Current PC setup

Here are my current PC specs:

PC Chipsets [What, Why, How]

Chipsets are a collection of ICs that establish communication between various components on the motherboard e.g., CPU and RAM.

Motherboard RGB Header: What, Where & How

The RGB header on the motherboard is a connection port that controls the RGB illumination of a computer or RGB components.

Hyper-Threading: Everything To Know

Intel Hyper-Threading technology splits a core into two threads rather than one so that the core can perform more tasks in parallel. 

Thermal Throttling Explained [CPUs And GPUs]

Thermal throttling refers to the automatic reduction of a computer's performance to prevent overheating of the CPU or GPU.

Thermal Paste: What, Why & How

Thermal paste is a viscous substance that improves thermal conductivity between CPU and heatsink surfaces for efficient heat conduction.

Motherboard Form Factors [All Types & Difference]

The common motherboard form factors are Mini ITX, MicroATX, ATX, and E-ATX. ATX is the most common one of all.

Explained: Base & Boost Clock Speeds For CPU/GPU

Base clock speed is the default speed at which your CPU runs, while boost clock speed is the temporarily higher speed when the load is heavy.

CPU Clock Speed: Definition & Everything To Know

CPU Clock Speed is the number of computation cycles a CPU can execute in one second, measured in cycles per second (Hertz).

What Is The Motherboard IO Shield & How To Install It?

The motherboard IO shield is a metal plate that comes with the motherboard, providing protection against EMI and static discharge.

CPU Threads: All You Should Know

A CPU thread is a virtualized processing unit that allows tasks to be executed in parallel within a CPU core, allowing multitasking.

CPU Cores: Everything You Need To Know

A CPU core is an individual processing unit within a CPU that can execute instructions and tasks independently.

What is CAS Latency? [Definitive Guide]

CAS latency refers to the duration it takes for RAM to fulfill a data access request initiated by the CPU.

What Is VRM? [Definition, Types & Importance]

VRMs regulate voltage coming from the PSU and maintain stable and consistent voltage levels.

RAM Frequency: Everything You Need To Know

RAM frequency is the speed at which data moves between RAM and the CPU, measured in MHz, with a direct impact on the overall performance.

CPU Cooler Buying Guide: Things To Know

No matter if you're gaming, working, or overclocking, you must know how to choose the right CPU cooler. There are several ways to do so.
