So in my quest for better temperatures I tried to apply conductonaut to the gpu well after applying liquid electrical tape. The PC managed to boot into windows somehow without any display output as I heard the windows chime. I removed the cooler and it looked like I should have applied more, but...

So how does my R9 290x fair nowadays? Is the Rx 480 8gb finally pulling farther away than it or is it 10-20% still?

I picked up an i5 3570k + mobo so I can lower fan noise and heat from my R9 290x + FX 8320e (4.5ghz) set-up. Was this a wise decision since winter is coming to California and I relied on this set-up as a heater or is the performance jump on a 1080p 144hz freesync monitor (48-144) that much...

Arriving tomorrow is my GTX 780 HOF and I was thinking I'd swap out the stock cooler and use my H90 on it. I'm planning on clocking this baby to the moon. So far I took a quick glance @ the reference and HOF PCB (List of GTX 780s) and it looks like I might be able to do the swap. The only thing...

When will this be a standard option for amd drivers? The maker of radeon pro did get hired by amd so I thought it would've been right away that this option would be added. Not that I have a problem using radeon pro its just that I'm puzzled why it hasn't (vsync looks gorgeous smoothness wise and...

So I migrated my H90 to my fx 8320e from my hd 7950 and I accidentally forgot to plug in the pump. I started computer 4-5 times and all auto shutdown. The last time it did I read the temperature reading @ 90c. What kind of damage would've been done to my processor @ this temp if any at all?

So I'm waiting for polaris to come out. How long would I have to milk crunchyroll and netflix to reach their release date?

I'm looking for something that has the same principle as the Kama Stay which is to be able to mount case fans right next to a GPU. Link for Image --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811998071 What I'm specifically looking at is the bracket since I already have an external...

Currently I'm barely using my computer to its full potential and my brother wanted my computer so he can emulate ps2 games (he has phenom II x4 965 not oced) anyways long story short we're pretty much switching computers except for my RAM, PSU, GPU,and SSD in my sig and I'm thinking of going...

So I just bought a 7950 and I was wondering since its so cheap now should I go for CF. My plan was after I upgrade my cpu I would upgrade to CF. I know my 650 watt PSU would probably be constrained by this so I was going to underclock my 7950(s) to stock reference clocks and undervolt as much as...

So I bought the Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D on Amazon for 25$ shipped which was weird considering they usually sell for 40~45. Anyways I got the package and what first struck me odd was the EU flag right on top. Once I saw that I quickly searched for passive PFC switch on the power supply as...

So I bought the g3258 in hopes of waiting for broadwell, mainly for the soldered ihs, and I was wondering If I should just upgrade to a xeon, http://ark.intel.com/products/80910/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1231-v3-8M-Cache-3_40-GHz , since I learned that they had a soldered IHS. Is this true? I know...

So I put some motor oil in my fan since it was making some noise and it worked. Just wondering how it affects it in the long run. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/mobil-super-synthetic-10w-30-motor-oil-1-quart-112917/10069916-P?zoneAssigned=1 I was trying find some machine oil and was...

So previously I had 2x4gb 1866mhz ram that I ran as 2000mhz which crashed on start up of windows, but easily passed memtest with about 7 passes I believe. Fast forward to now. I bought some 8x2gb 2400mhz ram due to the fact my bro needed my ram sticks, he was running 4 sticks and 1 ram...

I'm looking for fans that have the same sound profile like the Yate Loons, but at a 140mm size as currently there aren't any high speed 140mm Yate Loon. CFM has to be at least 88CFM as currently the air pressure in my case is slightly negative and I intend to keep it that way. Edit: I knew...

So currently I I have my ram running @ 2000mhz 11-11-11-31 1.65v, that's the highest stable oc/tightest I found through memtest + prime95. So I tried tightening my timings to 10-11-11-30 since I was not able to oc to 2133mhz. It passed memtest 5 times, but upon start-up of windows it crashes. If...

So I have a Hyper 212 evo and I'm aiming to have a push-pull configuration. My question is how do the fans sync themselves with each other. The main CPU fan header is a 4 pin while right next to it is a 3 pin. Will these fans sync up with each other or will I have to browse my bios to configure...

So currently I have G3258 + Gtx 750 ti and I was wondering what I should upgrade my GPU to. I've been thinking of getting a GTX 970, but I'm iffy on getting a 4 GB card (or 3.5 if you prefer). But I also had thoughts of getting a used 7950 for $100-120 though it only has 3 GB it would be a nice...

Couldn't find any sub-forum to put this in, but is anyone able to register heatware? Because I'm unable to see the captcha window.

So I have a Samsung Tv (http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/monitors/LT24C550ND/ZA-specs) and I was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade. Though it is 1080p I run it downsampled to 1440p which is nice: makes skyrim look very nice, but my gpu is a bit weak for that resolution. I don't...

So I upgraded my pc with a gtx 750 ti from an hd 5570 and I can't run crysis. Before I was able to run it @ 1080p at max settings with 5-10 fps in the beginning mission, but after the upgrade crysis lags to start up and I'm not able to change settings or start missions.

I own a gigabyte GTX 750 ti and I am unable to flash because nvflash is unable to detect my graphics card. I am trying flash it through DOS, so flashing through windows isn't an option (e.g bricked my wrt54g router). What I'm asking is how can I circumvent this because I've been reading threads...

Hi, I Currently have Phenom II x2 545 that has been unlocked and Oced >> x3 @ 3.3 Ghz paired up with an HD 5570. Currently I was planning to upgrade to a R9 270, but I was wondering how much of a bottleneck my cpu would be. I don't play the latest games, but mostly old low demanding games...
