Thanks :). Just don't want to ruin anything, glad it's fine. I've heard horrid stories of people burning their MOBO or CPU due to high temps, but I'd bet that would have to be a pretty long while over 100. Phew, I'd bet the I9 would run really hot without a CPU cooler or sufficient airflow..

I've noticed while playing games my CPU temp will go around 50-60 Celsius or more. Is that normal? I also haven't overclocked it but it's going around 4.700 MHz, it's capable of up to 5.100 MHz i'm pretty sure. It's an i9-9900K. I do have a Thermaltake CPU AIO cooler on there just to cool it...

To add on this thread I’m slightly concerned about the temperatures as well. My CPU is averaging 80 Fahrenheit while browsing the internet running at 4837 MHz? I don’t think I overclocked?? GPU temp is pretty cool around 27 Celsius, because I amped up the RPM to around 2,000. All four case fans...

I have 1000 Mbps and I’m only getting 300 right now on a Speedtest, also it’s right next to all my networking equipment. Will try the game boost though, had it on my old laptop and it worked.

Duh! I’m an idiot, I’m so used to FPS games lol! Still, people have around 60 ping. It’s kinda baffling.

This is my first time building a rig so I have no idea what I’m doing. That being said any tips on what the hell i’m even doing would help. It’s working fine, I just want to make sure it’s working to it’s full potential. And not to overclock it soon- not going to void the Zotac warranty for my...

True! Seems like I wouldn’t be using that slot lol. Just wanted to make sure it’s nothing too important.

So I just booted up my new gaming rig (the only thing I’m missing is a Windows 10 copy and a monitor, so I’m using my TV.) and I got the ‘Reboot and Select proper Boot device, insert Boot media in selected Boot device and press a key.’ I read this has something to do with needing a Windows 10...

Haha came back to this thread and noticed it turned into its own thing! Thanks for the spelling correction, it was about 6 in the morning. Yes, I have a legal copy of Windows 10 Home and my Zotac RTX 2080 TI Extreme AMP! Haven’t gotten the monitor yet.. has to be under $700, real tight on my...

I’m almost done with my gaming rig, just got my graphics card so I plugged it in and all. Then I see this on the side of the card. (It’s a Zotac RTX 2080 TI Extreme AMP) I already plugged in both of the (VGA?) cables. There’s just that thing left? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

^ if you don’t mind me asking, where does the HDMI cable connect? It seems like the only HDMI I have is for a Streaming Boost card.

Hi, I’ve been wondering if I can run my gaming pc without a GPU? The motherboard is a Z390 Msi meg godlike and the CPU a i9-9900k, which i think has integrated graphics. I’m only running it for a while until my graphics card will get here. I don’t have a monitor or Windows 10 home as well, so...

^^ Yes! Everything is working perfectly. I am waiting a month to get the graphics card (most likely a Zotac 2080 Ti amp extreme). I also need to get Windows 10 and the monitor, but that’s about it. The motherboard pens were actually BENT from putting in the fraud graphics card- MSI gladly...

CPU Error was due to bent pins on the MOBO.. got it replaced.

Thank you, I was idiotic and remembered there’s a box on the back for control of the Thermaltake fans.. it easily plugged in there. Now the CPU Cooler lights turn on, still a CPU Error but I’ll leave that up to later. Thanks!
