    Question RTX 3090 Founders Edition Thermal Paste

    Thanks! I see they have a "custom set" for the 3090 FE, which is great, this is as much "plug and play" version of it I'll probably find (https://kriticalpads.com/nvidia-3090-fe-v2). But the set does not contain a pad/paste for the core itself. Which size and thickness do I need? (Since I am...

    Question RTX 3090 Founders Edition Thermal Paste

    Hi, I've noticed that my RTX 3090 FE keeps spiking to 100% fan speed.

I found some guides...

    Hi all, I think my GPU is failing, or the driver is. While playing Warthunder and Battlefield 2042 (only with these two, rarely with Warthunder, almost 100% of the time with BF 2042), the game freezes and the pc is either restarting or needs a hard reboot because it does not respond to anything...

    Upgrading to GTX 980 and need some help

    Upgrading from GTX 570, budget ~400$

    I'll probably sell it to a friend or something, since I don't have any more space on my MOBO without blocking the air flow as the 570 is a 3 slot card and very long, not to mention the 970 probably is not smaller ? Anyway, I currently have a chieftec PSU (Can't find info about it's W) which...
