So anyone has an idea? I can overclock to 4.8 but 4.9 isnt stable at 1.3 so i would like to be able to boost vcore just a bit more but cant find how

Hi, i have a z270p d3 with a i7 7700k. I'm trying to overclock but it seems like the MOBO wont let me enter a value higher than 1.3v for Vcore. Is that normal? Is there really no way to give more volt to the cpu with that board? I feel like it's probably something that should be in the spec...

reseting the settings doesn't seem to help. Disabling fast startup does the same as disabling hibernate with a command line: it fixes this issue but make it so that my mouse and keyboard turn the computer on when it is shut down (which i find very weird) edit: could it be MOBO related? i have a...

Recently my computer started doing something weird it wasn't doing before. When i put it into sleep, the red LED use to flash but now if it stays in sleep for a long period the light turns off which i assume is hibernation. This is not a laptop and the hibernate setting is set to "never". I...

i was able to roll back the drivers through device manager. It's a bit better now but still slower but before i installed crimson. How do i wipe the disk before installing win10? I was under the impression that intalling win10 woyld wipe the disk before installation. Would reinstaling windows...

I was able to boot from usb and at about 25% of windows install i got a blue screen with "thread stuck in device driver". If pretty sure the APU drivers got corrupted. It's an hp pavilion with an a6-5200 if i can recall correctly. After it gets stuck on welcome screen for 20 minutes it does get...

I installed crimson amd driver on my laptop and something definitely went wrong because now it freezes when it get to the welcome screen. I would like to just make a clean install of windows but how can i boot from usb if i can't even get to windows?

hopefully it was the toaster all along

so my parts should be safe?

it was only a single pop each time so it was hard to determine the cause

no, no burnt smell. I only heard the popping twice (with weeks) in between. It might have been something else but i'm about 80% sure it was the computer. The PSU was used by a friend of mine for a few years so as far as i know it is in good condition

I recently build my first PC. All parts were new but the case and the power supply. The power supply is a seasonic ss 620 gm (that's a good one right?). All the capacitator on the mobo look fine but i noticed something weird looking at the power supply. There is a weird white paste a bit...

Thx for all those answer. I' m pretty new to this and was confused since everything else that you guys mentionned are connected in some way to the motherboard. It made sense (in my confused mind) that those device would power on when you power on the board. Since those fan are not connected to...
