I'm planning to pick up a used GTX 1650 and have a 4K monitor that supports 120hz, however I don't play games, I'm just using it to watch HD videos and for general usage only. Will the GTX 1650 be able to output 120hz with full RGB if I use the DP port?

Had to RMA my ASRock X670E Taichi board and apparently it will take a while to be processed, in the meantime I'm looking at the cheapest temporary board to use for the moment because the store where I purchased my AsRock board did not give me a specific timeframe on how long the RMA process will...

Thinking of getting a RX 550 for a HTPC build, I have a display that is capable of doing 4k at 120hz, if I use the DisplayPort will it drive 4k at 120hz at full RGB chroma? Is the RX 500 series capable of running 4k/120hz/4:4:4 via the DisplayPort? I don't plan on playing games or doing...

I just bought the MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio GPU and so far I have an issue with it on my LG OLED 55" set, which is the BX model from last year 2020. Most of the time when it boots into Windows, the video card fails to produce video signal to my TV and half of the time my GPU is...

I'm trying to complete a Windows 7 installation on WMWare Workstation, everything when I attempt to install WMWare Tools on a Windows 7 guest on WMWare Workstation, in the middle of the install it will give out error messages saying certain services cannot be installed and will need to be...

Does anybody own this power supply or its other lower watt variants? I've been using Thermaltake power supplies for years now and never had any issues with their PSU but this particular model I'm having a slight issue with it, nothing major but I find it quite bothersome how the fan would...

I'm currently looking to upgrade my old 4TB traditional hard drive and migrate my storage data into a SSD and currently looking into the Samsung QVO 870 8TB. I'm aware that QVO drives are the cheaper option and once it begins to copy a file that is over 50GB it will slow down, is it that bad...

Currently thinking about purchasing an OLED TV as a monitor, as I've been using a TV as a PC monitor for years now. Is burn in common with OLED TV's? That is my main concern at the moment, I'm not using my PC all day, I only use it for like 4 hours maximum a day, with the occasional PC gaming...

Just recently bought a 3900x and so far it is good. However, I'm rather concerned about the temperatures, I'm using a 360 Thermaltake CPU cooler, the Thermaltake Water 3.0 RGB cooler to be precise and so far I'm getting rather high temperatures. I haven't even overclocked it yet and it goes up...

I just bought several new PC parts to replace my previous PC which I recently sold to a friend. However, I'm having trouble to get my PC to boot and I'm trying to diagnose the problem first before I submit a RMA claim. I was able to get the motherboard to boot and install Windows. Whole I was...

I have this really strange issue with my CPU. Everytime when I boot up my PC, the CPU would experience a heat temperature spike and would run really hot for some reason, even hitting the max temperature of 100C. This would go on for at least 5 minutes before the CPU would cool down. My PC has...

I just bought a 1920x and it works well along with an ASUS X399 Zenith Extreme motherboard and I'm using the Thermaltake Riing 3.0 RGB 240mm AIO cooler. However, I'm getting high idle temperatures of 50C which doesn't seem right. Am I doing something wrong or is AMD's Threadripper CPU's really...

Currently looking for an upgrade on my PC and I was considering purchasing either a i7 6900k or even the i7 6950x, though it is expensive but cost isn't really an issue for me. My i7 5820k has served me well and I was wondering if spending over $1000 for a CPU is worth the cost. My current...

I just bought a pair of Gigabyte GTX 1080's and put them in SLI and I have a minor issue. I also have MSI Afterburner installed to monitor the temps, GPU usage and stats of both cards and I noticed that both cards are not fully utilized when under load in gaming, therefore resulting in...

I currently own a MSI GTX 980Ti 6G Gaming and it works great and I'm thinking about getting another one in SLI to increase my framerates since I'm on 4K and one just isn't really enough to drive 4K at decent framerates. And I usually use AA as well because I can't stand seeing jagged edges...

I just got myself another GTX 970 for my main rig and now running it in SLI and I'm not getting double the performance in some games. Some games will run fine, but most games will only use half the GPU usage on both cards. I'm running an i7 5820k overclocked at 4.1Ghz with 32GB of DDR4 RAM and I...

