    Mostly new stuff, bluescreens and borked install

    Small result: put a semi-broken hard drive in, booted just fine from Ubuntu. Checked the SMART data for my SSD and it said sectors were failing. Not enough to warrant telling me anything: but it must be enough that it wouldn't hold data. At any rate, I have a shiny new 256gb SSD being delivered...

    Mostly new stuff, bluescreens and borked install

    I did that last time. There didn't seem to be an option to wipe everything, but I did as clean of an install as I could. I'm trying to source another HDD to test install, but no luck yet. I also didn't even get the chance to install drivers. And I can't safe mode as it says Windows hasn't...

    Mostly new stuff, bluescreens and borked install

    Recap: Old setup in signature used to boot loop and was just broken. The motherboard was toast. Just bought a 6600K, new motherboard, new RAM. Old card and SSD were used. Installed windows today, upon completing the install and typing in my name it bluescreened, due to something being...

    Been a long time. Upgrades, what's good?

    Awesome, guess I'll go with the K then. Nah just those 3, I think everything else works. But I might get a new cooler because why not. And if the 580 is a bit long in the tooth for new games then that as well Gotta get it running first

    Is it worth it as in can you push Sky lake very far With my 2500k it went from 3.3 to 4.5 with no issues, and that had a big increase in actual speed that I could feel

    Is there much point in over clocking with Skylake though? On sandy bridge it was great, but I seem to remember generations after that didn't see many gains

    Been a long time. Upgrades, what's good?

    Hey gents. The laptop I found in the tip has finally thrown in the towel, and it's time to get my desktop going again. Based on my diagnosis, I know that at least the RAM is toast, the motherboard probably is and the CPU is old and might be as well. So, in regards to processors, I'm looking...

    Out of the game for a long time and need to get back in

    Righto. I'll go that combo then, with the SOC. Note it is the SOC and not the SOC Force. Also how's the overclocking with them? Last I heard it was something of a waste of time, but that may have been the previous generation? I obviously had a bunch of fun with my 2500k and having the...

    Out of the game for a long time and need to get back in

    They are however H chipset, is it still the thing where H sets won't let me overclock?

    Out of the game for a long time and need to get back in

    I don't really want to drop heaps of money on it at the moment, as I'm already shovelling it into my car (engine builds aren't cheap). But I think I can stretch for CPU mobo ram to get it working again. Current laptop I'm using I found in the tip and is dying a slow death Adjusted motherboard...

    Out of the game for a long time and need to get back in

    Did not even see it was mATX. I have been gone for a while. The 580, at least when it was working, was still kickass. I ran Skyrim with a bunch of visual mods at full res 60 frames. Almost maxing the VRAM though.

    Out of the game for a long time and need to get back in

    It's been a while :P Computer in sig kicked the bucket at the beginning of 2014 and I was skint until the end of the year. Been spending on other things since then but since GTA V came out, I figure I should get it going again. So basically as far as I can figure out somewhere in the...

    Will I see a Difference in Gaming? (Cpu upgrade)

    I'm not quite sure where you managed to get that assumption from, but anyway. OP, yes you probably will see a difference. I don't think it's going to be mind blowing different, but it will be different.

    BSOD on memory management 2133 mhz ram

    Would absolutely recommend for you to check your timings. I had the same problem when I first built mine. My timing was at 9-9-9-27 when it needed to be at 9-10-9-27. It'll probably be different for you, but check anyway.

    Yep, with a SSD my only noise is fans.

    Why does my computer keep turning on?

    I had the same thing. Changed it so the mouse can't wake it up, fixed it.
