Hey guys. I've recently decided to save some money and go out to buy my own router/modem combo. I'm mainly doing this because our ISP (Comcast, Lord Help Us) is charging us an extra $12 a month to rent their router, which has some pretty terrible wifi in my room. I currently have it hooked up to...

Hi guys, so I've been having some trouble booting up today. Things went (mostly) fine when I made attempt #1, I got to the login screen no problem, typed in my password and that was it, but it was stuck in the logging in screen for ages (about 5 minutes), so I did a hard reset because this...

I have a Phenom x4 965 BE at stock (3.4) and stock Vcore (1.37). It's running idle 48-50, web browsing 52-54, and gaming it's around 60-70 (core temp says my max was 70c). Is this ok or no? I've tried removing the stock cooler and using one of the best coolers Evo 212, and it's still has the...

Months ago I bought a real cheap Sumvision 600w PSU as an extremely temporary replacement for my previous PSU, like temporary as in a matter of a few weeks. Well, time flies and it's still in my rig and as I'm planning to upgrade my GPU to an Asus STRIX 4GB GTX 970 I decided to finally get that...

Which mobo is best for gaming: asrock h97 pro4, asrock h97 performance, asus h97 pro, gigabyte h97 d3h or gigabyte h97 gaming 3? Or maybe something else(maybe z97)? Not going to overclock.

I don't know if this is a thing in all motherboards, I have seen many that name their ports with a "J" in front.

I only need one more R9 and I can crossfire it, which would be $150 cheaper than getting the GTX 970 outright. I just was curious if the price difference would make it worth it. R9 270X retails for ~$200 right now. GTX 970 retails for ~$350 I COULD get the 970 and sell my old 270X on eBay...
