Hello, I'm trying to overclock my i5 8600k to 5Ghz. My motherboard I use is a Gigabyte Z370 HD3-CF. Currently I'm at stock settings. But when I'm in BIOS, I can't really adjust the core clock or voltage settings manually. It seems everything is locked with no way to set to manual adjustment...

Damn right, ---- Thermaltake.

Trying to salvage my good old gaming PC. I noticed a few weeks ago after I pulled it out that the power switch on the PSU was separated from its assembly. Here are my provided pictures: Do you guys think I could repair the power button? Until then I'll keep fiddling with it... lmk

This concerns my 5 year old MSI Radeon HD 7850. So I've noticed a couple months ago how my card got a lot louder than usual. It seemed to randomly spin up to full speed and then stop when I played games. This is on my old 8 year old PC, of which I thought was causing some bios or driver setting...

yeah I just had to delete all partitions (including system) and add a new one in. thanks panathas!! i'll try to reformat with samsung magician if it lets me make a boot usb (now that I'll have a samsung ssd detected on the system?). thanks!!

I've been researching other forum threads and trying now for hours to get this to work. All I wanted to do was reformat my samsung evo 750 SSD and reinstall windows. First I downloaded the windows 10 media creation tool to a USB. I successfully booted to the USB and got all the way up to where...

Damn that rgb looks beautiful. I'll probably end up getting that.

you stated that there is only a "5 fps" gap between the processors. just wanted to clarify that there is in fact a performance boost equivalent to what I was seeing on userbenchmarks.com. I just don't want to doubt my choice for the future. not trying to come off as hostile; im sorry if it...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpUCESiWiU8 Look at the gta 5 results. you can see some 20 fps differences when variables on screen are largely the same. I don't even think the 8600k is oc'd; also a 1600x is being tested not just a 1600.

anyway, any other components I could be recommended? I guessed on the ram, psu, mobo. I know liquid cooling is a bit overkill but I'm tired of bulky heatsinks.

So the i5 8600k has superior performance in gaming but slightly weaker multi core capabilities than the ryzen's in a lower price range. I feel like I'll just throw my money at the 8600k. My budget already allows for it. I don't think the shortcomings of the coffee lake is enough to scare me off...

My pcpartpicker.com list Hey, I have been trying to gather together a list of parts for a new gaming/work PC. I'd love to hear your guys' input on my current list. Advice on whether some parts don't work together or recommendations for better parts within my budget would be greatly appreciated...
