    [SOLVED] Help buying a prebuilt gaming PC with a £2500 budget ?

    It seems the link leads to a new build, not what I added, but here are the new specs. If you want a higher end motherboard, probably the (ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus WiFi) (X570 allows for full PCIe 4.0 support) Now. the thing is that you would have to buy more fans from somewhere else, because in...

    [SOLVED] Help buying a prebuilt gaming PC with a £2500 budget ?

    Just providing an input based on earlier replies that I see, I am currently running a 1440p system with a 5900x and a 3080 Ti. I wouldn’t call it overkill, because I can very easily reach 200-240 FPS with graphics on high-ultra. If I decide to switch to 4K, I’m going to be able to run a decent...

    [SOLVED] Is the 3070 enough for 2K gaming ?

    The TI versions are not worth an extra $300, but furthermore, those prices are crazy. I would wait until prices dial down. Check a local hardware store, if possible, a Micro Center (I myself got a 3080 TI for $1.4K there.) The 3070 is perfect for high frame rate 1080p or about average frame rate...

    Looks amazing! I can imagine thermals being high, but it seems you handled it! Cheers!

    [SOLVED] 5900x idling in Chrome at 5% load with temps around 50.

    I was just wondering why it randomly shoots up to 70. This shouldn't happen when closing an application, I assume.

    [SOLVED] 5900x idling in Chrome at 5% load with temps around 50.

    On HWinfo, it says my temps are on average 35-40. Core 6, however, is sitting at 50c. And when I closed an application, it immediately shot up to 70.2c. It seems like this is the troublesome one. How can I fix this? Also, most of my cores are sitting at 3,675 MHz and are randomly shooting up to...

    [SOLVED] 5900x idling in Chrome at 5% load with temps around 50.

    RYZEN MASTER IS SHOWING 40-50 degrees. Online, it says I should be getting about 35-40 degrees in RYZEN MASTER. What's wrong? It also just jumped to 70 degrees for 2 sec when I was writing this. Maybe, I need to apply it again with diff thermal paste? I used pre-applied one from the z73.

    [SOLVED] 5900x idling in Chrome at 5% load with temps around 50.

    I believe my BIOS version is 3401 and the latest is 3801. Unsure on how to update the BIOS though… I’ll run the tests tomorrow and post results. The temps are of CPU Package.

    [SOLVED] 5900x idling in Chrome at 5% load with temps around 50.

    My temps shoot up to mid 50s when I set all fans to max speed.

    [SOLVED] 5900x idling in Chrome at 5% load with temps around 50.

    Stock settings in BIOS as well as in all software. I'm just in Chrome and in Task Manager, it says 5% load. It also shows up my anti virus software and CAM. The thing is, the temps are sitting at 50-60 degrees. I have a Z73 with stock thermal paste. Specs: 5900X ASUS Crosshair VIII Dark Hero...

    What do you plan to do with this system?

    Question Should I upgrade my rig or plan to build a new one?

    Depends if you want AMD or Intel. And what’s your budget? I would go with AMD if you plan to do other things or run different things in the background.

    Hm I see. The 11400 seems like a decent choice. Keying it into PCPartsPicker….

    Question Should I upgrade my rig or plan to build a new one?

    May I ask why you want to do micro itx? If it's for cost purposes, that can be resolved.

    Question Should I upgrade my rig or plan to build a new one?

    I have the same FTW3 Ultra 3080 Ti. It's a beast of a card. Great thermals, amazing performance. MSRP is $1400. I snagged it from a Micro Center, so that would be preferable considering it is at MSRP. but yes, that is the last part you should be worrying about. After the other parts have been...
