Not really sure if the temps are all of a sudden, I check my temps maybe every 1-3 at most months so it could be something that's slowly happened over time. I will say I've not got crazy cooling in my case, no exhaust fan (behind the cpu) and no front intake fan (I'm not sure there's screw...

Hi, noticed today my temps were much higher than usual. From what I've seen Founder's Edition 1080s average between 83c to 85c at full load. I like to check my temps every once in a while especially while playing games that would max out my system and found the card operating at 91c. I closed...

Hello, my CoolerMaster 700W power supply finally crapped out about a week ago after 5 years of heavy use (surprised it lasted this long), I need advice on a new power supply to buy. If possible I'd prefer semi-modular at least and maybe a little bit of headroom for possibly upgrading to Zen in...

I changed over to my 280X again and tested it on FurMark at stock. PC locked up at 720P test. I then underclocked the card to the reference card's speeds ( 853MHz ) and it survived 720P but failed the 1080P test.

Hi, so recently ( past few weeks ) my PC when reaching heavy load ( not the CPU, when the GPU is really pushed with higher end games ) the PC locks up and the main display loses signal but the second display connected to my iGPU stays on. Specs: Windows 10 64-bit i5 4570 Stock clocks 8GB...

Hi all. Just wondering what would Crossfire with my 280X. I looked at PCPartpicker for another one but theres only two and they are way more expensive than usual. I looked at the 380 but it seems to be a rebrand of a 285 so I thought the 380X might be as well. Would either of these cards...

Hi, I'm slowly dragging my friend into PC gaming. Atm he has a laptop that just barely plays some of his Steam games. I'm looking to build him something fairly good that's cost effective. I will only be buying the OS, Mobo and CPU. I will be buying a new power supply for myself and using my old...

Hi, I have a Powercolor Radeon R9 280X. A few weeks ago, I started up Jedi Knight 3 and the display started to go wonky when hitting the main menu ( was using 1920x1080 .ini edit ). Random lines of the screen were flickering and going out of sync and out of nowhere, the whole screen started...

I had this problem with a PC I was trying to boot a few weeks ago. Funny enough, I was using the exact same CPU and an Asus board ( altho not the same model ). The PC was also shutting down before it could boot in to Windows properly and even while in the BIOS. Turned out it was running at 120+...
