    Correlation between CPU/FSB/RAM frequencies and voltage

    I would stick with the first system for tinkering, provided you can sort out/live with the display issues. The Asus KGPE-D16 motherboard doesn't appear to support overclocking and Opteron 6128s are locked so I'm not sure how much TPC could do for this setup.

    Correlation between CPU/FSB/RAM frequencies and voltage

    The memory controller is integrated on the chip of current processors, so ram overclocking capacity is affected by both the strength of the chip and the motherboard. There's some decent variability of these two at least at the highest level, so serious overclockers will take many cpus and...

    Correlation between CPU/FSB/RAM frequencies and voltage

    This is something that you will want to spend a while researching and watching videos on before you dive into it. Keep in mind though that you'll likely never know exactly what you're doing but at some point you'll know enough to accomplish something and have some fun along the way. One thing...

    Why is new i7-7700K hitting 100C under load?

    How quickly does the cpu get to 100C? If it's within a few seconds this might be indicative of a bad factory paste job between the core and IHS and a relid might be in order. You should also check the voltage under load as previously suggested. You might be able to undervolt a bit if you don't...

    Best midrange (~150) graphics card for casual gaming?

    1060 worked well for me in every game except PUBG (crashes ostensibly due to running out of vram). It looks to be the best price/performance right now @ $195...

    HELP! Enermax 660w + ASUS A8R-MVP Won't Boot

    Hey, In building another system, I've paired my (old) Enermax 660w PSU with the entry level ASUS crossfire motherboard, A8R-MVP. Regardless of all other installed hardware, the system will not boot. More specifically, as soon as I hit the power button, every fan in the system (as well as the...
