    Best CPUs (Archive)

    What the actual heck... Did you idiots even test the Ryzen CPUs or just look at Intel's provided info in the case of money they handed you? I can believe the Pentium recommendation at the bottom end (only because R3 hasn't launched yet) and the 7700k because at this instant it out preforms the...

    Insane stutter in Youtube fullscreen

    So I've got a weird problem that's popped up the last few days. Basically on Firefox whenever I go to full screen the video for the first few seconds it's all good, but then for no reason it goes to maybe 1fps if not 1 frame every other second. Now going back out of full screen fixes it, goes...

    Throwing a 7950 into an underpower system

    Kind of hard to describe and google just has a bunch of gamers that want to throw a high end card in a 230w rig and expect it to work. My situation is just a curious question, I've got a crappy system gathering dust in the corner (Athlon x2 240 I believe with 4gb ram and a Delta 250w power...

While the resources monitor in 2 different programs showed the same thing when i looked at it in task manager and it gave the breakdown all ram was accounted for.

    Mixing Ram Problem.

    I'll try that but it recognizes all 4 sticks and even reads out most of the memory kind of weird that it would be a bad install causing less that the full stick to not register.

    Mixing Ram Problem.

    Hey so I've decided to do the stupid thing and mix different RAM. Now I did my research a little bit and got ram with the same timings (9-9-9-24 @1.5v). 1 set is Kingston ram @1333mhz (2x4gb) the other is Corsair Vengeance @1600mhz (2x4gb). Yes I know that the ram down clocks to the lowest...

    Skyrim FPS Drop In Towns?

    It's probably a CPU bottleneck NPC's if I remember correctly are CPU intensive and can bring weaker cpus down.

    High durability budget SSD

    The OCZ is nice, and actually didn't show up for me when I was looking last night so good find. Sucks you don't have m.2 compatibility they are nice. Honestly for the price that ssd will probably be the best bang for you buck. In fact looking at it I would go with the OCZ if I wasn't then I'd...

    High durability budget SSD

    As an aside a lot of ssd's top out at around 1 petabyte of read/write use (think pro level ssds) so honestly it comes down to a few factors.: Are you on a professional level? If any real amount of money is riding on this then we need to forgo the consumer market and skip to pro level stuff...
