My processor is heating up to 100C when gaming. My friend has a 9900K and only gets up to 70C in the same game with the same settings. I have default motherboard settings and I'm pretty sure my cooler is setup correctly. I applied thermal paste using a small plastic spatula evenly across the...

Hello, I own a laptop equipped with an Intel i5 8th gen 8250u processor and an MX 150 4GB VRAM graphics card. Normally, when performing tasks such as browsing and general computing, my CPU boosts up to 3.4GHz. However, as soon as I start gaming, the CPU frequency gets locked at 1.6GHz, which is...

As soon as I built the PC, I did the cpu-z stress test, and my cpu scored 18 thousand points, 1 month passed and now out of nowhere, when I do the stress test, it only got 15 thousand points..., I felt that the performance also it dropped, temperature and power are ok, temperature in games is...

Hi there, I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem on a new PC build running Win11 for a few months now. So any help or assistance would be fantastic - with a big thank you in advance. SO I have technically 3 problems, but I'm viewing them as 1 or 2 since they all seem related. #1 - My...

Hello SIRS!! I recently built a gaming PC, and noticed that I experience (what feel like) differing latency on Scuf controller, depending on which USB port I use AND how many of the other USB ports are occupied. I've recently discovered that all of my USB Ports go through the chipset instead...

What timeframe did Processors under 10 MHz, 100 MHz, 1 GHz and 2 GHz occupy? What was the timeframe of Dual-core Processors, of Quad-core Processors, of Hexa-core and Octa-core ones and of such harboring more cores still? I have the general idea regarding all those questions but within the...

I'm looking to do some mobile graphic design work. I'm not too concerned about the weight so I've been looking at Gaming Laptops around $800 budget. I've landed on two that I'm wondering which might be the better choice. The Acer is a certified reman at around $700 and the Dell will be about...

Hello! The specs of the flagship Intel CPUs (i9-12900K, i9-13900K, i9-14900K) do mention support for ECC un-buffered memory modules. However, I could not find a single motherboard that supports this feature! Some Gigabyte motherboards do support the usage of ECC UDIMMs, but they mention that...

As the title says, Borderlands 2 crashes instantly upon clicking "PLAY" in the launcher (specifically, it'll load the first frame of the 2K splash screen, then lock up a second and close). Borderlands 3 runs with no problems. Hunt: Showdown and L4D2 will both occasionally crash for seemingly no...

Hello there. Purchased my Intel 13700k somewhat year ago. Everything was fine, I suppose, or at least I didn't have any certain or critical problems with the hardware at all. But literally yesterday, when I played the Warhammer 3, which is pretty processor intensive application, my PC suddenly...

Hi, my PC is using a z490 A-PRO motherboard. Up until recently I was running a dual monitor setup using my Geforce GPU and my Intel iGPU just fine (BIOS had IGD Dual Monitor enabled). I stepped away for a short moment and I returned to see that the HDMI connected to my intel graphics no longer...

Please read my signature to know what my laptop's name and specs. I have a South Korean laptop that has Nvidia GTX 1060 and an 8th-gen Core i7 CPU, which is pretty potent, in my opinion. But newer games need more demanding hardware, and I care less about gaming as time passes- I'm losing...

Around mid-December I tried installing/playing the game "The Finals". It prompted me to update my Nvidia drivers, which I did, but it lead to some serious BSODs/instability. I have since reformatted and reinstalled Windows 11 Pro for Workstations many times but the system is still experiencing...

Where can I get a 13700K cpu schematic that shows core locations by core number? I have a problem with cores #5 and #7, they run much hotter than the others often spiking to 96C while everything else is much cooler. Hopefully that's a result of a bad TIM application or cooler tightening...

Basically, I flipped my 4070 system right before black friday to upgrade my cpu and motherboard to ddr5 and get a new case at 0 cost, I side-graded my gpu to a 6800xt but the performance difference is massive in a bad way. I know they're supposed to preform the same, which is why I don't...

I've read some old posts where people are saying Intel Arc only supports DirectX12 natively. For older ones like 9, 10 and 11, it uses some "DXVK" thing which isn't like native DiretX12. It's like some emulation. I also read some article saying that Intel is dropping support for DX9 so the...

Hello. would like to know if it is possible to improve this Laptop, I don't know much about that topic and from what I was reading, only Celeron and Pentium processors can be installed since the board has an HM70 Chipset (Panther Point). Is that so? The only thing I improved was the RAM, from...
