  1. Am I killing my computer?


    I've noticed my laptop getting pretty hot when I play games. I downloaded open hardware monitor to look at the temperatures, and all of my CPU (intel i7 8750h) cores are constantly hovering 2-5 degrees below what is considered "maximum" (about 90 celcius on each core). Likewise, the GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) is riding right at what it says is max temperature. Am I about to burn this thing out? I leave it running overnight with it's screen off because I run a server from it, but if I'm breaking the computer, I might have to cut it out.

    Most Recent Windows 10 Update Killed Sound


    What kind of speakers do you use and meaning it killed your speakers ? Maybe speaker connection is an issue, but most likely something with sound device settings or drivers. What exact steps have you tried. Anyone of filling in system specs here or listing them as it helps us more to help you.

    Am I killing my computer?

    Does this computer build have compatibility problems? Opinions welcomed!

    Lets start with what you're going to use this computer for, not what you want to put in it.

    Rules/steps to building a computer (in chronological order):
    First rule: Determine what your needs are.
    Second rule: Define your budget.
    Third rule: Pick parts.
    Fourth rule: Review parts several times.
    Fifth rule: Buy said parts.
    Sixth rule: Build it.

    You are on rule/step 1. Go through the list until you're done.
