Thank you for the ideas, I never thought about bios being the issue as I have never updated it. Could be windows that auto updated it lmao. I'll look into everything you said and mark your comment if it solves my problem!

I have thought of that but considering I primarily use it on flat hard surfaces and if I cant be on one i try to keep it above the surface so that minimal dust gets in, I don't think i need to. Also the vents collect most of the dust and when I do check them they usually don't have much dust so...

Hi, my relatively new laptop is thermal throttling. It is a Lenovo Legion Y545 and I recently started noticing fps drops in games so I started looking into my CPU temps. They were around 70C at around idle but when I launched anything demanding it would go to about 90 maximum and stabilized at...

The system you have is pretty good but could have been better if you could have gone for ryzen and just got 8gbs of ddr4, and then later added another 8 gbs.

Also the gameplay is recorded at the resolution of the monitor and things like color accuracy will not get transferred on to the recording as it's not literally recording the screen.

Make sure free-sync is enabled if that doesn't fix it then make sure you have v-sync enabled otherwise try disabling v-sync.

The i5-8600k will give you a better price to performance ratio, but if you want the latest of the latest tech then go for the i5-9600k.

Definitely, you will have a large performance increase.

There will be any bottlenecking even if you get the RTX 1070 as your CPU is an i7.

No, your GPU will run at, basically peak performance (even if you OC).

With the CPU you have, an RX 580 will go well with it you could go a tad higher even if you want.

If you are experienced in the computers (meaning you put at least 1 or more together and know how most things work and know the dangers of liquid metal) then yes. Otherwise, it's a maybe, because there are a lot of things that can go wrong if you aren't careful,(such as static killing your...

I would say the ML240R would be a better choice as it has a quieter pump but it does have a tiny bit lower air pressure and airflow (but that shouldn't affect performance at all)and it has a 2-year warranty. Idk about the Gammaxx L240 warranty as it isn't listed in their specs. Also Cooler...

Gigabyte will provide better cooling as it water cools everything instead of only the core being cooled. Also, the water cooling on the GPU VRMsl allow you to get higher clocks if you are planning to OC (even tho the RTX series cards are horrible at it)

So my VRMs get really hot during gaming. I used a multimeter as my motherboard (Asus M5A78l-M Plus) doesn't have onboard VRM temperature sensors I launched Cinebench R15 Extreme and put my multimeter temperature diode, the highest temperature I reached was 90 celsius. Also keep in mind that I...
