Got a Ryzen CPU and saw Ryzen Master can tweak clocks and memory. I've never overclocked anything. Can it damage the chip or void anything if I just use the default auto settings? Mostly want a few extra frames in games.
Building a new rig mostly for gaming at 1440p, some streaming on the side. Budget isn't tight but I don't want to pay for cores I'll never use. Torn between AMD and Intel and the benchmarks I find all disagree. What would you go with?
Two processors on paper look close in core count and clock speed but reviews show big gaming gaps. What should I actually compare, cache, single-core scores, benchmarks in specific games?
One of them said my pc meets the recommended specs for a strategy game, then it ran at 20 fps late game. Do people actually trust those checks or is it better to look up benchmarks for your exact cpu?
Planning an upgrade and want a rough idea of what frame rates I'd get in a few games at 1440p before I spend money. The calculator sites I tried give wildly different numbers for the same CPU and GPU. Which ones do you trust, if any?
Older Surface Pro 4 here. Desktop is fine, but the second a game goes fullscreen the screen turns into scrambled lines and flickers. Windowed mode is a bit better. Is this the known display issue on these or a driver thing?
It restarts out of nowhere, sometimes mid-game, sometimes just on the desktop. No blue screen, just a black screen and back to the BIOS logo. Temps look normal and I already reseated the RAM. PSU is about five years old. Where should I look next?
RAM and fans go out of sync after every reboot and sometimes the motherboard LEDs just stay white. Uninstalled and reinstalled Armoury Crate twice with their removal tool. Anyone found a fix that sticks, or a lighter alternative?
