(Posting for a friend) I have a Radeon RX Vega 56 that is causing specific titles/programs to crash, namely Hearthstone. It behaves (sometimes) in most other games, though. I suspect it's a driver issue, but even after reinstalling, DDU'ing, and rolling back, the issue persists. Any ideas...

Just went to change the cooler and the waterblock pulled out the cpu with it. I'm never using this thing again.

I have found a temporary solution. I HEAVILY underclocked the cpu (4 ghz to 3.2ghz). At idle I'm now at 55 Celsius, at full load playing destiny 2 at max settings i'm at 70 Celsius. I am beginning to suspect the cooler I got just straight up doesn't work properly anymore, as despite showing a...

In BIOS the aio pump is showing a value of 2100-2200 (slowly goes up and down a little). AIO hoses are oriented with the pump as low in the loop as possible (case only supports front mounting).

I changed out the thermal paste for a higher quality one and double-triple checked it was mounted correctly. I even tried flipping the radiator. Temps are the same. Is there a way to underclock the cpu? I'm literally just trying to play League here, not asking for much power. Motherboard is an...

It's probably one of three things, 1. Faulty drivers (use DDU to reinstall them) 2. So if you put those two RAM sticks into the CORRECT slots, it doesn't boot? Get some other ram to put in there and see if it's really the RAM, or if your Motherboard is dying. 3. Bottlenecking. Your CPU is a bit...

You probably would want a 2070 or 3060 if you're looking NVIDIA.

HDMI yes, DVI, not really.

Hello! I often use NVIDIA's Shadowplay program to save clips when I'm gaming with friends. When I bring up the overlay prior to starting a game, it gives me the option to pick my resolution and framerate. 1440P and 2160P are available, but I don't have a very high-end monitor (1920x1080, 60 hz)...

PC services in my area are expensive as hell because there are so few of them. I know HOW to flash the BIOS but was hoping I'd be able to snag a 2nd gen ryzen cpu from a friend. Hopefully it'll just come with a fairly recent BIOS, since according to ASUS's list of updates this specific board has...

How would I go about updating the BIOS if this board comes out of the box incompatible without dropping another 100$ on a technician or a new cpu

Hello! I am currently waiting for this MOBO to arrive https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-b450-f-gaming/p/N82E16813119140?Item=N82E16813119140&utm_medium=TraEmail&utm_source=TEMC-New-Order-Confirmation-USA&cm_mmc=TEMC-New-Order-Confirmation-USA-_-N82E16813119140 And I'm pairing with a ryzen...

I ended up grabbing a TUF w/ a 450 chipset as this PC is gonna be used in a dorm (friend's build). Thanks for the chipset reccomendation!

The fx-8350 would bottleneck a bit, but as long as you don't go crazy on CPU-heavy titles then this would be an EXCELLENT budget-friendly upgrade. I'd reccomend going with evga's or MSI's 1050 ti's though, since most are overclocked.
