Thank you so much I really appreciate it!

From a 1070ti, and a case from the company DeepCool that tracks my temps. Not sure the exact model right now sorry

Did this a few weeks ago, and I always make sure it’s a proper amount.

Power Supply is Corsair CX 650W. Bought this new within the past 2 years. The rest of the pc is older than 2 years other than the GPU.

Hello all, I recently upgraded my GPU and since have been having temperature issues with my CPU. My pc is reading the CPU temps between 60-90°C with most games, which usually results in me turning it off. My question is: Is the issue my CPU or my CPU fan, and what would be a good part to upgrade...

Hello all, I am building a pc for my girlfriend with a bunch of old parts that I can find and I was wondering which of these if any would be the best option with what i have. Thanks! CPU: Intel i-5-3570 3.40GHZ Intel i-5-4570 3.20Ghz Intel i-5-2500 3.30Ghz Intel i-5-4670 3.40Ghz Other...

Will do it’s probably dried out you’re right. Should i wait to see if this helps or coukd it be the cpu fan like i may have thought?

Thanks for the response I was running a GTX 1070ti beforehand, and no i did not since i’m on a fresh M.2 SSD with no gpu drivers and as of right now no other drives plugged in. Also for my mobo Im on version 2020.14.0.1600

As mentioned, openhardwaremonitor detects 20W max from my new GPU after upgrading. Cannot get close to 60 fps in any game, and freezes and fps drops in gameplay as well. I have updated the drivers for my mobo and gpu, reinstalled windows on a fresh SSD, tried all new cables within my pc, and...

Thanks for the response, I built my pc with the original PSU in 2015 i believe and this is my first upgrade since. I definitely want to make my build last for as long as I can and do not want to cheap out, so with that being said are there parts that potentially could damage or break such as the...

Hello I recently bought some new parts and contrary to what reddit testimonials said, my old 500W power supply is not enough to handle the rig. I have spent 4 days working through issues installing windows etc. and am desperately trying to complete the upgrade so I can get back to the usual...

Hello I am looking to spend about $1000 to upgrade my pc to optimize it for the games i play, those being mostly battlefield 1 and rainbow six. Here are my current specs which were purchased around 2015. I assume GPU would be priority but thats why im here to ask. CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 @...

I am adding an 860 EVO SATA M.2 SSD into my computer, but whenever I put the m.2 drive in the motherboard it stops reading my other D drive (Seagate 1.5tb sata), and replaces it with the new m.2. I have heard that m.2 can cut off connection to sata ports, so if that is the case, is it all of the...

Sorry, it was a SATA, not an IDE. I can only find 2 sata ports which are both being used. Is there a way to get another one or should i return the M.2?

I currently have an Aorus Z370 Motherboard with 1TB of IDE and 250GB (with my OS) SDD. I am trying to add a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB Sata M.2, which attaches to my motherboard. When i startup my PC, my 1TB IDE does not read in bios or windows. I tried a memory diagnostic and a disk manager scan...
