    Question Extremely low score in Unigine Heaven Benchmark with a 3070 Ti, how is it possible ?

    Hello, guys, I recently replaced my dead GTX 980 with a 3070 Ti. I ran Unigine Heaven Benchmark, and my score is around 1500 every time. By the way, I also replaced my PSU with an Enermax Revolution D.F 850W 80+ Gold. I ran out of money, so I won't be able to get a new MOBO and CPU until the end...

    [SOLVED] Can a PSU kill a GPU? (Please, help!)

    Hey, Satan; I really appreciate the time you took to answer my questions. I'm not gonna lie, man, buying the GPU already put me way beyond my budget, but I will definitely upgrade the MOBO and de CPU as soon as I can financially afford it. Regarding the PSU, I guess I will have to bite the...

    [SOLVED] I need advice on getting a new GPU (My 980 gave up on me after six years)

    Hello, guys. After almost six years, my GTX 980 gave up on me during the worst possible time. There are no cards, and the cards that "launch" get scalped or gotten by miners, which leaves most players with very limited options. Look at the second-hand market (which is just as overpriced), pay...

    Hey, guys. I'm sorry to come to you with such an odd question. I've been coughing for almost two months now.

    [SOLVED] I am worried about my MOBO temperatures. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hey, man! Thanks a lot for the information, I had no idea about which temps ranges were normal on that stuff. Ib regards to downclocking, these days I am just browsing I am not really gaming as much, I just wanted to see lower temps in general. I will probably take it up to the regular speed...

    Hey, RealBeast; I have been reading the information you suggested. I think it is really interesting. I will definitely work in improving my case airflow, and I will also look into some solid AIO coolers. I have always been afraid of mixing water with PC components. I'm a little clumsy, and I...

    [SOLVED] Worrisome temperatures in my GPU. Is my cooling responsible for this?

    The front fans are, indeed, 120mm. I hadn't thought about the top of the case, it does have room for more fans. Now I see that the hot air from all the components is being recycled and the back fan is just not enough to keep up with all that heat. I truly appreciate your help, man. I will start...

    Hey, Ricky! I have just updated the GPU information on the original post. Now it shows the specific GTX 980 model. It is the gaming 1 from Gigabyte. As for the exhaust fans, it only has a 140mm fan in the upper rear. I added some pics of the case on the original post as well. I appreciate your...
