what's the rest of your system? x299 is good if you have SLI / Crossfire because of the extra pci lanes, but going the other way would be cheaper. 9900KS is an absolute beast and it's cheaper.

At this point, I would return it, but since you don't have the paperwork, that might prove difficult. Have you noticed the PSU getting warm? It could be that the extra load is either causing more heat, which in turn causes the smell, or the worst-case scenario is that there's an imperfect...

considering it started after you've added an increased load, it makes sense that it would be coil whine. that being said, I've had some noise-related issues with my old PSU and it turned out to be the fan which was causing it. In your case, I think it is coil whine, but the timing is a bit odd...

THANK YOU!!!!

I've been having a similar issue as you for the past 2 days. Samsung Magician was not picking up my 860 EVO. After a few good hours of trying to install drivers and deleting volumes and formatting the drive, I managed to get it going by going into "storage spaces" in windows, deleting the...

I use google drive to back up anything important, their subscription isn't too expensive. Alternatively, if you have the funds, a NAS would be the best solution.

Other than one of the external gpu enclosures, I don't know of another way you could do that.

Your GPU is bottlenecking your system. The CPU is performing well over the capabilities of the graphics card.

Your voltage isn't high anyway, but if you want to undervolt, set your vcore to manual (and possibly disable any dynamic frequency/voltage options like speedstep) and type in your desired voltage. Be mindful of the fact that you cannot make big jumps in voltage, so it will take some trial and...

Some people have reported that to be the cause. I don't know how/why it happens, but if it is related, turning it off might be the way to go.

you will need an i5 at least if you're interested in gaming (and that is well over the £100). i3 is not a good choice. I'd say 2600X or 2600 like theoneandonlyfoohyking suggested.

dude, I wouldn't worry about what it said on the benchmark. run a few games and then check online for performance on the same hardware. if you have 10+ fps lower than what other people have on the same config, then start worrying. just out of curiosity, I ran the test myself and it said my RTX...

I was thinking the same thing, but he said he changed the AIO. I doubt anyone would make the same mistake 2 times in a row.

have you OC'd your CPU and have XMP enabled? I believe most of the top scores on all benchmark sites are overclocked results.

shot in the dark, but try to disable XMP (if it's on) and see if that helps.
