On page 2, the MSI MEG Z390 Godlike picture is of an AMD board not the Intel version.

Overclock your Ryzen 5 1600 to >3.9 Ghz and then buy a 1080ti. They are still going for $550 on ebay, or you can buy a new 1080 or 2070 which should help you max out games at 1080p 144hz. I also game at 144hz and find the 1070 adequate for some games so a more powerful gpu would provide an...

Plug your power line into a port on the router and have just one cable going from the router to the modem.

If it was a Windows PC or really any other brand of laptop I would say to take off the back and put thermal pad or copper shingles on the RAM chips. If you could use the aluminum shell as a heatsink for the RAM with thermal pads in between that would be ideal. Unfortunately I have no idea how...

Trolls leave him alone. If OP is a troll then fml... What is your GPU usage? Monitor using EVGA Precision X or MSI after burner. Set Power management in Nvidia Control panel to prefer maximum performance. Also trying setting your fps cap to 400 with the GTX 1070. I found that setting it to...

Go into Nvidia Control Panel and change Power management to maximum performance. Also I'm eyeballing that CPU (2 cores with hyper threading at 3.7GHz). Its probably at very high usage. Use a monitoring tool like MSI after burner to monitor GPU usage and per-core CPU usage.

What are the temps that you are referencing? In general anything below 85C shouldn't damage the RAM. It vary's after that.

While in Gen 1 uninstall grpahics drivers and install the newest ones using geforce experience. OP does not have a hdmi port on MoBo btw .... Then set to Gen 3 and see if this fixes it.

Yes, you will experice bottlenecks in CPU intensive games @1080p and @1440p. I have a 980ti overclocked to 1506 MHz and 3570k @ 4.5 GHz and experiance serious bottlenecking in BF4 at 1080p 144Hz. GPU usage at like 80% max with only 120 FPS keep in mind I want more than 144FPS (and this is on a...

Actually it might depending on the resolution. My 3570k @ 4.5 GHz bottlenecks 1 980ti @1080p. However I doubt you will have this problem at 4K. People need to become aware graphic technology is catching up CPUs. A 5960X bottlenecks 3 Titan Xs (Aka 980ti - 5-8% performance). If you are playing...
