Calling on SR-71 Blackbird's help and anyone else to rebuild this cheaper or just give more reliable parts for around $1500-1600. I will have a separate computer to stream and this new one for gaming. Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LchxJV

Hey I just got the ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1070 STRIX and it is completely silent. It comes out of the box at 1800mhz default clock and I have yet to see it get over 60c. It also has a nice red glow to match my red and black layout. I cannot tell you how the MSI Armor, Gainward, Palit or Galax will...

I can believe that about the micro-stutter as my GPU sits at 80c on H1Z1 even without streaming. I was going to give the Gigabyte GTX 1070 a try tomorrow. I wanted to upgrade my CPU as well because while playing H1Z1 my usage sits at 80-90%. My download is 120mb/s and upload is about 12mb/s and...

Hey I am looking for some advice on upgrading a few parts to improve my stream quality as well as remove micro stutter and fps drops during stream. Current build: Mobo - MSI Z97 Gaming 5 CPU - i5-4690k GPU - GTX 780 PSU - Corsair RM850 RAM - 1600mhz 16gb Ripjaw HDD - WD 1TB Cooler - Noctua...

I currently have a 1080p 144hz monitor (VG248QE).

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Sleetz/saved/PXghMp Can anyone look over this and try to lessen the price without dropping performance please?

Also it only happens when I run a game. My temp will go from 50c to 80c once I get to WoW character screen. If I try to play it will overheat and my computer will shut off. The only temporary fix I have right now is to lower my GPU core clock speed from 1123 MHz to 900MHz and turning the...

I put a small dot of thermal paste - it must be something else. I forgot to mention that I tried to overclock the card a bit and it caused my computer to crash and I got a black screen on startup displaying the "A2" error code. I fixed the error by swapping out SATA cables. The coil whine...

Specs: GPU - Nvidia GTX 780 GHz Edition (GV-N780GHZ-3GD) CPU - i5-4690k (oc'd to 4.3GHz) Mobo - MSI Gaming 5 Ram - 16 gb Ripjawz PSU - Corsair RM 850 Problem: When I start my computer the temp is around 42c-50c then once I open a game it goes up to to about 65c-84c and I get some coil whine...

Your computer is telling you not to go any higher.

Don't overclock on the power supply that came with the computer. I advise you to look into a tier 1-3 psu from here. Also look into a cooler such as the Cryorig H7 or the Evo 212 -- stock coolers are not recommended for overclocking. Also your motherboard may not be that great for ocing as...

That makes sense Wolf. I went to sleep, powered off the computer, and am now returning from school and the message has not appeared again. I am so confused.

Yes I was going to mention that software can give false readings! Your BIOS is accurate. A good voltage range is anywhere between 1.2-1.4v depending on your cooling. More voltages = higher temperatures. Look around for some guides to help you through the process. Best of luck :)

I have not recently installed Windows. I have Windows 7 Premium. It is an OEM from iBuyPower (they built my old PC which died within a year) but I have been using the HDD ever since with no issues on my new build. I was playing CS:GO and my internet went out while I was using a wired connection...

I have had this HDD for a little over 2 years now and never had this issue.
