So I just put a new system together for my son, and gave the Ryzen a try. Very pleased so far, but I was hoping to reuse my 4X4GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4-2400 BLS4G4D240FSA.8FARG that I had sitting around. They were originally a quad-channel 16GB X99 kit which I used for a couple of...

That usually means that your OC is not stable.

It sounds like the driver crashed and went into failsafe mode - does the problem persist after rebooting?

Go into NVIDIA Control Panel /Set up multiple displays. Select "configure independently" and you should be able to set each monitor to its native resolution.

Your TV is probably not true 1080P. A lot of TV's are capabable of 1080P only through automatic downsampling. Try setting the TV for 1366x768, which is probably its native resolution. It could also be 1600x900. If you know the exact model of the Sharp TV, we can find out for sure.

The 6700K only boosts to 4.2GHz during single-threaded loads http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i7/Intel-Core%20i7-6700K.html "4200 MHz (1 core) / 4000 MHz (2 or more cores)"

It sounds like the 4GB RAM is the problem - neither the CPU nor GPU can work to their potential because the system can't keep enough data in main memory.

What's your budget?

2 980TI's would be faster most of the time, but you'd need a lot of power supply - 1000W really.

GPU, CPU, motherboard all at the same time.

The only way that should be happening is if there is an I/O bottleneck. How much RAM do you have?

That sounds about right for most stress tests - maybe a little high for something like RealBench, just right for XTU or AIDA64 and a little on the low side for Prime 95 small FFT or IBT.

Let's see the sensors tab in GPU-Z.

Your only two logical choices are to live with it for a while and maybe try for a conservative OC at stock or near-stock voltage, or scrap it, sell it, and start over with Intel.

Ah, OK. Just make sure you get a micro ATX board with that machine's case. If you want to stick with ASUS, there is the Z170M plus. Why are you switching boards anyway?
