    Question GPU new thermal pads suggestion?

    I'd like to change the thermal pads on my ASUS TUF RTX 3090, as the memory is running very hot when at full load. Can anyone recommend some great thermal pads for this 3090 that I could order off amazon uk? Along with what thickness / size to choose? I've fully assembled computers lots of...

    [SOLVED] Ram sticks running at different speeds with XMP on

    Also, since they seem to work for now even though they aren't a kit, there's still a chance they might be unstable, right?

    [SOLVED] Ram sticks running at different speeds with XMP on

    I've uploaded here: View: https://imgur.com/a/4brtsV4 an image of the "Memory" tab of CPU-Z, and the "SPD" tab with one image for each ram slot The Memory tab shows 3000MHz speed, but the ram slots in SPD show 3000MHz for two of them, 3200MHz for the other two. So I guess I'm not sure if...

    [SOLVED] Ram sticks running at different speeds with XMP on

    So for a while now I've had two corsair hyper x vengeance 8GB RAM sticks, running in dual channel at 3000MHz. Now I bought another two hyper x vengeance 8GB 3200MHz sticks, because there weren't any 3000MHz for sale anymore. I enabled XMP expecting all four of them to run at 3000MHz, maybe in...

    [SOLVED] Is my PSU good enough for an RTX 3090?

    I'm going to buy an rtx 3090, as an upgrade from my 1080Ti, and I'm wondering if i need to get a better PSU for it. My current one is an 850W EVGA Supernova 850 G2 80+ Gold, that i've been using since October 2018, with the 1080Ti. Is it maybe too old at this point, to still be reliable? Or is...

    Question Computer randomly freezes and then restarts, possible ram issue?

    The PSU is 2 years and 1 month old. I believe the cooler does touch the upper side of the RAM, but the RAM itself is covered in plastic, so I thought it wouldn't do any harm if they touched. The cooler is so large that it actually covers the two RAM sticks, but I think it doesn't support its...

    Should i let my PSU warm up first?

    Just got a new PSU an hour and a half ago, but it arrived a little cold, since it's winter. Should i let it get warmer before turning the PC on? I'm a little afraid of condensation, don't really know how it works.

    Computer won't turn on after power outage

    after a power outage yesterday, my PC would no longer turn on when i pressed the power button. I assumed the PSU died, but i still tested it on my cousin's PC and it worked. Also, i tested his PSU, which was functional, on my system and it didn't work. Does that mean my motherboard is the thing...
