Brand new 3070 (ZOTAC RTX 3070 TWIN EDGE) that I managed to bag at MSRP last week and I noticed that one of the fans (GPU Fan 2) sometimes shows an insane spike in RPM. It shoots up into the millions! My PC is still on the ground so it's obviously not spinning that fast and I've tried HWINFO and...

I was looking at this case but it only seems to have 2x 3.5" storage bays, while I have 3 HDDs and 1 SSD. It also has 1 USB A on the front while I regularly use both on my current cabinet. Instead of buying and managing accessories for the case, I managed to find the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh...

Hi, I'm currently looking for a new cabinet within the 80-100USD (5000-8000INR) price range. My current cabinet is the Corsair Carbide Spec-02 which I've used for 5+ years and I'm tired of getting my fingers bruised trying to connect the CPU power cable or screwing in the motherboard! I...

Hi, so I unscrewed the casing and opened up my fans and cleaned it all up. There was quite a bit of dust buildup. After cleaning, the temps have gone down to 63-67c when capping frames (60-80% usage) whereas leaving the frames uncapped, the gpu touches the 70c mark. That's a solid 7-8c...

I currently own a ASUS GTX 1060 6GB Strix GPU which is over 3 years old and for the last couple days, my in-game temps have suddenly increased by 10c despite not changing anything. The in-game temps (no changes in settings) now stay around 70-75c at 100% fan speed whereas previously they'd stay...

Hi, I used the slightly taller white spacers (which are meant to be used for AM2(+)/AM3(+)/FM1/FM2 sockets) and the heatsink screwed in quite easily. With the grey spacers, I tried applying a lot of pressure but it still wouldn't catch the brackets. If I applied pressure to try and catch one...

Hi, I've seen quite a lot of the installation videos and in each video the screws connect with the bracket quite easily. What I've noticed is the heatsink won't screw in when I use the grey spacers that the manual tells me to use for AM4 sockets. However when I use the white spacers which the...

I purchased a Noctua NH-U12s black for my Ryzen 5 3600 but the spring screws won't tighten. I've used the grey spacers and the correct am4 brackets but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated thanks! Motherboard - MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX CPU- AMD Ryzen 5 3600...

Hi, this is my reliability history. 14:33 is around the time when I started my PC today. It shows the audio and graphics drivers were successfully installed at that time and if I look at the previous days when I remember this happening, it also shows 'successful driver installation': View...

Recently I've been facing an issue. When I boot my PC up and log in to Windows, my PC seems to take some time to recognize the GPU Drivers and software like HWM and Afterburner fail to detect a GPU. After a couple of minutes, my screen goes black for a couple of seconds and then everything goes...
