So, I started downloading Grand Theft Auto V and a few minutes later i could hear a very faint rattle. It seems to last a few seconds at a time and is sporadic. It's not obnoxious or anything but i can hear it every now and then. I stop the download and it seems to stop. I made sure that it...

So, i've been running prime95 for a while now and the hottest my fx-8320 got was 35 Celsius. I also just got the CM Hyper 212 evo, so i thought it was just a really good cooler. However, when i looked at my cpu core frequencies, there would be at least one core throttled down to about 2.9Ghz. I...

So I plan on getting a 120gb SSD for my OS and potentially some Steam games.However, I've heard that an SSD does not like to read and write in extreme cases and could potential degrade the SSD. However, is this true? If so, what games should I keep away from putting on an SSD? Thanks. :)

Today I just got the CM Hyper 212 evo cooler and i must say that the temps seem too good to be true. After installing the cooler and running prime95 to get the thermal paste to ease in. However, after half an hour of running prime95, the max temp was 35 degrees C on both Core Temp and HWMonitor...

Title pretty much says it all, i've been running prime95 as a stability test for my cpu OC for the past half hour and the hottest my cpu has gotten was 55 degrees and then down to 53. This seems odd because i've played games where my cpu gets up to 58-60 degrees celsius. Is there settings in...

I recently started to overclock my FX-8320 from 3.5GHz to 3.8GHz and i am thinking of going up to 4.0GHz because i've seen people talk about being stable at 4.2Ghz. If I do go to 4.0GHz, should I up the voltage? Here are my specs: Mobo: Gigabyte 970A-d3p CPU: FX-8320 RAM: Corsair Vengeance...

So, a couple friends and I got together to play some games on LAN and whatnot. However, we cannot connect to our servers. We all have internet access and connected to the same network. What is the problem. Please help and thank you in advance. :)

Ok, long story short, over the past couple days i've gotten the BSOD at least 5 times with the error of either 0x0000001A or 0x00000050. I had a pretty good idea that it was a memory problem so i ran the windows memory diagnostic test. After i ran the test it was confirmed that i do in fact have...

ok, so I have a Saphire Radeon 7850 (1024 stream processors) and a AMD FX-4100 quad core cpu (3.6GHz). I also have 8gbs of DDR3 RAM.

ok, so i got my new graphics card for christmas and it seemd to install the new drivers flawlessly. However, i just went to my friends house and i plugged my computer into his HD TV, and i noticed that for some reason i didnt have any audio. So i went into my sound program and it said that my...
