You need to give more details than that. What is your motherboard (brand and model)? What are the drives exactly (brand, model and capacities for both source and target)? How are they connected (are you using a usb enclosure or are they both connected directly to the motherboard)? Details are...

A faulty PSU wouldn't make your lights flickering. The problem is with the house electricity distribution system. When you play a game, you probably draw more power than any other appliances in the house and it triggers the electrical problem. You need an electrician.

Yes it's a wonderful card. If Nvidia priced it better at launch it would have likely been their biggest hit ever. But they got greedy and now everybody hates this card despite being one of the bests ever made. I personally never regretted the 1300$ I spent on my MSI 4080 Gaming X Trio. Those...

The article mentions that it's people who bought online but returned the card at their local store (you can do that with Walmart). So the store just put on sale in their return section. So if nobody ever walked in to your local store to return a PC part you won't see any.

Are you sure you didn't disconnect a front panel power cable on the mobo? Those tiny cables are very easy to disconnect when you work on the motherboard and the PC won't do anything when you press the power button if it's not correctly connected.

You would likely have better stability with CPU overclocking and faster RAM with the X870. But it really depends how far you want to go with that. In real life situation you are not going see much difference though. Overclocking might give you 3-4% improvement, nothing that will astonish you...

What does this even mean? They all matter, especially if you need multiple drives. There are 5x M.2 slots on the Strix X870E-E and only one shares lanes with the GPU, so I avoid putting any drive on this one, but all the four others are fine. And if you are talking about this lanes-to-cpu vs...

The mouse is the transmitter while the usb dongle is the receiver (a mouse doesn't receive anything beside some configuration settings, it sends a signal to the computer) and the headset is a receiver. So unless your mouse is powerful enough to create interferences between your headset and its...

Glad to read that!

No problem! Have fun with this wonderful game!

Older? Lesser? They are all from the same generation, only a few months apart. And the 9800X3D is still the king for gaming, not sure why you call it "lesser" (unless you are talking about productivity but hey, it's an 8-core CPU so no surprises here). And as Jarred pointed out to you, the...

You can try MSI Afterburner too. Install it and in the settings, go to the "Fan" tab and click on "Use Firmware Control Mode". Then set the fan curve, click on apply and see if it changes your fan speed.

I've never done that either with a GPU and it doesn't look like Gigabyte makes it easy to find. But it's always risky to do that and I would really first try to either remove the profile with the Gigabyte app or override it with MSI Afterburner. About the RGB, it's always like that. Most...

I don't know the Gigabyte software but sometimes, those programs write the profile directly to the card's firmware. I did that with MSI Afterburner (on purpose) so I don't need to have it running in background to have my custom fan curve active. If the Gigabyte software did that I guess you...

Seriously? I don't want to be mean but if you can't enjoy the game because of this then maybe video games are not for you. And I'm pretty sure it's an effect added by the devs to make it look like some sort of static-like distortions from V's cyber-vision. And even if it wasn't, it's not like...
