RX580 8GB is sub-300$? Either you're smoking something or I want to live where you are. The 8GB version is a frackin' 350€ at it's cheapest where I live.

Hi! :) Currently on the market looking for a budget GPU upgrade, and the 1050 Ti looks rather tasty. But I've noticed there are a lot of low profile cards out there. So considering the lesser surface area of the PCB and therefore less space for cooling solutions, a question popped up in my mind...

CPU-Z shows frequency sitting constantly at 3199, as it should with Prime running, I assume. It's the task manager that confuses me. Maybe I should step the overclock back a bit for the sake of temperature. Edit: stopped Prime95 after three hours, now using it as I normally would for a couple...

HI! As the title says, I'm trying to overclock my PC for the first time, and want to make sure it doesn't burn down on me. :D It's a pretty old system: Core 2 Quad Q9400 ASUS P5KC 4x1GB DDR2-800 ASUS Silent Knight copper cooler. OC from 2.66 stock to 3.2 I upped my FSB from 333 to 400, while...

Hi! So I just got my hands on an old Asus Silent Knight cooler, which, as far as I know, is the first edition. Google tells me that the first edition was for old Pentiums and Core 2 Duos, and that the second edition is for Core 2 Quad, but is there really any difference, as they're the same...

Hello. The thought occurred to try and OC my CPU a bit (C2D E6750), but the problem is, my motherboard (MSI P31 Neo-V2) doesn't allow me to raise the multiplier, only possible way is to clock the FSB, and that clocks the RAM too. I've got a set of low-cost and low-performance RAM modules: One...
