This has been fucking nightmare. For several months games that ran perfectly fine now started crashing. I've tried just about everything to find the cause, but nothing seems to fix it.
Things I've done so far:
Swapped memory (tested fine with memtest) Gskill Ripjaws V 3200, Trident Z 3200)...
Unsure what the hell is causing it, but Ghost Recon's Wildlands keep crashing. Breakpoint is also crashing. I've done every trick in the book to fix it, but nothing seems to work. Games are on a separate 6TB spinner drive.
Things I have done so far:
Uninstall/reinstalled both Steam & Ubisoft...
My rig as been running excellent up to when I upgraded my video card from an Evga 1080Ti Hybrid ( power hog & room heater) to an Evga 3080 12G Hydro Copper with the Evga 1000GQ power supply. Any time I put a heavy load on the 3080 (gaming) my rig shits the bed. These are the issues:

Up for grabs is a really nice monster of a card; Zotac's GTX 1070 AMP! Extreme video card.
Has served me well since the day I purchased it. Very well loved and hammered in terms of overclock with MSI Afterburner. (Well, this is [H], ain't it? :D ) With it's massive sink and triple fan, stayed...
As the title states: Looking for a reasonably priced replacement D5 pump. Current one is starting to act up. Figured I'd check here first.
Lemme know.
*Edit* FOUND!
Purchased an EK waterblock for my 1080Ti FTW3 from a member here, but doesn't have the crews (mounting hardware) for it. Thermal pads I have. Anyways I contacted EK and they can supply the screws needed.
What I like to know is which is the best way to have them ship it to me? They have 2...
As the title states: Looking for a waterblock for my Evga GTX 1080Ti FTW3 Hybrid. Purchased this card from a great member here and it's a fantastic card, but the lowly 120mm AIO gets severely heat saturated while heavy gaming and can't keep up. I added a 140mm fan with a 140mm/120mm adapter to...

Needed a new office chair badly because the chair I was using started showing it's age and leprosy had begun eating away at it. It was a high back executive's leather chair. I bought it used ( almost new) condition from a W.B.Mason distributor near me for $25. Couldn't beat that! Fast forward 6...
Upgrading an old-ish HP laptop and need ram. It currently has a 2gb & 4gb sticks. When HP builds cheap laptops, they sure know how to cut corners :rolleyes:
This is a simple laptop for research, so no need for high performance "gaming" ram if you catch my drift. Just some functional stuff...
Saw this and grabbed a pair for $20.99 & free shipping with prime on Amazon

Can never have enough flash drives :D
Oh what fun :rolleyes: , but my 15 year old son is asking for an RGB keyboard and mouse combo. I, personally, hate RGB and want no part of it. I don't mind a lit keyboard/mouse but the fruity colors just makes me wanna puke.
Anyhows now you know my take on this, and I know nothing about it...
Got my shiney new WD SN850 500gb M.2 drive today. Was all happy and installed it and did a fresh, clean OS install along with all the bells. I bench it and I'm no where's near the 7K mark for reads.Not even 6k. Even lower for writes. I bought the dam thing because I was tired of Adata's SX8200P...
I got me a 5800X for my new upgrade and I've been searching around for a new Cpu block. Apparently all the ones I want are all out of stock or for the higher end ones are all wayy overpriced. So I broadened my searching and came across several Bykski Cpu waterblocks.
I've seen their Gpu blocks...
A member here was selling some parts and I was interested in the cpu he had listed. I sent him a pm with an offer as to not crowd up the sale thread. I waited something like 15 hours for his reply and he accepted with " Yeah, I can do that". So I waited for him to send me his pp info so I can...

Decided enough was enough with that heater PNY drive that was degrading and snagged a Samsung SM961 256Gb M.2 drive from the SD site for under $40 bux.
Just did a quick clone of the main drive and swapped. Once it booted I did a quick Crystal Diskmark to see where it's at. Runs a helluva lot...
For those that have this board (like me) there has been a new bios update (V2.60) to fix the security issue with the IME.
Notes: Update Skylake CPU Microcode to revision C2 and Kabylake CPU Microcode to revision 84. (For CPU security update)
You can snag it here
I just updated mine. So...
In need of a windows 7 home premium x64 key for a dell laptop. Got about $10 in paypal if anybody can help a brutha out.
Thx!
Already contacted ickywu with no response.
Well I never thought this would happen in so short a time, but me thinks the PNY M.2 drive is failing. Jeff (Stereo55) and I spent the better part of last night troubleshooting a whole barrage of BSOD's. I never thought there would be that many back to back!

In need of a cheapo PCIE video card. Both my back-up cards are fucked (GTX 570/ATI X1800 XT) and now I don't have a spare when working on rigs. Ain't no way in hell imma use my 1070 or my 480.
Got 15 bux in pp at the ready.
As the title states. Looking for either a Z68 or a Z77 motherboard. Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte. Maybe MSI
Want to be able to get my 2500K to 4.5Ghz or better. Accessories not needed if you ain't got them, but would very much like the I/O shield. I know drivers can be had on the site. Not looking to...
Poking around on CL's freebies section you can find gems if you're persistent enough. I normally scour the freebies section and have come across some really good pc parts. Unfortunately those parts are posted in areas which are too far away. Not cost effective gas wise.
Well today doing my...
I'm having a "discussion" with PNY's tech support named "Bruce" about my NVME drive.
In less than 90 days of having it, the health percentage dropped a point and it has over 3.0TB of writes :eek: I don't have anything on the drive aside from the OS. All my proggies, games, music & movies are...
I've had this block for a while. Brand new and used once on my RX480. Thinking of slapping it on my 1070. Temps on air while gaming hover around 60c @ 2000/4600 and power limit @ 120% on air with a decent fan profile.
Rad is a Coolgate CG480 and 8 fans in push/pull and only the chip is under...

Clearing some stuff out. Not interested in trades.
Creative Sound Blaster Z sound card only.
Comes in white retail box with original documentation & driver CD. This is the version with the red ring around the chip. No RGB and No Red Cover. Still the same card.
Price: $45 shipped Via USPS...
Just snagged 2 of these super cheap and hooked them up in Raid-0 for my games drives. Surprised they run really cool temp wise and in raid-0 fast enough for my games storage. Had a 2TB Toshiba Red for mt games (Steam, Origin, Uplay) and in no time I had 4gb left of space.
Copied everything over...
Ordered this drive a few days ago while it was an egg deal for $98.99. Got it yesterday and installed it. Tried using Acronis to clone my SSD over to the M2 and for some uncanny reason fucker Acronis would not clone the drive. Tried several times and all it did was stay stuck on stupid and...

Wanted an M2 nvme drive, but my pockets didn't reach that far. I'll wait for Father's Day sales and snag one.
Should arrive in a few days via...
As the title states. Downsized my psu and I have no need for this monster. Purchased from Oklahoma Wolf as a review sample and gently used for about a year. My kill-o-watt meter shows a max draw from the wall @ 380watts which doesn't even make this unit flinch and is wayy overkill for my needs...
Picked this rad up a few weeks ago, and decided to swap out rads as I was gonna add my 1070 into my loop. I was using an XSPC RX360 with 6 BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM fans in push/pull and got really good temps.
Anyways fast forward to yesterday. I go about swapping rads only, and adding a pair...
Yup. Up for sale is a gently used, about a month or so old, Non-reference RX480 Video card. Decided to go team green and picked up a 1070, so this sucka has to go.
Recieved this as an RMA replacement (Brand new) from PowerColor for a defective 390. Will include an invoice and will help if RMA...
