    What drivers do I need for my motherboard?

    What drivers do I need for my motherboard?

    But won't I need the USB drivers first to detect the USB? I was planning on downloading the drivers I need onto my SSD and once I install the new board the drivers I downloaded should all (hopefully) be sitting on my desktop where I put them, ready to install.

    Wrong CPU Temperature Measurement?

    Something I should add is that as soon as I log into my PC, CoreTemp opens and displays around about what the BIOS displayed, but then the value starts to reduce. Perhaps the BIOS is displaying the worst case scenario or something?

    Wrong CPU Temperature Measurement?

    So recently found out something a little strange. I have been using "CoreTemp" to monitor my CPU temps, however a few moments ago I had to edit something in the BOIS and came across the CPU temperature monitor in there and it was displaying a different value, quite different to the CoreTemp one...

    Negative GPU Bottleneck effects?

    I currently have an AMD FX 6300 and am about to upgrade my graphics card to a GTX 970 STRIX. I have done some research and apparently the 6300 will bottleneck the card. However I do plan on upgrading my CPU soon too, but it may not be for a few months. I don't care if the performance of the 970...

    2x 2TB 7200rpm or 1x 4TB 5900rpm?

    Title says it all. It is cheaper for me to buy the single 4TB HDD (Only by about $10), however it is only 5900RPM whereas the double 2TB HDDs will be 7200RPM. Will mainly be using them to record to and maybe occasionally store games on. What should I go for?

    Title says it all. I don’t play many games, but mostly Arma 3, so I would like to upgrade the side that would give the best performance for that game (either GPU or CPU upgrade). I will eventually upgrade both my GPU and CPU however until then I can only afford to upgrade one side. I am...
