Core

Yikes! I bent some pins in the CPU socket, and I put a used core (i7-3770) in the LGA 1155 Socket, Dell Optiplex 790. There was no video output, but the signal was fine. I put in the old core, and there was still no video. I will supply some pictures below. Image 1 Image 2 Could it really be...

so I want to limit discord to only allow it to use one core because it only needs that because if I have it on all cores it makes my games unplayable with like 40fps and cs with 40fps is not the way to go, so I only have it to one core and it only does like -(5-10)fps. Now I manually change it...

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...

Okay, so I recently purchased an EVGA 400w power supply for my computer since mine is fairly old, and when trying to locate the different wires to replace with the new ones, I found a cable that the power supply didn't have yet is needed. It's labeled "P2" and I tried looking everywhere for a...

Hello, I'm 14 and can't get a job. So I resorted to buying used parts online to save some money. I haven't actually bought any parts yet and I'm probably only going to buy the GPU used. I'm scared though, what if the part doesn't work? What should I look out for...

Last night my roomate touched the top of my NZXT h500i case when trying to grab a controller off the top. He conducted a static shock onto the top of my case and shocked the PC. My PC froze and gave me a "it seems there is something wrong" screen and then restarted. It seems that all of my...

I have a JVC UX-D457S on its way to me. I'm hoping to upgrade the speakers to get better overall sound but I've no idea what to buy. Hoping I can get some suggestions. At what point does the amp become the bottleneck? Or are the speakers that come with it already optimal for that stereo...

Ok so I’m thinking on picking up a new CPU for my PC as I recently upgraded to a 2060. My current board is an MSI B350 Tomahawk which I bought back in the beginning of December. I was wondering if the Ryzen 2600 or 2600X would be compatible with the board straight out of the box or would I have...

Hello all. I read somewhere recently that partitioning these drives may not be a great idea and may affect performance. Now I know there's a performance hit on SSD's if the partitions are not aligned correctly, but is that it? I wish I could find that post, but it alludes me. So I have a...

I read the data sheet and it says in a field called "Memory types" that it supports : 1333/1600 DDR3 ram. I was thinking of overclocking my HyperX fury 8G stick to 2400. Can I do that? Or would it make the system unstable since the rated speeds are 1600, I don't know if they're the max possible...

Which should I go for? I heard that the Sony XB60 sound a little muffled and distorts at times. If you have any other bluetooth speaker recommendations I would be glad to hear them.