I just recently bought a LG 55UB850T which has a native resolution of 3840x2160 and currently using it as a monitor. However, when I set it to its native resolution, the text looks fuzzy and blurry. I have already set the sharpness but it had very little effect. However, if I use a different...

As some or most of you are aware, 4K TV's are currently limited to 30Hz thanks to HDMI 1.4 and even if the TV does support HDMI 2.0, you still will be limited to 30Hz at 4K because currently there are no GPU's that has HDMI 2.0 support. Why aren't TV manufacturers adding DP on their sets...

I'm hoping to get this TV soon: http://www.sony.com.au/product/kd-55x8504a The Sony KD55X8504A, as Sony just released an update to their current 4K TV that supports HDMI 2.0 which means 60Hz support for 4K resolutions. However, I'm aware there are no GPU's that support HDMI 2.0 as of yet...

I recently had to RMA my motherboard due to a fault and decided to get a new one. I'm currently using Windows 8 Pro and used my existing key for the new motherboard. Of course, it failed to validate because the key was tied to my old motherboard. I called Microsoft and they gave me a number to...

I recently had to RMA my Gigabyte board and decided to get an Asrock X79 Fata1ty Champion board, everything works great, except for one issue. I'm currently running 32GB RAM with all 8 DIMM slots populated and if I attempt to run it at 2133Mhz, the BIOS and Windows will only recognize 16GB...

I currently have a Xeon E5- 2687w and a Gigabyte GA-X79S-UP5 and currently have an issue with either the board itself, or possibly a faulty CPU. The board keeps going through an infinite boot loop and refuses to POST, or either it does POST, but will restart itself after displaying the splash...

I'm interested in the MSI Big Bang X-Power II X79 motherboard and I have two questions about it which I can't seem to find on Google if any of you guys own this motherboard. First, how long is the POST time and boot times with Windows 7 or 8 on a SSD. My current Gigabyte X79 takes a long time...

I want to dual boot both Windows 7 and 8. However, I have two separate SSD's and I have installed both operating systems on either one.

I heard that if you populate all the 8 DIMM slots on a X79 board with 64GB of RAM installed, it will be unstable at either 1600Mhz or over, is this true? I'm planning to build a server and I would like to have 64GB installed and I'm wondering if I buy a RAM set that is over 1600Mhz, will it be...

Apparently I can create a custom resolution under the NVIDIA Control Panel, I have it set to 2560x1440. Is forcing a higher resolution on my HDTV which has a native resolution of 1920x1080 a good idea or not? It looks great in gaming but I heard it can ruin the TV if using an incorrect...

I'm getting horrible performance in with SLI enabled with my GTX 670, I'm getting a framerate of less than 30FPS most of the time, and both cards are at 100% usage, not to mention the VRAM is maxed out at 2000MB and texture flickering. However, if I disable SLI the game will run fine and I'm...

I'm planning to build myself a X79 rig coupled with the i7 3930K and 32GB of RAM. I already have the 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws X at 2133Mhz, though I'm running three of them on my current X58 board, it only posts at 2000Mhz, I assume its because X58 has limitations running RAM at a high speed. So...

I just bought a set of G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB at 2133Mhz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231517 (Did not buy at Newegg but its the model) and I'm currently having issues with my machine booting at 2133Mhz.

I just recently got the OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SSD and just today when I opened Speedfan it reports that the drive is running at 128C which does not seem normal to me.

I'm interested in this RAM kit: http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=397 The price is nice and it operates at 1.5V which is good but the downside is the high timings at 11-11-11-30-2N. I currently have a ram kit at 1600Mhz at 9-9-9-24 at 1.5V. Is this RAM good or not?

Does anybody own this card and what are your experiences? Frankly I'm getting sick of my Gigabyte GTX 580, one of them are crashing on me, no matter if I downclock or add voltage it will crash on me no matter what, its a known problem and I've RMA'ed it twice already only for me to get...
