Thanks for the tips, but I've been building custom PCs for over 20 years now, I know how to disassemble and assemble one blindfolded :D Believe...
On my personal i7-8700k I've done the delidding, swapped original IHS for a custom copper one and used Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut (liquid metal)...
I hope it will be at least as good as MX-2 and MX-4. My top choice for building standard PCs. For OC intended PCs or as a GPU TIM swap I still...
I was only referencing review fans (picture on the box versus what was in the box) - could not be clearer about that. Testing once again showed,...
Enki's fans pictured on the box are not flow fans. Number of blades doesn't determine if fan is flow or high pressure. If you check what is...
Fans changed between box/company product pictures and the ones from actual unboxing. Box/company pictures shows high static pressure fans and...
Congrats to all the winners! Hilbert, I must ask about Galax HOF 1TB SSD winner, since he has the same last name as me (which is not common one in...
It would be perfect for my new build! :)
P.O. Box 286-DOS - now that's a nice themed box number :)
Having in mind all the extensive software tweaks that you've tried to fix the issue, have you tried going back to basics? With that I mean...
Since you have updated 1 year old drivers, it would be good if you would first uninstall them from control panel (all ATI/AMD related GPU stuff),...
I had similar issues with my old GTX460 when connecting through HDMI cable with audio active in NVIDIA control panel (though not used). Every time...
Just remember to get active DP -> DVI adapters, as passive ones don't work with Eyefinity.
"K" series have unlocked multiplier, so you can overclock them. CPUs without "K" can only be overclocked by changing base clock, which makes them...
From what I have found, this computer has G41T-AD mainboard installed. So audio chip is Realtek ACL662, which is HD audio, thus drivers for AC'97...
Remember, that ASRock suggests also using molex power connector on motherboard, when doing a SLI of high-powered cards. You can find this molex...
If you don't plan to use integrated grpahic card (Intel HD3000) then check for P67 chipset-based motherboards. You will save some $$. If you...
ASRock P67 PRO3 is very nice motherboard for that price. I've been considering it at the time when I was looking for one. Finally went with more...
+1 to Clawhamer suggestion. It will give you more perfomance in games, current and future. And you will be still within your budget.
Having in mind your budget, I would also go for quad AMD instead of dual-core i3. It will be more future-proof. 2500k is great and I highly...
