With the CPU, it could be the nm, could b bottleneck in the mobo, could be actual speed. If I knew which, it could help me shop a new one. Ive seen comparison charts for CPU's and I see my CPU not performing as well but, again, I dont know why. Also, Ive abandoned the idea of using a TV for...

Im considering a monitor designed for gaming like this one > https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G6M40227 any foreseeable issues between it and my hardware? Resolution seems to be within limits. Thanx, again. P.S. Still dont know why my CPU is maxing out during gameplay on the...

Are my PC specs showing up in "signature"? I can post them if not. Thank you. I looked into the Game Mode thing and my TV does appear change its "scene selection" to Game Mode appropriately. By default, it should turn off the features you listed on it's own when it goes into Game Mode. As a...

I bought a 43 inch 4K TV ( https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1317748-REG/sony_xbr_43x800e_x800e_series_43_4k.html ) and now my CPU maxes out and I have mouse lag when I play my fav game Rainbow 6 Seige. Also, according to my hardware monitor GPU and RAM r within limits. Hope I asked my...

Im having a similar issue with mouse lag but I suspect my CPU bc when I look at my hardware monitor, the CPU is maxed but my GPU's(dual GTX 970's in SLI)are fine for usage and temperatures.

Should I use MSI GEForce Experience app recommendation for game settings on Rainbow 6 Seige or use the game's recommended settings? GEForce recommendation has better detail but, according to the game, its pushing my graphics RAM limitations into the red zone.

I run 2 MSI GEForce GTX 970 graphic cards. Can I use that to play games like Rainbow 6 Seige on a 43 inch TV? Also, whats a good TV for that setup? 1080p is good enuff for me if I can find a less expensive model. So, the cheapest TV with good build quality and at least 1080p quality and will my...

I have an SSD with Windows 7 64bit OS on it and a regular hard drive that I want to install Windows Movie Maker software on. Right now the hard drive is labeled as "Unallocated" in Disk Management and the software didnt seem to install onto and operate off of the secondary hard drive I installed...

They probably used a keylogger. Ive started using Malwarebytes before typing in any of my passwords and card information..Its probably a prank from someone Ive met online. The 4 purchases were $8 to $13 but I want to keep them out of my PC.

I got hacked(prank from someone online amounting to $40 in theft from Walmart from my debit card)and Id like to know how to keep people out of my PC so that they cant do that again. Thank you.

Thanx for confirmation. HNY, all!

Im about to have 16GB of RAM but currently have 8GB. So for the 16GB what should I do? Maybe I could do 4GB min/max for VM? Ive been having issues with 1 of my games maxing out the 8GB of RAM I have so Im trying to solve that. Thanx for replying!

Im n BIOS and it wont offer me the 2133 speed thing Im s'posed to have, only goes up to 1600 in options and cpu-z says I have 800MHz speed. Im at my wits end with this 970 Gaming mobo! I watched a tutorial for it and I can leave a link for hardware I have but I just reinstalled the OS and the...
