One last question; Between an Asus Prime z370-A and Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 5 which is more suited for moderate overclocking and heavy daily use? Thank you.

I see. Thanks again for your help!

Thanks UsandThem. Would I be better served by upgrading my memory as well? I currently only have 16gb ddr4 2666 and a 1080ti.

As title states, I intend to pick up a replacement processor and motherboard for my gaming PC. I mainly play newer titles such as Destiny 2 and Star Citizen at the moment. I've seen 8700k sell for ~$340 and 9700k for ~$410. Correct me if I am wrong, but the benchmarks for the two are roughly...

Yes, I did ;)

Oh and before I forget, yes I have reinstalled the card a few times just in case it wasn't seated correctly. Sorry for spam! Quick update! I did some fiddling around with BIOS settings and got my old 570 working. I couldn't replicate the same results for my 780 so I'm planning on sending it in...

Hey guys, I finally upgraded my PC over black Friday and have run into a problem. After swapping out everything except for the video card (780gtx) and case, my card gives no video output. The following are the specs of my new machine: 6600k 212 evo Gigabyte z170x ud3 2x8gb g.skill ripjaws ddr4...

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'll try to reset my BIOS settings and report my findings. In the meantime, my PC specs are as follows: OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 Other OS Description Not Available OS Manufacturer Microsoft...

I finally installed that replacement battery and the thing worked fine starting up from sleep for a few days, but today the same problem is back. Could it be my motherboard is failing?

I'm on it. Thanks.

Hi guys, My computer has been going into a pre-BIOS boot loop after I let it go into sleep mode. The only way I've been able to get past this is to take my BIOS battery out for a while and place it back in. After this, it cycles a few more times before posting. Does anyone have any suggestions...

Thanks guys. I will look at getting an SSD, but the main reason why I am upgrading is because I think my motherboard is dying (started a post in computer help about it). My monitor goes blank sometimes when I play fallout. Not sure if it's due to temperature or even if my PSU is dying (going to...

Hi Puffnstuff, Thanks for the reply. Regrettably, I do not have access to a multimeter. I have been using an old (5+ years) 650W PSU to run a 2500k, 2 sticks of memory, 1 HD and a 780GTX for a year or so. Do you think it could be failing now?

Hi everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU, motherboard and memory from a 2500k in a p67 motherboard with 16gb. I've taken a look at the stickies and some of the more recent posts and am interested in upgrading to a skylake processor. For reference, I currently have a 780 GTX, 1TB WD Black...

Hi guys, I've been having some trouble with my monitor turning blank while playing Fallout 4. The LEDs on my case, keyboard and mouse would still be on though I noticed that pressing caps, scroll lock or numlock no longer engaged the indicator lights on my keyboard. It has happened twice...
