4460

Hi, I recently upgraded from an older i5 4460 + GTX 1050 to a i5 10400 + 1660 super. A few days ago, I noticed a burning smell one night while playing flight simulator, so I immideately shut the PC down. I then opened the case, and ran flight simulator multiple times to stress the hardware and...

Okay, this is a sad post. I'm an avid pc builder, who buys parts used and flips PC's. Was having a great week. Had an i7 4790k paired with a z97 board and an i5 4460 with an h81 mini itx board. I was testing a faulty gpu in my z97 board and downloading drivers for it with the igpu. Suddenly...

Hello people of Tom’s Hardware! First post - I’ve lurked quite a bit in the past and got a lot of answers from this site but have run into a predicament I’m not sure there are any existing posts about, so I’ll dive right in! I recently acquired a small form factor Lenovo M73 on the cheap. In...

With my upgraded HP Pavilion p6243w (yes, very old PC), I installed a GT 710, but no video output on the monitor. I have a GTX 650 that worked, the only issue was that it was dying and had red lines littered across the screen which rendered it almost useless because it still output video. Fans...

I'm desperate. I bought a new PC recently (Strix Gtx 1060 6gb, ryzen 5 1500X, 1x8 gb 2400mhz ram), and at first I was getting extreme freezes in BF4 lasting a few seconds. I bought BF1 and experienced the same. Managed to fix it by deleting Nvidia geforce experience, turning Origin in-game off...

Yo, I have an ASUS P9X79 motherboard with the Q-Fan feature enabled but the "Standard" mode doesn't ramp up the CPU fan speed high enough to my liking when I put the CPU under heavy load, so I decided to change to profile to "Manual" instead, and set the values myself. The problem now is that...

On my Mac Pro, it appears the one (B-Baker) memory card isn't liked. When I first installed four 1GB RAM modules on each card, I apparently didn't seat the B board correctly so only 4GB showed. I opened the hood and reseated the B board and all 8GB showed. The next time I started the box, the...

As the title suggests, I'm trying to figure out how to update the bios on my ASRock board. The file provided http:// has a zip file that gets unzipped into another folder than contains AB35P4_2.5. I'm confused as to what needs to be on the flashdrive. Is it the Zip file, the unzipped folder...

Hello, I'm currently having some issues with my gpu. I'm sitting at around 60C idle and if i run any games like Guild wars 2 and Overwatch the temperature rises up to over 100C after just a minute! I've tried using MSI Afterburner to change the fan speed but nothing happens. Other things I...

Hey guys, Its getting time for me to consider upgrading my PC, and I wanted to know if the new 580 GPU would be enough to play most games on the highest settings at 1440p, or if I should wait for vega? While I definitely need to get a new PC upgrade, I could probably stand to wait a month or...

Hello, So, upon browsing around, I learned that when I first built my PC and my previous PC, that my choice to go relatively cheap on PSU's may have been a terrible choice. My most recent one is the worst offender from what I can tell, as its a XION, and I have read nothing but bad bad...
