    i7-4790K gets too hot (77 C) - do I RMA?

    Hey guys. New here, so not quite sure what the protocol is about starting new threads. I'm sure there are others like this, but I want to be able to explain my specific set of circumstances, so here goes: I just finished putting together a PC with an i7-4790K that I'm running at stock speeds...

    OC Core i5 2500 non-K?

    Great, that sounds lovely. This guy here seems to have his running at 4ghz as well. http://www.overclock.net/t/1006651/i5-2500-non-k-overclocking Can you suggest how I should go about doing this? Do I just load up the EFI and change the relevant numbers there? Also, do I need to purchase...

    BenQ XLT2420T or 2 more SyncMaster PX2370s?

    Advice for Upgrading i5-2500k/560Ti rig

    Err, turns out I made a typo in the thread title. I don't believe its a 2500k, just a regular 2500. I thought it was a 2500k for some reason. I should have gotten the 2500k I guess. Can I even OC the 2500?

    Advice for Upgrading i5-2500k/560Ti rig

    1920x1080. A second monitor is coming in the mail today but I mostly planned on using it for desktop applications, not gaming. This is my first gaming rig so I'm a bit hesitant about OCing the CPU, unless there's a particularly safe method of doing so that would return noticeable results. Is...

    Advice for Upgrading i5-2500k/560Ti rig

    Hey guys, this is my first time posting on Hard Forums and I'm not quite sure of the etiquette around here. I'm sure my rig is a pretty common set up so I hope I'm not asking something that's already been asked a bajillion other times on here. Basically, I'd like to know some options for...
