    [SOLVED] One Used GTX 1070 fan fine - other can't spin

    I bought these fans off eBay, they arrived in 3 days, and it was an easy install. Both fans are functioning properly and the noise levels are quiet! I can now directly control the fan speeds via MSI Afterburner and the fans don't rev up under load. Temps are better too! Thank you for the help.

    [SOLVED] Old GPU died, looking for replacement

    Do I need a new power supply?

    I do need a new power supply. A Dynex Power supply is not adequate. However, it is not inadequate because it is not providing enough power. The CPU core count problem was fixed by uninstalling some Windows updates that messed up the boot in some way. Thank you everyone for your help. Much...

    Do I need a new power supply?

    Hi, recently I installed new hardware; an Intel Pentium G3258 and an ASRock B85 Killer motherboard, with 14 GB of DDR3 Ram @ 1333 MHz. The problem is that my computer will not boot when I have "active cores" in my BIOS set to all/auto. I can only successfully boot with 1 core active, otherwise...
