Thanks. Appreciate it

Hello I just got a Gigabyte 3080 about a month ago. I go to replace my CPU cooler and realize I need to take the mobo out to install. I start by removing the GPU and then bam, my hand is covered in some oily substance. I look at the front of the card and there's this mysterious oil. Its not the...

Oops, accidentally put this in memory instead of storage, can a moderator move this please? Thanks

Hello all, I got an OCZ RD400, 512GB, M.2, Nvme ssd recently. It came preinstalled in a PCI adapter but my ASUS TUF B350M-PLUS GAMING mobo already has a M.2 port on it. Which port should I choose to install this drive in? Will one provide faster speeds than the other? Thank you all

If your CPU is already bottle necking with a lower powered GPU, Buying a higher powered GPU wont improve performance, you'll still be bottle necked. You need to upgrade both the GPU and CPU to parts that match well together to prevent a bottleneck.

Hello! I have been having various problems with my PC recently such as random error messages, a few failed boots, and most annoyingly, stutters in Rocket League. I Googled and tried a fix to Rocket League, didn't work so I wiped my drives and reinstalled Windows and the error messages went away...

Hello, I need help deciding between a processor. Currently, I have a ATi 5870 and an AMD 760k. Unfortunately, in GTA V I get serious frame drops and really odd rendering problems. Others have had success with this graphics card in the same game, so after testing I eventually learned I was...

So i'm trying to make a budget build for my friend, and in order to get under his $600 budget (which includes a monitor which makes it very challenging), I need a cheap but effective CPU. The 4360 looked promising, but I want to make sure there is no bottle necking issues. I also would like to...

Thank you all for your answers, i will be saving up the extra money for a 970.

Hey guys, simple question: I have a friend who got a new computer and wants to sell his EVGA (3GB) GTX 770 card and I wanted to know is the about $90 price difference worth a 970 or is the 770 a good deal. Thanks (I don't care about the memory difference)
