120mm Radiator/AIO is insufficient, or your fan placement in your case is introducing unnecessary heat. Where did you place it in your chassis, what style case do you have? additional fans?

"4k 60fps at medium settings with upscaling" is much more believable

Bro I'm just criticizing industry-routine misleading specs and hype for under-delivering products, your response is more offended than anything I've posted. I'm just questioning their ability to package that along with high-end specs like PCIe4.0, 8-core AMD chips, SSD and be able to price it...

Even more ridiculous. They're not packing a 2080Ti equivalent under that hood, I feel like tech companies (all of them, Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Sony, M$FT) need to be help accountable for misleading consumers and investors with these kinds of claims.

So they're claiming they can package a console that can perform on par with $1500+ gaming PC with PCIe 4.0 & "GDDR6 RAM" as well as a 4K GPU capable of 30fps and market it at <$600? Heavy X to doubt boys. I will believe it when I see real life performance. (I know the article doesnt claim 4k @...

8700k Boost is 4.7 GHz Highly advise against any autoOC tools for the 8700k or Intel in general. Here's a couple of tutorials for you: Coffee Lake Guide + Youtube Take your time and get your OC right

How frequently does this happen when waking up from sleep mode? I know you mentioned you already tried reinstalling GPU drivers, one guide I found recommends this in a particular fashion https://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-10-crashes-after-waking-sleep And do you have Fast Startup enabled...

Processor OC'd? I've seen overclocked systems (mine included) have issues with power when waking up from sleep mode

Not guaranteed to work correctly, Phaaze offered the best advice IMO just upgrade your SSD to either a better SATA III or NVMe type SSD, and get rid of that singlechannel bottleneck

I also like BoostedMedia's OC tutorials for the 8700k, is SpeedStep enabled? If so that's likely what's causing your idle fluctuations, and honestly 100Mhz is hardly anything to worry yourself over. See this older thread...

Fellow ASUS AIO user (Ryuo 240 model) Did you wire everything correctly? Is the pin-connector from the heatsink head plugged into the AIO connector on your motherboard? Are your radiator fans also plugged in and spinning when you turn on your PC? Mads also recommended a possible cause/fix in...

60GB SSD, what is this 2005? You're already going to have to spend $$ on more storage, likely more on any components that fail down the line. is this PC worth the investments to you?
