    Question 3080 Crashing consistently in any game

    Install HWinfo, see if any temps look out of range. Sorry, I'll check this when I can.

    Question 3080 Crashing consistently in any game

    One braided cabled that has 2 power connectors is a split. 2 individual power cables to each connector is ideal, in terms of power delivery and performance. I know its a pain, but a quick search on YouTube will show you why. Install HWMonitor and keep an eye on it. That's by far the easiest...

    Question Pre-built PC for ~$2k

    @Yozay123 - Are refurbs an option for you? Only ones I'd recommend are from reputable sellers with warranties, but figured I'd ask.

    Build Advice What should I upgrade first ?

    Quickest and largest improvement - pick up a used 3070/3070ti for $400 or less. Other than that, your PC has a ton of bottlenecks, specifically the CPU. Aside from having more storage, the WD Black SSD won't make any difference except slightly faster loading times in some games. Wish I had...

    Question Random BSOD and Event 41 Kernel-Power - - - NVMe SSD -> off ?

    Been there, this situation sucks. Sorry dude. Event 41-> Kernel-Power - The previous system shutdown: these are basically useless unfortunately. "Loss of power" can be a million different things. Things that come to mind: -If your SSD doesn't show in the BIOS, its either overheating, defective...

    Question One of my two RAM sticks is undetected after SSD upgrade ?

    Am i disabled? Nah, this is a weird one. I think testing the PSU is a good start, but over the course of years, I have seen a lot of motherboards with broken/defective RAM slots, or something tiny is just wedged in there. That sounds like a possibility here, especially if things have acted...

    Question Upgrade failed from i7 14700F to i9 14900k

    How dare you. I only have 0.3 seconds of latency at 600fps. Dropping down to a measly 500fps shoots my latency up to 0.32 seconds. Literally unplayable garbage and I won't stand for it, good sir /s

    Question 3080 Crashing consistently in any game

    Ah bummer, always a stressful situation. You said the temps look fine, what what temps are you looking at? HWINFO will show memory, core, and hotspot temps. The core temp isn't the whole shebang. 2nd thought, what is your PSU brand and model? This could be a failing PSU. especially if the...

    News How to Optimize Your GPU for Ethereum Mining

    In your scenario, I would just add an Exception in BitDefender. If that still doesn't work, then switch to another antivirus. I've just been going off of Windows Defender for a few years now. It's gotten to the point where it's more than sufficient. I know, I can't believe it either. If you...

    News How to Optimize Your GPU for Ethereum Mining

    Nice Hash is not a scam, nor is it Malware. It just uses scripts and batch files that resembles it. I've personally used it, but there are better options. Just my two cents. If someone is claiming it's a scam, they most likely screwed up and are trying to place blame on NiceHash.

    News How to Optimize Your GPU for Ethereum Mining

    I was reading on my mobile. I thought I went through every page, but obviously not. Apologies for that. Interesting take. It's true that I never set fans to 100%. My current ones are running on a curve up to 80%. Funny enough. I have a wire shelf holding all of the 4U cases that contain my...

    News How to Optimize Your GPU for Ethereum Mining

    Jarred: Your power consumption is way too high, and your hashrate way too low. Wondering what kind of setup you are using? Open air, or enclosed case? I have 3080's and 3090's running at 65% power, +800 to +1500 on the memory. The 3080's get me 95-100mh, and the 3090 is getting 125mh. Power...

    Review AOC Agon AG493UCX Monitor Review: 4 Feet of Mega-Wide Gaming Goodness

    This product is DOA. Samsung CRG9 has the same specs, but with Quantum Dot and HDR1000. It's marked up at the moment ($1287), but I've seen it drop down to $1100 on sale. I'd gladly sacrifice the 10bit color for a full HDR1000.

    Question 3700x - poor stock performance

    Yep, fresh install of Win 10 1903 Fresh install of 1903. CPU was reaching 4.3 during process, which I guess is normal. The 4.4 is something that rarely occurs, or so I've heard. Unsure about the power/TDP restraints. I don't recall seeing anything like that in this Asus BIOS. Yes, all cores and...
