Good day, Long story short I was recently cleaning my case before installing a new GPU and very spectacularly hit the fan blade of my cpu cooler with the nozzle of the compu-cleaner. A fan blade snapped off. I booted my system up just to see if it was possible and my cores were running at...

Please read what is actually being asked. Please do not harass me with 'why though' if you have an answer then I am eternally grateful. So. I've been set to invisible on steam for about 4 months now, private reasons, I'm not getting into it. I've recently got a new SSD and Windows 10 install...

Yeah I am more of the mind it's future proofing and delaying upgrades after this upgrades, as I said I have the money and I'm happy to spend it. I kinda just want to blow £1000 on this regardless, I've been putting this all off the last 3 black fridays now... I have the money it's been sat aside...

Yeah I was aware of the K it's why I got it originally, I didn't realise I couldn't fit anything bigger than a stock cooler in the case though at the time (used to be an even bigger noob). I was planning on keeping my 1060 6GB as it's still sufficient for modern games, I don't care about highest...

Well manual tinkering will need to happen whenever you manual tinker so.... Whenever you want to clean, plug in something new, install a new drive, add a new fan, upgrade a CPU or GPU, I'd rather be able to unplug get inside the case and do stuff because there's room rather than having to pull...

Really appreciate the reply, sorry didn't get a notification and gave up after I thought I had to write all this <Mod Edit> out again in a forced mega thread. You mention Z690 based motherboard? Is that something different from a Z590? Or was I using an incorrect term? As I said it's something a...

Well I don't have time to merge these into one long gigantic thread covering everything now and won't be able to check for replies for almost 24 hours so cheers.... They were 3 separate questions for a reason. I very much doubt I'll get in-depth assistance on all 3 in 1 thread.

First things first I'm hoping to get a new motherboard, CPU, case and RAM. My budget is I'm going to say about £1000. I'm definitely not a "more money than sense" kinda guy it's just I've been putting this off for a long time so I have a fair bit to spend. I currently run an i5 3570k and have...

I've been wanting to do a PC upgrade for a while now. Primarily a new CPU and better RAM but my motherboard is about 12 years old. I'm hoping to get a new motherboard, biggest case I can find, a new CPU and new RAM. Now the motherboard is kinda the foundational first step here as it'll determine...

So basically I'm hoping to do a PC upgrade for black friday where I change my motherboard, CPU, RAM and case itself. I'm keeping my drives, card and PSU. I've wanted to do upgrades for a long time but everything has been dependent on getting a new motherboard and I need a bigger case in general...

First of all I would really only like to say this once. I'm going to include some rules and parameters and I do not want people arguing with them. I need a workaround for them, I don't care if it's messy, if it's noisy, a headache or expensive. I just want a work around and would be genuinely...

I've also thought about looking in BIOS for CPU settings but I can't get in. On boot my machine says FN+F10 and it gets me into something called:- RealTek PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent Configuration Menu Network Boot Protocol ---------- PXE Boot Order ---------- PnP / BEV (BBS)...
