Found The Fix/Solution! It was all just a bunch of bad luck events on my end... 1) MY Overclock was unstable, that's what was causing the crashes in FIFA 21 with no error message. I followed der8auer 's OC guide, but due to me having a z370 instead of a z390, I thought was causing me to only...

Not what. I am saying. Ignore my comments on OC stability and XMP. Most Games using the DX12 API or are made using the cryengine run terrible. Those games stop acting up when I do either of these steps: 1)Set VSync to Fast Mode from the nvidia control Panel.(Cryengine games are at only...

MAJOR UPDATE: I am 100% Certain it's not an OC issue/Temperature Issue/PSU Issue/Hardware Issue, Ignore my rants about reseting CMOS Etc. that's all old news. Even when turning off the OC, games like Crysis still bug out and underperform or underutilize my GPU.(only 30-40% usage, regardless of...

Also if this was a vrm weakness, shouldnt that show up the more i use my system, the more unstable it gets after being stressed for longs periods of time? My issue is instantaneous with soecific software..

Hmm, I doubt that's my issue. Its a medium to high end z370 motherboard. Bought it 190 Euros. There were at least 3 cheaper z370 models from msi boards. Half the games run fine, benchmarks are fine and stable. Every unstable game, is unstable under DX12 and if the game allows me to change the...

3 Years old, Platinum EVGA 650Watt Supernova P2, with 10 year wararnty.

What do you mean by that? By default it's at 4.3Ghz, if I play with it, I can increase it up to 4.7GHz with no issues, but to ease my mind I had it running at 4.6Ghz and now I have left it to auto, which is back down to 4.3GHz

I mean yeah, the temps are fine and in order to swap out my old i5 8600k to the new 9700k I have to put thermal paste. No, I played with it, but ended up leaving it to default. My OC only blue screened when the voltage was below 1.315 Vcore @4.9GHz, so I ended up with 1.325-1.330 fixxed Vcore...

Yes Yes Yes

Hello Everyone, I thought upgrading a CPU was supposed to be smooth and clean sailing, no format required etc and while that's true for the most part, there has been a few issues I encountered with my upgrade. First of, here is my RIG: CPU: i7 9700k CPU Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 4 with MX-4...

I used to have the same issue with an older DDR3 rig of mine with an i5 760. What happened was, my MOBO slot was not working. Why? Most likely because of my old CPU, that was constantly overheating (85°+) when gaming. I had just replaced my stock cooler with an Evo H212, but it was apparently...

I see you have an intel CPU. A well-known intel technology is called intel Turbo Technology. What it does, is that if it sees an App that is mostly using 1 of your 4 cores, it'll increase the frequency/voltage on that 1 core automatically and decrease the voltage/frequency on the other cores...

This motherboard won't support dual channel mode for my memory and the other 2 RAM slots aren't working as mobo gets stuck in endless loop when i try to boot it when the RAM is placed on them. Steps i took: 1) Bought the MOBO with 1 x8gb Corsair 2666MHz RAM (that wasn't officially supported...
