Yeah the 2700x definitely seems better for multitasking so far, my OC'd 4690k was struggling to game+stream. Is XFR it's auto clock boost or something that must be manually enabled?
Yeah, I know. My 4690k was struggling after being overclocked for a couple years, was interested in the Ryzen so switched to it. Couldn't find a 4970k for sale actually.
Yeah I may have to re-seat the heatsink...I did see Cool&Quiet was disabled in the BIOS, so I set it to on and now the CPU is downclocking as it should, still somewhat loud but it's not terrible. It's not getting hot, max of 58C in prime95 so I'm not sure if the seating is an issue or not.
Ah I...
Hey all, recently upgraded from a 4690k to the 2700x. Got the MSI X470 Pro Carbon and 16GB DDR3200 RAM with it. Using my prior GTX 1080 and a monitor that's 1440p/144hz if that matters.
First thing I'm noticing is the CPU never hits the advertised 4.3ghz max turbo boost - the highest I've seen...
Hey guys,
Been a while since I made any significant upgrade to my system (in signature) and a friend of mine was telling me that 1440p/144hz is a huge difference - like night and day, he says. I've figured when I upgrade next it would make sense to go with a 1440p/144hz one. I'm still on 1080p...
So I got a new HDD and SSD, put them in my case and plugged them in to the SATA power cables to PSU and the SATA data cables to Mobo. In the process I think I unplugged the SATA power from my CD drive in order to switch around plugs so they'd all reach. I then turned the PC on to, and I quickly...
Basically the title says it all.
I recently got a new internet plan which is 50 Mbps and it came with a modem (Arris DG860A) which has built in wi-fi. Prior to this I was using an older modem which did not have wi-fi and was using a Linksys WRT54GS v.2 for my household wi-fi. I do still have...
So I upgraded this XPS 13 (9343) to Win10 and now the wireless seems to have an issue. At first when I start up, I can click down in the bottem right on the wifi icon, select my wifi and enter the password and it will connect. Within 5 minutes it will drop and connection will be lost, and then...
Just thought I'd update - I got the Micca PB42X, the self powered ones. So far I'm quite happy with it. I was initially looking into subwoofers, thinking I would 'need' one as I've always had one with those out-of-the-box 2.1 PC speaker systems. These speakers individually are nearly as big as...
Yeah the sound card has a 3.5mm port for center-subwoofer, so I figure a RCA to 3.5mm adapter may work.
I was looking at the powered speakers as a step towards getting into using such speakers, rather than getting unpowered and needing a receiver/amp. I wasn't planning to get a subwoofer right...
Hi, I'm relatively new to messing with speakers, subwoofers, amps, etc. but am looking into getting a pair of bookshelf speakers and maybe a subwoofer and connecting it to my PC
So, let's say I have a pair of Micca PB42X powered bookshelf speakers and a powered subwoofer like a Dayton Audio...
So I've got a Cyber Acoustics 2.1 speaker system currently. It's at least ~3 years old and has some noticable 'noise' when not playing anything through them. So, I'm looking to replace it. What I have is this...
Hey
I've got a Dell XPS 13 non-touch with the 1080p screen. The screen is gorgeous and all but it seems things don't scale quite right to 1080p on a screen of this size.
If you put things at 1080p without making any text/icons larger via Win8 settings then things are quite small and...
I mean I'd installed Magician two days ago and used it's "optimize" feature which I assume lowered my page file to 200 MB. Prior to that I believe I had it set at system-managed and I believe it had an 8GB pagefile on my SSD. Anyway, I did restore that pagefile setting to system-managed and it...
