Processors

The CPU I have is a Ryzen 5 1600x. It is a 6 Core processor which I bought when I was making my new PC. It says I’ve only got 2 cores and 4 Logical processors. I am using my old version of Windows as it didn’t prompt me to install windows when I started up my new build. I’ve tried going into...

I'm considering the ROG PG27UQ 4K HDR 120/144hz. I currently have the Alienware AW3418 UW 1440p which can OC to 120hz. I have had very little use with UW and the games I play and figure I can get more out of 4K HDR and >100hz. For example, I play primarily FFXIV and I notice on my UW I can be on...

So I have been having internet problems for a longer period of time, it seems to be slow continuously with connection drops every 5 minutes or so, sometimes modem resets I suspect it could be due to bad grounding (I measure ~60 volts; ground to line and ~3.5 volts between coaxial cable shield...

Hello, I'm 14 and can't get a job. So I resorted to buying used parts online to save some money. I haven't actually bought any parts yet and I'm probably only going to buy the GPU used. I'm scared though, what if the part doesn't work? What should I look out for...
