I didn't try on safe mode but it'd hard to test with limited apps

I used to have a system with m2 ssd and completely different parts, I sold that system and got a new one but I'm seeing the exact problem I used to have before. This especially gets intense when there's a background installation like Steam installing a game while I'm playing or when pc is fresh...

I'm building a system for my friend, specs are below: MBD: Asrock B850M PRO RS WIFI CPU: Ryzen 9700X (supported on MB's list) GPU: Zotac RTX 5070 TI RAM: XPG 2 x 32GB 6400MHZ (supported on MB's QVL list) PSU: MSI Mag 850W When I turn on the PC there's nothing on the screen and CPU and DRAM...

I ran a game with no-vsync to get %100 usage and saw max tdp at 330 watts but temps didn't go higher than that so posted this picture. I'm considering a better thermal paste and maybe changing those worn out pads only (they almost turned into crust) because the rest doesn't look bad.

I opened the gpu, fixed the overlapping pads to make sure they are flat on each part and re-applied thermal paste. These are current highest temps I've seen on max load It got better because it was getting close 110 celcius before and my game crashed couple times Memory temps are great, gpu...

I updated the post

I've got a Palit RTX 3080, I bought it a year ago from someone else and never opened the card to check thermal pads and the paste. I've done thermal paste on different gpus and cpus before but never touched thermal pads and wanted to see the situation on mine. I think these are original...

That's what I'm concerned about right now. I know that it doesn't affect FPS on games but I want the same performance when I'm not playing games. Thanks for all the replies.

Currently I'm using one 250 GB SSD and 1 TB HDD but when every time I have to move some files on the hard drive my pc slows down like a turtle and it annoys me. Also I feel like the hard drive reduces the speed of boot ups, virus scans etc. So my plan is to remove that hard drive, get an Intel...

So here's what happened when I tried make a temp test. I got home and installed FurMark & Prime95 I ran FurMark on 4k for the highest gpu usage and also ran prime95 so I can see the highest temperature inside the case. On the fifth minute temperatures were about 74-75 Celsius and my pc...

Hi, I'm using an MSI GTX 970 on my pc with one 27" TV connected to HDMI and one 18.5" Monitor connected to VGA->DVI port. The problem is, my both screens goes dark during mid-game and doesn't come back until I push restart button. No "no signal" sign on both screens, no sound but PC is...

I'm going to upgrade my pc to an Intel 5 system. Currently I have 8 GB DDR3 1600 mhz (not sure about voltage,1.5 or 1.65) Rams. I really don't want to buy DDR4 Rams if I can use mines. So, if I buy an I5 6600 and Asus B150M Plus D3 mobo, would it make any problems? I know that Skylake CPUs...
