    [SOLVED] i7-8700k Dangerously overheating

    One last question. Which would cool better? A liquid cooler like the Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID ML240L or the Noctua NH-d15?

    [SOLVED] i7-8700k Dangerously overheating

    Okay. Im going to order the Noctua and in the meantime I'll try rearranging the radiator and fan. I'll probably go ahead and delid and add a copper IHS. I'll be upgrading the case soon. May go with a larger radiator then.

    [SOLVED] i7-8700k Dangerously overheating

    I'm having extreme temperature control problems with my rig. Idle temps are 65-75c. And the second I start a game it instantly jumps to 90-100+. This is causing the blue screen crash constantly. And I also believe it to be limiting my performance. I have a kraken M22 cooler but from the forums...

    XFX R9 390 having trouble with Vsync and overall performance.

    I will give that a try. Thanks. I didn't know that's how vsync worked, but it used to lock all my games to 60fps. And I got it for about $400.

    XFX R9 390 having trouble with Vsync and overall performance.

    Hi guys. I have been having problems running vsync on all of my games. On games like Insurgency I normally run at 60-75 fps, I will turn the Vsync on and it will lock to 30 fps and make my mouse "lag." But without Vsync my screen tears, also making it almost unplayable. This happens with all...
