    Question Suddenly having very bad stuttering both in and out of game a few days after PC forced shut down from overheating ?

    Power profile is on balanced. Also I updated to the latest bios version at the time I built the PC. New bios version came out a week ago, which I just updated to. Not sure if it's just a coincidence, but now stuttering is significantly worse now. Before the stuttering happened every minute or so...

    Question Suddenly having very bad stuttering both in and out of game a few days after PC forced shut down from overheating ?

    Honestly temps are pretty much the same before and after unfortunately. I've been using the only XMP profile available, which seems to be the default factory settings of 3600mhz 16-16-19-19-39-58-1.35V According to CystalDiskInfo drive health is at 100% and is sitting at around 45 degrees...

    Question Suddenly having very bad stuttering both in and out of game a few days after PC forced shut down from overheating ?

    Only drive I have is an ADATA - XPG - SX8200 Pro Series 2TB. Just did fresh install of windows so drive has been wiped. Before the drive was wiped it had ~800GB left. RAM usage has also been normal. Even after doing fresh install of Windows the problem still persists so I'm assuming it's...

    Question Suddenly having very bad stuttering both in and out of game a few days after PC forced shut down from overheating ?

    As title states. Started ~30 minutes after booting up Monster Hunter World for first time. Thought it was just the game, but it turns out I'm getting stuttering on my desktop and every game I play. I have 5950x and 3080 Ti. CPU temps and GPU temps are higher than average most of the time...

    Question Playing 60fps capped game at native 165hz refresh rate with G-Sync, confused why it's noticeably more choppy than playing at 60hz ?

    Okay, so I think I fixed it by setting the adaptive sync mode to "extended" rather than "basic". When I was running on basic mode with 60fps capped games the refresh rate of my monitor wasn't even close to 60hz. When I put on extended it's now consistently at 60hz. Apparently extended mode mode...

    Question Playing 60fps capped game at native 165hz refresh rate with G-Sync, confused why it's noticeably more choppy than playing at 60hz ?

    Yeah I tried disabling V-Sync and it didn't do anything for me. Also, according to blurbusters apparently G-sync is designed to work in tandem to V-Sync, at least the one enabled in Nvidia Control panel. Can't say for in-game though since the game I'm playing (Terraria) doesn't have its own...

    Question Playing 60fps capped game at native 165hz refresh rate with G-Sync, confused why it's noticeably more choppy than playing at 60hz ?

    So I recently bought the LG 27GP850-B 27 and this is my first high refresh rate monitor, so bear with me here as I’m a bit confused with how variable refresh rate works. When I was playing a game that was locked at 60fps, the refresh rate on my monitor was jumping around between ~70-165hz but...

    [SOLVED] Getting pretty high idle temps on new build. Not sure if this is normal for my system specs.

    So I bought 9 Corsair QL 120 fans for a new build only after realizing that they’re really not good at cooling, especially on an AIO. Had to stick with it though since I’m already past the return period. Specs: Case: Lian Li 011D AIO: NZXT Kraken x73 with QL120 fans mounted GPU: 3080 Ti...

    [SOLVED] Which power supply should I get for future-proofing?

    I plan on starting a new build with a Ryzen 5900x and rtx 3080. I also plan on doing a few GPU upgrades in the future and perhaps some overclocking. I've heard that power supplies run more efficiently and quieter the higher ratio of power draw to maximum wattage is. Is this true? I was thinking...

    Looking for Power Supply.

    Hello, recently my PSU died and I am looking for a new one. I need a good one that's around 620-750w, at least tier 2, and under $100. So far I've found these 2: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X2AW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1CPWE4BUHBCWE...
