Hi, I have a Hyper X Genesis RAM running at 1600MHZ and 9-9-9-27. I set that timing at bios on my B85 Killer by Asrock.. My question is how do i know what is a better timing than those above? Are my timing correct or maybe you guys can give me some info about RAM timing? Thank you very much.

In another post I heard that 2400 might be too much for gaming, that 1600mhz memory are enough, but my question is why? What kind of apps benefit from such kind of memory?

Ok So basically my PC (GTX 770, i5 4670k, 8GB Ram) usually lags every few seconds therefore causing games such as Gotham City Imposers to go to 0 fps every like 3-5 seconds and then right back up to its usual. I don't know if it's because i reformatted my PC because i've even tried cccleaner to...

I barely installed my Corsair 430-Watt and installed my R7 250, after a few days I returned the R7 250 because I noticed it wasn't the 250x. I returned it a few days ago, and I took out the software of the R7 250 and the graphics card out (In order to get a refund.) after I took out those two I...

Toshiba A205-S5831 BIOS upgrade stopped at 11 -17 and froze. No other choice but power off which pretty much doomed at that point. What recovery options do I have to get BIOS back to original state?

I've newly joined this site although i've been looking it up for tech-related stuff for many months now.. Well, i wanted to know if the XFX HD 5750 supports Intel-build machines or not..or does it support only AMD-build machines?

Hello, I recently got a 4870x2, and it's performed well for the last couple of weeks. But my friends suggested that it would perform much better if I flashed it with the ASUS Top BIOS. Being stupid enough to get talked into it, I tried flashing it using ATIFlash and DOS. I flashed it with the...

I'd like to thank all in advance for any advice that is given, whether it helps or not. I've been messing with my Dell XPS M1210 for over a week trying to figure out why it won't run a game smoothly. The problem is that the CPU (Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T7200, 2.0 Ghz) frequency will rarely go...

Does anyone expect to see 4890 cards? These are clearly my speculations but from all the pre-release speculations of specs of the new cards some turned out true some turned out false. However I am little surprised that the 4870 are clocked at only 750/1800. Isn't it suspicious I have read a...

I just updated the BIOS on my IS7 motherboard and the computer locks up when it gets to "Verifying DMI Pool Data". I've cleared the CMOS twice now but with no affect. Also, I was stupid and backed-up the old BIOS but not onto a floppy. Any ideas? Thank you.

I am looking to build a system here in the next month or so, and I have a dilemma. It will be a gaming machine first, and in distant second, everything else. The first decision is between a the 512k cache 2.4 ghz 3400+, or the 1mb cache 2.2 ghz 3400+. Same price, so which is better for gaming...

I've had my ratpadz GS for a few months now, and I just noticed that it has lost a significant amount of its slickness. I noticed this when I scooted the mouse to a corner. In the area where I typically move the mouse, it is like a normal mousepad. In the corners where I don't use the mouse...

Hi all! I recently bought a new CPU cooler and before installing it I wanted to see what the stock one is capable of. I ran Prime95. After 4 minutes 45 seconds I stopped Prime95 because CPU reached 97 degrees. Is this normal? No overclocking was done. My case is Antec 900 so I guess there is...
