    Question Attempting to reverse overclock

    PSU Is in pretty good condition I'm confident. No visible evidence for a leak from the cooler. I've completed removed the H110i GTX for now and I've dug out my old stock i7 cooler and installed that. I did notice the pump head on the H110i had some scortch marks from where the CPU was situated...

    Question Attempting to reverse overclock

    Sorry, just to clarify the burning smell was over a week ago and I haven't smelt it since. I was gaming when the computer shutdown itself. I tried to turn it back on and when I stood up, I immediately smelt burning so I hit the power switch and shut everything down. The room smelt of burning...

    Question Attempting to reverse overclock

    I've factory reset my bios on every single option, everything is running on auto but still overclocks and sends my CPU 85 degrees. As you can see the Asus extreme tuning utility doesn't give me an option to disable, only auto, manual and xmp. Resetting all options to default in bios...

    Question Attempting to reverse overclock

    CPU temps have only recently began going to 80 degrees at idle. Earlier this week I was gaming with no cpu going this hot (at least not what I monitored whilst gaming) What would be the best way to determine pump failure? I have the h110i GTX. Is there software to test this? Still have yet to...

    Question Attempting to reverse overclock

    So I need some help on controlling my CPU as It's becoming rather unusual and I believe it's why it's leading me to get blue screened. This was on idle earlier and I decided to let it shutdown to cool off instead of seeing what would further happen. This is what currently I'm having over my...

    Question Attempting to reverse overclock

    I ran HWiNFO64 whilst gaming and temps never exceeded 65° C or so. Nothing crazy too high that I've come across. I've also got iCUE installed (For mouse, keyboard, Mousemat & H110i GTX) and I've got it set to pump LEDs to red if CPU temps was > 90°C - I know this isn't the most reliable method...

    Question Attempting to reverse overclock

    I removed the CPU recently and was in good condition as was all the pins. Thermal paste I've changed to Mx-4 with a small 'pea' amount. I use a Corsair H110i GTX Haven't come across thermal issue before with an Intel processor. Could this be a M/board issue or even a fault in sensor readings?

    Question Attempting to reverse overclock

    So I just tried to load a different game (Rainbow six siege) and see if that had any different outcome on performance limit reasons and I wasn't surprised that I had the blue screen again before I could go and check again. Stop Code: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR Not sure where I'm to go next...

    Question Attempting to reverse overclock

    Thanks for letting me know about this software, hadn't used it before! I've actually got NZXT Cam software because i have LED strips in my case that I prefer to customise and with that, It shows clock speeds, fan speeds and temps. This shows the CPU jumping from 800Mhz to 4.4Ghz, fan speeds...

    Question Attempting to reverse overclock

    Was hoping someone might of stumbled across the actual setting in the uefi because I tried to hit it into my XMP profile but it then got stuck into a boot loop but cleared that with the CMOS reset. I'm running with the H110i GTX, my GTX 980Ti SC died on me this week so It's all been cleaned...

    Question Attempting to reverse overclock

    ASUS Maximus VII Hero Intel i7-4790K I've been having a lot of troubles recently playing in games whereby I freeze and go straight to blue screen. I've checked over my system and noticed that I'm overclocked which right now, I don't need that kind of power to my components. The i7 is peaking at...

    [SOLVED] New GPU for £150

    Unfortunately I don't have the money to spend as we're just coming out of Christmas although I have my heart set on a new build this year. I'd love to get a replacement 980Ti but just doesn't seem logical when I have my intentions set on an entirely new build. Do you really suggest getting a...

    [SOLVED] New GPU for £150

    Evga G2 Supernova 850W Fully Modular PSU, roughly 4 years, 1 month old. I've checked over the power supply, taken me a couple days to figure out the graphics card was the problem. Since the PSU wasn't in warranty, I've had it opened and checked over and luckily no blistering on any capacitors...

    [SOLVED] New GPU for £150

    Hi all So I'm gutted to discover my EVGA GTX 980Ti 6GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 GPU has died on me recently so I need a replacement. I'll probably look to sell my computer on this year to build a new one with much more money to spend. I'm looking for a replacement GPU for roughly £150...

    Question Computer shut down, burning smell & Not turning back on

    I can't find any information to Asus motherboard warranty for the UK. There's a live chat and call option for the US & Canada but even going through their troubleshooting, I can't seem to find a warranty service or a way for checking if my motherboard still holds any warranty anyway.
