The last Intel board that i have is an Asus ROG Maximus X hero Z370 from when i built my 8700k. I then switched over to a 3600x at work and a 7700x at home, that replaced the 8700k. The only ones i would have access to is some CAD computers i built at work that are Asus Prime Z790-A. But i...

So I have a strange one going on. System Intel 13900KF Asus Prime z690p wifi A-Data DDR5 32GB 5600 running at 4800 Asus tuf 4090 Yeyian 1000w So a guy at work brought this in. Not sure if it makes any difference but hes Chinese which might explain the PSU. Anyway he said hes been having...

or do all your bends, then paint them with a candy apple red paint.

I custom water cooled for Pentium 4 up until i bought my 8700k and only used copper blocks, never splurged for nickel blocks.

I did a red loop once before, be warned it will stain your parts. No matter how many times i tried to flush the radiators i could not get the color out, running distilled water it would turn it pink. I ran XSPC ECX Ultra concentrate coolant blood red, note you should drain, clean, and...

X58 does not support UEFI, which most new GPUs now use a UEFI bios. The 4090 supports both UEFI and VGA bios, which is why it will work on the older x58 boards. On side note......"AMD has announced that its upcoming RX 9070 series (RDNA 4) GPUs will require a UEFI system for optimal...

You can also get an Epic account, they have quite a few free games and every week they give away 1-2 free games . I have yet to buy a game on Epic and have over 400 games in my library.

Might be slightly unrelated, but i had a dell micro PC that had a PSU that was under the recommended amp ratting and locked the CPU to .75GHz. i was able to use throttle stop to force it to the correct speed. After messing around with it for an hour or so i noticed it was using the wrong...

If this is your only computer and you cant afford to replace parts, do not try to OC. Note no two cpu's or motherboards are the same so one setting used in a video may not work on your system. But if your really have your heart set on Overclocking i would start with some of these Youtube...

Ive built 7 computers at work using the NZXT H5 Flow black is out of stock but they have a white one. Very easy case to build in and plenty of room for cable management, used a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE with tons of room between it and the side glass.

Is everything working correctly with the lower timings? If so leave them, if your ram can run at 8400MTs with the lower timings that even better. By trying to raise your ram timings from 40-42-42-90 to 40-52-52-134 your actually slowing the ram down.

You can use FreeFileSync, it will copy everything over and later only copy new data that has been added or modified on the drive.

Use these a lot at work and do great, usb to ethernet StarTech

How are you going to install a driver that was released before the card was even sold. Driver 566.36 has no idea the 5000 series even exists. 566.36 The highest series that driver supports is the GeForce RTX 40 series

The oldest driver for the 5090 is 572.16, any driver older then that probably has no knowledge of the 5090 even existing. 572.16 was released on Jan 30, 2025 the same day as the 5090. There was probably some early drivers sent out to reviewers/testers but the first official driver for the...
