My friend sold me his RX580 for a seriously good price to upgrade my 1050Ti. What can I do with it? I would love to give it to someone that needs it or sell it, but it's kind of hard to do with the quarantine on right now.

I broke the 12v pin off my fan header on my motherboard and I want to run 2 fans in parallel on the same header. If I do that, will my fan speeds be effectively decreased by half or will it just draw more amps? (I don't remember what I learned at school...)

Thanks a lot, removed the battery, got to 3.9 in a single core stress test!

I haven't seen anything above 3.5 in any situation, but no, no cpu was ever installed before the 6600k

I went to task manager today and saw that my CPU base speed was 3.10 Ghz, compared to the 3.50Ghz I'm supposed to get with a 6600k. I then went into the registry editor and set the start value in intelppm to 4, that seemed to fix my speed by making it always run at 3.5 Ghz. But now Turbo boost...

Also I haven't wiped any other drives than my SSD, which has Windows installed

So I decided to be the smartest man on earth and downloaded some cracked software without AV and I got a virus (Surprise!). Now I can't open any EXE files, except Steam and File explorer. The reason of steam and explorer running is probably because they are higher in the startup apps priority...

I can access the BIOS, but I see no settings for USB boot devices.

I want to install Windows on my portable LAN PC and when I try to boot from my Windows 10 USB installation drive the system displayed "disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter". Sometimes it gave me an error code PXE-E61 when I enable LAN boot. I tried resetting the CMOS, use only 1...

I opened up a hard drive and forgot to copy some data before doing it, so now my drive is no longer functionning. The data on it isn't especially critical, just some photos and videos of my family and my cat. Did anyone ever had to recover the data? If yes, how much did it cost and for what...

I have some friends coming over for a LAN party. My internet speed pretty bad and we are probably going to play on our own servers. The problem is that we have 20 people playing in the same place and I don't know how to set up a server for that many people. I think I got the right equipement for...

I was looking for a motherboard and found a very recent Gigabyte motherboard with 2 PCI slots. This is literally last-century technology.

I have a i5 6600k and im looking to overclock it but i need a motherboard that has a z or x chipset. I have a budget of 150$ CAD and I need a micro atx or mini itx form factor. I also need a M.2 port and as many PCIe ports as possible. Thank you
