    FX-8350 clocked at 1.32-1.37 GHz in windows?

    Disable the power saving features for the processor in your bios and see if it makes any difference. Your cpu will not work harder than it needs to. Therefore it will clock down itself when doing light stuff.

    Final thoughts on this build?

    You don't need 1000w for two 980ti's. And an air cooler will do just fine for overclocking the cpu.

    OC FX 6300 or Non-OC FX 8320e, GAMING

    This recent comparison shows that the fx-6300 can be a significant cpu bottleneck for high-end cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dLYPs41guM For mid-range graphic cards I wouldn't worry too much. Personally I'd pick the 8320. I use the fx-8350 myself.

    Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 vs MSI R9 390

    Both have the ability to record videos without any lose of performance but I feel that nvidia shadowplay is more straightforward to use. Personally I'd buy the one that's cheaper or quieter.

    Dayz 60% max cpu usage?!

    You should look at your gpu usage first. If it stays around 100% most of the time then everything is ok.

    Could you link us the laptop models you were thinking of getting?

    Gaming pc quicky Overheat (Without Cooler)

    Have you checked which component in your pc is overheating. And are you using the stock cooler? You shouldn't need anything else.

    FX-8350 vs i7-4790 for Sony Vegas + gameplay recording

    Most intel cpu's beat AMD in single core performance and you'll probably be better off spending a little bit more on an i7 instead of the amd fx 8350. The chip is over 2.5 years old now. However AMD is releasing the new "Zen" cpus for desktops in 2016 and it looks promising. You can wait for...

    Is rooting safe?

    It's very hard to permanently brick your phone. There is pretty much always a way to fix it through adb/fastboot. The real pros of rooting is almost complete freedom of your device, so you can do almost anything with it. Practical advantages are: adblocking, faster performance, sometimes...

    Need a quiet PSU for r9 290

    Hi. I'm interested in buying a new power supply for my system. Currently I'm using an r9 290 + fx 8350. Right now I'm using an XFX Proseries 850w bronze certified psu. The problem is that it's extremely loud under load. (The actual fan spinning is making noise). It's way louder than all the...

    Phenom x4 9650 + Gtx 750ti or R7 260x?

    Pick the one that's cheaper. They're equally good in most games. Both overclock good too.

    overclocking an i5 3570k (for the mentally handicapped)

    No the cpu can't bottleneck your graphics card. It's not going to happen. It's way more likely that something in your system that is overheating or you're running windows and you've got malware. Not to mention that heaven benchmark is for benchmarking gpu's. Even a dual core shouldn't affect...
