Hi all, My PC sometimes just restarts by itself when I launch my warzone. I have a high suspicion that is cause by my CPU load. CPU never goes above 80C and gpu is essentially capped at 20%. Probably because the CPU bottlenecks it. CPU load hovers around 90-100% when playing. I make sure that...

I'm overclocking my i7 6700k on a Z170-A mobo. I was using the mobo's "EZ Tuning" feature to get a benchmark for how much I can overclock my CPU on this board before manually setting it. It has essentially 3 different tuning settings and each seemed to give me higher than normal Vcore values...

I have a Asus Z170i Pro Gaming motherboard that seems to be otherwise completely functional, but it only retains BIOS settings as long as it's connected to a power source. If I unplug the power or switch off the power supply, all my BIOS settings are lost. I tried another CMOS coin battery from...

So if you see my previous thread I got a refurbished gigabyte motherboard after the one I had fried because of improper repair by Gigabyte. The were generous enough to replace with another board under warranty. But it didn't boot with my Corsair vengeance LPX 3000Mhz (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15R) 16GB...
