Not sure if this is how it should be but, my 2700x is only using 30-40% load whilst in games which is giving about the same performance I had with my old i5 6600k. I'm running it with a 1080. Just looking to find out if something is wrong or if this is how the cpu should be behaving.

Hello My cpu is not hiting base clock or boost clocking this started to happen a few days ago but I did not know as hardware monitor is saying my cpu is running at 3.7ghz but task manager shows my cpu running at 3.40 ghz my cpu temps are in the 30 to 40 and never hit 70 c so I don't think its...

Hey, there. How do you guys think, is it okay to continue to use 5820k with x99 system or should I ditch it for something else? Options: 1. Long live 5820k (overclocked, 4150mhz, the first two cores boost to 4450, 1.2v) 2. Sell CPU to get that top Broadwell-E 3. Switch the socket to something...

I've had 2 monitors for a while, both are connected into my GPU (GTX 1060 6GB) my newer one is connected via some kind of HDMI lead but it isn't a regular one (I don't remember what the model is called) and the other is connected via a DVI to DVI-D adaptor as my GPU doesn't have a DVI port...

So at first I thought it was the power supply but it turns out that’s not the case. So essentially the only way for the PC to receive power is if I remove the eight pin CPU connector and just plug in with the 24 pin connector it works but, as soon as I plug in the 8 pin there’s no sign of power...

I am about to build my first gaming PC and I will be running Windows 10. I am just wondering how I'd transfer my save files from games such as Dragonball Xenoverse on my Xbox One to my Steam games or versions of games like Dragonball. Would I need a USB or EXT drive to transfer the save files...

Hi, I was just posting to see what you guys think of the PC build I am going to get. I don't need a 400 FPS triple A game smashing beast, just a modest PC that can run games on medium settings, with about 100 FPS. I mostly play CS:GO, and that game isn't very hard to run. My budget is about $550...

Here's an oddity. Just updated to the above driver (latest at time of this posting), and it deletes itself whenever I reboot or power up. Tried a DDU uninstall of the driver; same thing. Tried using CCleaner; same thing. Did a virus/malware scan; same thing. Figure it must be the driver...

When I turn on my laptop it gets stuck on the Acer startup screen showing the spinning dots at the bottom. I tried turning it off and on and the problem persisted. When I tried using the automatic repair, it gets stuck on the “Preparing Automatic Repair” screen. Is there anyway to fix this myself?

I just built a new desktop computer and moved a 4TB hard drive from my old system to this one to use as my storage drive. I have an SSD for my operating system. Since my old system couldn't see anything larger than 2TB, I didn't worry about it as I knew I'd be building this new system...

So, I have been monitoring my CPU temps while testing OCs and benchmarking, while I guess neglecting my GPU temp. I have a zotac GTX 1080 in my case that sits at idle at 45C with 60% fan speed. At full load it gets up to 70-75C with 80-90% fan speed. I understand that these temps are within...

I have an old HP motherboard from a 8200 Pro desktop (model 611835-001). I'd like to adapt this board so that my daughter can have a basic starter computer. I'm aware of the power supply challenges associated with using a proprietary HP board in a non-HP case. This is the ATX version of the...

I'm doing a build for a friend where I'd like to spend about 1400. His primary usage is gaming, and he'll very rarely be doing anything multi-core intensive (hence why I chose intel). He is not likely to be overclocking so I went with the 8700 non-k processor. His only requests were to make it...

So I've had my PC for 2-3 months and this only just started to happen. Whenever i start up my PC the next day it always makes a really loud sound on startup, but weirdly only for the one day it does it once and then the next day it does it again. I'm thinking having it plugged into the PSU via...

So I currently have an intel pentium g4560 and I want to upgrade. I can afford a i7 7700k however the delivery is 1-2 months as I can only buy from amazon (using some gift cards as well) so i dont really want to wait that long with bad stream quality. So my question is are the i7 6700k/ i7 7700...
