LOL, no, I knew that was too high.

If I run 2166, 2400, or 2600, I see wild swings in the CPU-Z NB and DRAM freq measurement. So I backed down to 2166 with 15-15-15-36-1T. I think I'm going to wait for some new versions of CPU-Z to...

Yeah, I'm using the 2133 default. I have changed the power plans but the fluctuations still happen. I'm running balanced now.

These are two screen grabs from CPU-Z made about a minute apart. My PC runs perfectly, though, with absolutely no stutters and hiccups. Normal? Do you get the same readings? Or I should say the...

XMP Profile is 3333. Looking at HWMonitor pro and CPU-Z, I get all kinds of weird readings. NB speed fluctuations, a single processor thread jumping to 65C causing the fans to spin up. I expect...

An SSD is your best upgrade. I would also replace the WD Green drive with a WD Blue or Black. The Greens are slow variable RPM drives and are best used for archival purposes. WD Blue will give you...

Actually it's free if you have the WinTV 7 disk.

I played 60 hours of Far Cry 4 through uplay and never had an issue with it. Check to see if your video drivers are up to date and if so, install an older one to check and see if it works.

I upgraded a retail Windows 8.1 Pro installation to Windows 10 Pro on a Samsung 840 Pro SSD in my desktop. I bought a new Samsung 850 Pro SSD (to move the 840 Pro to a laptop), replaced the 840 Pro...

I am running a 512GB Samsung 850 PRO with no issues in Windows 10. This was a clean install (after an update) and Samsung Magician shows the drive connected via the SATA 3 interface. The install...
