    Display Issue - Touchscreen Appears Snowy

    Graphics card might have some issues...but, that might be big issue, as I imagine it's likely integrated in the chipset or otherwise soldered on the motherboard. Don't quote me. I don't know if there's a way to hook this up to an external display and see what you get, but I would try that if...

    Too much thermal grease?

    Back then, headspreaders were uncommon, and if AMD had them it was on Opterons only. Wicked is correct. Furthermore, for thermal paste, you only want a little bit of it to help facilitate heat transfer. Too much and it starts to act like a barrier.

    Looking For The Best Gpu Without Bottlenecks

    http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/thermaltake-purepower-430w-np-power-supply-review/9/ Old-ish design, mediocre performance with the ATX 1.03. Most current PSU's are at least ATX 2.2 or 2.3. You can try, but it may very well not power up. If you're willing to drop $500 on brand new video card, why...

    Looking For The Best Gpu Without Bottlenecks

    Which specific PSU? 450W doesn't mean much. Theoretically, it's probably fine, but not all are the same. If it came with your case, it's garbage and with the potential of a GeForce 1080, a good 450W would be a stretch, let alone a crappy one.

    The "What are you playing" thread.

    I enjoyed CoD: Ghosts for what it's worth. Could not get into AW and sold it. Right now, I'm looking forward to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Gears of War 4, and Mass Effect Andromeda especially.

    How Much Will I Make Per Month With A Rx480 On Goldminer ?

    A die shrink can help on power, but it's only a factor. To notice the difference, you need to do an apples-to-apples comparison, preferably same clock speed on the GPU and RAM between two cards. In theory, it should deliver improvements on performance and power. As with any new product, waiting...

    Wol Function Not Working Properly On Msi Z170a Gaming

    Did you follow the BIOS update instructions to the letter? I know when I flashed a different MSI board, I missed a step and the BIOS would have a boot issue with a cold boot. What's the specs of the rest of the thing?

    Pc Turns On But No Display.

    Specs are a good start. In the meantime, check your power connections to the motherboard. ALL need to be plugged in. Same with the video card.

    Cpu Manufacturing Concerns...

    Well, first, if this is your business outline, you need to refine it. Between the thread title and the message, I'm not clear on what product you intend to manufacture. Is it a CPU, a computer case, or a pre-built computer?

    Suggestion for scanner?

    I don't know how well it would actually work because I don't know if it works with similar technology to, say, a camera. What are you looking to use it for specifically.

    Complete Gaming Rig For ~1400

    If you think you might overclock, then it would be a wise idea to invest in a CPU cooler. The Intel ones are fine for stock---nothing spectacular, but they do the job fine for the purpose. Do you have an OS? If not, factor that in.

    Help! Random Black Screen Crashes And Occasional Reboots

    I know Windows 10 has had some issues, particularly when upgraded over Windows 7/8 instead of a clean install. May or may not be a factor here, but something to keep in mind. 90*C is way too hot. If you want a second opinion from software, I would recommend CoreTemp, which uses the integrated...
