After accidentally spilling some water in my g910, I immediately unplugged it and left if out to dry. To my surprise the keyboard was still functional afterwards, save for one weird thing. At night, and only at night the keyboard randomly performs some input that I typed a while back. It is...

So I installed a custom water block recently and temps were super high and peaked 59C on my 1080ti. I was wondering if I needed to cover the entire gpu with thermal paste, I just drew an X on the dye but I don't think I got every square millemeter. Is it that important that I cover it fully?

CPU will always spike when you load up task manager, nothing to worry about there. As for why the computer is slowing down, I suspect that it's because you've downloaded some malicious software that hides from task manager and is using up either your disk or cpu. If the problem persists, I...

This is very little to go on but plug it in to see if any LEDs light up, if it does then it could be a dead power switch, if not than please go find a professional technician. The fact that it turned off suddenly probably means the internals are dead. :(

Hi folks, I was wondering if I could let the cpu adjust voltage based on load but set an absolute maximum voltage that it can reach. I tried auto and adaptive but the CPU voltage frequently hits 1.4 and above drastically increasing temps. I got a stable 4.8ghz on 1.325V when set to manual. I...

Judging by the games you want to play (other than minecraft), that laptop will do you no good. IMO, if you're gonna spend hundreds of bucks on a gaming laptop you might as well save up for a premium one...

My 7700k cpu overclocked to 4.8ghz at 1.424V is thermal throttling with my really expensive custom water cooling setup. Achieving temps well over 95C. I have 2 radiators and I barely feel any heat output when the processor is under load, unlike my graphics card. I don't believe such high temps...

I am getting several conflicting readings on my cpu temperature. Task manager also shows a different cpu frequency. AIDA64 tells me that my cpu is throttling but motherboard readings only shows cpu at 45 degrees also my core clock isn't going down. The temperature also jumps from 70-100 degrees...

Do not buy a gaming pc at this moment if you have budget in mind. This is due to the ridiculous prices of graphics cards thanks to bitcoin miners buying them all out. Wait a few months later to see if the prices have come down.

I can tell you that you don't really need an unlocked i7 processor for gaming. In fact a last gen i5 6600k will achieve nearly equal results when it comes to fps. You should take the money that you saved from your processor to buy and ssd as your main boot drive, not only does it drastically...
