Thanks, Dooktar. But, today I plugged the card into a different system, in which a discrete graphics card had never been installed at all. No success. Fans start going crazy during POST and I get stuck in an infinite BIOS loop. Currently I am waiting for Gigabyte's permission to update GPU...

Greetings! I've been running Gigabyte AORUS RX580 8GB for a little over a year without any issues. Today, an hour or so after a forced Windows 10 update (most likely unrelated, but I thought I'd mention that in case this recent update was particularly wonky and someone here in the know already)...

Thank you! I found a shortish DVI to HDMI cable. Worked like a charm.

Thank you very much, guys. Yeah, I figured the port was dead, but was still hoping there could be some compatibility/driver issue and nothing hardware related. Though it was mostly wishful thinking on my part. :p So if I understand correctly, my best option is connecting the monitor to Radeon...

Greeting everyone. For a long time I had the following setup: My main monitor connected via HDMI to the discrete graphics card ( RX580); My secondary (very old) monitor connected to onboard graphics ( Intel HD Graphics 4600 ) via VGA; TV connected to the same onboard graphics via HDMI; It...

Thanks for your lengthy reply Wonderon! I agree that the model is great and overall it's been an excellent machine ever since. As I mentioned, a friend of ours (experienced computer tech) opened and re-pasted everything a while back, however, it only helped for a week. I will definitely not be...

Nothing?

It's integrated GPU that gets crazy hot so obviously it affects the CPU. I can't disable it because of the Nvidia Optimus horror - if only I could! And no, it's not fine to have 70C degrees idle CPU. Especially if on some days it's much cooler than on others while ambient temps don't change...

Hi guys! My wife's old yet still very capable laptop has been giving us hard time for the last couple of years. We tried to tackle this issue in the past but with little to no success. About two years after its purchase it started randomly overheat. With randomly being the keyword. Most of...

Sorry for sort of abandoning the thread. More pressing issues came up. I am still looking for that mic without much luck, but I did pick up the HD201 headphones for about 30 bucks - only nameless Chinese crap ones were cheaper. So far I am beyond impressed with the sound quality. I know I am not...

And I wouldn't bet my life on them, but when several different programs show the same consistent results you know something weird is going on.

I'm starting to think there's some compatibility issue on software level. While booting from HDD (Win 10) the temps of the SSD are between 26-49C (idle to stress). Which is absolutely normal. Booted from SSD again and they are fluctuating rapidly between 16 and 25C as if there was a built in...

I used several programs to rule out incorrect readings. I wonder if reinstalling the drive will fix this weirdness. Maybe a different SATA power plug? I am not worried enough to RMA it, but I do prefer my stuff to be in check. Lol...

Yeah, the case is nice. I only have few issues with it. First, a single fan. It's not expensive, I get it. But even junk Antec cases come with 2-3 fans nowadays. The weirdest part is the mesh on the top panel though - no fans, no filters (not even the cheap ones you can buy on ebay for pennies)...

Hi all! I just installed a new ADATA SP550 Premier SSD with a fresh new Win 7. It's super fast and works just fine but I noticed something weird, something I've never encountered before. The temps of the drive are averaging at 18-19C and reached the absolute low of 14C at one point. During...
