PSU: Sharkoon Silentstorm Cool Zero 850w. The unit is 3 years and 3 months old. The BIOS version 1.70 - AMD AGESA ComboAM5PI 1.0.0.7c (date 8/10/2023) Turning FreeSync on and off didn't fix the issue. Will try the DDU thing right now and will update this comment. Edit: also did the DDU thing in...

Hi guys, So over the past few months I've tried several monitors and keep running into the same issue. I have two monitors, one 75hz 1080p, one 1440p which should be able to go up to 120, 144, 165hz. However, the main monitor (1440p, first some Asus monitor, now a Samsung Odyssey G50a 27"...

I guess that theoretically it can't hurt to hit 95-100 degree temps for short periods of time, but it's a mental/peace of mind thing I guess. The uncertainty of why it did what it did was bothering me a lot. I know the 7000 series runs hot and I know these CPUs (or most of them) are perfectly...

Downloaded it and booted Hogwarts Legacy (seemed like a demanding game for CPU and GPU). Found that it spiked to ~95 degrees again when booting + loading shaders, then I played and it fluctuated between 65-75 degrees, which is FINE. Could it have anything to do with my M2 SSD? I tried to set a...

I just updated my bios and restarted the pc. Started downloading a game to see how the temps hold up and they shoot up to 90 degrees again. After the download it's fluctuating around the 70 degrees. Bios update didn't seem to fix it.

Hi guys! I just built a brand-new PC with the Ryzen 5 7600x. My specs are as follows: CPU: Ryzen 5 7600x CPU cooler: BeQuiet! Pure Rock 2 FX Mobo: MSI B650 Mag Tomahawk wifi AM5 GPU: Powercolor RX 6800 XT Ram: GSkill Ripjaws 2 x 16 GB 6000mhz PSU: Sharkoon Silent Storm Cool Zero 850W Case...

My cpu cooler and the three argb fans both list that they got a 5V thingy and in total they amount to about 1.6A. The argb headers on my mobo are also 5V and allow for up to 3A. Seems like ampère wise I am okay, but can the 5V header deal with a daisy chain of three argb fans and an argb cpu...

So I am currently building a new pc and I've run into a problem. My case has three argb fans in the front, my cpu cooler has one and the other three I want to mount also have argb. I do not have enough fan headers with argb headers (2) on my mobo (pretty sure) to give them all power and rgb...

I figured as much, which is why I was looking for what to do next. Would you mind explaining why ssds with windows don't properly boot in new pcs?

Hi guys! So I sold my old pc and have the parts for a new one. I had my Windows 10 installed on an ssd (interal mushkin triactor 256gb), which I still own. Now I didn't make a backup as I thought I could just insert this ssd in a new pc, choose it as the boot drive in the bios and that would...

After reading up I've decided to go for an AM5 build. Upgrading from an i7-9700k + rtx 2070 super to this: GPU: RX 6800xt CPU: Ryzen 5 7600x COOLER: be quiet! Pure Rock 2 FX Black MOBO: Asus PRIME B650-PLUS RAM: Kingston DDR4 FURY Beast 2 x 16GB Already have storage, Windows, PSU (850watts)...

Netherlands (usually buy from Alternate/megekko/azerty). PSU is a Sharkoon SilenStorm Cool Zero 850W (so I made a mistake which I'll edit in the original post)

Hi guys! I am going to update my current build which I've been using for 1440p high settings gaming since it is no longer feasible with newer games. What I have + want to replace: CPU: intel i7-9700k 3.6ghz GPU: geforce rtx 2070 super 8gb Mobo: Gigabyte Z390D mobo (doesn't need to have wifi, I...
