I guess I should be more clear about what i'm asking. Would there by anything here that would be causing frame rate swinging and under performance?

I just recently upgraded from a GTX 1060 to a GTX 1080 strix oc, and i'm having a strange issue. On initial load in to games/ benchmarks my framerate swings from very low (on initial load) to a stable high. I think that the stutter that I am experiencing is related to fps swing but I just wanted...

Thanks im glad to hear it

Why wouldn't it be good to go if I was running a graphics card? I have a http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007A44T42/ref=oh_details_o03_s02_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 that's compatible right? its a pci express just like the slot in my card Anyways can I do this on a 430 because Id like to avoid...

I think they are, but I just want to make sure before I order, amazon is getting mad at all my returns lol. If they are compatible, what voltage power supply do u recommend? I have a 430w currently http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SZ0E1K/ref=gno_cart_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER...

I built this pc off of this guys video actually, I just posted asking other people if they have had the same problems, no response yet, you can find all the parts in the video discription. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f6INgYBmGo

corsair 430w http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026 I just talked to a repair guy on the phone, he wants 90 bucks and I have the worst feeling he wont actually be able to do anything because most repair shops fix really trivial stuff like the therm paste ect.

The temperatures are bad, AMD clarified this when I talked to them they said it was too high. The only thing new I have found out is my cpu is an apu and it is directly supported by my motherboard so there shouldn't be any issues My management is good everything is very neat and wired...

I am using Arctic silver Ceramique2, I also tried the therm paste that came with the heat sink I just bot, same results. I'm looking for page that tells me the temps my card should be at. I just maxed everything out graphically on Continent of the 9th seal for 10 minutes at over 80c and I didn't...

I talked to amazon and returned the motherboard and cpu to exchange for new ones even though they are probably going to ban me from service now, once I get them ill let you guys know (ot: you know they ban you for returning 3 items? I had a customer service rep tell me this directly) Anyways...

Another wierd thing I noticed is that when its idle and I open a file, for example click on a google chrome my temperature will rise up 15 - 20c within a second, maybe even less. within another 4 seconds of inactivity it goes back down to where it was. I am not sure if temperature fluctuation...

I thought it might be the thermal paste so I went and bought some ceramique 2 by Arctic Silver. No good, still idleing at 50 I applied and tested the paste three or four different times with a pea sized drop, but not too much. When that didn't work I figured it could be the airflow through the...

Thank you real beast and hbazz for a quick reply. the cooler is the one that came with the cpu. The thermal paste was pre applied when I put the heatsinc on so I did not put any on. I would run prime95 but I am hesitant to do that with the current temperatures.

I know its pathetic to beg for help but I just built this and I am really desperate for an accurate answer because I cant just guess the issue, throw money at it and hope it works. Anyways, my first post here after lingering around the tomshardware community reading post for years! Anyways, I...
