really, like winning a lotto? thats probably why theyre not super common.

maybe try running DDU and install fresh drivers for it? Also maybe try re-pasting the card. It is possible that the previous owner did improper maintenance to it before selling it. He could possibly didnt cover the whole gpu dye with thermal paste, or forgot to place thermal pads on the memory...

i have a thermaltake smart m 650w semi-modular 80+ bronze, and i have no issues with it. (just sayin')

try removing the CMOS battery???

I would upgrade to an i7-7700. GPU might be tough, but you can plan to get a 980ti, 1070 (or higher), 1660ti (or super), 2060super (or higher), or any 3000 series. It depends on your budget and what you can find. Ram is adequate imo, but 32gb is preferable. I would assume that you would need to...

kinda sucks, especially during these times :/

Hi, im looking to upgrade my i5-9400F to an i9-9900, but im not sure if my motherboards VRM can handle the i9. My board is an ASUS ROG B365-G which has VRM heatsinks on them. I mine as a hobby and i tested to see how hot the VRM gets. In HWmonitor TMpin temps were about 45c with an ambient of...

update: i received my drive already, and installed the WD (win10) below the GPU, and the 970evo (linux) above the GPU as before. As for temps, under load both drives are within 2c of each other, having the WD at 68c and the 970evo at 66c. On idle however, theres a 5-6c difference, having the WD...

Im not sure if im understanding this correctly, but there are 2 m.2 slots. One above the first PCIe x16 slot, and one above the second PCIe x16 slot. I dont know what the little one in between is for though. My GPU almost covers the second PCIe x16 slot. Anyway, i dont know how the lanes...

Zotac has a very conservative approach when it comes to fans spooling, i actually almost never hear them kick in. I know that they work because the bearings have gone bad in the fans. Even under load, they will turn on and off intermittently at about 500rpm.

Hi there. I recently got a 500GB 970evo plus as my Linux drive, and today I just bought a 1TB WD Black for my win10 drive. Now here's the problem, my 2nd M.2 slot is directly under the PCIe slot where my thicc graphics card lies. my card completely covers the 2nd slot. so the card will have to...

I cleared the CMOS. wouldn't boot, so I left it off for about 10 min. then it finally booted, so everything is at factory default. Option ROM was set to 'Force BIOS'. There are only 2 options, 'Force BIOS' and 'Keep current'. So which one do I select? edit: I downgraded my BIOS to ver.1823 as...

Ok, so, I did return my motherboard for a warranty claim as well as my CPU, as it wouldnt post (i didnt have any other parts to verify what part crapped out). they said they replaced both the motherboard and CPU, which was nice of them. The first motherboard never had this issue, but the 2nd one...

yes I did that. My linux distro has sometimes successfully mounted the drive, it wouldnt copy or paste files and folders to my backup drive. So I was never concerned about that since its just a software issue.

The drive is detected in the BIOS, and I ran a disk check in Zorin and all is well. I forgot to mention that the important files are all the payware I had for my flight simulator, setting up a sim can take days. Thats why I want to recover the files. All the files are in the C drive. The only...
