It's more likely the modem would stop working due to a change on the ISP's backend and now the modems config doesn't not comply. If you plug a computer directly into the modem where the router was plugged in (bypass router) and still no internet then you should call the ISP and ask them what's...

You should be able to extend the volume in windows disks management. Are you sure you booted from your cloned HDD?

It's usually due to unstable OC on CPU/GPU, bad graphics card ram or a driver issue.

Depends on how you define insignificant, 2-5C idle is good enough for me to configure my rig is such way for no added cost. I haven't looked into it anywhere near as much as you have but I ask again, why not. Modding and OC'ing is a hobby for most and this user is trying to crank out more with...

First you should ensure the effectiveness of the setup by running some games get those temps up and put your hand on the rad and water block. If both are too hot to touch then you know your cooler is installed correctly onto the CPU and the fan is insufficient. Idle should be 25-40ish and load...

Maybe true but you want good water flow more importantly. This has been a topic of discussion for years and it goes both ways. I've never read a post anywhere with scientific backing, no bias and large sample size but many people seems to disagree. Read here...

Np glad to help. So the waterblock you have is an Apogee XL2 series with the specification of Enthusiast grade 5/8” OD (3/8" ID) tubing. You're using 1/2" OD and probably too small ID tubing and possibly creating a bottleneck. You have too much air in the loop if you can hear the chugging...

Idle depends on room temp largely, is your place hot inside? How's your fan setup, did you attach them in a way that makes sense? If the rad is top mounted you need to use a case with a top vent. Do not top mount without top vent. If mounted on the front of the case then push the air...

Not all generations of CPU run as cool or hot. The new CPU i series and particularly the new ones run much much cooler innately. My old Q9550 ran pretty close to 40C on the stock cooler/stock BIOS settings but that was many years ago and I don't remember the specifics like room temp or case setup.

Custom loops typically outperform prebuilt kits but the magic is the waterblock, it should be your first priority and you did not even list it. Also you should list your flow order. My old comp still running and OCed by 40% is using a 6 year old swifttech loop with apogee block/G14 1/2"...

Good to hear the PSU stopped the reboots, now you probably have a software issue. To isolate any issues, I'd do this in order: download latest geforce drivers, remove any CPU/GPU OC'ing software/tools/utilities. Then power off PC, remove 980ti, clean it, replace thermal paste, plug into PCIe...

Did you upgrade your BOIS because it was needed to support your CPU? Can you revert your BIOS? You should do your troubleshooting on default bios settings, no OC (auto not manual). I'd revert BIOS level, use default settings, reinstall windows and run a p95 blend test. If it doesn't pass...

A batch(.bat) file can do a lot more than put malware on your computer. You can effectively configure your whole computer through batch commands. You may need to reinstall windows as you most likely have some lurking problems. Never run a .bat file unless you know exactly what you're doing...

Did you check device manager and check you got all the drivers? How about the mobo inf update? WHEA is definitely a driver problem. Is windows freshly installed once all the hardware/bios level is set?

84C for the CPU is melting hot! If it shuts down after a while then it's probably heat (computer shuts itself down if CPU exceeds certain temp). Liquid Cooler should keep your CPU at idle around 30-40 and 60-70 under full prime95 load. Put your hand on the CPU tubes you should feel a the...
