Hello. I would like to mention a few things to this thread. I don't have much to say about lowering CPU temps for your platform (LGA 1155) aside from the usual re-applying thermal paste and perhaps changing the CPU Heatsing/Fan. Perhaps making sure the PC case has good airflow. The prospect...

My apologies for my late reply. Know that I appreciate the comprehensive answers and replies to my questions. Truly. As much as i do enjoy discussing hardware i feel that there is not much left to discuss in this regard. Again thank you.

Really. I never even considered that notion that it was not necessary. I guess think that way can be like tunnel vision. Thank you for helping me. I think my confusion may come to an end, or something very close to that. Also the motherboard i was reffering to was ASUS GRYPHON Z97.

Shoot , i forgot to check back here. sorry. I am only assuming i need to use the BIOS re-namer tool. So not exactly certain what to do since finding these is not as cut and dry as it was for Z77. The Asus tutorial did mention a BIOS preperation tool but i can't seem to find one available for...

Hello my question is about BIOS updates, as you may have guessed from the title of the thread. I have the Brenamer from 2012 which worked with my Z77 board and i cannot find a newer version of Brenamer. If i use this 2012 version of Brenamer with the Z97 grpyhon BIOS .cap file will this brick...

Sure. If the price is right. I mean the price of the GTX 1050 may be cheaper than it's MSRP at launch (USD $109.99) Also be sure to check the specifications and GPU model no. for the gtx 1050 because it appears that it has 2 releases, one in 3rd quarter of 2016 and the other in 2nd quarter of 2018.

Right. What they said. Neither. But the options are not limited. Performance difference with Haswell Pentium Dual Core with an i3 4130/4150 are significant in a good many titles (games). Note: Pentium G3258 overclocked to 4.2 to 4.5 GHz would be alright.

Possible heat issues can arise from applications and processes within Windows ie third party security software. Also Windows has power options and if High Performance Plan is selected then by default Minimum CPU% is 100 , so set that to 5 or something if this is current power option. Aside from...

I appreciate a good underdog story as much as the next guy, however i must admit i feel the title did mislead me somewhat. There is a good number of channels that have the title this vs that and a slide show of charts of FPS in a number of AAA titles released recently. This particular match...

.....Nothing changed, not one wire not one thing on my desk, every cable and slot is secure as before... Wires, maybe? honestly that is the best answer you are likely to come across within your first attempt at searching the forums. After some troubleshooting hooked up a second Display to...

If you mean the Intel downloads page for Intel Motherboards with LGA1150, LGA1155, LGA 1156, LGA 1366 the drivers for those boards are the same as they were for since 2014. Drivers found on the site for the Intel Chipsets in general still have updates. I believe it is best to install the...

Sorry, i meant not bandwidth but i meant the expansion slot section, which was a mistake and i do not know the manual for your board has the same info for the section "Onboard Device Configuration" Basically there is 3 available options for what the third PCIe x16 slot. Auto, x4 and x1. And I...

Consult the manual about PCIe bandwidth.

Well, I don't think using both iGPU and descrete GPU for 3 Displays is an option, at least not for Surround or Eyefinity. THe GT 710 can support up to 3 different Displays. Whether the card has 3 output for standard display connectors is dependant which GT 710 that were talking about. Like...

If High Performance is selected within Power Settings try selecting balanced. High Performance basically has the CPU set to 100% frequency. This can get the temps slightly hotter or much hotter depending on CPU architecture. I don't know if this is still an issue with windows( any version).
