    [SOLVED] Bad CPU/GPU usage in Assassin's Creed Odyssey

    I'm having the exact same issue. I've been in contact with XFX and they emailed me some troubleshooting steps that I had already tried unsuccessfully. I have an Acer XF270H 1080P 144hz monitor and if I change my resolution to 4K my GPU runs at 99% in every game with obviously low fps. When I...

    Question trouble overclocking 9600k

    I'm running my 9600k at 5ghz @ 1.3 volts. Part of overclocking is finding the lowest stable voltage your chip can handle and most 9600k can run well under 1.4. I would definitely find where your floor is.

    [SOLVED] Unable to overclock 9900k to 4.8

    Are you using Prime95 for stress testing exclusively? I have spent the last week trying to get a stable overclock and was about to exchange my 9600k because it fails small fft on the same core every single run within seconds.
