I am looking to upgrade from an old gaming laptop to a laptop with a better battery life mostly, but is still very fast and has a reasonable GPU setup, around my price range of 750 USD or less. I have found two compelling options that blend enough performance and battery life for my needs at...

I was thinking that at first, but now I found an EVOO laptop with an i7-9750h, 16gb ram, a gtx 1660 ti, 512gb ssd, and a 144hz display for 699$. I think the gpu and display upgrade make it a much more significant upgrade for the price? Is this worth it, or should I just upgrade my existing one?

I am looking to get a good gaming laptop for under 800 dollars. The one that I currently own is a Dell Inspiron gaming with an i7-7700hq, gtx 1050 ti, 16gb ddr4 2400 mhz ram, and a 128 ssd and 1 tb hdd combo or storage. The one I am considering the most at the moment is the HP Pavilion gaming...

Could I use two separate cables as well?

I have a 750w cooler master 80+ gold, do you think It would be the same case there, and does it say on the psu itself how many watts per cable?? Also, I'm using cables that didn't originally come with the psu, so I don't know if that would have an impact or not.

I have a gtx 1070 ti which I wish to plug into my PSU, and I have a single 8 pin power cable with 2 6+2 connectors on the end. Could I plug both 6+2 pin cables in and not have to use a second port on my psu, or do I have to use 2 separate cables entirely. I have another evga variant of the same...

Sorry about all the variables, but yes I put it in my computer in a slot that has a working GPU in it and it still didn't work and did as I described above. To clarify more, all of the issues began after I messed up the riser, so that is the most probable cause as of now.

I have a gtx 1060 that I put on a riser and somehow managed to put the PCIe adapter in backwards and turned it on... The card doesn't even spin the fan when plugged into a normal pcie slot, it only tries to spin, stops, and clicks. It also has no video output whatsoever... It may not have been...

I have noticed that two show up as dual-rank and two as single rank in CPU-Z, could that mean anything? What It said Memory SPD ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIMM # 1 SMBus address 0x50 Memory type DDR4 Module...

I have now determined that the manufacturer differs amongst the four sticks, two made by sk hynix and the other two by micron technology. Could this be the issue?

Update: 2400mhz didn't work either... is there any way to make it work besides getting 2 16gb sticks or no?

I recently installed an extra 16gb of ram to my computer which specs are i5-8600k, 16gb (now 32gb) ddr4 ram (Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz (PC4 21300) C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2A2666C16) is the exact model, along with a 1060 6gb and the mobo is MSI Z370...

Sorry for the wait, but I've isolated the issue. It appears that the PSU fan never stops, even when I unplug it from the wall. Sounds crazy, but unplugging the entire motherboard initially fixed the issue making the fan stop and the computer boot up properly. However, I tried unplugging the only...

Yeah, but when I go to turn the PC on with the 1200w , nothing happens at all, while the other one clicks at first and then works after I remove a cable.
