Can you replace the batteries on most UPS? Wait, in 2-4 years are you saying the battery can no longer hold any charger? Or maybe it can hold 30 seconds of heavy load (enough time for a normal shutdown)?
I'm using a Corsair HX650 professional series. Certified bronze.
I have been experiencing very very rare instability issues over a year now. It was only until recently that someone directed my attention to an unstable supply of power. To make this short, I want to know what...
Actually from a little bit of searching, someone made a very extensive thread in another forum about UPS and how some models can filter noise in the power line and also correct for brownouts (under-voltage) or power surges (over-voltage). This is most likely what I need. The thread also mentions...
Hello guys!
I couldn't find a proper sections in the forum to post this so here goes....
Since I bought my motherboard about a year ago from now, I have been experiencing very very rare instability issues in-game and under light-load. It was until recently that someone pointed out it may be an...
Uhm, it's been almost 24 hours. memtest86 takes a long ass time for 16gb ddr4 at 2133. I'm just asking about the 10 passes because I think i read somewhere that technicians call 10 passes the standard in refurbished goods.
Hi HF community!
Since i got my motherboard about a year ago from now. I have been having very very rare instability issues in-game and during light load usage. It has only been recently that I started analyzing BSOD dump files. Been using default settings for my hardware. No overclocking yet...
LOL, i know. It was an accident man. I eat by my computer all the time. I think I need to put the case directly under the desk or let it sit on top. Nothing will change my mind about eating near my PC. Also, I never heard of contact cleaner spray. Can you please recommend me some. Also, please...
Hmm well I bought this used last year. And Before the spill I had very rare issues with the card. The card would very-rarely reset once a month while casually using my PC. When the card resets under light load the monitors flickered once and Aero for windows 7 got disabled. I think you know what...
Ya , I spilled balsamic a few months ago. It mostly got onto the PCB of my gfx card. I cleaned that PCB twice, but the 2nd time was months after i notice the little residue left over. What kind of problem would corrosion cause? What would I see while gaming or casually using my PC?
And...
Hi HF community!
I noticed some weird looking pins on my card and wanted to know if they should cause me some concern. I took some pics of scratched or burnt pins ( can't tell).
My card: SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 390

That's mostly how I felt initially because of the much longer warranty given by G.Skill. I feel like if I experience any instability, the blame has to go to GB lol. I want to blame someone.
I hate fiddling with RAM timings. I did it a very long time ago when I first overclocked. It could literally take days to get a stable RAM non-stock overclock, right? There are too many variables. If you constantly get errors in stress testing it, you could be trying to overclock it for days...
Thank you so much for that enlightening reply. I would have never found that out. So I can be nearly 100% safe by using GB qvl list or take a tiny risk with the G.Skill compatibility list, correct? I read on G.Skill's site they do extensive stress testing on various boards before they sell...
Using F8, because I believe going any further wont let me changed the bios version. And owners of this board, commonly report F8 is best unless you're using kaby lake.
the only problem with GB's compatibility list is that it is almost 1 year old.... so the RAM I want might not exist. I just want something equivalent. here is the Compatibility list http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z170X-Gaming-7-rev-10#support-doc
I'm going to look at that list and...
Hello HF community! I hope all is well.
The title is how I feel.
RAM..................Brand: G.Skill Size: 2x8GB Part No.: F4-3200C15D-8GTZ
Newegg put their own barcode with Part No. F4-3200C15D-8GTZ R (what does this R mean?)

Thank you for your very informative input. I decide to get the 212x becasue it is slightly better than the old V8. The NH-D14 looks like it would be a pain to clean. Dusting out a PC is not fun for me, lol.
Yep, I decided to stick with air since it doesn't make sense for me to get an AIO that...
They literally died right past the warranty, lol. Which is very sketchy imo. So they lasted just over a year. Another thing, What are REAL FDB fans?? what makes them real? The arctic f12 fans that I'm interested in are FDB. Ideally, I want some red LED or white LED fans that will last as long as...
People need to start downvoting them on newegg and stop recommending them on forums. Well at least I think no one recommends them on forums today. Thanks for the input guys! Much appreciated.
I have my computer running almost 24/7 every year. I use 8 Cooler Master sickle fans. I have had probably 6 die on me these past few years (cpu + case fans). Right now I am going to switch brands because it is crazy how they die right after the warranty. I was only successful with one to die...
Hi guys!
I am planning to switch from my very old CPU heat sink + fan setup to one of the Corsair AIO single radiator. I bought my heat sink back in 2009. I wanted to know if anyone has heard any common issues with the Corsair AIO when it comes to running your PC for long periods of time. Also...
Hi guys!
My PC is on everyday for about 18 hours and it runs full speed at summer during the day. Noise isn't that much of a big deal since I always have my headphones on. One of the things I don't like about heat sink+fan on the CPU is I have to remove the heat sink to dust it out properly...
Hey guys!
Looking for Air Flow fans. I will need 2 120mm on top of the case and 2 120mm at the side. I was looking at the Corsair ML series, and I was about to buy them because they are suppose to be quieter and they come with LED lights. I later found out about buying cheaper Noctua and then...
Hello fellow enthusiast!
I noticed newer title games are using close to 4GB. I have $375 left on Ebay giftcard. So I need to buy it from Ebay and it can be priced a little higher than that. The card can be used condition. And should I upgrade my PSU?
Brief Specs:
6700k
TridentZ 16GB (2x8GB)...
The TridentZ ram you showed me has 14-14-14-34. Would I see any real difference if I got the same tridentZ ram you suggested, except it has 15-15-15-35? The cycle time is the same, but I don't know why I should care about 1st word, 4th word, and 8th word. I guess bigger question is would you...
LOL, sorry about that. It was late when I was reading those post. Thank you so much for the calculator. Look what I found CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model CMD16GX4M2B2400C10 - Newegg.com
That's comparable to what you showed...
They're still new in the box. I think I will exchange the setup for 6700k. I saw some real world performance for a few games. I can get a similar mobo with the new cpu around the same price. I have a hard time choosing a mobo that is known to OC well with the 6700k. Any suggestions? I like the...
Thank you. The game I am focusing on is using the unreal engine 3. The game is well known to be cpu-intensive because of the unreal engine. Can you recommend me a site that shows benchmarks of 6700k vs 4790k relative to this game engine? If I decide to get 6700k and return the 4790k, I have to...
4790k scored the highest in single-core cpubenchmark, so I just decided on that. I didn't know the specs I was reading were MT/s. I thought it was Mhz. It seems to me that in a handful of CPU-intensive games you will see at most a 10fps difference. Does ram speed contribute to loading times or...
Hello HF community!
I am upgrading from an Asus P6T with i7-920 @ 3.8Ghz. I am currently getting a new GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD5H with a 4790k. I chose this motherboard because I like the protected features it offers for longevity and this cpu for its single thread performance. 6 years ago I was...
