Are you using GPU encoding? The game FPS is more dependent on your GPU than your CPU, however.

I've been facing this issue for a while now regarding sleep mode. The PC enters sleep mode normally, but when I click the power button again to wake up the system, the keyboard and mouse stays off, and the monitor doesn't turn on. Everything inside the case turns on (fans, RGB), and if I power...

Please explain how, that's the benefit of forums, if someone has the same issue they can find this from Google instead of making an entire new post.

Thx I'll take a look I'd also like to know from anybody how big of a difference in performance there will be from 2.0 x4 to x16

https://ibb.co/XX63bXK I have the card in the lower slot right now but you can see how if I put it into the top slot, it would be blocked slightly by the chipset.

So I have the 970M Pro3 motherboard from ASRock. Per the manual, there are 2 PCIe slots for GPUs. https://download.asrock.com/Manual/970M%20Pro3.pdf (pg16) PCIE2 (PCIe 2.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards. PCIE3 (PCIe 2.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane...

Ok, thanks. My cpu is overclocked (with increased voltage), should I disable that too to be safe?

So I know 500/550 is recommended, but I also see ppl saying that they're overly cautious with recommendations to be on the safe side since you don't know what range of components people can have. Will the 430W be enough? It's an EVGA W1, and it's 34A on 12V so it's like true 410W. It might go...

Ok thanks, I'll stay away from the Azza cases then, thanks for the info. The MX330G looked good but it doesn't have enough CPU cooler clearance, the Rosewill one has crazy 50$ shipping. The Meshify C however looks really good actually, I'll do some further research into it :) I was browsing...

Karadjgne: Yeah, a 1mm tolerance isn't that great lol. You're definitely right with the distances, another case by this same company lists 155, but some guy on PCPartpicker fit a 212 EVO (159), which makes me think they're setting a safe limit with their measurements, but Canada Computers won't...

Ok, thanks both of you, I guess I'll set the first answer as best, but they're both helpful :p Gonna go pick up the case today, so I'll leave a reply if it fits if anyone comes across this post in the future. Hopefully everything is all good :) EDIT: Actually, one thing I just noticed while...

This is the case: https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_1937&item_id=170959 and it lists 160mm CPU cooler clearance. I have a Hyper 212 EVO, which has a height of 159mm. It seems like it should fit if measurements are accurate, but does this account for motherboard height and...

So I have an AMD FX 6200 CPU, and this CPU cooler: https://www.deepcool.com/product/cpucooler/2014-05/7_869.shtml The motherboard is an ASRock 970M Pro3. I'm trying to install the cooler, and the first clip latches fine, but the 2nd one can't be reached. The cooler is at an angle sort of from...

No, I know what it means, when after 8s or so of inactivity the head moves away to save power n stuff. I was under the impression this was bad because there's a limited amount of times it can be parked, and makes the drive slower (because I guess it takes time to get started again)? But if I'm...

Since my recent post about my Seagate 3TB 7200RPM drive dying, I'm looking for a replacement, either 3 or 4TB. I found this https://www.amazon.ca/Blue-Desktop-Hard-Disk-Drive/dp/B013HNYV8I/ref=pd_ybh_a_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=P4T358SDVKV5TDQNZ88Q WD Blue 4TB for a good price, but I'm...
