Thank you, guess a new cpu is in store, appreciate the response.

I have a new Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro motherboard and an I7 7700K CPU I was going to build a second system. They're both Socket 1151, but when I try to power it up, the power comes on for 1 or 2 seconds then turns off The motherboard manual says it supports 8th gen, but the cpu is 7th gen, are...

I'll start by saying I am a total noob at trying to OC a system. Never felt the need to in the past and not sure I need to now. I simply wanted to see if I could. Mobo: msi mpg z390 gaming edge ac Cpu: intel i9-9900K Ram: 32 GB DDR4 2400mhz I initially used the Gaming mode in the mobo BIOS...

Sorry, I should have added that I do have the 8 pin CPU power cable plugged into the cpu power on the mobo. The memory has been tested to work in another system. I have tried using a PCIe video card, as well as the onboard video.

I am trying to get a new system ready for my son for Christmas and running into an issue I am unsure of what to check. I have everything connected and it does power up. Motherboard LEDS, fan, AIO cooling block etc all have power, but I get no video and can't even get to BIOS. The motherboard...

I picked up a new Z390 motherboard and I9-9900K cpu. Being this time of year and all, can't blow any on a new set of RAM. I have two sets of memory currently that I can use. 64GB of 2133MHz 32GB of 2666MHz I know there isn't a big difference in speed, but even though the 64GB is double the...

Thanks, I have decided to do just that, I went ahead and installed the CPU this evening. I also had a Quadro P4000 video card given to me and while it is a CAD card, it is an improvement over the gtx 670. I will use that until I can buy a 3060 at a reasonable, non scalpers price.

I am using a Corsair Hydro Series H150 water cooling system. It should suffice, no?

That sounds like excellent advice, thank you. I have a brand new Quadro P4000 that sells for $800 new that I don't need. I can perhaps sell that for enough to cover most of the cost of a new GPU.

I was given an Intel I9-9900K cpu yesterday and was going to immediately install it to replace my I5-8500. However, my video card is just a Geforce GTX 670. My thoughts were to keep the I9 and buy a new video card when I can later or sell the I9 and use the money to buy a new video card. I...
