Edited to include all my specs.

A week or so ago, I noticed that my PC kept restarting randomly for some reason. After waiting a bit, it went away, and I assumed all was fine. Now it happened again, and this time, when it attempted to restart, it failed and made a lot of clicking sounds every time it tried to. I tried...

UPDATE View: https://imgur.com/a/j60DAZg Yep. I ran my PC for a whole goddamn year before finally deciding to open it up

i mentioned im 1080p already. I'm using the thermalright peerless assassin 120 SE

I have a 4070 ti 12900k PC with a 1080p monitor. On THE FINALS, I get 240-280 FPS with frame generation on, which is pretty normal. But when I turn it off, my FPS drops to 100-120, which seems crazy to me. I have a friend with a 4060 ti and 1440p monitor that gets 144+ FPS with no frame...

Does Cinebench overclock the CPU? If so, then I suspect it's just because I didn't plug in the extra 4-pin connector so there's not enough power going to the CPU.

1000 is 50% lower than the average 1500 though, so I wouldn't consider that "normal-ish" lol I'd say normal-ish is like 1400 at least

My cooler is the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE. Is it normal for the CPU temperatures to go to 95-100C during Cinebench? My motherboard is the ASUS Prime Z790-V. It's a pretty obscure model, came with the Micro Center bundle I got. Oh, so the Cinebench 2024 average for 12900k is 1582...

I just built my first PC and decided to do some benchmarking. When I tried running Cinebench on my 12900k, I got a shockingly low score of 1180. I looked it up and couldn't find anyone with the same issue, just people complaining about getting 20k on a 12900k lol. I checked Core Temp and it...
