I've just gotten a GTX 970 refurb (4GD5T OC) of newegg for 220$ CA, a great deal imo. Since the card is refurbished, I only get a 3 mo warranty as opposed to the 3 yr offered by new cards from the manufacturer. Since this is off Newegg's eBay store, I cannot purchase their extended warranty...

When I boot up my pc for the first time of the day, it often sounds fine until the fans begin to increase in noise and I check my temperatures to see that my CPU is getting hot, so I shut it off.(before i caught onto the issue, the PC would crash.)Now it normally takes 2 boots before my computer...

So basically I bought some AMD ram off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/152350292034 and I'm wondering would it work on intel?, I've seen a lot of mixed answers with this topic also it said COMPATIBLE with AMD does that mean they've only tested it on there or is it only compatible on there?

I'm building a testbench for new hardware and wondered if there was anything many motherboards used to push debug codes, like an output or something that I could hook my own LED controller up to. I want to hook up some Nixie tubes up to the bench and look at the debug codes through them, but if...

Where can i purchase a Samsung Chromebook Pro?

Basically I had been out of the computer building business for awhile. The last three rigs I owned were ASUS RoG laptops.They were sexy, portable, decently priced, and did what I needed them to do. After much self-contention, I set out and built myself desktop. More than a year prior, I had...

Hello! I have just recently realized through msi afterburner and realtemp that my cpu temps go crazy even though i have nothing running and its on idle. The temps are fine for the inital startup, around 27-30 when i start the pc for the mobo, after around 5 mins then the mobo temp goes straight...

So I've been trying to convince my friend to build a PC, and I finally did if I sell him my SLI 970s, i5 4690k, 16gb of ram and asus Z-97a for $700.

Hi, everyone, noob question here. My CPU temp is 45°C when idle, up to the higher 80s when gaming, and up to 95° when encoding video. After reading some articles, I see that this is definitely above normal (which is around 30° idle and 50° when gaming). My question is if these temps are...
