Probably I'm the last one to know this, but just in case someone comes across this issue: the GCC will override the fan settings in AMD Adrenaline (and other control apps like Afterburner) and sometimes cause this error message. It took me 3 days to figure out what was happening and why my...

I bought one of these little guys to go on my OS drive which is right up against my GPU. Originally I had a different block-style heatsink on the drive and it was hovering around 70C when I was gaming, which is acceptable but far from ideal. I just wanted to give it a try, as for $16 its not a...

How did I not know this was a thing? Do all the Nvidia reference cards have it? Who decided to make the logo white only though? My brain hurts.

I don't really know what to say. I booted the machine up today and it was stuttery as hell, I'm trying to figure out why looking at RAM and all sorts of stuff, then I see this: I think I've about had it with AM5 in general.

My Sapphire 7900XTX Pulse has had a really big temp to hotspot delta since I bought it, out of the box it was like 84C/110C. I pulled the heatsink and found there was almost no paste on it and the corners weren't covered, so I repasted it. This dropped the hotspot to around 100C with core temps...

I took a chance on this stuff because it was on the QVL for my board, an Asus B650-A Strix. It’s listed at 6400 but I popped it in and ran EXPO II and it trained immediately at 6800mhz 1T. The timings aren’t bad either at 38-42-42. The one I got is PN PGD5U68A38XX7-S1WC. My 7950X3D refuses to...

Does anyone have this screen? I saw it when I was in Best Buy yesterday and it looks really, really nice as far as image quality goes. Its a 27" 1440p 240hz IPS, it was sat next to the Asus 27" OLED and looked just as good (on the desktop anyways) for only $429. I wasn't able to really find any...

This just popped up last night, this is my spare 1080p BenQ monitor. It’s a very expensive turd as a 240hz esports screen, but I never really used it because the colors are so beyond awful I just kept it as a spare for when I'm building or troubleshooting away from my main machine. If I change...

I'm pretty baffled by this, has anyone seen this before? I have a brand new WD SN850X 2TB, I was using it in my 12600K machine. I needed to transfer a large file from my main rig, about 200GB, so I just took the drive out and popped it in a slot and started the transfer. At exactly 50%, the...

$105 off, no idea how long it will last https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d-ryzen-9-7000-series/p/N82E16819113791

So I have a second rig set up and there is no capability to use a network cable there. Its a Ryzen 1800X on an ASRock B450m Pro4 rev 2.0 board. I have a TPlink wifi 6 add in card that works great, I've used it in a number of builds and it always maxes out my internet connection with no problem...

1)$SOLD - RTX 4080 Super FE - Was bought for a friends build, he decided to reneg on his commitment and left me holding the bag. I used it for a few days just to see how it was. Will trade straight across for a 7900XTX with no whine, prefer Gigabyte or Sapphire models. Original Nvidia box and...

I have my trusty Bose Companion 2s still, but the problem is to fit under my screen they have to be laid sideways. I don't have anywhere else for them to go, as its a 48" monitor and I have it mounted on a floor stand behind my desk. It makes the speakers sound wrong when they are laid on the...

I started playing Mechwarrior 5 again, having a fun time except I get this stupid pattern on the textures unless I turn DLSS ON. I'm 99.9% sure it is an Nvidia problem, because playing it on my other rig with 6900XT it looks perfectly normal. Does anyone know what causes this? Its UE4, and I've...

Kind of a weird thing, I have a second rig with an Asus X570 Tuf Wifi in it and a 5600X CPU. Both the onboard wired LAN and the onboard wifi do the same thing, say if I'm downloading a game or large file they will both reach about 35mb/s download speed and then taper off to 0, then stop for a...

I vaguely remember some problem with this a few years ago but I can't quite pull it out of the mush that is now my brain. I have a working GTX 1070, it works in my Z690 board and it also works in the Z170 board it came off of. I was attempting to get it to run in my X570/5600x machine and I get...

I don't have issues in other games that I'm aware of, but I get these linear shimmery things in Mechwarrior 5. I've tried all the settings up and down and can't figure out what might be causing it. I put a screenshot of the most obvious ones but it happens all over the screen. Anyone else see...

I have a 2TB m.2 that had windows 11 installed on it. All I want to do is format it to be a storage drive, but I can't do anything to it. Disk management can't do it, going into command prompt and using diskpart can't do it, using windows 10/11 installer USB can't do it. It keeps telling me...

So I thought it was my one old game that has always been a struggle with newer GPUs, but now I've tried several others today and I've found my 3070ti is absolutely STUCK at around 345mhz in games. Interestingly, graphing the GPU clocks as soon as you close the game and go back to the desktop it...

I am currently using a 48 inch OLED as a monitor, and so I decided to set up a 10 minutes rotation background and hide the taskbar as I generally have smaller windows open for my current programs and I figured having the rest of the screen change periodically would be beneficial for the screen...

