To add, I tested another card (2070) in my system and it ramped up as expected through BIOS on the fans, but then immediately dropped to 0RPM mode once system loaded fully. I'm not able to put my 3080ti in another system, but if this might be useful to know, I think the 2000 series was gen 3 and...

Hi all, I am at my wits end and currently in contact with my retailer for what would be a refurbished card. I just want to see if you anyone has any more ideas or know what might be causing this issue.: So I had my EVGA FTW3 on a EK waterblock for about 1year 11 months, I decided I wanted to go...

Hi guys I plan to watercool asap but my budget is constricted a little so if I can save £10 then it would help, I plan to buy this Res and pump combo: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-006-TL Now I watched a Youtube video of a guy fitting the pump to the bottom of the...

Hi guys I want to overclock my CPU but I personally beleive that I have a bummed out PSU but wanted someones best guess to see if PSU is the issue and not another software/hardware issue. So Stock settings are enabled in bios (XMP is the profile on Bios) I run AIDA64 on CPU only - Fine 60c...

280x Sapphire Toxic is what I currently own, and from what I remember, it is the highest stock Overclock, the 2nd most quiet (maybe 3rd now the Viper-X is out) The Asus Direct CU IIwas close but was let down by the aluminium heatpipes (copper is best)

[b]Is that 47c under load or idle[b/] I just played a match of League of Legends and lagged, then 10min later I restarted my pc and checked temperature through BIOS, so I guess neither of them [b]A test under full load with HWmonitor will help me understand the temps you have, if your CPU is...

4790k hands down Pros for 4790k Less watts used (88w) Better Single core performance Hyperthreading Stock clocks Won't need a windtunnel to cool it Same price range as the AMD 9590 The 9590 was a total failure and a waste of money, loyalists to AMD bought it up, and I do love AMD (I await the...

Your lowest FPS will skyrocket, and if you have a decent Graphics card, the bottleneck will vanish and you will yield higher FPS

Is that 47c under load or idle Does your HDD/SSD need a defrag/TRIM Have you tried using a different Ethernet cable Have you tried Pingtest In fact, is it FPS stutter lag/or 'my bullets don't reg'? If windows is on a HDD and it performs maintenance, it might causes frame drop

Cemerian I will have to paste you this post from another user below - Ok, so for a 3rd time. Amount of heat and the Degrees are two entirely different properties. For processors - the most important factors for being "hotter" is the Amount of heat produced which depends on power consumed and...

It really depends on two things in todays market: 1) Are you ONLY gaming (no Streaming, recording) 2) Is the 8350 wayyyyy cheaper than the i5? Point 1) Rumour has it the i5 can be a bit stuttery in streaming certain games (feel free to debunk this, but I went i7 because i want it for many...
