point replies!

Hi there, Is the 550W Corsair VS a good PSU and have a high enough wattage for the ATI 7850? I don't plan to overclock the GPU or my CPU. Thanks in advance.

Cheers guys. That is quite a large difference too.

Hi there, Could you please give me your opinions on these two setups. Which one will give me the greater fps in games? (I just included the CPU, GPU and motherboard as I thought these were the only things that effected fps). 1. CPU = AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz Motherboard = Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+...

Oh great. Is there anything you've found to be missing on it, or thought 'damn, I wish I had...'?

Hi there, I'm considering getting an i5 processor, the 3470, and have been looking around at prebuilt machines as well as separate components. I've found one which has this CPU in but on the Asus P8H61-MX USB3. It seems to be a rather old Motherbaord, as it only has SATA II, however, is it...

Thanks for the reply, but why is buying that motherboard not a good idea?
