Hey guys,

Just found out I have this "Some settings are managed by your organization" message in my Windows settings and because of it some settings are blocked as well. Wasn't there before and it...

What about the CPU? Is it going to bottleneck the card?

Hey,

What if I put a GT 1030 PCI-E 3.0 x16 in an old motherboard with a PCI-E 1.1 x16 slot? Will there be a huge bottleneck?

If yes, my other option is a GT 730 PCI-E 2.0 x16.

Also, the CPU...

Yeah, thanks. I'm thinking about using the X method, seems the best to me. Spreads more on the surface.

These do not answer my first question.

EDIT: I guess it's not a problem because when you install the heatsink on you apply some force to it that doesn't damage the pins.

I'm about to replace the thermal paste on my CPU and I just have two questions before I do it.

I'm going to use only coffee filters to rub off the old paste, simply because I don't have rubbing...

I'm using HD Tune Pro and CrystalDiskInfo to monitor the health of my hard drive because it's important to me.

Today I saw that the value of "Unsafe shutdown count" in HD Tune Pro is pretty high,...

While playing Fallout 4 the GPU temp constantly stays at 70-72 C.

Could that stress the card and shorten it's lifespan? It's not overclocked.

I've read on other sites that's a normal temp. for...

What about just putting new thermal paste without removing the old one? I guess it's not a good idea, I've never heard of anybody doing it but just curious.

Is it absolutely necessary to use rubbing (isopropyl alcohol)? Can't I just use a wipe/napkin or something else? Is there any harm in just applying the new paste without removing the old one?

I connected my PC to my 1080p TV and when I went to the setting I saw that 3840x2160 resolution is available, even at 60 Hz. How is that possible? It's even through a VGA cabel, which supports a...

I know it loads programs to the RAM so they can open faster and actually It doesn't really bother me but I just want to ask - Does it really improve performance that much? My system runs pretty fast,...

I guess It probably depends on CPU and other things. My current card is a GT 710 (PCIE x8 2.0 card) and it runs in a PCIE x16 1.1 slot. Is there a big difference? My CPU is a Core Duo E7400 @ 2.80...

When I connect them the PC doesn't even detect it, and the TV just says no signal, even though I allowed it in the TV settings.
My video card is a Gigabyte GeForce GT 710 with the latest drivers...

Well, now I'm kind of confused, Helmut is saying that the temps are normal because of the passive heatsinks and black is saying they're quite high. I guess I should just remove the heatsinks (like...

Here's what HWMonitor says while I was only browsing:

What are those TMPIN0, TMPIN01 and TMPIN02?

I don't believe dust is a problem. I cleaned it like a month ago with a can of compressed air and even before that it didn't have a lot. I don't know about the fans, they seem completely normal.

It's an old MSI MS-7525 Boston board and while running a pretty old game (the classic CS 1.6), Steam, YouTube playing some music in the background and Speccy because I monitor my temps, the...

This is not a problem, I just want to know the reason, if there is any. :D

Does anybody know why I have 2047 MB on my video card memory instead of 2048 MB? Why's that 1 MB missing? :D

I have another question: Can daily defragmentation cause any harm to the drive? I guess probably not but I'm curious.

I defragmented all my drives yesterday before going to sleep and it said 0% fragments on all, I looked it up today and there is 3% on C: and 4% on D:. This started happening a lot recently, I...

Yeah but is it good for a primary drive? As I said sometimes I download around 50 GB of stuff per day. Isn't that too much for an SSD and could it significantly shorten it's life span? And you didn't...

My D: drive is 50% full with read speed - 70 and write - 60. A few weeks ago it was 80/80.
C: drive is 13% full with read - 90 and write 80

Is it normal? Should I get a new one? Cristaldiskinfo...

Hey,

Don't know if this a dumb question or not but I'm asking just because I'm curious.
Deleted data still stays on a drive, right? At least until it's overwritten by another thing? When I plug a...

Hey there,

I download and delete a lot of huge movies and games daily. Can that slow down my HDD or possibly even increase it's failure chance? Currently, CrystalDiskInfo shows that my HDD's...
