    GPU upgrade

    If you're not dead set on nVidia you might also consider the R9 285/380. But if you really want a 960 then go with a MSI or Palit card.

    Suggestions/help for Gigabyte GPU RMA?

    Well why don't you switch the cards for a day. He borrows you his and you borrow him your. This way you can test for both failures. If your card performs OK in his rig, then it's your PSU. If his card performs OK in your rig, then it's your card.

    Suggestions/help for Gigabyte GPU RMA?

    First wait for the RMA to finish, before you start writing to people. Second it might not be the card that is at fault. It might be the PSU. You have quite a nice OC on the CPU. Was the card also OCed? How old is the PSU? Did you try running the system @stock? Asking because your card is...

    ASUS Announces The Strix GTX 950

    What happened to the rumoured $129(stock) –$149(custom) prices? :( All the rumours were spot on, all but the price. This card is a big fail at the current prices. Especially seeing as you can get a R9 285 for less, and 960s can be had for about the same as the custom 950s. TDP is also all...

    960 or 380 for SFX ????

    While the 285/380 is a great card for the money, your PSU just isn’t strong enough. Maybe initially you could do it (assuming the PSU is new), but as the PSU gets older it loses some of its max power. Seeing as you’re not against used… how about a GTX 760? They start at...

    Phononic CPU Cooler on Indiegogo

    Nothing revolutionary going on there. Just a lot of marketing mumbo jumbo, and another fail product at an overly inflated price. From the vague info available it's a peltier/heatpipe hybrid cooler. Which has already been proven to be a failure in comparison to standard heatpipe design. While...

    Newb question

    Short answer: NO. You need a motherboard that supports DDR4. At the moment that means socket 2011-3 or 1151. That being said any CPU that works on those motherboards will work with DDR4. So once there are i3/Pentium/Celeron chips on the s1151 they will work just as fine as the i7 6700.

    Please help me help a friend with his computer.

    What exactly do you mean with it crashes? Does it go back to Windows, does it freeze, restart…? It would really help if you could post the system specs and a bit more about the crashes. At the moment it sounds like a failing PSU or graphics card. For now your friend should run Prime95...

    It is listed. Scroll to the bottom and under Socket AM2+ it’s the first one. Sadly it’s also listed N/A = Not support.

    Please help me upgrade my office computer

    The chart on the Gigabyte site is saying otherwise: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=3009 I'm guessing you are looking at another model board.

    Please help me upgrade my office computer

    Hopefully you didn't order the Phenom II 940 as suggested. If you look at the supported CPU list you will notice it’s NOT SUPPORTED. Well for that matter all of the 125W parts aren’t, but on the other hand your board supports AM3 parts. Personally I would go with either an X4 960T or...
