chipset

I'm getting ready to build a new desktop pc/workstation. A primary use will be 3d modelling and rendering. I'd like to get good performance for that. Before even choosing a motherboard and processor, I wanted to narrow down which chipset and maybe cpu socket to get. That will make it easier to...

Hey guys, I have been looking to buy a new mobo. I'll also be buying a new g4560. I am very confused between three chipsets - h170 , z170 , b250 So, which chipset should I opt for. I am in no mood to overclock my cpu.

I'd like to know if it is possible to increase the DMI bandwidth on a P55 board (ASUS P7P55D-E) by increasing the BCLK. The reason for this is my plan to use an m2 NVMe SSD in my second PCI-e x16 slot (only 4 PCI-e 2.0 lanes available) with an m2 to PCI-e adapter. Now, the problem with the...

Can the card use ALL of the bandwidth available to the slot, or is that only possible for a full x16 card? I know that a x16 card in an x16 slot @ x4 speed is going to get the full x4 speed, but is the same true for an x4 card in an x16 slot @ x4 speed? I'm thinking about using a PCI-e x4...

Hello everyone, I've got a new build in the works here, the parts are on the way if not here already, and I am preparing a bootable windows iso usb that also has my drivers on it (i think that works but let me know if there are issues with doing that). I've placed the latest GPU drivers on it...
