    Question Troubleshoot me - inconsistent boot success

    Well, Day 1 of my PC booting normally from cold... I'm super annoyed it was seemingly as simple as that, but makes sense with it vibrating around in the back of a van

    Question Troubleshoot me - inconsistent boot success

    Hello and many thanks for your reply! I like your thinking and I have just unplugged the PC, dusted carefully inside and out, checked all cables firmly plugged on the frontside, removed the GPU, checked the CMOS battery was in properly (I don't have a spare to hand, will get one tomorrow if...

    Question Troubleshoot me - inconsistent boot success

    Background: So, I have just moved house, and my PC has been in storage for a few weeks. I also have a new monitor. These are the only 2 events that have occurred since my PC was booting normally.

    Question GPU for a 6700k?

    Question GPU for a 6700k?

    A gift from family who weren't to know. I was quite happy at 2k... But I'm trying to make it work lol Probably jumped the gun there. I honestly would be happy with 70-80 tbh *opens case* I have a Corsair HX850i Platinum

    Question GPU for a 6700k?

    Hey, I haven't been on TH forums since I built my PC 9ish years ago... And with that I'm still rocking the 6700k and 4GB R9 380 I put in it back then. I wasn't having a problem running games on *meh* settings at 2k, but I've recently acquired a 4k 160hz panel...... Naturally with the DP1.2...
