future

Hey guys, I’m planning on upgrading my broken PC. What happened? In short: stability issues for several months and now no boot/blue screen “PC needs to be repaired“. I have tested every component except for the CPU and MoBo in my brothers computer. They all worked perfectly fine. I guess the...

If you could get a 1.4 GHz CPU with 24 cores, a 2.8 GHz one harboring 12 cores or a 5.6 GHz one with 6 cores which would be your ultimate choice? I personally would go for cores over cycles. The impalpable beauty of more cores resonates thoroughly through lesser heat dissipation and curbed...

When do you think that moment first started to take place, inadvertently at first, later massively and boldly, onto the exponential cadence of hardware and software development? Say, in the early 1990s there was a lot of software doing synonymous things the software of today does. Yet you could...

For the Consumer Fastest Intel CPU in 2003 - Pentium 4 EE @ 3.2 GHz (130 nm / 1 core and 2 threads / 3.2 GHz) Fastest Intel CPU in 2013 - Core i7-4960X (22 nm / 6 cores and 12 threads / up to 4.0 GHz) Fastest Intel CPU in 2023 - Core i9-13900KS (10 nm / 24 cores and 32 threads / up to 6.0...

Anybody remember the Core i7-990X from 2011? It used to be a big thing. Anybody remember the first Pentium 4s from 2001? Anybody remember 486 processors from 1991? Well that's going quite back in time. We've currently got consumer CPUs with 24 cores / 32 threads and the potentiality of hitting...

A question ahead! Well, this would constitute a rather simple question and that would be - When will you upgrade your CPU again? Now, I know that mostly this would be fictitious and guesswork due to the sole fact we may never truly predict what will happen in the hardware world within and...

What do you think would be the fastest CPUs fronting both the AMD and Intel lines by the end of next year? How would a Core i9-13900KS compare? I know there is not a lot of information online and that mostly this would be guesswork, yet it would be cool to find out what the people here think...

Cpu upgraded from the I5-8600k to the I5-12600k I stuck with ddr4 but i went from 2400mhz 2x8gb to 3600mhz 2x16gb Im hoping this ram and cpu will hold up for atleast 3 more years game-wise, and should i have waited another year for am5?

So, as you might've guessed. I am completely new to pc building and I want to build my "daily driver" where I'll be gaming, and coding software on. Since it's my first I've done quite a bit of research about parts so I would like to receive your thoughts and advice...

I plan to get a rtx 3080 which needs a recommended 750 watts. I do plan to upgrade the graphics card in the future, so I would like to know how many watts for a psu I should get to be safe in the future.

I know the gpu is the bottleneck right now but I want to get a cpu that will continue to run 4k as well and as long as possible. Is it worth it to buy the 5900x now because it will continue to run better in 4k in the future or would something like the 3600x run just as well and last just as...

Need to know whether to upgrade from 2933mhz to 3600mhz. Do you think it would be a smart idea to upgrade to 3600mhz for future gaming in 5 years or so? Or do you not think this would make a difference. I am using an Intel processor.

Due to living arrangement I have, my beefy old pc has to stay in storage for a bit. And lately I've been wanting to pc gaming and my 4 year gaming laptop, while functional, is just not worth the heat or sound to play on. For time sake, I just want to buy a pre-built pc. But don't know if its...

Hi Community, with VRAM consumption going up considerably in 2020 with games like COD Warzone and especially DOOM Eternal, are we at a point now where 8GB of VRAM might be the minimum requirement for games of 2021? After doing research on the matter, seems evidence is pointing more towards this...

I am slowly learning computers and appreciate all of the input. Ive learned a few things like what a bad power supply is and such so I decided to throw together a list to look out for in the future. I do know that I could possibly snag a used motherboard that has windows on it already but I am...

Looking to build a new workstation/gaming pc some time this year. My last build was a quiet media server/workstation about 5 years ago that I would like to use solely for media server duties while getting back into PC gaming with a new rig (and graphics/video/3d modeling). Are there any new...

Hi. My computers PSU (650W) died after 10 years of service, and I am thinking of upgrading said computer pretty soon. At E3 I saw that AMDs releasing a "2070 equivalent" in the RX 5700 XT card which will hopefully lower prices on the 2070 when it releases. The question is how big of a PSU I...

So this is just a thought. I doubt there is need for this at all. Would it be possible to pair an Intel Optane cache with an M.2 Samsung 960 Pro? If so, how much performance gain would you theoretically see?

What new cards graphics cards are compatible with this motherboard?

Im looking for cases under 70 dollars that look scifi and futuristic. I like red and not blue but if it looks really cool i might consider it. Thanks and have a nice day.

I have just recently gotten a Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 to replace my Hyper TX3 used on a QX9650 @ 4.0GHz 1.31Vcore. My old temps with the TX3 were 75C Benchmarking/65C Load/ 45C Idle and now with the Freezer 13 its 99C Benchmarking/87C Load/ 50C Idle. I reseated the heatsink 6 times and...

I am having an issue with an SFF build, which occurs on my ASUS GTX 960 mini when using a riser card. Everything works fine when connected directly to the motherboard's PCI Express 3.0 16X port, but when connect with a riser cable, there is no video output. I know the card is getting power...

Hey guys. My girlfriend and i was looking for a new laptop for her. We found a Asus x550z, and since i know nothing about AMD i asked the salesman, and he assured me it could play stuff like Sims 4 and GTA V. The thing is, It runs Sims 4 just fine, but GTA V? It pukes when we open it lol...

Hi; So I got a Zotac amp! GTX 980 ti graphics card recently and it's performing well, but not aswell as how I've seen it perform for other people. For example, in this video https://youtu.be/qCekvSIl76s?t=214 the GTX 980 TI had an average framerate in GTA V of 86 on Very High Settings, 2x MSAA...
