(EDIT: Added 1920x1080 resolution on another post, below.) Recently Tomshardware published a RAM benchmark article, where, as expected, the RAM speed doesn’t have much influence, in gaming, at high resolutions, but is very significant at low resolutions (1280x720 and 1920x1080), where games...

I have a dell inspiron 5482 that is relatively new. Whenever I power on the laptop or wake it up from sleep, the laptop makes a very high pitched screeching sound. I checked intel XTU and it seems that the screeching sound correlates directly with when the CPU is turbo boosting up to 4+ ghz and...

So some time ago (3 years) I posted here when I built my first rig, that thread, along with a part list, can be found here. Mostly everything is the same on it, so I wouldn't be surprised if it needed to be upgraded. My question is what should be upgraded first? For a bit more detail, this pc...
