I might just stick to the motherboard option. I will be sure to try SpeedFan. Thanks so much!

Thanks! It wasn't passive prior to the old fan dying, it was actually a blower style (would consistently hit temp limit 82c past 80% load) but I took it off and kept the heatsinks. I hope the heatsinks will work well. Should I upgrade to a 120mm fan, or is the 92mm good enough? Also, should I...

The card has no warranty and I am fine with doing anything to it, I would just like to see if I could get it running as a spare. If I wanted it repaired, I'd have to send back the whole system (though most of the parts were repurposed 2 years ago). I am mostly asking if it would be possible to...

A few months back, I had a proprietary Acer 1060 6GB from a prebuilt die on me. The card boots up, but the cooler doesn't work. How can I cool this card? (The 1060 6GB) I also have a Noctua NF-B9 redux-1600 92mm fan that I can possible use? Would this fan be able to work well enough with the...

I have tried a new reader and haven't had any problems, but my windows explorer does feel slow. I don't know if I am being paranoid or not.

i7-8700 GTX 1660S WD Blue SN550 B365M mobo Corsair Vengeance RGB 2x8 (with 2 light enhancements) CX650F RGB I have never had any problems of freezing / crashing before, but when I plug in my USB Card Reader from Rocketek...

Should I bother with the return re-purchase process? Should my CXF be fine, and I plug in the old... 745...? I just dont want to risk any data loss.

The ports randomly turned off and along with that smell, I doubt the cooling is the only issue. I probably don't even have the patience to attach something that precisely but further down the line it can make for a cool experiment Also, if my PSU killed my GPU, wouldn't the PSU die with it? You...

I'll just bid farewell to my current GPU and hope that my iGPU can get me by for a few months when the new unit comes in. Any tips incase I do notice strange behaviour after the new PSU?

NOTE: This GPU sometimes gives the motherboard a hard time detecting it, rarely but persistently my EZ-DEBUG will report with the VGA light indicating GPU error, forcing me to restart the computer. I pinpointed this to Fast Startup in Windows, but it did not fix it. I am going to play it safe...

PSU: 650w Corsair CX650F RGB (80+ Bronze) GPU: Acer OEM 1060 6GB (blower style, if you wondered) CPU: i7-8700 MB: B365M PRO-VDH I had some cheap Thermaltake 80+ White PSU unit and I was worried something could happen to my PC from it considering its age/price. I purchased a 650w Corsair...

Post / boot issue happened again. It showed VGA on the EZ-DEBUG, (b365m pro-vdh), indicating a.. GPU error? Also, do you think disabling fast startup would help it? I don't see any "failed to boot" events in event viewer, where should I look? Also, if it helps, the runtime was reset on the CPU...

Okay, I understand. I will do this when I have a bit more free time on my hands. Thank you!

What drivers could it be? And it's not just video output missing, the pc turns right back off with a short click of the power button, not hold. Also, the two times that it happened, it was from a shutdown, not a restart, so you may be correct.

Going to revamp my build soon, along with the PSU, and RAM. Let's hope it doesn't stay. Ill try to put it at the back of my mind and not worry.
