Its updated already. It got released from factory with the updated bios, compatible with the 3000 series. I have been using the system for quite some time before it died. Could the mobo have performed a "BIOS rollback"? I mean, I only turned the system off at night and at morning it didnt...

I bought these parts and they were running just fine, then suddenly it stopped booting. The led lights from the motherboard turns on normally when the PSU is fed but the system wont start at all. No fans spinning, no beeps, no nothing. CPU is cold as ice. I tested every single component of it in...

The new version of the Afterburner works fine so Im using it back, thanks for helping.

here's: "the screen flickers from time to time, around 7x per minute with the Afterburner running. " Ill give evga's program a try, thanks for the hint

Since I installed it replacing my R9 290X the screen flickers from time to time, around 7x per minute with the Afterburner running. I noticed that its related to the vent controlling feature of the program but it also happens with this feature turned off (some 4x per minute). Im looking for a...

My current VGA seems to have died (R9 290X) and Im looking for a RX 5700 XT due the pre-release price drop, now Im only waiting for the custom models (due the bad refrigeration from the base model and giving nvidia some time to do another move like the one they did few days before the Radeon's...

Thanks for the replies guys, but I still would like to know approximately that mobo does consume in Watts.

I5 7600K oc 5ghz = 150W full load R9 290x pcs+ = 320W full load 2x8GB GSKILL 3000mhz 1.3v = no idea AsRock Z170 Gaming K4 = no idea HDD1 250gb 7200rpm = no idea HDD2 250gb 7200rpm = no idea SSD 120gb = no idea I know theres some online PSU calculators but they generalize too much. My SeaSonic...

There is the mobo's information and the VGA's information... Are they both talking about the same feeder from the PSU? Why such variation from each other? the PSU is a Seasonic S12 II 620W, the VGA is a PowerColor R9 290X PCS+ (I5 7600K stock, gskill 2x8gb 3ghz 15-16-16-35-2N 1,35v) I suspect...

Are there important diferencies between the chipsets? I had a huge problem with my I5 2500K, there was a shortage of motherboard capable of overclocking it.

Thanks for the help, I also found some interesting videos myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7bcjFnLib8 Just to make it clear, When I refered to "upgrade" Im thinking about the whole package; mobo, processor and memories. My VGA is decent enough, its a R290X with factory OC.

I have a I5 2500K that cant be overclocked because theres no motherboards with the needed chipset in my country's market, so Im thinking about an upgrade but I have no idea on how to estimate how better will the new processors to perform compared with my current one. Its impossible to find...

this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131548R&cm_re=290x-_-14-131-548R-_-Product I already bought it btw

Thanks, I just finished the ordering.

Just a last moment checking, before to order it: Will the 620W PSU be really able to power the 290X, i5 2500K, 8gb of ram and 3 HDDs?
