    Did I just fry my motherboard?

    So, I just installed an Arctic Pro 7 on an MSI H81M-E33 V2. Because the board is so small, the fan on the cooler was pushing slightly against one of the two installed ram dims, which caused the two dims to touch. After installing, I booted the PC and it was running fine for about a minute...

    Haswell Overclocking

    It has been years since I upgraded my PC, and I've just started trying to re-educate myself as I look towards another purchase. I have a question about overclocking the Haswell CPUs. I read somewhere that only the 'k' models can be overclocked. Is this true and if so, why? Also, is it...

    Ultra-120 no better than my XP-90

    I'll try to keep this short. I am currently running an E4300 @3.2 on stock volts. I know the chip can go higher but wasn't comfortable pushing it with my XP-90 as temps were 48C idle and 65+ load (at stock volts). After reading a bunch of reviews, I decided to purchase an Ultra-120. I...

    Motheboard recommendations to pair with C2D 4300

    Please forgive me if this information is located in various threads. I simply don't have the time to search right now. I am going to buy a C2D 4300 next week when the price drops, but I am unclear as to which motherboard to purchase. I do plan to overclock and would be happy with 3.2-3.5. I...
