    [SOLVED] High temps Gigabyte RTX 2080 TI Aorus Xtreme

    Yeah, still using the Enthoo Pro M, 6 Corsair ML 120s, so the airflow is pretty reasonable. Finally managed to get the temperatures down by undervolting it, 72c while gaming, 76c in Furmark, with no performance loss. Thanks for the advice, once the warranty has run out in 2 years, I'll have a...

From the start, I bought my pc about 8 months ago, it ran well but I wanted to get a bit more of a bang from it so I went from a gtx 960 to a gtx 970 and upgraded my psu to an XFX TS 650w 80+ gold. Everyone...

It's fainter than it was a few days ago and doesn't smell at all like electrical burning, even had 2 people stick their noses right next to the GPU as well...

    Odd smell coming from PC after upgrading GPU

    Two days ago I upgraded my GTX 970 to an MSI GTX 1070 gaming X and the PC is giving off an odd smell. I thought it could be the PSU but no smell from it and it's a 1 year old XFX TS 650 gold which from what I know is a pretty decent one. I also upgraded the CPU to an i7 4790 at the same time...
