    Question USB Overcurrent ?

    Hey guys, recently installed a new power supply, Seasonic Prime 1000 Platinum. On the first start up, I noticed my CPU fans connected to my Corsair H110igt started at full blast. I thought that was odd, but then I noticed a smell, which I thought was the fan. I looked at the waterblock with the...

    [SOLVED] Overclocked i7 9700K to 5050 MHz. Estimated Performance gain?

    Every application is different. To find out for sure, do a benchmark with your overclocked settings, reset your clocks and benchmark again. There are dozens of bechmarks and they will all react differently. You can however use userbenchmark and benchmark your cpu and see how it compares to the...

    Question Who really knows why our displays dim and brighten slightly when mouse hovers over different windows/icons/pictures???

    Windows. is notoriously bad at handling HDR, I'm going to guess that's what the issue is here. Sounds like windows is trying to tone map sdr to HDR. Looks like it may be an effect of this windows feature https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct2d/hdr-tone-map-effect. Also, this may...

    [SOLVED] What should my steps be when wanting to increase GPU core clock with current settings?

    Before I answer the overclock question it is important to know what your CPU is, because it could be a bottleneck for your GPU hence answering the question of what is holding back your GPU. To answer the overclocking question, the first step would be increase the power limit to its maximum, and...

    Question Overclocking concern

    50C is definitely not an issue, you're actually running very cool. Temp shouldn't be a concern until it get's in the upper 80C range. I wouldn't worry at all especially if you haven't messed with the CPU voltages too much.

    [SOLVED] PC wont let me boot to new SSD after cloning

    I switched the drives and was able to boot to my new drive after making the old drive inactive using command prompt. After I successfully booted to my new drive, I made the old one active again and formatted it.

    [SOLVED] PC wont let me boot to new SSD after cloning

    Correct, the 970 EVO is first. In fact, if I disable all the other drives and only have the 970 as a boot drive, it WILL NOT boot to the 970 EVO as long as the 960 evo is physically present. I have an asus maximus viii hero motherboard if that matters.

I've updated my BIOS to the latest version, turned off my overclock, checked temps. All temps seem to be fine. I have also tried restoring to an earlier date, which did not work...

    Computer keeps restarting. Brand new build.

    In the ROG BIOS my 3.3V voltage shows as +3.296V, the 5V shows as +5.000, and 12V shows and +12.000V. The voltages are not fluctuating so I don't know if this reading is in real time.
