Hi, I built my PC about three years ago and have been struggling to get adequate noise levels and temperatures ever since with my 9700k. I started with two stock fans and a Cryorig H7 and have since upgraded a number of components which are the following: i7-9700k (stock/4.6ghz turbo)...

Hi, I've had my RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio for about one year now, and this is the first time I've had any serious issues. The issues first started when Modern Warfare had a fatal DirectX crash, when I tried to relaunch, as soon as anything had to be rendered and the GPU core clock increased, the...

Ok, I didn't think 4.6ghz was that high of a clock as I had seen 5.0ghz at 1.275v. I've also seen other people with Kraken X62 liquid aios and 280mm liquid coolers getting not that much better temps.

Hi, I just built my system a few days ago with a 9700k and an RTX 2080. My motherboard is the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro WiFi and I am using a Cryorig H7 Plus cooler (push and pull config). When I first used the PC I left the mobo settings on default and was getting about 35c idle on all cores, 70c...

I live in Ireland and I was browsing graphics cards on Amazon UK and I came across this Zotac GTX 1080 AMP Extreme for 428 Pounds, 500 Euro or 530 Dollars. Is this too good to be true? Seller has great rating and is selling about 10,000 products. Last screenshot is suspicious as box contains...

Thanks, I don't really have enough to get a new psu and i'm not sure i'll be able to reconfigure all the cables as i'm interested, but have never built/upgraded a pc before. What I think I am going to do is get an FX-6300 and a GTX 750ti, as I think that is close to the maximum my PC can take at...

Thanks so much guys. I can't upgrade my psu at least at the moment, so, my final question is does anyone know a good graphics card for 1080p titles at medium to high or even very high/ultra that would be ok with my system? Thanks.

What I just want to make sure is this, I have a 500w psu, I have a M5A78L-M motherboard, an FX-4350, 1tb HDD and 8gb of ram. I want to make sure I can install an FX-6300 and a GTX 960, using two molex's into a 6 pin adapter for the graphics card. I just want to be reassured that it is possible...

Im not sure about the make, I think it is Atrix and it is 500w, but it has no pci-e leads just a hole with loads of wires coming out with the two molex's

Thanks guys, I will get the 6 pin model. Also are the black 4 pin connectors molex's or not, they have fan wires coming out the top? Is there any way I can send you a pic?

The EVGA GTX 960 seems to have an 8 pin, correct me if im wrong?

Hi, I was looking at getting a GTX 960 and was going to use adapters from my 2 molex's to get to an 8 pin. I was looking at my molexs and noticed there were wires coming out of nearly all of them to power the fans. Are they not usable or are they not molexs at all. (they are black) I am a...
