I recently was playing a game on my PC when it suddenly gave me a blue screen of death after which it restarted and then it stopped posting while the orange DRAM LED on the motherboard stayed on. I checked on the internet and it said it might have to do something with my RAM sticks so i swapped...

I'm worried about the motherboard pins not the CPU that's what has been bothering me

I am not new to PC building by any means but the case that I was working with this time was a tight one and I was installing the standoffs for the Cooler MasterAir MA620P on a B660 motherboard (ASUS TUF) and I accidentally dropped one of the standoffs on the CPU and the height of the fall was...

so in short those "overclocks" are not gonna give me a significant FPS boost?

wait isn't 103x39 too much? i mean i just want a minor boost not 4.017ghz cus i don't have the cooling for it, i wanted to keep it minor because i thought i'd get away with a few hundred mhz with the stock cooler. i've got a few videos from youtube on the i7 2600 and gtx 1070 View...

so the xeon e3 1270 that i just bought is probably gonna arrive tomorrow and i also got a ASUS p8h67m-le motherboard for it i was wondering if i could overclock the xeon with my current motherboard, i mean i only want to squeeze an extra 150mhz or 200mhz cus i've seen some benchmarks of the i7...

so there will be a bottleneck but not so much that would ruin my experience

That's the thing i ended spending 300AUD on a 1070 and now my budget would only allow me to get an i7 2600 or i5 3570 so which one of those two would give me a rather good enough experience cus i wanna game at 1080p max settings @60FPS

UPDATE !!! so things went south and now i've got 2 choices either a xeon e3 1270 (which is basically an i7 2600) or i can go with an i5 3570, so which one would go better with the gtx 1070? personally i'm thinking of the xeon but i would like to know what you guys have to say

so i looked up some benchmarks on youtube and found some for a xeon e3 1270 v2 instead of a 1230 v2 there's no difference between the two except that the 1270 runs on a base frequency of 3.50 ghz and boost of 3.90 ghz and the 1230 runs on a base of 3.30 ghz and a boost of 3.70 ghz how much of a...

so the xeon would be good enough for the 1070?

so i recently decided to build a PC for myself and i need a little help since i can't decide between the xeon e3 1230 v2 and i7 3770 the xeon costs 49 usd and the i7 3770 costs about 95 to 102 usd just how much of a difference is between the two in terms of gaming i mean i can't find benchmarks...
