Thanks R_1 for the answer, I've looked around and seem to find similar answers. I just want to make sure that there nothing wrong with my rig, you know? I don't think that test stressed the FPU. How can I can about stressing the FPU?

So I just ran the intel processor diagnostic tool to test my CPU, it passed everything. What I find interesting is that when the tool performed the CPULoad test, my CPU was sitting at 100% load but the temperatures were 56 degrees? Why then does the CPU run so hot when I'm in game? :/

Hi guys So I've just built this rig; i7 7700k GTX 1080Ti 16GB RAM Asus z270-H MOBO H100i v2 watercooling So far the only game I have played has been Assassin's Creed Origins. Visually everything is running very smoothly, however I'm noticing some data that is concerning me a little bit. I've...

Awesome guys, thanks for your answers! So I've looked into the i7 8700k and I have to say that I like what I see! It's not too much of a price hike either, so I think I'll go with the new i7. I'll also drop down to a lower PSU xD Regarding my location and budget, I'm in London and my budget is...

Hey friends I'm about to order my new rig and I was wondering if you guys would have a look at the components and let me know if I'm doing anything silly :D Mobo: Asus ROG Strix Z270E Gaming Intel Z270 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz (Kaby Lake) Socket...

Whats up guys! So I am about to get my new rig, and I was looking for some advice from you guys. I've been out of the hardware loop for a while now, so I'm not too sure on what to do. Basically I will be gaming at 1080p on Ultra settings. I'd like the system to be relatively "future proof" (I...

Thanks a million for all of your responses guys!! Originally I was going to go with a decent 4K monitor, a PS4Pro and my i5/GTX1060. However, seeing as I won't be able to truly game in 4K with my hardware, I feel like splashing out on a 4K monitor is pretty redundant. So I think I'll just grab...

Whats up friends :) So like most people here I am a lover of gaming. My time spent gaming is split pretty evenly between PC and PlayStation. I have recently moved to London and I'm now busy getting my plans together for my new setup. The goal is to basically have my PC and my PS4Pro connected...

Greetings friends! I am an owner of an Alienware M17x R3. It may not be that great for gaming any-more, but I use it for my every-day general use, such as surfing the web and YouTube etc. I have had it for the better part of 2.5 years and decided to take it in to get cleaned because the ans...

Hi guys, so I'm in a bit of a predicament. I build my new pc and had everything connected etc. Then I turned it on and I couldn't get into the BIOS, it would just tell me in to in a "boot media device" and restart my PC. So I put in Windows 8.1 and let it run, it asked me where I want to...

Hi friends I'm installing a Blu-Ray optical drive into my new PC, but I'm very confused as to which SATA connector I'm supposed to use. My Motherboard (Gigabyte X79-UD4) has a mixture of SATA II and SATA III internal connectors, and the drive is the Pioneer BDR-208EBK. It just says SATA on it...

Hey guys, I'm building a new rig and I've hit a roadblock. My rig looks like this: Intel Core i7 4820k @3.7GHz 16GB Corsair Vengeance @1600MHz Gigabyte X79-UD4 Motherboard Gigabyte nVidia GeForce GTX 780Ti OC 3GB It includes a 3TB HDD and a 512GB SSD. Now, this is all from scratch. My...

Argh hahaha this is killing me! xD I think this may be the deciding question; Will getting the Haswell based rig increase the overall longevity of my machine? As I understand it the Ivy-E is the top LGA2011 range of processors. So basically, with a LGA1150 system, I'll be able to upgrade to...

The motherboard I'll be using in the X79 system is: Gigabyte X79-UD4 Motherboard And the motherboard I'd have with the Z87 board is : Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H Motherboard

Thanks for the reply; Basically I want to use the rig (in the long run) for lots of gaming on a 32"LCD at medium to high resolutions (no need for super ultra HD). Does this affect the standings in any way?
