No, I can't access my CPU through the backpanel, per se. I mean there is a cutout, but I have a 2xHDD cage that I am using. 7 drives total. It doubles as a NAS part time. I have a compact ATX case, Lian Li 011 Air Mini. And yes, I have that exact same RGB Ryzen cooler linked above. My...

Is there an update to this for Ryzen AM4 motherboards. It is a huge PITA to pull this motherboard. I have a copper heatpipe from an old bulldozer. but it is loud and runs lousy even at an idle. but it is the only AMD cooler I have. my 5800X didn't come with one. Idle is 70C, please let...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I to was looking for such an inexpensive GCN 1.2 video card with no luck. I found this chart with which rebrands matched to each architecture. It is for OS X compatibility, but shows all the cards. It seems HD 7000 series starts GCN...

Awesome, I couldn't figure out what was going on. I reinstalled, repaired, etc and nothing. This did the trick. But my big issue is when I setup an email account in outlook on first run, it goes to an email account instead of the premade Person Folders at top. Anyone let me know how I can...

I'll try the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and see what it reports. So is the processor locked at 45wats TDP? That would explain why I can't hold 3.7GHz. But I already undervolted the CPU in the BIOS in hopes I could get a little higher clocks, but it still stays at 3.1GHz no matter what...

I am having a hard time overclocking this Xeon E3 processor. I wanted a low power i7 processor for the summer as my i3 doesn't plazy Cities:Skylines that well and my 4790k is way too hot. I found an E31265LV3 for under $180 on eBay and bought it. I install it and it works awesome and much...

I bought a new 260x for my brother-in-laws Asrock extreme3 gen3 with a SB celeron processor, so he could run two 1440p monitors at once. but when I plug in the 260x it just comes up black screen. fans spinning, lights on. but it never boots. not even bios. I have a seasonic 500watt psu...

I just ordered the HP Pavilion x360 - 13z Touch (G3S52AV) with this processor in it. This seemed the most powerful tablet style I could find with Windows. Does anyone know if it's overclockable or not? I have a PNY 240GB SSD lying around I may install in it. Is RAM upgradable in this...

That's what I thought. I just downloaded the Gigabyte drivers for my 970A-UD3 board and they are listed as 8-series. I'm like wtf! anyway, I'm installing the latest 8-series from amd.com. -=Mark=-

so garbage collection works in raid mode then? I think the controller supports it. at least it should. They should arrive next week and maybe I'll play around with raid mode and see how things go. Thanks for the reply -=Mark=-

I just bought a pair of Kingston 64GB SSDa and was wondering how well they work in RAID. Last I heard Trim wasn't supported for SSDs in RAID arrays. So is there a utility to run to simulate a trim? Or do certain drivers/controllers support trim in raid mode. Thanks for any advice -=Mark=-...

I am in the same boat as the original poster. I have a e4300 and it is a FSB of 200 and a lot of board don't support it well for overclocking. I currently have it in my DFI Infinity 975x/g board and it won't OC past 270. for kicks I pulled my e6300 out of my gaming rig that has a DFI Infinity...
