So I believe I have fixed the issue. The PSU I have is a modular PSU, and I had an unused PCI-E slot on the PSU. While tinkering with it yesterday I tried using a different connector on the PSU, and this seems to have fixed the issue. I have stress tested it all night and was unable to reproduce...

So i ponied up and ordered a CORSAIR HXi Series, HX1000i, 1000 Watt, 80+ Platinum Certified, Fully Modular - Digital Power Supply. Now for the frustration of dealing with semi-frequent crashes while awaiting the new PSU.

OK will do. I don't have another PSU on hand so I will have to buy one. I'll update in a couple of days when it comes in.

So i just replaced my RTX 2080 TI with my old GTX 1070ti and was able to recreate the system crash. So obviously this isn't a GPU problem like I originally had thought. Secondly sorry for putting it in this thread as the only recent hardware change was the GPU and I suspected that as the...

Thermaltake Smart M 850 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

Hi there, Recently updated to a ROG-STRIX RTX 2080TI, everything went fine for the first couple of weeks. I stress tested everything under load, ran Furmark as well as a silverlight CPU simultaneously and everything seemed stables. Then recently I began getting system crashes, specifically it...

Thanks for the tips on DOCP, I had read that max RAM settings were lower than 3200(2400 i think) on MOBO stock, so they require user intervention to get to max settings, just wasn't aware what the setting specifically was thank you for that. Also as far as having all 4 slots occupied, I actually...

Hey Coozie, For the extra $20 I'm inclined to go with the 8 core vs 6. Also I wanted to go on the beefier side for the MOBO as my last MOBO was really quite a bottleneck, and from what I've read they plan on supporting the Ryzen chipset through 2020. I went with a Asus - ROG STRIX X470-F...

After looking around some more I've found that they have low profile RAM! Corsair - Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 Memory About 40$ more than the RAM I was looking at, but same speed and size goes from 52.5mm on the vengeance series I previously had, and 34mm on the LPX. After doing...

So I am replacing MOBO/GPU/CPU with my existing case, and want to get a good cooler for the Ryzen 7 1700x I'm installing. The case however only really fits a 120/140mm radiator as the placement of the RAM slots on the motherboard would prohibit it from mounting a 240mm radiator as the case...

Thanks for the in depth response! Those are some decent load outs for far cheaper than I was thinking. I did update all BIOS and MOBO drivers and Power settings changed as well, however it run at the same speed on benchmark(still need to do a couple other driver updates). The gaming load times...

Any idea why the terrible disk performance? I'm running Western Digital WD Green WD15EARS 1.5TB 7200 RPM Western Digital AV-GP WD20EURS 2TB I have a hard time imagining these would be the issue, but I really don't know for certain.

So I recently just purchased a new GPU to try and get my computer performance back up. I built this PC in 2014 and it is aging, however I'm hoping to avoid rebuilding more than necessary. PC build is as follows; ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 - MOBO AMD FX-9370 - CPU (downclocked to 4.0ghz) liquid cooled...
