Hi, I'm building a PC for a friend and he has spend some money on an AMD Phenom II X4 965 to upgrade his AM2+ motherboard that supports AM3 processors. Since installing the CPU, I noticed in the BIOS it was running at 0.8ghz, and then in task manager it said 0.8ghz as well. Not being...

Title, I'd like to buy this mic, heard good things about it, looking to do a bit of streaming and just talking in teamspeak. I want a audio interface as well, how much does a decent one cost?

I'm reusing my old hard drive in my new build, the donor PC was a pre-built, so I don't have a windows key. Is it just plug and play, or do I need to do anything before taking it out the donor PC? Is this even possible? Money is very tight right now so I'd rather not buy a windows key.

That's the question. Also, How much is the average Life expectancy of a Mechanical 7200 rpm Pc Hard Drive, like Seagate Barracuda or WD Blue/ WD Black ?

Greetings. Recently my old surge protector started acting up - no small part due to my dad constantly plugging in other power strips - and my pc doesn't get through the bios if plugged into it. So, I'm going through some surge protectors to exclusively plug anything pc related. Budget is about...

I am searching for a 144hz monitor. I have no experience in monitor buying so I need help.

Got a new PSU yesterday. Installed it with all the right pins connected. Turned on the computer and all the fans started making extreme rattling noises like it's a jet engine. Is this behavior normal when using a new PSU? I'm gonna try to find the source of the noises, it's probably the CPU...

I came home one day and the power had been out. My computer would not turn on, it played a number of beeps which I looked up and determined the video card was bad. Once I replaced the video card, it would turn on, but it took close to five minutes to go to the first screen. From there, the...

Is there an app that can record min/avg/max fps in Doom? I know there is the built-in fps counter, but it doesn't give an average. Same with Steam's built-in counter. I tried Fraps, but it doesn't seem to want to record for me in Doom (2016).

What is your "rating" of the "all-new Norton Core (TM) Secure WiFi Router"?

I was looking into buying a new 1440p - 144 Hz GSYNC monitor and I was wondering if it would be worth it at all. I don't really know if GSYNC would be any good if I were to run a game at say 60-90 FPS. I have a GTX 1080 and a Ryzen 7 1700. So I'm not really sure if running lower frame rates...
