I'm changing my motherboard and CPU soon and wondering which way to re-install windows is the best option. The motherboard is a new brand, along with my CPU which I'm going from LGA 1200 to LGA 1700. I've seen two ways to re-install windows. First way is by using windows installation media tool...

I haven't decided between Intel and AMD, that's a whole other problem I have to tackle. Currently leaning toward AMD due to never using it and just want to try it out. I appreciate you pointing out Z series motherboards for Intel because I've been looking at those series based on their...

I'm planning on upgrading my CPU and motherboard and wondering if the motherboard matters when it comes to overclocking my CPU. I know all about which CPU's are unlocked for overclocking, but I didn't know if the motherboards were very important as well. I know there's motherboards specifically...

In the next month, I'm planning to change from an Intel CPU to an AMD CPU and obviously motherboard. I've heard that when changing CPU brands, it can mess with your Windows and cause bluescreen if not done correctly. It sounded like I have to change my Windows and delete intel drivers and get...

Those answered my question exactly, thank you!

I just bought Asiahorse extension cables and my motherboard allows 8+4 pin EPS but the extension is 8 and 8 pin. Can I plug in all 8 to extension for the 4 pin and just leave the other 4 pin sitting unplugged? Or should I only plug in 4 pin to extension and leave the 4 pin extension unplugged?

Ok that’s great, I’m glad to hear that this isn’t going to really be a problem and I’ll try overriding the TDP limit and play around with it to see what I can do, thank you!

Specs: i7-10700 (Base Settings-didn't change anything in bios with it), EVGA 3080, ASUSTeK PRIME Z490-V, 32GB Corsair Ven. Ram 3200 (XMP is enabled), EVGA 1000W PSU, Corsair AIO, and 2 1Tb M.2 WB SSD. I didn't know if I used all my cores if it would help, just worried because I know my CPU...

I currently have an i7-10700 paired with an EVGA 3080. When I was playing Ghost Recon Wildlands, my GPU was running at 98% while my CPU was using 70%. My frames are 70 which I feel isn’t the highest for an older game and new GPU.

Thank you @Wolfshadw, your information is very helpful. After checking out CableMods website, I see they ask you all about your PSU. SID currently I have an 1000W EVGA 80+ Gold (don’t know exact) with a Corsair 4000D airflow

I’m currently getting asiahorse cable extensions mainly for my EPS cable because it wouldn’t reach with my case. Tell me if wrong but I know extensions don’t matter what type of PSU I use. In the upcoming future, I plan to change to a fully modular PSU and get custom cables instead of using...

I've notice that my CPU utilization will spike to like 20% max randomly and pc gets loud. That's not a concern right?

I changed both to 200W and ran a stress test. It doesn't Power Limit Throttle anymore! Thank you guys so much! I'm assuming that my pc is louder because of the CPU running higher wattage right?

Is ThrottleStop an application or in bios? And does it unlock everything or something else?

Okay so I understand what your both saying final (hopefully). I should set my PL1 & PL2 to 200W and it will be okay. I looked at my BIOS and they were set to Auto, but the PL2 was already set to 224W, where PL1 is at 65W. But what I don't get is that it won't let me tweak them, they won't change...
