    Question Bad screen flicker and tear RX 5700 XT

    Not very good at this, but maybe lower your overclocks if you've done any? If you haven't, try downclocking your card and test out the games again. I'm guessing that's the problem because this only happens when the card is under heavy load and the same thing happened to me when I first got my...

    [SOLVED] Brand new RX 580 is making a scratchy/grinding noise from the right fan, can I fix it?

    I've just picked up the last RX 580 on Amazon (brand new) for $200 CAD, and I can still refund it, but the card is now out of stock and is my best choice by far for a graphics card. I just tested it and the right fan starts making a weird scratching or grinding sound. Is there something I can...

    Question Headphones on front panel/motherboard don't work, MSI's support isn't helping.

    Linux doesn't work as well. Although the headphones on linux weren't detected, there was a weird popping sound on the headphones which didn't happen on Windows. Nevertheless, it wasn't detected or working.

    Question Headphones on front panel/motherboard don't work, MSI's support isn't helping.

    I am using both the front and back built-in motherboard audio ports, neither work. I found this happening in my Control Panel -> Manage Audio Devices which ONLY HAPPENS when I plug in my headphones. It kind of flashes very quickly once every ~15-20 seconds. When the headphones are unplugged...

    Question Headphones on front panel/motherboard don't work, MSI's support isn't helping.

    Anyone else have some ideas? Maybe my motherboard shipped broken? Waited a day for MSI support to suggest updating my BIOS to the same version I'm currently on.

    For anyone else who has this problem, MSI says this: I tried it, but nothing changed.

    Question Headphones on front panel/motherboard don't work, MSI's support isn't helping.

    The "manage sound devices" link isn't much help. These are my drivers: HD sound is enabled in BIOS, but I don't think I have the option for the type of port selection. I'll try updating my BIOS and see how that goes. I've also tried mixing and matching/disabling and enabling different audio...

    Question Headphones on front panel/motherboard don't work, MSI's support isn't helping.

    I've just built my new PC, everything seems good but the audio ports don't work. I've tried the front (on the case) and the back (directly on the motherboard) and they all don't work. I've tried downloading every single driver I could find but nothing works. My motherboard is a B450 Gaming...

    [SOLVED] Is a 1080 TI AERO OC a good model of 1080 TI?

    I really couldn't care less about the noise, I also have 3 case fans ordered from Amazon so hopefully that should help as well. Also, this card is cheaper than 420$ (USD) so I'd still rather stick with it. Thanks for the info!!

    [SOLVED] Is a 1080 TI AERO OC a good model of 1080 TI?

    I currently have a great deal for a 1080 TI AERO OC, but I don't see much about it's speed relative to other models of 1080 TI, or it's thermal throttling/heat dissipation. Is it a good model of 1080 TI to get? Thanks! (I am using it for gaming, but I am more worried about it getting...

    [SOLVED] Is the 1080 TI Founders Edition worth buying for 500 CAD? Should I try to buy an aftermarket version?

    Since a liquid cooler already costs more than an aftermarket one, I'll just look to buy an aftermarket card and be done. Thanks bro.

    [SOLVED] Is the 1080 TI Founders Edition worth buying for 500 CAD? Should I try to buy an aftermarket version?

    I have a good deal for a 1080 TI Founders Edition for $500 on Kijiji, but I'm not sure how it compares to the newer 1080 TI models. Are there any problems associated with the 1080 TI Founders Edition? Is it worth buying instead of trying to find another model of 1080 ti? I am going to keep the...