Not going to be using this stuff so I'd rather it move on to a new home. I powered it up to make sure it works and then decided to keep my 12700k rig and not fiddle with migrating my OS. - Brand new 5800X from AMD (RMA replacement) - Brand new MSI B550-A Pro motherboard - 32GB Team DDR4 3200...

So I finally received my replacement Asus X570 TUF motherboard and 5800X from AMD after RMA-ing them for a blue screen crash while gaming that I couldn't fix for months, and now I have a different issue (go figure). There is now a 100% consistent 1hz "stutter" all the time no matter what. Like...

Got this card from another user on here a while ago, and while it performs great in 99% of tasks, the ONE game I play the most doesn't play nice with AMD drivers. I would like to trade it straight across for something like a 3070/3070ti/3080, or alternatively I will sell it for $975 shipped...

I've been buying Ryzen chips since they came out and recommending them to everyone. I've probably put together 30 different machines with them by now. But trying to RMA my 5800X that has constant WHEA errors unless I shut all the C-states off, disable PBO and CPB, and change it to PCI-E 3.0 is...

So I just got this setup up and running, I have a 12700K and an MSI Z690-A DDR4 board. I currently have two choices for RAM here, wondering which way to go is better. Both are 3200mhz XMP settings, I have a G-Skill 2x16 kit that is 16-18-18-38 but I also have a Teamgroup 4x8 kit that is samsung...

So I've been having this problem for a few weeks now, not sure what exactly is happening here. This ONLY happens in games, this machine will run any stress test or benchmark for 20 hours straight with zero hiccups. If I try to play a game, in this instance the game is Fallout 76, it will blue...

So I just picked up a 6900XT from a user on here, and I'm seeing very strange issues with my EVGA power supplies hooked up to this card. Note that I did some searching and a few others with high end 6000 series cards have had the similar experiences when combined with EVGA power supply coil...

I have an EVGA 3070 with the XC3 cooler. Is this possible? I know they are designed to be off at idle up to a certain temp, and I can't find anything in the Precision software to stop this from happening. The fans on this thing rattle like a bastard when they spin up and its annoying as hell...

Building a rig for a disabled friend, his old 990FX stuff finally gave up the ghost. I have everything now except a windows key. Looking for 10 Pro preferably but 10 home is OK too. Used to be a few threads of key sellers but I don't see any here lately. Heat here...

I've had this thing collecting dust (literally) for a couple of years. I have no idea when I bought it, no PCI-E power connector so its probably not very fast. I tried to look at comparisons on google and I think its around a GTX 660? Maybe? Its an MSI 4GB OC model. I wanted to use it to set up...

I loved this game when it came out, then there was the whole stink with Curt Schilling and the game support just evaporated. Even so, the game was very complete and had minimal bugs so I played through it a lot. I had absolutely no idea there was an improved/remastered version that came out. I...

I have an AW3420, been trying to figure out how to make the lighting do what I want for a while now. I have finally after almost 6 months managed to sucessfully install the command center, but everything EXCEPT the FX section works. If I try to do anything with the lighting it wants me to get...

So I got a cheaper laptop on sale this weekend for some light games that I don't have to sit at the desk for like swtor. Its an MSI and came with 8GB of RAM in a single stick. I don't really want to buy anything else for this machine, but I happen to have two 4GB sticks of samsung 2666 RAM from...

I bought this mouse the other day because I really liked the shape and the left click had stopped working on the G305 I was using. This one is the basilisk x hyperspeed. It was on sale for $29 so I said why not. Its actually quite nice, but I can't get the damn thing to stay awake. If I stop...

Upgraded to a 3700X and 32GB so I'm selling these. 1) 2600X retail box w/cooler, never OC'd $SOLD 2) 16GB G-Skill DDR4 3200 C14 F4-3200C14D-16GFX $SOLD https://www.heatware.com/u/77525/to

Upgraded to a 2070 Super, card works great. Only 2 months old. MSI RTX 2060 Ventus OC SOLD. I prefer paypal. Heat here.

I did some searching on this and found lots of complaints but no solutions! I bought (stupidly) an Acer XB273K (4k/144 Gsync 2 27"). I got it all set up and was very impressed with everything except the blasted fan noise. I didn't know prior to buying it that it even had one so that was a...

I have had this screen for about 6 months, its a 3440x1440 100hz VA panel. Has been great but lately when the screen is white the right side is getting more and more yellow. Is this common on these things? I don't know how much of a pain in the butt Acer would be if I tried to warranty it...

My windows 10 install seems to have shit itself. Nothing changed, no updates of any kind. Turned the computer off so I could move it and clean the desk and this is what I get when I turn it back on.
