    [SOLVED] Ryzen 5 1400 to Ryzen 7 2700X?

    Alright, I'll tell him about the 3600, thanks. Yeah, I'm going to get him to download CPUID to find out his mobo, I don't want to make him buy anything yet.

    [SOLVED] Ryzen 5 1400 to Ryzen 7 2700X?

    Hi guys, My friend is looking to upgrade his PC, as he's getting bad performance. He mainly plays CSGO, getting around 120fps on all low with a 1400 and a RX 580, sometimes higher sometimes lower. From what I've gathered, 1400 and 2700X are both AM4, so it should be compatible with his mobo...

    What Noctua Fan

    Looking for a new intake fan, and I've slimmed the list down to the NF-A14. I've heard different opinions on the NF-A14 FLX, or PWM. So what one would be better for an intake fan?

    Mouse not tracking after lift

    Hi guys, I have a Zowie FK2 and every time I lift my mouse and put it back down, it doesn't track. I think it's a mousepad issue, so, what's the best way to wash a mousepad?

    Is high CPU usage okay?

    Playing games like PUBG, Rainbow 6 Siege, etc, gets my cpu usage to 100% and gpu 100% at the same time. Is that okay? I don't experience input lag, fps lag, any of that sort. It's good to point out im watching a stream or video while playing.

    GTX 1070 Acting Slow In Overwatch

    My GTX 1070 is running super slow on Overwatch. I'm talking dipping under 144FPS on all low settings.... I have a GTX 1070 Strix, 6700k, 16gb ram, I'm not hardware bottlenecked. It seems to be the game? I'm mostly concerned that my GPU is broken, but I don't believe it is. Can I get some help...

    1070 Running Slow?

    my 1070 is running slow on Overwatch. I'll be on medium settings, 75% render scale and it actually drops below 144. This just started happening yesterday. Normally when I game I get 60C, but now my 1070 is running colder, like it's not running as hard. Any help? Playing on 1080p btw

    Safe temps for 1070 STRIX?

    Playing Overwatch it doesn't go over 60, idle it's around 50. (It's idle 50 cuz 2 fans are plugged into the fan header on the GPU so it doesn't run unless it needs to) Safe?
