power draw

I've been noticing that my pc shuts off while trying to play more intensive games (DRG, TWW), and the event viewer gives me a 6008 code. I've already replaced my old 600w power supply with a new one, but the computer still shuts off during testing. Is it my build? Is 600w enough, or do I need...

Hi, Got PC built from new components, and ~50% of the times I start it it has a weird behavior of being quiter than should be, and performing worse than it should, at lower power draw. It doesn't seem to affect CPU although I could be wrong. The hallmark of it is GPU being at fine working...

Hi everyone! I have an issue with youtube playback, and generally browser based video playback. I have a 4k LG monitor and a 4080 Zotac oc GPU, just recently upgraded. The issue is when i watch a youtube video 1080p, 1440p at 1/4 screen the gpu power draw is around 16w. But if i watch the same...

I’m completely stumped with my new power supply, it’s the be quiet dark power 12 850w titanium and I can’t figure out the power cables. I’m guessing the mother board is the 20+8 pin that goes to a 24 as that’s the same as old power supply. However I can’t figure out the cpu, on my old power...

Hey everyone, Yesterday I helped a friend pick out parts for a new build at Micro Center. We found some insane deals, notably a PowerColor RX 6900 XT Red Devil for $650 open box. Obviously I had them spring for that card; that is just insane. However, they were on a set budget, and in order to...

Hello Lately I have this issue in Red dead redemption 2 where I get sudden FPS drop from 80 - 100 FPS to 4 FPS. Normally the GPU is using 220-230 watts of power, but before the lag happens I noticed that my GPU hits around 7.4 GB of Vram allocation and 6.2-ish GB of actual Vram used by the game...

Hi all, Trying to decipher a strange problem..... Only thing I can think of is power, but even then, it doesn't make too much sense in my head. Picked up a Chromecast with GoogleTV. Getting 250up/down via Wifi, but I have Gigabit internet, so wanted a wired connection here. Looked at a few...

Hey, guys. I have a GA-AX370-Gaming 5 and had seen months ago that it's supposed to support the 3950X with a BIOS update. Yesterday I finally got the CPU, and when I installed it after updating the BIOS, the computer failed to POST. I've already sent a support request to Gigabyte, so that's not...

I have PBO enabled on my mobo and in Ryzen Master, and I have a fairly beefy 6 heat pipe 2 fan cooler on my CPU. I use CPUID HWMonitor to pull all of my stats on my second monitor while running Cinebench on the primary display. When I run Cinebench R20, the CPU package pulls 120 Watts at around...

So I have Masterbox TD500, yes there are better cases, but i have what I have. It has 3 fans running on molex (as the cables were a tad short to reach the headers on their own), I found a 3 way splitter in my things, it would allow me to get a fan curve to let the computer run a little quieter...

I have them on the opposite side of where my tv is, but I should move them to near my tv?

Hello, I have Windows 10 Pro and I was wondering if I could create a favorites menu like the "Most used" section marked on the image below. I would like to have Google Chrome, Steam, Task Manager and a few others kinda pinned to the top of the App list. I don't just want to get rid of the...

Hello all. Having trouble finding a reasonably priced SSD M.2 drive. Already made the mistake of buying a PCIe version rather than a SATA. (samsung 960 evo) The drive is for the ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ Motherboard http://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/H110%20Pro%20BTC+/index.asp#Specification Drive...

So How much feet is for the displayport cable to plug in to my graphics card?
