Thanks guys, i found the issue. A real dumb mistake, i must admit. Power settings disable the Nvidia GPU, and scale back the intel integrated graphics and CPU while on battery power, which is how i was running it. Plugged it in, and voila, smooth playback. Thanks for the help guys, but there...

Long story short, I had a warranty replacement on my el cheapo 55" 1080p television from Target here in Australia, but they no longer carried it, so they gave me an el cheapo 55" 4k TV instead as a replacement. I'm not gaming on it, and wasn't really planning on 4k content, but since i have it...

Specific heat intensity is also part of the equation. GPUs heat is spread fairly evenly across their entire chip. CPUs tend to have more pointed locations that produce the heat, which would inflate a required amount of cooling to maintain, vs a more evenly distributed heat source. The density...

the IMC has long been moved to the CPU package, and unfortunately, if your CPU can't handle it, your mobo doesn't really matter when it comes to memory speeds.

Because of their heat signature (larger area for heat produced) liquid cooling for GPU is far more effective for the dollars invested. If you want to OC the GPU, a CLC with the G10 adapter will be a strong part of the process. Not to mention, your CPU, non-OC, will be less likely of a...

Since that gpu is already OC'd pretty heavy out the box, you may not have that much room to overclock it, without increasing voltage. I'm not familiar with the process required to volt mod that GPU, if there is one, so you might just have to stick with what you have.

try holding down the power, home and volume down buttons together. My Tab S occasionally crashes during charging, and this wakes it back up.

What you are describing sounds to me like a bad PSU. They degrade over time, and a signature of their failure is how you describe: starts up, runs fine for a bit, shuts down. Cool Off. Rinse and repeat. Caps and circuitry inside the PSU are heating up, and under higher heat, lose efficiency...

Should also clarify, depending on the Motherboard and power phase quality, throttling can start as early as 10-15c TM. At 0 TM, you will should definitely be expecting throttling or shut down, as the chip is trying to protect itself. On my mATX D3h (with copper heatsinks on the VRMS), at...

Memory speed support is dependent on your Mobo, but iirc, all FM2+ motherboards support at least up to 2133mhz. There have been lots of instances of OCing with 2400 ram causing instability, but usually dropping it to 2133 with XMP/proper stock settings, or even a bit relaxed, have alleviated...

Hey, you, guys, been away a long time, but recently got back into going beyond utilitarian computer usage! I am having some issues, but not sure if there is any solution (as this is old kit, I'm not overly optimistic). This was a computer build of mine that I inherited from a friend a few...

Fan orientation could be a culprit as well. I ran the 965BE C3 at 3.8ghz with a similar cooler, same fans, same voltage, but I instead had it pointed at the rear exhaust fan in my case. I did this only after testing with vertical orientation and a top mount exhaust fan. In both cases, the...

Yup, they paid me out my initial purchase prices on all my parts (had all receipts) and I have that money sitting in an account waiting for BD. Already bought a surge protector/UPS though, hah. NEVER AGAIN.

Only 4+1 phase power delivery. For overclocking purposes, you should look for a board with 6+2 or 8+2 phase power delivery. The VRMs, even with proper cooling, may not be able to keep up with the CPU once overclocked.

While that board has many great features and is decently built, it has one major flaw for OCing, and that is the 4+1 power system. This will limit the stability of the power delivery to the CPU. I owned this board and could benchmark some decent clocks with my 1090t, but only for very short...
