    Question is it safe to use microfiber towel washed with detergent to remove old thermal paste?

    Obviously I'm going to use it completely dry but do detergents/fabric softeners leave residue on cloth that may be harmful to the CPU?

    Question I'm confused about FM2+ cpus memory specifications.

    If I use an independent graphics card instead of the integrated graphics card, the lower ram speed wouldn't affect the cpu as much. Okay! I think that answers the question. Thank you.

    Question I'm confused about FM2+ cpus memory specifications.

    https://www.amd.com/en/product/5701 I checked most of the CPUs and it says "Memory Specification: 1866mhz or 2133mhz" Does that mean I absolutely need ram sticks at that frequency or else it wouldn't work? I can't use 1333/1600 ram sticks? I thought ram sticks only need to be compatible...

I asked because some CPUs need DDR4, DDR3L Okay. So what I'm getting from your comment is that it doesn't matter as long...

    Question I have a question about CPU memory compatibility.

    For example, AMD A8-5600k needs DDR3-1866. If I were to plug it into a mobo that supports DDR3 1333,1600,1866.. BUT with a ram stick that is only DDR3 1333 or 1600, will it still work? or do I absolutely need a 1866 mem card?

    Question is this PSU leaking or not?

    He bought it brand new and used it to power an i3-2120 +4gb ram + hdd + low end gpu for 3 years before he upgraded. It sat around for about 6 months in his storage then gave it to me. He told me it was still working when he stopped using it. I know this PSU is capable of handling my build. I'm...

    Question is this PSU leaking or not?

    My friend gave me his old CorsairVS450 after my PSU unexpectedly died. He told me to clean it first and this is what I found. View: https://imgur.com/a/7EK53dW It looks like brownish glue. I don't know if it's normal like the white goop. I checked all the capacitors and none of them are...
