I have updated it, i may double check in case there was further updates. but currently i still have 200W PL1 PL2 limit and the motherboard boost thing disabled. still getting some throttle temps in a core here and there during the specific game thats runner higher than most. but it sounds like...

Thanks for this, sounds like I'm not experiencing anything too crazy. I did just try a new game and it was running around 85 on average from the sounds of that video and what you're saying thats not an issue?

This actually was most of my problem I think. Updated BIOS, reset my power settings and stuff and I think that definitely helped. I'm not going above 70 for a game that was thermal throttling me yesterday. Thanks for this tip I never would have thought of this. Still running spicy but this looks...

Apologies for the lack of info. Generally my rooms anywhere from 68-70F The case is a Corsair 5000D airflow. Three 120 fans in front intake. 2 140 on top exhaust and a 120 back exhaust. Cpu cooler is noctua nhd15s with an extra 120 fan. Msi 4090 Ram is Corsair ddr5 32gb 6200mhz i think, not at...

As title says I'm trying to get temps a little lower. I've never under/overclocked in my life. When I built my PC they were out of 14700k so i went with the Intel i9-14900k. I'm using an air cooler which i know swapping to AIO would potentially help a bit but ideally I'd like to avoid messing...

I recently got a new PC build (by microcenter) and I'm noticing texture pop in issues and LOD stuff being really apparent. For example in Darktide swapping weapons will take a second for the textures to fully load. Or in other games things further away in the distance will either disappear or...

clock wise is that more from benchmarks? I've seen a handful of people talking about how gaming doesn't tend to draw as much power/heat. I just wonder about like max setting in something like cyberpunk if i'd be better off just caving and going for AIO

well maybe i just take the leap and try an AIO for the first time that way im not paranoid about the heat. My main reason for the D15S is the extra RAM clearance. not sure if the regular 15 has enough room for ram clearance. I'll have to check, i know some people just raise the fan up a little...

As title says this is the build I'm wanting to go with. My only concern is the cpu cooler. I see so many mixed things about AIO and air. I'm partial to air cause with my luck I'd get a leaky AIO. Use is primarily for gaming on 1440p 144hz CPU: i7 14700k Motherboard: MSI Z790 Mag Tomahawk GPU...

I'm trying to install windows fresh on a new pc. I have two M2s installed. One in the top slot and another in the second. The bios seems to recognize that there are m2 devices installed but neither show up in the nvme setup page on my bios. Neither show up in the windows install option either...

so it sounds like using the top m2 slot and my gpu slot will use the 20 lanes from my cpu, and the other 3 m2 slots will not affect those lanes at all?

I'm going to be building a new pc with the Gigabyte Z690 aorus pro and it has 4 slots for nvme ssds and I was planning on putting two in but being a fairly non tech savy person I just learned that pcie lanes exist and I'm a little confused on it. If I put two ssds in will they take up lanes...

I’m gonna be building with the 5000D solid front case, I’ll be using an i7 12700 and a 3090. I’m gonna put 3 120mm fans in the front and one in back. Cpu cooler will be a noctua nh-u12s. Is the case gonna be decent or should I consider something else?
