    6700k seems to be running really slow! no idea why.

    Just reran user benchmark and got this! http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/1028370 Thanks so much guys! I really dropped some cash on this build and was super concerned when I saw the initial tests. Now its running beautifully. Since the only thing I actually changed was my power settings...

    6700k seems to be running really slow! no idea why.

    Alright, lets start with specs. CPU: 6700k Motherboard: ASRock Z170 Extreme 7+ CPU Cooler: H240 X2 GPU: MSI R9 390 SSD: Crucial MX100 512GB PSU: EVGA Supernova 850 G2 Given these components, it seems like this would be an excellent build, but for some reason I am experiencing significant lag...

    Help changing from an OEM version of windows 10 to the full version?

    Alright guys, so just like everyone else on here, I built a gaming PC and now I want to upgrade it to skylake. For me that means a new motherboard. Problem is, the operating system I originally bought was an OEM copy of windows 7. Thus, when I took the free upgrade to windows 10, I got an OEM...

    Where can I get a Swiftech H240-X?

    Question is in the title, but I will note this extends to either the H240-X or the H220-X. If anyone can find a store that has one and ships to the central U.S. I would greatly appreciate the help!! I almost suspect they quit making them because no one has them in stock. Is this true...

    Questions on Corsair A.I.O. CPU Coolers.

    Hello all, I've been keeping an eye on the 6700k pretty closely for a while and I think I am about to buy it. Since this CPU does not come with any form of cooler I thought this would also be a great opportunity to jump into seriously water cooling and overclocking my CPU. I have...

    R9 390 or GTX 970

    As someone who was asking this same question not long ago, I understand the internal conflict. I was holding fast to the 970 for a long time but I ended up with an MSI R9 390. I must say, I am happy with my choice. the card runs hot, idle around 140F, but it performs very well and I got a decent...

    r9 390 problem

    Sounds like a minor glitch. Sometimes when exiting games in that fashion the drivers kinda freak out. If you exit the game using its regular quit button it will be less likely to mess up. All and all, its probably nothing.

    MSI Radeon R9 390 underperforming

    I gotta second everything Turbo said and just wanted to add that my msi 390 has BF4 running at nearly constant 60fps. My guess is its the CPU overall. Since you have decided to go for dedicated graphics, I see no reason to stay with an AMD CPU. Come over to the Intel side of the fence. Its nice...

    R9 390, temperature 90C, fan speed 100%

    MSI Afterburner will not void your warranty in the slightest and I highly recommend you look through any software such as Afterburner you have installed to ensure that the fan is not set at 100% constant instead of auto. I have the same GPU from MSI and even when I reach 90C the fans dont reach...
