Your temps are ok? you say you have tried unplugging every component. So I assume you have reseated your video card & ram and any other PCI cards you might have installed. How long has this problem been occurring and when did it start? I am not sure if this a new build or a system you had...

I listened to your video, to me that sounds like a cable touching the fan. I had the same thing when I put in my second gpu idling I didn't notice it but under load the fan ramps up and same sound. After a closer inspection I found a plastic name tag on one of the internal usb cables that went...

Yeah Thermal paste can be tricky to get just the right amount on, not too much or little. I normally stick with the stock coolers so I don't have to fiddle with it (fan noise doesn't bother me). Having a look at how little thermal paste is on the stock coolers gives some idea of how little is...

I am using a Dvi-D dual link cable with crossfire. Are you referring to an Active mini dp to dual link DVI? If I shutdown and disconnect one of the display port connected monitors i can get both the dvi and dp connected screens set at 144hz, If I connect the 3rd monitor via dp live (shutting...

What do you need to overclock that for? Are you using it for games or something else? If its for games that CPU at stock speeds is more then enough to to do the job if not a bit overkill (I am running i5-3570K 3.40Ghz at stock and handling games like BF4 quite well), I would only suggest...

for the CPU that range is safe under load, I would not be worried unless you constantly get over 80, so if you get max 70 maybe occasionally 75 you can relax that's not going to cause any problems. Your GPU is running a low temp under load imo nothing to worry about there either. Really they...

Hi all, hoping someone can help here. I have 3xBenQ XL2720Z 27" 144hz monitors, connected to Asus DirectCuII HD7870 in crossfire. Cable connections are: Dvi-D to Dvi-D, 2xmini dp to dp Eyefinity works, crossfire works but i'm stuck at 60hz. Now after a lot of reading online and some stuffing...
