Thank you all for the help, I'll be going for a 3770 then.

Hello everyone, My question is mostly about a price-to-performance consideration. I have an i5-2400 on a h67 motherboard. I have a few upgrade options available to me and i don't know which one is most cost-efficient. I like to stream occasionally which is what necessitates this upgrade, OBS...

I think I can pair it with the current power supply in my desktop in much the same fashion as it was intended. The psu I currently have is an oem psu from gateway, rated at 330w. The antec has a 2 pin connect that consists of the green cable and a ground and I figure I can use these to turn on...

I was told by the guy who sold it to me that it's a server power supply that comes as a set (there was an identical one next to it). However, after seeing the 24 pin power connector (didn't really think about the peripheral cables at the time) i figured that'd be all i need. The label says it's...

It turned out that the way I was trying to hook up the fan was causing the short. But i used an extension cable and everything worked fine.

Hello all, I just bought a power supply and recently realized it does not contain any sata or molex plugs. It has 2x 6 pin pcie and 2x 6+2 pin pcie cables. I would like to use the 6 pin cables to convert them to sata and molex cables but I cannot seem to find an appropriate converter. I am...

Hey guys, I have a little situation right now. I was swapping some fans in my desktop. I turned it on to the test the fan I was installing. The computer turned on for about a second and then turned off. I tried the paperclip method and the power supply powered up, I even plugged in that fan I...

Hello everyone, I'm looking to buy a new monitor in the future, and i was wondering about what exactly higher resolution offers. My two main considerations right now are a 40 inch 4k monitor, or a 27 inch korean 1440p monitor. My main question is: will a higher resolution add more detail to a...

I finally understand what is happening. When the laptop sleeps and wakes up the turbocore gets locked. I am unable to change the settings in overdrive (not that they work after applying anyway) but after reboot the turbocore settings can be played with. Overdrive tells me that turbocore can be...

As a matter of fact, I use samsung magician soft which came with my SSD. I always have the plan set to samsung high performance. But i have to switch it when i turn on the laptop. For some reason it defaults to power saver plan after reboot. I uninstalled magician and am now using regular high...

Okay, I updated the bios, i got a corrupted system32 error but that's been fixed. Laptop is now working normally. However, i put it to sleep and tried again. The problem still persists. I don't know when it actually started. I recently became concerned with what i could do to make it faster and...

I considered updating bios before but i was deterred by this message: Users who download BIOS from here (not using Live Update) should use the flash utility included in the downloaded compressed file when doing the BIOS update. To avoid BIOS update failure, please do not use older versions of...

Hello everyone, I currently own a Msi gx70. I've noticed that when i let it sleep and wake it up later the turbocore boost speed does not work. The cpu is rated at 2.5ghz-3.5ghz turbo (never actually seen it reach 3.5 though). I have checked through resource manager and overdrive. When it sleeps...
