CPU: So it sounds like I should just turn throttling back on. Got it. Thanks!

I'd test your RAM, maybe try and unmount and remount your RAM to see if that fixes it. Also ensure you have the RAM socketed in the primaries and not secondary slots. I'd try to unmount and remount your GPU, incl. cables. I'd try to use a flashlight to look into the ports for the DP/HDMI cables...

I'd recommend a GTX 1060. You'd get a pretty good deal on Newegg right now as the GPU market's relaxing a bit on there right now. I'm assuming you play on 1080p. If so, then yes, a GTX 1060 is definitely ideal for you, as it gives you a little bit of wiggle-room in case you wanted to branch...

Yeah 80 Degrees is definitely a bit intense. Did you mount the pump correctly? They can be a bit awkward. I'd try and re-apply thermal paste and re-mount the pump. You might need an extra set of hands to do it properly, if you have an extra set available at home. Just to hold it down and steady...

Hello! Welcome in! :D Is it a new CPU cooler? It's common for a new AiO(All in One. Pre-made instead of custom built) water cooler to be a bit spikey the first month or so of being used. Think of it like a new shoe. Better, sure, but not quite as comfortable as the old one yet! Mine did the same...

CPU: i7 9700K Overclocked to 5.0GHz Average Temp(Cel): 35 idle / 65 stress test / 70 max ever seen Cooling system: AiO Corsair Elite Capellix water cooler. Top-mounted radiator. Voltage: 1.400 static Turned off throttling based on work load, so my CPU's non-stop always sitting at 5 GHz, instead...

My wife was playing WoW on her laptop when her game started lagging horribly. Eventually it froze up and she had to hard reset it. When we turned it back on the external monitor stayed off as if it wasn't plugged in. Checked all cords connections etc nothing is unplugged. Changed hdmi cable no...

Corsair RM1000 (1000w) PSU. Rez is 1440p and I have the refresh rate at 165 atm Yes it will

I'm planning on upgrading my GPU on Cyber Monday, but I wanna make sure I don't screw myself over with this buy. So I do what I've done for years now, and come to you guys for help! My current motherboard is https://www.newegg.com/msi-z390-a-pro/p/N82E16813144219?Item=N82E16813144219 Is it...

Hey guys. Wanted to get some insight into how much faster I've made my 9700K, if at all possible. I managed to find a stabile clock of 5050 MHz with 1.352 volts. After running a Cinebench R23 multi thread benchmark, the temps were stabile at 73-76 C. I tried a Single Core bench, which I scored...

View: https://imgur.com/a/d6oiT7m 9700K cooled by an H100i Elite Capellix AIO liquid cooler. The high temps on the right is while running a 10 minute stress test through CPU-Z. I was unable to ever push it above a consistent 65 C. Rate my temps? EDIT: Oh I almost forgot to ask. Sometimes my...

Hey everyone! So I just got done installing an AIO liquid cooler. It's working like a charm, though I took off the OOTB thermal paste and applied my own. 3 or so C's colder after that. However, I'm running at ~59-63 C when using CPU-Z for a stress test. I think I can do better than that, and...

I only tried till I discovered that the old cable doesn't fit in the other PSU at all. I tried buying the cable I linked in my post. It doesn't do anything. It just gives the error message in the pic. The cable works, and fits beautifully in the PSU, but when I turn the PC on, that error message...

I have a SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM power supply in my daughter's PC. It's a pretty old one by now I guess. Bought it in 2016. Anyway, I tried putting it in my daughter's computer, which now has my old GTX 980 in it. The cable it used to have in my case with my own Corsair PSU does not fit...

I'm using a cooler master heat sink with a fan attached to it. It's cooled down perfectly fine before. In fact it was skirting 90 C. I realized that something was up so I took off the heatsink and re-did the thermal paste. That fixed it. And yes I can confirm that. No I'm running 1 monitor atm...
