I recently got two monitors for my computer to make a triple monitor setup. One monitor is a 27" 1440p, the two flanking it are 20.70" 1080ps I got on a great sale. I like it, the pixel pitches are the exact same and they are the same series from acer, but I was wondering how to setup my...

I suppose I am obsessed, I guess. But I have narrowed down the variables to it being just this one computer, nothing else. I will call either asus or intel (motherboard or network chip maker) along wiht my isp and see what they say.

EVGA are recommending I do some form of burn in for my PSU overnight or at least a couple of hours. Unless anyone has any objections to that I will do it tonight.

I'll do that immediately. thanks.

Oh, and this is not like a light hiss or whine, this is more like physical damage/bad product noise, loud enough it can make it through headphones easily.

I'm pretty sure it's not the 970, the sound appears to emanate from the PSU. Also the sound did not change at all as compared to the previous GPU.

I've got a system with an Asus Strix gtx970, an EVGA 220 gs 650w psu (set to eco mode) and an Asus gryphon z97 motherboard. For some reason, in all games, some more than others I get a sometimes light, sometimes extreme coil whine. I actually replaced my GPU today and it still has it. I'm pretty...

Thanks but even with speedtest.net my speed isn't all that consistent. My max is around 2.7mbps, I get values from 1.5 to 2.7 with random drops to 0.4mbps. MY other PCs on either WiFi or Ethernet are much more consistent. Do you guys know of any other speed test services or maybe some form of...

My programs are freeMeter, task manager, and several other programs. Speedtest.net gives me slightly more regular speeds but not as regular or fast as my old PC or even my phone over wifi. Also some tests give me, say, 0.4mbps, while others give 2.5mbps (I'm in a rural area with slow internet)...

Just built a new PC and from task manager to freemeter I can see that my internet connection on everything from the built in Intel 1218v LAN to an external USB WiFi stick, while stable initially, varies from tens of kilobits per second to megabits per second, changing faster than my programs can...

Set to auto; the voltage is 1.183, 80w tdp, 42 and 99.9mhz, it drops to 40 multiplier when running prime 95 and 1.090v, 56-59*c max. I don't see turbo boost in the BIOS does it have some special classification name?

when overclocked the cpu voltage is 1.305, base clock 102mhz, multiplier 44, 122.2w tdp, 79*c max prime 95 now.

Thanks Tradesman 1 and Manish Tewari. I just checked, my MOBO seems to be scaling the core clock from 100 to 102 Mhz and the multiplier from 40 to 44 (limit) when auto overclocking. Right now its running at 42 and 99.9mhz for about 4.2ghz on cpu-z, task manager says 4.0ghz +- 100mhz, though I...

Thanks, I know they look fine but I'm just not sure what other people are getting with their Dark Rock Pro 3's and if I should be expecting better--thus I did something wrong in installation. I'm running the latest prime 95 blend test. Ambient is 21.5-22*c. I haven't gotten above 71*c yet so I...

OK, I reset the BIOS to default, idle temps dropped by about 3*c, fans slowed, and the 4ghz CPU runs at 4.2Ghz idle according to CPU-Z on a 42 multiplier, 99.9mhz clock. Task manager says 4.04-4.12Ghz. Prime 95 now gets 56*c max temperature at 3.92ghz all cores. CPUID package tdp seems to have...
