So I was probably being stupid and closed task manager before I saw the CPU usage jump on startup. So I did a Cinebench r23 test and for multi-core got 18207 pts with the max temp at 95.6 @ 100% Usage. Right now it is idling at 42.9. I also played CS2 a little bit and it maxed at like 86.5 but...

So I just finished my first build and everything seemed to go well. I did a test boot and my CPU temps were staying pretty consistent, I finished everything up and so as I was back in my room setting up windows and drivers I noticed that the CPU fans started going a lot louder, I looked at...

I'm almost finished with my build, and the last thing I am looking for is the Motherboard. I have my eyes on quite a few but right now I am down to: ASRock B650E PG Riptide Wifi ATX (189.99 @ Amazon), Probably the most I wanna spend. Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX ATX (177.69 @ Amazon) and maybe...

And wow a 4070 Ti Super would be great but will a R 5 7600 be able to keep up with it?

It's mostly for gaming but I might do a bit of editing and work. And does the 7800x3D really give that much more performance compared to the 7700x for 200 more dollars?

My first time building, I previously had a premade. Looking to jump from 1080 to 1440, and hopefully not need to upgrade for at least a few years. Let me know how it looks. Would you change anything? PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pX74KX CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 4.5 GHz...

Hello, Right now I am planning on doing a massive overhaul of my setup and have landed on getting a 4070 Super/7900 GRE. For now, up until Black Friday and possibly later I am on 1080p, and from what I understand is that at lower resolution you have a more likely chance for the CPU to...

Those seem like some very good options thank you. Also looking at PCPartPicker I'm pretty sure I would need a new CPU cooler as well does that seem right?

It's not an AIO, and it doesn't have PWM control so I can't check it's rpm

I have a 7-7700k cpu that is not oc'd. When I moved to college I noticed that it was seriously struggling to do anything at all after downloading a bunch of GPU drivers. I figured out that the CPU was running at 100c so I decided to not use it till I can get it fixed. FF to me getting home with...

Last Christmas I was lucky enough to get all the parts to build what I think is a strong gaming/editing pc Specs: Gtx 1070 Founders Edition I7-7700k 16GB Ram And so this year I was hoping to plunge into Vr and get a Htc Vive which comes with Fallout Vr. However I am anxious that my Gtx 1070...

I have bought and received a new prebuilt. However despite what reviews said of the computer coming with a MSI GTX 1070 Armor OC. I got a founders edition, So i spoke to the company that sent me the computer, and I was informed that although it is unusual they never specified what type of 1070...

I want to get an i5-6600k but I would have to upgrade my mobo and cooler if I want to overclock. So what I am asking is would it be worth it to overclock it.

I am looking at this pc as I feel it's good for me as my plan is to get a pc that will last and be able to play newer games on high setting at 1080p. What's worrying me is because I don't have to right mobo or cooler I can't overclock the i5-6600k. In the future I hope upgrade the mobo and...
