    News Microsoft: You Can't Get Around Windows 11 Requirements

    The new requirements are horrible. Why can't I install win 11 if I have a cpu that is clearly capable of running it (like Intel 6th gen)? I mean sure, if the requirements where just the tpm 2.0 and secure boot I could somewhat expect that argument, but what if I have them both but with a 6 gen...

    [SOLVED] current RAM no longer on QVL lists - how to predict compatibility with other motherboards?

    Well ironically enough, I used to work at company that builds custom computers by order for about hlaf a year, so 10 builds yeah in a slow week maybe. After that I workd at IT for 3 years in a big company , I saw more computers and computer problems then you can imagine, including a lot of ram...

    [SOLVED] current RAM no longer on QVL lists - how to predict compatibility with other motherboards?

    Well It is safe to assume that every ddr4 ram will work (at stock settings and probably at xmp too) but it is not not guaranteed since the manufacturer didn't try your specific kit I can tell you from personal experience that I have never had an issue with ram that was not QVL by manufacturer...

    [SOLVED] Looking into build a custom liquid cooled loop for GPU and CPU

    Basically you can use every graphics card you want as long as you can get a waterblock for it. Since cards with reference pcb are the most common they have the widest range of waterblocks options available but you can easily find waterblocks for cards with custom pcb

    [SOLVED] Upgrading from 980, need some help.

    Well I would suggest waiting for 3rd party benchmarks but if you where aiming for 2080ti why not go for the 3080 or 3090? 16gb of ram is perfectly fine If you are thinking about upgrading the cpu then you will have to upgrade your motherboard and ram but you will see a benefit from a cpu upgrade

    [SOLVED] Help with overclocking and 3dmark scores

    With ryzen you memory speeds and the infinity fabric ratio can make a big difference, this is probably why you are seeing lower performance with higher cpu clocks. I would suggest running your memory as fast as you can and play around with the infinity fabric frequency

    [SOLVED] Overclock check, high clock, low Vcore

    Sound good, voltage is great and temps looks fine too Just a few points: Have you verified the voltage when running a stress test? You might set it it at 1.275 but the mobo (for various reasons) pushes higher voltage You might be able to get by with lower voltages on some of the other...

    [SOLVED] 2 of 3 DP ports in my 2080 Super stopped working

    Well it could be that the controller for those ports is damaged, but before coming to that conclusion try the following: 1) remove the card and resit it on the pcie slot. 2) preform a clean driver install using DDU I hope this will solve your problem

    [SOLVED] Is it possible to still OC my GPU with voltage and power limit?

    Well that is how gpu boost works, the bost speed you see in gpu-z is the minimum boost frequency. From there given the gpu has power and thermal headroom, it will boost higher. To your questions: 1) not necessarily, this is a conservative stock profile you can likely get higher clocks even...
