I have this monitor. It is quite good. Looks beautiful. Stand is fantastic as well. My only complaints with it are a sort of hissing at high refresh rates, (not noticible with headphones) and occasional flickering (fixable with flipping the refresh rate down to 60 and back up to 165). Only seems...

Yeah I think imma go with the Scythe Mugen. Thanks to everyone who commented.

Well, to update this for posterity, I think i "fixed it". I disabled most of my startup programs and rebooted. No cpu spikes. Ram usage down to a far more reasonable 3.5gb. After manually starting programs from the list there appears to be a problem (memory leak?) within Razer Synapse. Every...

So I installed a ryzen r5 3600 in my pc yesterday. Unfortunately, I keep getting regular CPU usage spike when doing absolutely nothing with my pc. The culprits appear to be WMI Provider Host and Winmgmt Windows Management Instrumentation. They spike every ~15 seconds, quite regularly, up to ~45%...

I have two case fans. I was mildly surprised but my motherboard only seems to support up to two case fans.

Appreciate the input. My full specs are: CPU: Ryzen R5 3600 Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 Gaming X Ram: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz SSD/HDD: Intel 600p + other drives GPU: Gtx 1080 PSU: Corsair CX 600m Chassis: Corsair Carbide 200R OS: Windows 10 Pro 1903

Title says it. Picked up a new ryzen 5 3600 recently and its running a bit warm on the stock cooler/settings. Hit top temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s Celsius. Not the end of the world but hey I would prefer lower temperatures and I would like to try my hand at overclocking. Anyway, I'm...

So yeah as the title says, I have an i7 2700k I'm trying to overclock. However, whenever I set the multiplier/voltage and related settings to whatever I want in bios, the computer ignores my choices and uses the defaults when the OS launches. Bios will clearly state its set to whatever I set it...

Cheers!

@BARRYV88 Probably reasonably well. I installed BO4 on my laptop today, and i was genuinely surprised to find i could run it with ultra textures (everything else medium or low, mostly medium) and achieve an almost stable 60fps. This is a mobile 1050 2GB we're talking about. My guess is 4GB will...

And yes, what do you mean by 'hot'? In theory it could also be thermal throttling

What is the minimum processor state set to? You could turn it up... That being said, if you're only seeing these lower speeds on the desktop, when you aren't doing anything in particular, I wouldn't worry about it. The cpu is acting how it's been designed to. It's acting like it is to save power.

You're probably running games off your integrated graphics. Sounds like your monitor is plugged into your motherboard. Move the cable to connect to the back of the gpu instead.
