Actually, the pump was the problem. The pump is busted but the fans are spinning, that threw me off.

I can feel a little bit of heat around the cpu but trust me, it's not 100c. If it has to do with the water cooler, why does it give me a cpu fan error, even though the CPU fan works fine?

Hey, this morning my pc failed to post, my Z97-a had a red "Boot device Led" and I solved that problem by unplugging all my drives, restarting and then plugging them back in. However, now the pc won't boot into OS because of a cpu fan error. I'm running an H110i on an i5 4690k, but the fans of...

Hey, so I've had this issue for a while now. At completely random unrelated points during gaming my windows theme AUTOMATICALLY changes. No warning, no popup, no questions asked. It changes, I wait for a while, alt tab and it changes back. [censored] Does anyone know what causes this? Thanks in...

You definitely don't need an 850, i ran an R9 390 overclocked to the brim on an old corsair 650w PSU. Google for compability issues with case/mobo & the card, easiest way to find it out.

Sorry for the late answer, That's pretty strange. What are your voltages set at?

You're right, sorry. Didn't realize how bad software OC is compared to BIOS OC until very recently. Got a seemingly stable OC of 4.4ghz with 1.250v. Thanks for the pointer.

Did you overclock using software, or through the BIOS?

Z97-a / USB 3.1, being lazy & using AI suite 3. Should I dump it & just OC in the bios instead?

You don't need an AMD CPU to use Freesync, it's all about the GPU. Freesync monitor + AMD card = works.

Hey, what's going on here? I'm overclocking my CPU and running into strange issues constantly. Screenshot of my CPU-Z below, where you'll see that it's refusing to go over x38 despite having MORE than enough voltage. https://gyazo.com/28091a81215fb3e381c20a3d793a33fe Help is much...

Because it works again after a restart. If it kept giving you an error, something would actually be wrong.

Dangerous? No. Annoying? Yes. Doesn't make a difference, something simply failed and the overclock didn't get applied. If it works again after a restart, you have nothing to worry about.

What the hell is going on here? I'm fairly sure this temperature isn't supposed to, well, be possible with this cooler without any sort of overclock. I've been running Prime95 for 10 minutes and it's stable at 65-70 degrees, but that still feels very hot. Mind you this is the temperature I'm...
