No need to be snippy lol. Yeah, factory OC means the manufacturer tweaked it before shipping. A GPU's BIOS has all the values that something like MSI Afterburner could change. So they up the values a bit for a small, stable boost. You can most likely go higher but keep in mind the harder you...

Also add your case and cooling situation and temps. If you want a noticeable performance increase you will need to increase everything you've got and keep it as cool as possible. What are your stock speeds on CPU RAM GPU and what speeds ate you currently running. Also, what are you using...

All of these answers are great, but in your question you sound confused so to help you understand I'll try to simplify it. When you look up the specs of your motherboard, If a motherboard says it uses DDR3 then any DDR3 should work. If it says up to 32GB, then it can use 4, 8GB sticks or 2...

Thanks for the reply, I wrote this at work and had limited time to do so. To maybe better clarify, By upgrading to a 500W PSU and adding the 750Ti (which is definitely great for the $$) I had literally no improvement. 0. The game I was testing was WoW as that was the game in question by my...

Hello! I recently built a little form factor system for a friend. I just used a bundle being ShellShocked on the Newg. The system is. CPU/GPU: AMD Athlon 5350 Kabini Quad-Core 2.05GHz AM1 25W AMD Radeon HD 8400 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113364 Mobo...

Ok, so final config (Currently working and not changing unless I has too) Unplugged BRdrive & case's esata (Slots 5&6) and reconfig'd HDDS with SDD in slot 4 (Meant to put in 1 but I have 2 red cables so put 3tb in 1) Also, reseated GPU and cleared CMOS 1 final time. So far its booting w/o...

I looked around and can't find this problem anywhere, so if it exist plz link. I want to start by saying this is ONLY while loading from off to the login screen. (Login screen is fine) Once pwr'd on, all the colors and letter are badly distorted, they can be readable though, for the most part...

ok so this all started after a power flicker one night, i think it may have been auto updating as well but thats just a guessatmate cause i was asleep. at boot once it would get to windows actully loading right before the login part i would get a blue screen, like the phyical dump but no...

If i had a beeping code that might help lol, anyway im not getting the post leds. ive been trolling forums to see if other ppl have my problem and many cant get a post or to the bios but they all get the post leds, all the other leds light up on the board so idk, im just gonna RMA it. probably...

ok i need help now! i got it to load windows, then i used the Recovery center to restore to factory settings and everything was fine. i installed all my drivers for mobo and Graphics card, reboot and still fine. i removed a few things i didnt want like google desktop and random stuff it restored...
