Ideally, I want to get the closest to 144FPS as possible for e-sport titles. Will there be an issue if I get a 1080p? Seeing as how the GPU will pump out a ton more frames that my CPU can process? I have my eye on two monitors right now, both are 144Hz G-Sync and both are about $500, except...

I've been using Ryzen Master for the last few days to monitor the temps of my 1600 and I've noticed my CPU voltage jumps around all over the place from 0.97v to 1.2v all the way to around 1.36v and sometimes more. Now, isn't stock voltage 1.2v? Why is it jumping all the way to past 1.3v? Could...

So the fans I bought are for CPU coolers? I'll still be able to use them as case fans, right? I noticed afterwards that the regular Arctic F12 are 73 CFM so I'm not sure if I should be using those. I imagine they're louder but I could live with it if it cools my system better.

Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question. First of all here is my build >Ryzen 1600, MSI B350 Tomahawk, GTX 1050ti, Seasonic 520w, 8gb ram, Corsair Carbide Spec-01 I built this last week but forgot to buy case fans. My PC came with one in the front included so I never thought anything of...

Thank you guys. I feel a little better about my screw up now. Still kinda bummed that I scratched my new $300 (cad...) cpu. Hopefully all is well...

So as the title says, I scratched my IHS in two spots. I messed up putting my heatsink on, when I went to take it off to try again I must have caused the scratches. Will this be an issue? I don't know how I will get paste up in those corners. The plate on stock cooler for the 1600 is round so...

I opened the box and read the documentation and I can't find the rotational speed anywhere. I called earlier in the day and asked if they had any 2TB Barracuda, the fella told me he did and put on aside. I bought it without thinking and when I got home I noticed the differenced between the...

Yeah but what I'm saying is I don't know reliable that description is. I have both the newegg Barracuda and the staple Desktop one. The newegg one is clearly labeled Barracuda while the staples one is clearly labeled Desktop...

@JamesSneed (sorry I don't know how to reply on mobile version) where did you get that info? The link I posted seems wrong. They list it under Barracuda but it's Desktop. I can't even find the rotational speed on the box or in the manual. How can I tell if it's 7200?

This is the actual hard drive I bought. They list it as barracuda but obviously it isn't? https://staples.ca/en/Seagate-BarraCuda-2-TB-Desktop-Internal-Hard-Drive-SATA-6GB-s-3-5-Retail-Kit-STBD2000101/product_715789_1-CA_1_20001?sk_test=a

I bought a Seagate Barracuda model ST1000DM010 on Newegg. It was only 1TB so I decided to upgrade to 2TB but instead of waiting on Newegg I bought my new harddrive from a local computer store. It wasn't until I got home that I actually noticed it was the Desktop version model ST2000DM001...

Is the Rufus option somehow better than going directly through the Microsoft website?

I bought a copy of Windows 10 on Newegg withour realizing it was the disc version. My new pc doesn't have a disc drive. wat do

My only concern is how safe it is leaving my 1200 overclocked at all times. If I did, I would clock it to 3.7Hz and just set it and forget it. This won't cause damage to my system? If I understand correctly, the 1300x is the same as the 1200 only clocked higher by default?

The parts to my first rig should be arriving in the mail today. I bought a 1200 but upon further research I realize I probably should have bought the 1300x. I know the 1200 can reach about 1300x speed though overclocking but I know nothing about overclocking and I'm a little concerned about how...
