If you're really gonna go all out with the thermal paste, I would get Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. I'm very biased here and shill for this paste a lot when people ask for recommendations for paste. Its one of, if not the highest performing thermal compounds you can buy. Its basically getting free...

This is going to sound stupid but I've never overclocked before. Just overclocked my 7700K to 5GHZ all cores, 1.32 volts. It's running the Intel extreme utility stress test right now and is cruising at 70-73 degrees, not even over 15 degrees hotter than when i ran it at stock! Is that even...

When you say 5ghz, is that all cores? Boost clock or base?

I play 1080p 144hz, ultra settings wherever possible. . I might upgrade to a 1440p or 4k display in the future. Not an FPS snob but frames below 100 makes my eyes twitch. I play multiplayer shooters mostly, or RTS, and me and the boys getting into combat sim games, which for some reason are...

Maaan I didn't even think about the DDR5 upgrade! Maybe I'll hold off lol

Corsair HX 850i. its about four years old i think? I got it in an RMA after the first one got struck my lightning and don't remember exactly how long ago that was lol.

Henlo, frens. I recently posted on the forums about overclocking my current 7700k. But, I was also thinking about splurging and getting a new 12900K if I find performance gain from the overclock to be lacking. But, I'm fairly certain that would just mean I have a comically overpowered CPU...

Just a basic question about overclocking potential on this absolute furnace of a CPU. Current set up I have is a 7700k, delidded (thermal grizzly conductonaut liquid metal on inside, Kryonaut paste on outside), with a Noctua NH-D15. A very premium cooling set up, and this will drive everyone...

Closing this question to help future people. I had a short-circuit! A screw from my case had fallen inside the case and as making contact with the motherboard, preventing it from turning on.

What are the symptoms of a dying water pump? Other than crazy temperatures. If I find out it is dying, what would be a good replacement for this case?

Hello, everyone. I have been having some crazy thermals on my i7 7700k recently. Nothing in this system is overclocked. My build is as follows CPU: Intel i7 7700k CPU Cooler: Corsair H115i 280mm with be quiet fans, fans set to exhaust out top vents More CPU cooling: the processor has been...

I am at a total loss. Last night my computer was working fine, but today its totally dead. All I did was play Battlefield. The computer turns on but doesnt boot. All the case fans and lights inside are on and working. None of the USB devices power on and the monitor stays black. I even tried...

As the title says, I can't get into my BIOS. I need to do that to fix the problem with my cloned harddrive. I have pressed the del key, held f2 and pressed the del key, pressed f8, held down del and f2, nothing works. I literally just did it this morning, but now it's suddenly not working...

I just got a new 8gb stick of Crucial Ballistix to go with the one I already have. Windows 10 says that I have 16GB of RAM installed, but only 7.98GB is usable. It also says that the new stick of 8GB is "reserved". How do I make my new stick usable? My MOBO is an ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
