I have been playing AC Odyssey in 4k the past few days (runs around 40fps which works for me when couch gaming), and my RTX is hitting the low 80s almost as soon as I start the game up. I can't feel any kind of airflow generated by the exhaust fan on the back of the case. I checked to see if it...

Going with a Ryzen 2600 and I could save a few bucks by shopping a the local micro center for a motherboard combo. I noticed the msi has a weaker audio codec and no optical (I do have the z5500 speakers which have optical). A small overclock would be nice, but I'll probably be content with...

My i7 9700K will sometimes be seen throttling down to 4.6ghz despite my 5ghz overclock. I have turned vdroop along with all other power settings to their maximum. Temperatures are also safe at 60-65c so it cannot be a thermal issue. All help would be appreciated and if you need any more info...

I am wanting to overclock my processor, and I'm wondering if it's possible. If it is how would I be able to do it, I believe I would most likely need to go into the bios settings, when I was in there I didn't find too much about it, all I found out was BCLK, which I figured out wouldn't help me...

Without going too deep into specs on the individual parts...two systems...both with GTX1080, both with mostly comparable RAM amount and speed (~200 MHz difference). GPU are directly comparable. Ryzen 1700 with the slower RAM vs i5 8600k. Both OC and air cooled. R7 @ 3.7, i5 @ 4.5. Both run...
