I don't like to use other recorders because of the overhead. I decided to use OBS, and it has so much overhead that my 970 that I just slotted in went from 200FPS on minecraft to ~45. But that might be a considerable option. I had the 970 in at one point, but it kicked out too much heat and...

I'm trying to record for my YouTube channel (started it to report hackers on Hypixel, might as well do stuff for it), and I need to screen record. At first, it worked fine. This was before YouTube. Then it suddenly just stopped working. I have reset the Windows Store cache and reset the app in...

Buying an AMD Athlon 200GE just before the Ryzen 5 3400G released. Now I'm going to do the smart thing and grab a Ryzen 7 4700G when it comes out instead of instantly grabbing a 3400G just for Renoir desktop to come out a month or two later.

Are you sure you're using the correct drivers? I have a good feeling that te wrong drivers could mess this up, though I haven't had this type of problem. If you have a discrete GPU, maybe try installing only the drivers for one of the GPUs and seeing how it does?

Not yet, I'll try that. Edit: I had to shut out a bunch of my tabs, mainly YouTube videos, since they were sucking up my internet. After that and waiting a bit on Steam, my downloads were back to normal. Thanks for the help though.

Network Info: Using ProtonVPN, that's about all I can see in my settings and myself, no info on 2.4/5GHz Today I was having really weird issues trying to download stuff. For some reason, when I try to download anything (began trying to download BEEmod 2.4 for Portal 2 editor), it goes SUPER...

You've got to be very selective with Cooler Master and Thermaltake PSUs. There are some good ones, and there are some that are some of the junkiest power supplies ever. Also keep in mind that if the PSU has an LED or RGB fan, you're likely paying more for the fan's features than for the actual...

mITX can be boards or GPUs. Motherboards are (usually) fine, but it's the graphics cards you want to avoid. Those are usually single-fan, lower-grade cards. The GTX 1070 Ti in there is a full-size (so, to be honest, it probably wouldn't even fit), You might as well avoid the GPU if possible...

Some people on PCPP discovered the NZXT software forces you to let it track your purchases and stuff like that. Personally, I don' believe it, but just thought I'd tell you. Look at some of the coolers and you should find the review with wording along the lines of "the software just [censored]s...

Temps are around 50C after a ton of Dying Light, the game that turns the PC into a space heater.

I'll tell my dad about it. Not sure he'll like Toms Hardware though since (most of) the techies in my fam think they have more experience than anyone else, but whatever. It's worth a try. He's got too much junk on here to lose it now.

Few things: #1: Please use 3000MHz RAM or faster. Will improve performance quite a bit. #2: 400W EVGA is not the best idea. The problem is that it seems to be in the W series, and quoting DarkBreeze, EVGA has some good and bad units: W series is a not-very-good one. Check the PSU tier list 2.0...

The motherboard and RAM are stuff I recommend. Just a good idea of what you could get. Maybe CCTV isn't very GPU intensive, I don't do CCTV stuff too much. But this will at least get you started and you can swap parts if you want. Just... try to avoid the tiny mITX cards, ok? They run hotter...

38 C right now on CPU and mobo. It's an FX CPU so I'm surprised it even runs this cool. Dad has a Cooler Master 240MM AIO, so maybe that has something to do with it? I've seen PCs leak and still work for a little bit.

Only one restart, and about an hour ago. Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) Version (no idea) Once Dad took a GTX 970 out to put in my PC, but he just got another one. Nothing much. He hasn't cleaned it in who knows how long. Will download HWMonitor, I have it on my home PC and laptop and it seems to...
