Wow, thanks! It seems you really know your stuff. I'll be going with that Scythe Fuma. I took a closer look, and the asymmetric design seems to account for high profile RAM which is great. And that's some really nice insight on modern overclocking. I had no intention of overclocking, but now...

Thanks for the reply. I suppose you're right, this thing doesn't seem to be up to the task at all. I should note that, although my PC was running an old i7, it was by far the most outdated part in the computer. The chassis is actually quite large and has good airflow. The Scythe Fuma you...

Recently I upgraded my CPU from an i7 6700 to a Ryzen 7 5800X with a basic cooler. I've noticed that when I'm playing games on my PC or performing various high demanding tasks, this thing sounds like an AC unit ready to go supernova. It gets loud. Louder than any home PC I've ever heard and I'm...

I just upgraded my GPU from an RX 580 to an RX 5700XT. I had trouble seating the card in for quite a bit, and I was able to get it far enough to supposedly make full contact with the PCIe slot but the locking mechanism won't fully click in. Not sure if that's an issue or not. I ran 3 consistent...

Thanks for your response, and I apologize but I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right page. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 I assume I follow the steps listed here?

I have two PCs, each with Windows 10 Home 64-bit linked to its own Microsoft account. Each are running Windows on a 1TB HDD right now. One I'd like to simply switch from the current HDD to another 1TB HDD, and the other I'd like to upgrade to a 2TB SSD with a UEFI-based partition. I do not have...

I'm currently building a second PC with the spare parts I've accumulated over the years and I'm having trouble getting Windows 7 to work. I'm using a laptop hard drive that was pre-installed with Windows 7 OEM on a different motherboard. I do not have an install disc. From what I've read it...

So I've decided to upgrade my mobo, processor, and RAM (from DDR3 to DDR4 to fit the new mobo), and I'll also be hooking up an aftermarket CPU fan. Before I drop $500-$600 I want to be absolutely sure that these parts will be compatible. I've done a good deal of reading and I think they should...

I apologize if this is in the wrong category. I wasn't sure whether to put it under "Windows 8" or "Storage". I'm going to be getting an OEM HDD because my current HDD is near death, so does that mean I need to buy Windows again? I have my original Windows 8 install disc and the product key, so...

Alright so since I've upgraded my PC, and it's been freezing occasionally when playing any high demanding game. It will show no warning signs of freezing beforehand. The screen just freezes, a quick half second static sound goes through my speakers, my keyboard backlight turns off, and...
