Yep my drivers are always up to date. Unless it's not my GPU? I just figure that it is because lowering graphics settings seems to help.

Hello, I've been having issues with my 3090 and constant crashing while playing games. For a while, I just thought it was the games that I was playing, but after almost EVERY game that I play crashes to desktop, I'm wondering if it's my GPU? I know that when these things launched, people were...

Hello everyone and thank you for your responses. Because of the positive responses I got about the hybrid cooler, I decided to pull the trigger on it. It arrived yesterday, I installed it and then ran it through a 30 minute torture test. Before the cooler, I was seeing temps up to 83 degrees...

My idle temps are in the low 40's. And yes, I do have an overclock applied So I don't know. I really go back and forth as to whether I want to pull the trigger on a full custom loop. I think the biggest thing holding me back is just the thought of spending so much money on something that...

Hello everyone, So recently I bought a EVGA ftw3 3090 and my temps are pretty high on it. When it's under load, I see temps as high as 83c. I've heard a lot of mixed comments with some people saying that's it's completely normal for that card to get really hot, and I've heard other people...

Hi Rick, I haven't really found a permanent solution yet. But what I have been doing is spraying down my chair with anti-static spray every once in a while. It wears off pretty fast, especially if I'm getting up out of my chair a lot, but it does offer some temporary relief from the problem...

I'm getting an image on my monitor though and besides that, everything seems to be working fine. That's why I'm so confused. And no I'm not using a tv.

Hello everyone, I just recently upgraded my GPU to a EVGA FTW3 3090. Everything is working just fine, except I'm getting a VGA post code at bootup. Besides this, there are literally no other anomalies and I can't figure out what my motherboard is trying to tell me. When I start my PC, the...

So the answer to that last question is a definite no. My floor is carpet, but I like to be barefoot around the house and even then, my desk has a wooden base that I like to prop my feet on to. The chair I was using before this one was a faux leather chair and I never had any problems with ESD...

Hello everyone, So this is a problem I really didn't anticipate when I got my new Secret Labs chair. This was such an important investment for me as I've been working from home lately and might still be doing so for a while after the pandemic is over. The long hours sitting in front of my...

Hi everyone, I decided to take the advice of a poster on this thread and just give the side mounted radiator a try and test it. I wanted to share the results in case any of you all are interested: I tried three configurations, ran my pc under load for 10 minutes and got the average...

Great response thanks! You essentially confirmed what I was worried about and why I hesitated to mount the rad that way. I love almost everything about this case, but it just bugs me a little that there's so much empty space in that area of the case. Not enough to compromise the airflow of my...

I have an AIO and I want to mount the radiator to the side of the case like in this picture (This is also the case I'm using): https://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggImage/ProductImageCompressAll1280/11-133-359-V08.jpg My question is: will I mess up the airflow in my case by doing this? My temps...

The radiator fans are connected to the TT sync controller, but not the AIO itself. I tried experimenting by disconecting the controller, but I still had the same problem. Another update: I had a RGB strip in my case that was working fine and suddenly, it's having the same problems as the rest...

Intel i-9 9900k ASUS ROG Strix E-Gaming GTX 960 32gb RAM Hello everyone, I'm having an issue with the RGB in my case, but I'm starting to wonder if it's symptoms of a bigger problem. I first noticed this problem when I bought some Thermaltake Riing plus fans for my case. I installed them and...
