The manufacturers website says PCI-E 3.0 but in CPU-Z it shows the graphics interface as 4.0? I'm just wondering about being able to run a RTX 4090 on this board. New mobo/cpu/ram isn't in the budget. I run everything at 4k.

My 6700k only does 4.4Ghz so that's my base on what I'm looking to improve from (I feel like I've been using this CPU forever, definitely my longest lasting CPU) I game mainly at 1440p and like to crank on the eye candy as high as possible on a 144Hz G-Sync monitor but sometimes play on my 4K...

I picked up a 6TB drive from Staples last night and didn't notice that the seal had been broken until this morning and that it was a returned/used drive. I ran Crystal Disk Info on it and it said that the drive has been powered on 29 times and used for 65 hours. That seems like a lot of use to...

Since I've gotten into 4k videography and especially with video editing and storing everything I found out that I need hard drive space, a lot of it, lol. So I'm tired of dicking around with 4 to 5 drives in my desktop so I ordered a Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB NAS Hard Drive to replace all my...

Not a lot if options in stock, and newegg is offering this mobo as a combo with the 9900k but I don't want a weak motherboard that can't run a 9900k sufficiently. I'm shocked to see so many motherboards in the $400 price range, yikes...

If the GPU usage is dropping at the same time as the framerates drops occur, would that say that the videocard is waiting on the CPU (maybe game physics, etc) but the CPU usage doesn't go much over 50%? So before I waste money on the wrong hardware I need some insight. Specs are: 6700k @ 4.4GHz...

I must be the most unluckiest person on the planet with winning the silicone lottery and I also must have the worst 6700k on the planet. Even 1.40v doesn't improve stability over 4.4Ghz. Seem like in Core Temp when it crashes over 4.4Ghz it's core #3 (numbered #0, #1, #2, #3) that drops from...

I picked up a Asus PG279Q last night and the image quality is pretty awful compared to my TVs albeit I love the much quicker reaction time. From the back light bleed, poor overall black levels, to the fact you can't even get good accurate colors and good contrast with the monitor's built in...

Over the course of running Windows 10 since its release I'm very confused as to why Microsoft is so vigilant to disable any known registry tweaks or user made utilities that let's you disable the lock screen. What's the point of a lock screen on a desktop PC anyway? It's so annoying to have to...

I can't find the manual CPU multiplier on this mobo, even in advanced settings in the BIOS. My Gigabyte Z170 was clear as day. Is it named something else on the Asus board? All I see is some auto overclocking stuff which I want to choose the CPU speed manually myself. Where do I find the...

Ok so normally you're either CPU bound or GPU bound where one or the other is held up by the other depending on hardware and graphics settings. But what's it mean when you're only getting max 85fps with GPU usage maxing at 76% and CPU usage maxing at 47%? Shouldn't the system be at least maxing...

Worst overclocking chip I ever had. Of course the 2500k is the best but even going way back to the first chip I overclocked full time, a Coppermine 600e @ 933Mhz felt tons better (for its time) than this 6700k. I have to ramp the voltage up so much just for a small overclock I don't even bother...

Looking to go as silent as possible and was wondering if there was say, a high quality fan brand like Noctua that made a fan that was a direct replacement for the stock fans (no modding to the card needed) for the Gigabyte 760GTX Windforce cooler...

I have a 2500k that's urging to be overclocked and I'm looking at the Noctua NH-D14 air cooler and the Corsair H100i liquid cooler. My dilemma is that I would just go with the liquid cooler but my case is old, but an expensive aluminum case that I don't plan on replacing just for a cooler and is...

Hi, I'm a little out of the loop since I built my system, would a i5-2500k (socket 1155) bottleneck a GTX 760 @ 1080p on a single monitor? And will I notice a nice boost in performance over a 560 GTX? Or would a processor upgrade be necessary to take advantage of a GTX760? I really can't OC the...

Currently using a nine year old 21" Sony Trinitron E540 but... I watch all my movies and play all my games except for one (UT2004 - for response time reasons) on a 60" plasma. Most of my desktop usage is actually web browsing and light app use (paintshop pro, managing my ipod, etc.) I'm...

I need to stay as silent as my current DouOrb (on a 8800GT) with the fans turned all the way down with a fan controller. Reason is, this system doubles as a HTPC as well as gaming so it needs to be as silent as possible. Or is there a certain make/model of a 560GTX that already has a fairly...

I need to be as quiet as the Freezer Pro 7 that I'm using for my C2D E6850 since my PC doubles as a gaming and HTPC and normally leave the sides of the case off. I never did bother to use the retail HSF for my current chip. What would be some good aftermarket coolers that might be more silent...

Say if my system used DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) could I buy faster ram then needed and run it at a lower speed but use lower timings? I know the timings don't make much of a difference, but it's the thought that I can get higher speed ram for the same price and was just wondering if running say, DDR2...
