    Question GTX 280 freezes games?

    MSI Afterburner showed around 60c, which I find hard to believe because it's a blower style card. HWInfo also showed me 60c and the vrm didn't get that hot either. I've got the card almost disassembled, there's only one screw that's just super stuck... I hope you're right tho!

    Question GTX 280 freezes games?

    Hi! Ok... sorry for the not very clear title, I'll explain further! So, I've got a GTX 280. By now it's 14 years old and I wanted to see if it still worked. It started fine, I booted into Windows and installed the latest available drivers for the GTX 280. But when I played CSGO for 5 - 10...

    Question CPU temps high even with new cooler?

    Thank you for your suggestion! I'll keep that in mind. I'm still testing if my CPU OC is stable(it was not). So I'll lower the clock a bit. But yesterday it was stable... at a lower voltage. So I'm rather confused, but I reckon I'd be able to figure that out.

    Question CPU temps high even with new cooler?

    Thank you for the answer! You might be right about the aggressive OC, but I'd like to future proof my pc by essentially squeezing as much performance out of it as possible, because I don't want to upgrade anytime soon. I've already done that for my GPU, which seemed to be a success. And I've...

    Question CPU temps high even with new cooler?

    So I've got a new cooler... Actually, I've got it a few months already. I overclocked my CPU to 4.4ghz on ccx 1 and 4.5ghz on ccx2 using 1.35 volts, which is nice and stable. I've read that my cooler should be more than enough, but my temps are rather high and when I use RealBench my CPU creeps...

    Question Should I use 'AMD Ryzen High performance' or the 'Ultimate Performance' power plan?

    My memory and thermals are fine, so should I use Ryzen high performance or Ultimate performance? I use 2x8GB 3200mhz dual channel ram.

    Question Should I use 'AMD Ryzen High performance' or the 'Ultimate Performance' power plan?

    More consistent and maybe even better framerates in games. I've seen that Ultimate performance can give a more consistent framerate than High performance.

    Question Should I use 'AMD Ryzen High performance' or the 'Ultimate Performance' power plan?

    I was just checking if I had selected the right power plan and I saw there were Ryzen power plans. I was confused whether I should use Ultimate performance or not. I wasn't able to find anything useful when I searched which was better for performance. I would like to know which of the power...

    [SOLVED] PC randomly shuts down

    Could it be that my CPU is just running too hot and for that reason my PSU is shutting down to protect itself? I've got a case that's made to be pretty silent and it's not know for epic airflow.

    [SOLVED] PC randomly shuts down

    alright! I knew I had an overheating issue when I upgraded my PC, so I disabled turbo boost which helped. I still have overheating issues. Apparently even without turbo my CPU reaches 88 degrees! Not quite what I wanted to see. I thought I was good when I saw RPCS3 emulating with max 77 degrees...

    [SOLVED] PC randomly shuts down

    I think it's around 3-4 years old and I don't know exactly what model it is, but it never failed. This only happened with GTA 5 now and like 2 years ago.

    [SOLVED] PC randomly shuts down

    I've seen this question a lot here, but I couldn't quite find a reason why my pc would randomly shut down. So I was playing GTA 5 and my pc just shut down. I remember that happening 2 years ago with GTA 5 as well! I upgraded my pc, but even then my 700 watt power supply should be beefy enough...
