    [SOLVED] Is it safe to leave my AIO not running for 2 weeks?

    The reason is that I'm in holidays for about 2 weeks, which means I have zero access to my PC. So my question is, would it be safe to leave my AIO for a fortnight? Would the additives etc. start to settle on the bottom if left for too long? And would it become prone to leaks?

    Tick sound when starting/shutting down PC

    I've had this issue for a while now, so I'm not exactly sure when this "Tick" sound started. It would make a single tick every time I boot to Windows, and every time I shut it down. It can't be the hard drive since it's a different frequency. The tick sound that my PC makes is similar to a...

    AMD driver updating problems

    Like already said, download DDU. Also, if you had a card from Nvidia, chances are that you still have remains of the drivers, that could be conflicting with your AMD drivers.

    Buying DDR4 Memory

    Thanks for the reply. Would there happen to be a documentation of this stating anything about their channels?

    will I have a bottleneck?

    Non-multithreaded quad cores might start to show their weakness when it gets to CPU intensive games. Like suggested already above, you can always try to put more load on the graphics card to reduce bottlenecks by reducing framerates (less FPS = less frames for the CPU to process), either by...

    Buying DDR4 Memory

    So I am planning to upgrade from an i7 4770, to a Ryzen 5 2600, meaning I obviously need different memory and a new board. I plan to buy 2x4GB sticks to run in dual channel. However, it's cheaper for me to buy 2 individual 4GB sticks (Team T-Force Vulcan 2400MHz 1x4GB DDR4), instead of a kit of...

    Antec Dark Fleet DF500, max CPU cooler height

    Hey all, So I've just ordered a new case from PCCG, the DF500. I've gone through the dimensions for both the cooler and this case a few times, to make sure it fits. And sure enough, it will (Hopefully anyway). According to the case specs, it can fit up to 165mm CPU coolers. My CPU cooler is...

    Will a Ryzen 5 1600 bottleneck a 1080ti at Quad HD (2560 x 1440)?

    The Ryzen 5 1600 is a powerful CPU, and I highly doubt that it's going to bottleneck your GTX 1080 Ti at 1440p (That depends on your target framerate, and what game you're playing however). If you really want that performance now, I'd say get the 1080 Ti, but if you don't want any regrets, wait...

    Can i get the gt 1030 to work on my small form factor rig?

    Sorry for the late answer, but when it's a locked bios, it means that you are restricted from changing the hardware. Attempting to do so, will result in your PC refusing to boot. OEMs aren't exactly doing it as much as they did back then, so you should be fine.

    Help! CPU going below base speed

    I have never used an AMD processor before, but my guess is that AMD CPUs are designed to dynamically to changes its frequency multiplier based on the activity. If your computer is on idle, the frequency will be much lower. And when doing something demanding such as gaming, it will ramp up beyond...

    My i7 4790 is idling at 85-90 degrees celsius!!!!!!!

    This question is going to be the most obvious, but have you replaced, and installed the right amount the thermal paste with better quality?
