I've seen videos of people running 12c CPU's on it flawlessly, so that can't be the issue.

Hey all, so I have an i7 5960x cpu mounted in China's finest, a Huananzhi x99 motherboard. I have literally just finished the build and noticed it's using very high %'s for cpu in all instances. Idle is like 35% and gaming is always 99% which I highly doubt should be the case. I only play light...

Hey all, Long time no post! I've been looking at alternatives to gaming CPU's that will allow me to explore things like 3d design and game development (and still have a decent gaming experience). So naturally I though if going to xeon.... Mainly for the price! Anyways, what would you all...

There are also PCIe 1x to usb adapters, that come with this or similar items. Basically its a usb cable, and a mini pcie (1x) card that has a usb plug on it, I'm sure you could use it the other way round though as its a double male usb cord. Google USB to PCIE and it is very easy to spot...

I got roasted for this a little while ago lol because I put my fans weird... Honestly keep it simple! In the front, out the back and top. I wouldn't really worry about the side fans. Ideally, line the front fans up with the cpu cooler for fresh cool air but whatever you can make work, don't...

In terms of the error... its super common. Check this out and if the symptoms follow what you are reading, its worth trying it out. https://www.kapilarya.com/fix-event-10016-error-the-application-specific-permission-settings-do-not-grant-local-activation-permission-in-windows-10

check to make sure they are plugged in to the correct headers... and make sure you plugged the cpu fan in to the cpu fan header on the motherboard and not the case fan. I would check to see if the cooler is lose or too tight, as that can affect things. Could also be the amount of thermal paste...

Faster ram, for the money you can get a 3200 or 3400mhz kit. It will help out a bit in performance. Your choice of CPU/MOBO is good. The only other thing is the gpu, Based on my location... those gpu's are showing up as $500 (+/-) and you could potentially get a 1080, 2060, or even a 2nd gen gtx...

Just keep an eye on the dust buildup and temps. I'd say check it monthly and clean it as needed every 2,3,4 months... Since you do use it a fair amount, I wouldn't let it go more than 3 months before you give it a quick dusting.

Running a zotac 1050ti now that I maxed out clock wise. In terms of your suggestion, I have played around with it and under the usage I do it utilized all 8 threads, hence why I think moving to an 8 core cpu may be beneficial as it will allow me more head room... or even a 6 core. I find it...

Display drivers, for the GPU and if possible windows. Or your chipset if they are available. Otherwise a fresh install of windows may fix things.

Then in that case, It is most likely a driver issue. I'd suggest using DDU (display driver uninstaller) and start from scratch... if display drivers don't fix it try updating windows and all your drivers along with it.

For whatever reason I can't get your links to open so I'll do this blind... 90-95% of performance issues is due to thermal throttling (in laptops). There could also be other contributing factors like the single stick of ram, could be driver issues, or it may be too strenuous on the machine. When...

As of late, I have been catching up on all the new tech, and boy oh boy have we got an interesting market. Both with the advancements in hardware and because of how bonkers pricing has become. I'm more of a team blue than team red, but at this point I am willing to consider anything. Core count...
