    Are these good OC temps for the i5 4690k?

    The TJ is the distance to the maximum temperature your CPU will support before starting to throttle or shutdown. In your case, you get good temps but you are ideling which doesn't put much strain on the CPU. You should consider stress tests like AIDA64 or Prime95 to see what temp you get in...

    Choosing a right CPU is not an easy choice but you should look at other things than clock speed when you are looking for a CPU. The best way to find your perfect CPU is to look at benchmarks and especially real-life benchmarks. Core Clocks, Number of cores, Locked frequency and lots of other...

    Tight Budget Gaming PC Build

    The G3258 is a good choice for everything but Witcher 3 since it can't run on dual-core CPUs. You would need something like an i3 or i5 to run this game. If you have a high enough budget get something like this: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i3-4150...

    can a dell optiplex 755 sff use gtx 750 ti?

    Sorry but your PSU is way to underpowered to run both of these cards. Even if you could, the RAM would prevent from playing modern games. If you have enough cash to buy a 970, you should definitvly throw away the whole build since almost everything in it is outdated. Source for the 970 Source...

    can i fit a am3+ cpu to my acer aspire m5400 with the MB.SE109.002 motherboard ?(http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acer-Aspire-M5400)

    No you can't. Your motherboard, that looks like this i suppose (http://www.ascendtech.us/acer-m5400-mb-se109-002-amd-motherboard_i_mb1090022103b9b.aspx) has an AM3 socket which is not compatible with newer CPUs like an AM3+ one. However, the other way around is possible.

    New CPU, No Signal

    When you boot your PC, you should hear things power up. Can you hear the PSU fan? The case fans? Does your LEDs light up? Usually, when a monitors shows "No Signal" there is a problem with the graphics. What CPU did you installed? Is it compatible with the motherboard? Try checking if your...

    I7-6700k and 3500kbps?

    Your CPU will be able to handle about everything you throw at it for a couple years. You may need to check your internet capabilities, a slow Internet might cause problem for high-end streaming.

    Intel 4790k vs. 5820k vs. 6700k

    The 5820k would be the best CPU for your needs but withy all these cores (8) comes a price. In gaming, you will get about the same performance as the 4790k or the 6700k. Where you see a difference is in Photo/Video Editing or in other CPU heavy tasks as you will benefit from the additional...

    Fx6300 + Zotac 750 ti = CPU overheating.

    Have you built you PC yourself? If yes, check how much thermal paste is applied on your CPU. Normaly, there shouldn't more than a bean-sized amount of thermal paste. If there is too much, I'd recommand removing a little bit but in the improbable case where you don't have enough you may have to...

    Can I upgrade this cpu?

    I would recommand you to ditch your PC and build a new one from scratch. LGA 1155 is a quite old socket. You could get decent and recent CPUs for half the price of a possible upgarde.

    i7 5820k idel temperature around 55 degree

    1. What is the ambient temperature of the room. This might be a critical factor, if your room is at 40 degree, you shouldnt expect your CPU to be at 25. 2. Overclocking SLI-ed GPUs can bring lots of heat in your case if there's not proper airflow to dissipate it. Check you case and GPUs...

    I would recommand the NH-L9i. It is cooler and quieter than the others and is not that pricy.
