    Question Will upgrading my PSU stop noise from PSU fan (9070xt upgrade)

    Thank you for the reply. I solved it. My PSU has an "eco" mode toggle. When I was switching out my GPU, I must have bumped it to "on". Turning this "off", fixed my loud PSU fan issue. Also, it reduces the heat in my case. Searching for info about the "eco" mode, its apparently not made for...

    Question Will upgrading my PSU stop noise from PSU fan (9070xt upgrade)

    My VRAM runs hot under load. The highest was 94° on furmark, but the average while gaming or running 3DMark is about 86°. I've adjusted my fan curve to be more aggressive, even with the undervolt, which dropped temps on it's own. I was concerned about the VRAM until I saw that it seems to be...

    Question Will upgrading my PSU stop noise from PSU fan (9070xt upgrade)

    I installed my Red Devil 9070xt today (3 8 pin connectors), and it runs like a champ. I've undervolted it by -60mv, and it runs stable/cool while drawing a maximum of 350 Watts. My CPU (5800x) while gaming, draws in a max of about 95 watts. I have 4 case fans, 1 m.2 drive and 2 SSD drives. I've...

    Question Higher score in TimeSpy, with lower voltage. Why?

    OK, I ran it again at 980Mv... the score was the highest I've gotten so far- 21554. I'm gonna stress test it and see if it's stable in the long haul. I also ran it at 1020Mv... the score went down about 300 points.

    Question Higher score in TimeSpy, with lower voltage. Why?

    I recently got a 6800xt Merc 319 Core from XFX. Long story short, it over clocks very well, but it has presented me with a scenario that I've never seen before, outside of heat related issues. The best Graphics score I've been able to achieve is a 21271. That is with the following settings: Min...

    Question Did I fry my rx6800?

    More info- tried booting after unplugging all my drives. No luck. Tried booting after moving card to another free pcie slot. No luck. The only thing I can think of to continue trouble shooting is switching out the gpu or motherboard. Is there anything else?

    Question Did I fry my rx6800?

    A little more info- I tried trouble shooting by removing and testing each RAM stick, after noticing the VGA light on my motherboard (red indicator light) was staying on when the computer boots. Still no signal.

    Question Did I fry my rx6800?

    Last night, I OCd my card using Adrenaline. I've had the same OC for almost 2 years on the card, but I accidentally reset it and went back in to redo it manually. Afterwards, I booted up a game and after 20 minutes, I experienced terrible performance. Long story short, I had somehow turned my...

    [SOLVED] Boot times significantly longer after updating windows.

    Thank you! I unplugged and plugged in my SSD, then downloaded that program. It detected some registry errors and fixed them. I rebooted, and it was extremely fast. Problem solved, for now at least.

    [SOLVED] Boot times significantly longer after updating windows.

    SATA SSD. Samsung 860 Evo. It's been in use for a little over 2 years. I have another 860 and an addlink s70 m.2 that I use for actual storage. After getting into Windows, everything seems to be running as snappy as it always has.

    [SOLVED] Boot times significantly longer after updating windows.

    I updated windows 10 with the latest security patch last night. After doing so, I rebooted my PC, and something has gone wrong. My boot times are ridiculously long. The time that my bios screen would show up until the moment windows would have me at the sign in screen was about 15 seconds. Now...
