I have an ASUS Z270-A mobo and I tried the AISuite optimization and it gave me a voltage much higher than I needed for the overclock it gave me. But I wouldn't worry too much about the voltages you have there. I would definitely check what the true voltage is in HWmonitor though because my...

ASUS is my go to.

Okay the problem was ram in the wrong slots.

Okay I have noticed that whenever the problem occurs videos are extremely laggy but the system itself isn't slowed. Just the video playback.

I'm not giving up yet haha. Just seeing if I was overlooking something simple.

Man I hope that's not the case. May just send all this back and go back stock.

I've never thought that deep into it. So does the onboard sound of the motherboard feed the sound through the GPU?

It's not just the surround though. It's an old cheap surround sound with no easy way to connect it to computer. But the issue happens through the tv speakers or the surround sound anyway

@wulffz I have a strange setup. My PC is connected to my TV and my TV is what pushes the audio to my surround sound. But my other pc and this pc before upgrading worked fine as well.

I just swapped from a dell micro atx to an asrock full atx board. Clean install of windows. GTX 1050ti i5 4460 Asrock H97 Board https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157511 The audio through HDMI on 3 different cables cuts out almost immediately after playback begins...

@USAFret I will be keeping the HDD's in my new system

I'm going to migrate my old PC into a new small form factor case. Currently it has a 1TB HDD which is the boot drive and a 500gb HDD. When I transfer it to my new case and add the SSD I'm going to install windows to the SSD. Do I have to worry about the C: directory transferring to the SSD or...

For such lightweight tasks the i3 would be perfect. Really for just that you could go even cheaper. But just in case you ever decide to do anything more intensive I'd go with the i3. If you don't already plan on getting one I'd use the money saved on the i3 getting an SSD to install your OS on...

From looking at the specs of the PSU and the specs of your components I'd say you're well within the limits of your PSU. That PSU might not be the best out there but you've left enough head room that you shouldn't come close to maxing out that PSU.

@JackNaylorPE those temps and voltages were measured using HWinfo. I also repeated the same tests with HWinfo closed and realtemp measuring. Realtemp agrees with HWinfo. And yes it was core temps. I was also skeptical of the results. But I've tried several monitoring softwares. Not at the same...
