    Temporary red lights on a mobo - are they normal ?

    Ok thanks guys. I indeed looked quickly at the ASUS manual but they arent refering much at the described situation (temporary red lights after pressing power button). They only saying it's bad when red lights are staying on. So I was on a gray area.

    My Passmark rating seems way to low

    I'm using these becnhmarks to compare: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html They go up to 22 000. (it was weird to hit only 5375 with a good system) But I'm starting to realize that my number is a system rating score and I'm comparing with CPU only benchmarks. I'm on a legit Win10 OEM.

    Hyper Thread and heavy multitasking

    Thats what I thought, thank you basroil. I will still go with the i5, and drop the i7, because i'm planning to play games like The Division, witcher 3 or Far cry 4 on high/ ultra settings.

    Hyper Thread and heavy multitasking

    Hello guys, I'm still wondering if I will go with the i5-6600k or the i7-6700k (I have actualy a i7-860). I also hope to get a better general understanding of CPUs after this question. I'm skeptic about how I would really benefit of HT and multitasking if I go toward the i7 (Or if I will...

    Most optimized built for this budget

    Hello guys, Here's my final built. Is there anything you would change to get the most out of this gaming PC? I'm mainly talking about manufacturers and best compatibility matches for this budget. For example; I was skeptic about the mobo and the r9 combination. Or even the PSU and the r9...

    What should I change in this build ?

    Hello guys, I have finally decided to build my own PC. Not only the cost efficiency ratio is way better, but I just found a friend of mine who will help with the fact that I havent touch computer's hardware for the last 4-5 years - that was the main reason pre-built seemed appealing at first...
