    Question My Desktop keeps shutting down, On Hwinfo64, the AVCC voltage keeps dropping until the pc shuts down.

    So, my pc keeps shutting down randomly. PSU IS corsair rm850x shift. It started this issue after about 10 days of use. Now, the first time it happened, i gave it a break for about 16 hours, then turned of my pc. It started working, but this time i kept an eye on PSU voltages on hwinfo64. What...

    Question CPU voltage and stability questions ?

    I've got an i7-13700KF that I haven't used much because I've been travelling. If I assume there has been no degradation, is it recommended to update to the newest BIOS (0x12B) and what voltages should I aim to keep the CPU under during stress testing with cinebench to avoid instability and...

    Question PC display turns off, no other systems affected, display only comes back after a restart ?

    Hey, Been dealing with this for a while. The essence of the issue is that my display gets cut and will not come back without a restart of my system. I built a PC a few years ago mainly for gaming, but as of recent I havent really been playing any games. I have 2 monitors, one of which is...

    [SOLVED] To use my monitor overseas, will a simple plug adapter be enough?

    I have a monitor that is rated 100-240V at 50-60Hz powered with a C13 cable (type E plug, 230V) To use it at 100V 50Hz, will using one of the cheap plug adapters be enough? Or do I need something more? Thank you!

    Question 14700K VID going over 1.5V in gaming - is that normal?

    The core VIDs on my 14700K are boosting up to 1.547V peak under gaming loads, Though they don't stay there constantly and come back down to around 1.44V frequently. On idle (sitting on desktop) VID is around 0.7V Vcore saw a peak of 1.492V under those same gaming loads. Idle Vcore is similar to...

    Question Low 12v voltage under load

    I need some help. Recently looked at HWinfo voltage readings and the 12v readings were very bad, 12v on the motherboard normally is 12.4v but under load it drops to 11.5v. On the GPU side it's even worse. The minimum voltage on the 8pin cable drops to 11.2v under load but normally is 12.4v. The...

    I bought a Japanese PS5, I live and Argentina

    So long story short, I bought a PS5 on a store (model CFI-1200A), which ended up being japanese, the thing is: console and manual say 100V ~ 3.55A 50/60MHz, can I safely plug it? Argentina is 220V 50Hz. If not, can I use a transformer? I was recommended a 700W in a store (i think is an overkill).
