    Question Can I use my RTX 2080 and 3070 together? (gaming, streaming, recording)

    Sorry for the late response, I did read both responses and I appreciate them. After reading them and doing a bit more research on power draw and PSU output I went ahead and installed both, undervolted, and have not had any issues or even a sign of an issue. However, I do have one question, I do...

    [SOLVED] Keyboard doesn’t work so I'm stuck on "Please enter setup to recover BIOS, Press F1 to Run Setup” ?

    MY SOLUTION: So I posted this at 3:15am, it’s now 6:45am, and I ran into the problem at around midnight and start trying to solve it then. So… I spent almost 7 hours trying to solve this issue, tore my entire PC apart, rewired EVERYTHING and still didn’t fix it. I laid down to go to sleep and...

    [SOLVED] Keyboard doesn’t work so I'm stuck on "Please enter setup to recover BIOS, Press F1 to Run Setup” ?

    I’m not even sure how this happened, all I did was plug my case fans directly to the motherboard vs. being plugged into my Corsair Commander. Now I can’t boot in Windows…. Issue: Stuck on the American Megatrends screen where it says “Please enter setup to recover BIOS, Press F1 to Run Setup”...

    [SOLVED] Will current PSU work for new GPU?

    Agreed. My 5800x is overclocked to 4.8ghz all core stable and I’ll definitely be overclocking my new 3070ti, my little 1060 SSC is overclocked to +180 core and +1000 mem after thermal paste and pad replacement. This is my area of expertise, PSU and power demands are not. Would you still...

    [SOLVED] Will current PSU work for new GPU?

    Ahhh so there’s two PCIe cables with two 8 pin (6+2) connectors. Been awhile since I built this thing and the specs sheets aren’t clear. I do plan on upgrading my PSU, prob something like 1000w Supernova series, but for the next 3-4 weeks will mine be adequate without any power consumption issues?

    [SOLVED] Low CPU Utilization on Warzone - Ryzen 5800x - GTX 1060 SSC 6gb

    I built my PC several months back while GPU prices were astronomically high and hard to even get your hands on, so I picked up a slightly used EVGA GTX 1060 SSC 6gb to use until prices and availability are somewhat back to normal and I can grab a 3080-3090 for a decent price. I have a Ryzen 7...

    [SOLVED] Port Forwarding not working (PC)

    That's what I'm hoping for as well. Hoping they can give me a solution such as commercial service with static IP, a VPN is really my last resort and even then I doubt I'll mess with it. My latency issue has since worked itself out, I'm under 10ms on speed test and usually 20-25ms on Warzone...

    [SOLVED] My OC is too high after thermal paste and pad replacement - GTX 1060 SSC 6gb

    I have an EVGA GTX 1060 SSC 6gb that I’ve had overclocked to a stable +125 core and +450 mem for months now. Under load in Heaven benchmark it would average about 72 degrees before new paste and pads. I used Artic MX-4 and Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8 (1.5mm thick, cant seem to post pictures...

    [SOLVED] Port Forwarding not working (PC)

    Do you mean too many people in my household or in my region or everybody they provide service to? If I call them, assuming customer service is capable and willing, is this something that can resolved for free or by paying more for the option?
