I have this issue where my screen is flickering and it's very annoying. I tried to delete the drivers and reinstall, but it made no difference. I even tried bypassing the video card and plugging direct into the motherboard. I'm wondering if this could be a power supply issue? Should I try...

Nevermind I figured it out. I was using the wrong header pins for the power switch lol

Hello, after upgrading my CPU, then later my motherboard, I decided to build a second computer. I just removed the working motherboard a few days ago and built the new PC with it. I purchased a new CPU and hooked it up to a PSU that was working before I upgraded it. After everything was hooked...

One thing I'm noticing is the max core frequency during idle.(red on the chart) Do you notice on the B250 that it's pinned at 4.32ghz even when it's idling before and after the test...but on the z270 the idle core frequency is getting down to 1ghz or so when it's idling before and after the...

I do notice that the VRM is right next to where my radiator is located at the top of the case....

Yes it’s a 7700k. Sorry forgot to mention that

Essentially it looks like even though the z270 is reaching a higher max frequency, it's spending more time at lower frequencies during the test, due to the difference in the spike patterns. I could post some screens shots of both tests later today when I get home from work.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'd blame the issue on the MoBo, but this is actually my second Z270 I've tried with the exact same issue. I got the first one back in Jan. as an open box and returned it assuming I got a bad board. I ended up just going back to using my b250 for a while. Recently...

So, the motherboard looks like this: and the plug from my PSU looks like this: Notice how on the right side of the plug, they're all semi-round, where on the MoBo that side is a mixture of square and semi-round? Will that cause any issues? I'm asking because it hooked up and seems to be...

Thanks bmockeg. Maybe that explains the lower CPU benchmark in spite of the higher clock speed on the z270. I'm going to do a clean install and see if that helps it.
