It could also possibly be coil whine? Im not 100% sure on that though. Would that damage my PSU if I keep it connected to the Inverter for an hour or so when we have power outages? It wont be a frequent daily thing to use the inverter, more so when I have to use my system for work or university...

Make of the UPS is Kstar (probably some generic brand) and the inverter is from a small South African company with zero online presence unfortunately, I cant see any proper branding, but regardless its been working like a dream for a while now, so it seems like good quality? Definitely not a top...

So I dont know much about power/voltages and all that, and this may be an easy fix but I am currently lost. PSU - Seasonic 520w S12II series 80+ Bronze GPU - RX 580 8GB CPU - Ryzen 5 3600 Mobo - X470 Gaming Pro Recently we have been having regular power outages (South Africa), and my family...

Hi there, About two months ago my cousin bought components for his 1st gaming pc and has started having some issues. Specs: GPU - MSI GTX 1660S CPU -R5 3600 RAM - generic 1x16GB 3200Mhz MOBO - Asus A320M-k PSU - Antec VP650 Plus I helped him assemble the pc and for two months it worked...

Hi guys, Quick question. Which would you recommend between the two? 1600 (non X) vs 3400g I havent found a lot of info online about a comparison between the two chips as its a bit of a weird comparison, but right now I am stuck deciding between the two. Yes going for the 3600 would be a better...

Starting off with the specs. GPU - GTX 1050 2GB CPU - Intel i3 6100 Mobo - Asus H110M-K RAM - 8GB DDR4 2666Mhz Hi guys, so over the past month or two frame stuttering has become an increasingly more annoying thing I've had to deal with. I understand my specs are not the greatest by any means...

Meant the i3-6100, not 3100 sorry

Current specs GTS 450s 1GB (filling the gap of the 760) Intel i3 6100 8GB DDR4 2100Mhz 550w Seasonic 80+ Bronze PSU So my GTX 760 2GB recently fried itself after years of usage and I am now looking for a GPU to replace it. I have been looking around (live in South Africa) and GPU prices...

Now before you say "i5 has more cores, performs better in all games, better value" and so on, I need to give you some background. I currently have a Pentium G2030 with 8GB DDR3 and a GTX 760 micro card. I game, a lot. But prices here in South Africa are extremely high for PC parts. I play...

Is it at all possible to use a set of 2.1 speakers simultaneously to a 5.1 surround sound set? The ones i currently have are decent but don't provide the volume and bass I'd like. Firstly, seen as Im using a desktop PC, would I be able to get a Aux splitter for the 2 systems to play sounds at...

Thats what I was hoping for, pretty much anything is better than my Pentium G2030. And as there is a large gaming event happening here soon, I may then go for possibly an i5-4690k and Z97 if they come down to a good price. The main reason like I said, and it sounds sad, but would be for the...

Currently I have a Pentium G2030 LGA 1155 CPU. Fairly old, fairly weak. Now I recently got a small amount of cash, and here in South Africa, PC Parts are A LOT more expensive than most places. So I with Skylake lauching I have two options, either upgrade my CPU, Motherboard and RAM now, to...
