    Question 2700 or 2700X?

    Most X470 board offer very similar features, one thing i would suggest is we are promised Ryzen on AM4 until 2020, A good board now might be worth it down the line if you want to upgrade to Zen 2+ around 2021. The Hyper 212 and the stock cooler of the 2700x are pretty close to be honest, I have...

    Question Won't boot

    Hi all, Working on a rig at the moment and installed a new boot SSD in it last night. Installed everything, had everything working perfect and then shut down the pc to head to bed. Woke this morning and went to boot off the old boot drive, a 7200rpm 2TB HDD, just to grab a file and now neither...

    Question 2700 or 2700X?

    Hey, I currently have a 2700x and like the moderator said, 4.2ghz is really hard to get stable, at 1.35v i'm not stable at 4.2ghz and I have a h100i v2 cooling the CPU. If you're using a RX 580 then both CPUs will be a treat to use. I have a GTX 1070 and I am in almost all scenarios GPU...

    Question Rather hot idling temperature - GTX 1070

    Thanks for the swift reply! I'm beginning to believe you're right and that I simply didn't notice. On cold boot temps are still low, around 30c but do creep up towards the mid 40s with time. I did change the thermal paste and it knocked a wicked 16c off my load temps so that is something I...

    Question Rather hot idling temperature - GTX 1070

    I need some help with my GPU temps. As of late, the GPU is idling very hot, roughly 52c which is way above my comfort zone, especially considering the card used to idle at mid 30s without any issues. Now i must confess, while doing some PC maintenance i had a nightmare occur. I bought some...

    Question Ryzen 7 2700x temperature inconsistent at idle

    This is how XFR2 works, the CPU frequency will constantly jump around, going up higher when needed and backing off at idle. Even while it is backed off, it tends to jump around due to windows tasks and what not and this is where the jumps come from. I see the very same behavior on my 2700x so do...

    Question Funny 2700x behaviour

    Appreciate the reply man, and I suppose your mindset is far better than mine! my only issue is that I do in fact use a 144hz monitor so I need those 150fps,the only consolat I have is the extreme stuttering only happens when I’m pushing over 200 fps in PUBG,is it possible that could be engine...

    Question Funny 2700x behaviour

    I’ve had my Ryzen 7 2700x almost a year now and it’s always performed like a champ but lately I’ve noticed some weird behaviours and was looking for a second opinion. So around Christmas I replaced the thermal paste between my CPU and the H100i v2 I have cooling it and since I’ve done so the...
