    Question How Safe Is To Keep 2666MHz RAM Modules Running At 3200MHz?

    Since the i5-11400 supports it, I went into my mobo's UEFI and bumped the DRAM frequency from the standard 2666MHz to 3200MHz.. The machine booted up fine and is, up until now, working fine. No crashes, no weird behaviors... I know it's just a 534MHz boost... but I thought why not? Can I keep...

    [SOLVED] What is the max amount of storage devices an Acer Nitro 7 can run at once?

    Hey guys, My Acer Nitro 7 currently has the 512GB NVME SSD it came with, and a 2TB HDD installed. Since it's Amazon Prime Day in the UK, I was thinking about filling that other SSD NVME slot with a 1TB drive. Is this possible or is there not enough power to handle all 3 slots? Thanks!

    I set my maximum processor state in power settings below 100% to avoid overheating, because my games started getting FPS drops and I noticed a lot of thermal throttling. Everything worked perfectly, staying constantly at the specified GHz, however, as soon as I opened a game, these settings were...

So the reason I'm asking this is because I'm thinking about the future. If I spend that much money on building a rig, I don't want...
