Some things you can try, in this order: I know you said drivers are up to date but please double check. Update drivers (with a program like Driver Booster for example). A driver or windows update (or missing one) can be the issue. Cancel all overclocks if any (CPU, GPU, disable XMP profile on...

Update: In the end, in around June I got a very good system with a Ryzen 3800X, 16 GB DDR4 (not from a reputable brand, but OCes well to 3200 mhz and tight timings), a 512 GB PCI 3.0 x4 ssd ADATA, a 4 TB seagate baracuda HDD and a Palit GTX 1660 ti 6GB GDDR6, a Gigabyte B450M DS3H, and a 650W...

Unfortunately the option of used systems is not available. I considered new Dell Precisions Workstations, but an adequate configuration for the requirements would be too expensive. I failed to mention, I also have access to a separate DELL Precision T5810 which has a Xeon v4 CPU, 32 GB of ECC...

That build is similar to what I would have built, but I have to stick to a prebuilt as mentioned.

Thank you for your answer. I share your opinion. Still I am going to look for more options during the weekend as I am of the opinion that a little more time for searching is better. I just noticed that system 1 has only 1 fan.

I am looking to request a pc configuration from my university as I require it in a research project. The pc will be paid for from the project funds. I have been informed that I have a budget euivalent to 1150 USD (the operating system is not included in this price) but consider that prices for...

Adressed to Team Intel Optane (for the AMA period): What are the future prospects estimations in terms of speed for Intel Optane Memory when other transfer standards are introduced (for example, PCIe 4.0/5.0 and further)?

Considering you issue and the fact that your OC doesn't seem to high for your cooling solution I think you have another issue: the IHS of your CPU may not be flat. Remove the CPU, clean the thermal paste and try to spin the CPU on a table. If it spins, you'll need an IHS lapping (basically...

With that PSU I wouldn't getting anything above a gtx 1060 6gb. Maybe a gtx 1070 could work but I wouldn't risk it. With a PSU upgrade, you can get a better gpu.

If you buy now, I suggest getting an RX 580 8gb. Do not overpay for a 1050 ti - around 150 USD is what I consider a normal price for those (not where the market stands, but that is the real value of that gpu). There would be a bottleneck with your current CPU whatever it is for sure but you can...

A new CPU won't help load and install times. I suggest getting a 1TB SATA SSD for games if you already have the OS on an SSD.

What is your workload? The Ryzen 2700X is a good buy but if you are mostly gaming I would get one the upcoming Zen 2 7nm CPU's that are due next year. The performance improvement will be even more worthwhile with that.

Hello everyone, I built this system at the end of 2015 and gradually got to this setup: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel - Core i7-6700K 4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($309.65 @ OutletPC) CPU Cooler: be quiet! - Dark Rock Pro 3 67.8 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU...
