I have been attempting to overclock my new i5-8600k. Right now I have it set to 4.7Ghz with a Vcore of 1.26. When running Prime95, the temps on the cores and CPU package are in the 80's. I don't seem to be getting anywhere close to 100 degrees. After running Prime95 for about 5-10 mins, it...

I am looking for a budget HSF for my 2500k. I am puchasing a Corsair 600T case with a Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 and Corsair Vengeance Blu 8 GB RAM http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-PC3-12800-Platforms-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B/dp/B004QBUL1C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313979433&sr=8-1 I am looking...

OK, its time to build a new gaming PC, and I'm looking for some help. Is this a good time to build a PC? Anything new right around the corner? I want to build something new for Battlefield 3 and other newer games. My current PC is now 6 years old. It seems like the Intel i5-2500k may be...

Is it worth purchasing a 8800Gt or HD3870 for use with an older AMD 939 Dual Core 3800+ with regular old DDR on an nforce 4 motherboard? I currently have a X800XL and would like to play some of the newer games like Bioshock, Crysis, etc. Will I get a good performance boost from one of those...

Is there any advantage to going from a 3200+ to a x2 4200+ for games that only use a single processor? Does the x2 4200 act like a "4.2Ghz" system when using one proc for games, or does it really only reach it's "4.2Ghz" potential with both cores processing?

With the price drops coming up for AMD here, I'd like to replace my A64 3200+. It was never a good overclocker to begin with. :( What processor would be best to replace it with? I have a Chaintech VNF4 Motherboard: http://www.chaintechusa.com/tw/eng/product_spec.asp?MPSNo=13&PISNo=318...

have a Chaintech VNF4 nforce4 motherboard. I am getting MAJOR static and interference when using the onboard sound. Yes- I know onboard sound generally sucks, but I've been using it on my old Asus P4 motherboard with these same headphones without any static. I get major static whenever the...
