component

I've had an issue for the last few months where my pc would start, but none of the connected devices would activate (keyboard, mouse, tablet and monitor). My solution to this would always be to reset my cmos (remove my cmos battery for 5 minutes then put it back it) and it would always solve...

My motherboard is asus b450-f, it has five audio ports and according to the manual, three of them are used for speakers, one for headphones and another one for microphones. For gaming I usually just use the headphones that came with my old Iphone 5s, it has worked peferctly fine. Nevertheless...

Hello everyone, this is my first time in the forum so please go easy on me. Anyway, recently I found a small device connected to my motherboard and have no idea what it is. My PC is a custom build, but it has not been put together by me, I only chose the individual components, so I received it...

After suffering games having low performance from what i thought would do a good job, i decided to do a benchmark on userbenchmarks because my games were getting slower as they were running for longer and i've seen others with the same components get higher more consistent framerates...

Which one is better? Thanks!

I'm planning to build a mid-tier gaming pc, and I'd to know if there are any issues that I didn't spot (its my 1st time building my own pc). Here's the pc part picker link: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/xqdHdX Feel free to make any suggestions or changes to it, and thanks in advance!

Hey all, I’m currently looking at repairing my broken down pc. I have a gtx 750 ti, 550W gold power supply, 1TB HDD. I’m looking for a good cpu motherboard and case. I’ll mainly be using it for WoW. I do only have a $500 budget for the motherboard cpu ram and case. I can spend a little over...

Currently have a rig with sub-par AMD FX-8320 CPU and only 8 GB of DDR3 RAM. Everything else is good. MSI ARMOR GTX 1080 8GB (OC edition), RM 650x PSU, SSD drive. So you can see I got a pretty huge bottleneck for my GPU. Basically I need a new CPU (Intel is still king?), will need a new...

My PC specs :- View: https://imgur.com/a/j42MlLI ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So as the title suggests should i buy a 144 Hertz monitor for this pc?

If I took a Raspberry Pi CM3 clusterboard (e.g.: https://www.cnx-software.com/2017/08/16/pine64-sopine-cluster-board-takes-up-to-seven-sopine-a64-systems-on-module/) and installed some SODIMM RAM into the slots, would they work?

Ive been saving for a new pc build for a whilöe now seeing as my current build isnt keeping up with the games i want to play (plus everything has been upgraded to the point of me having to upgrade everything just for one singular component). Looking around the internet, and hours of research...

What I want to know is approximately the amount of latency induced by PCIe and by RAM? I want the latency from the CPU to the DIMM slot and to the PCIe slot (so no round-trip latency).

I would like to know if there is such a thing as this. I am curious to know if this exists (so don't ask me "why?).

I found this riser on Supermicro (https://www.supermicro.com/CDS_Image/uploads/riser_card/rsc-88-f1.jpg , https://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/Riser.cfm ) and I see that 1 slot is PCIe x4(?). But there is the other slot and I don't know what it is, so I was wondering if you could help me...

Hey, Recently upgraded my GPU, and now my CPU is working at full capacity. Currently when idle sits from 45-55 degrees --> 90-100 at 100% load (when playing games). My PC has never crashed but CPU throttles to avoid going over 100. I've got some thermal paste on delivery as i have not changed it...

I found this riser online and I don't know exactly what it does. So can anyone help me? (https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32949852202.html ) So far, I believe these are 2 possible options (but I'm open to other options). It could be: 1) An actual DIMM to M.2 or SATA riser that can store/cache the...

hey one of my friends recently told sth to me that makes me nerves about my PC component.he said using 100% of cpu can harm it after like 3 years or more. i use a program that use 100% of cpu for like 2 hours and my temp is like 50 or most of the times 48. my friends use emulators for the game...
