It's been a few years since I've been logged into the forum but I still follow along with the videos - mainly WAN. If all that was put out is true, and it appears to be, it's extremely disappointing. The hasty response from Linus is also incredibly disappointing. It would be nice to see the new CEO step up and attempt to rectify the issues currently plaguing LTT; maybe all y'all really need is to slow down to speed up. I know I didn't have much to say - most of it has been said by others - but it's a bummer to see what is currently transpiring. Fingers crossed that this leads to actual improvements in the future. Cheers!

Removed the two new sticks and it hasn't crashed after three games (which is really good for this POS). Now I wonder why the same memory with the same timings was having issues unless one of the sets may be slightly faulty or lesser quality and cause stability issues.

It runs a few degrees cooler now but after looking it up, high 70's to low 80's are normal for the 980 ti under load. So changing the paste helped but it seems that it wasn't really that much of an issue to start. Thanks y'all!

Good evening y'all! I'm having some fun issues with Warzone after changing my CPU and GPU and adding extra memory; didn't have any issues prior. It will crash at various points when in Warzone on either map in any game mode and tonight I finally got a BSOD. Current setup - EVGA 980ti, i7-9700k, 32GB of Corsair Dom Plat LED 3000mhz ram (4x8GB), MSI Z370-A Pro, 650W Corsair PSU, H80i CPU cooler. I've tried changing thermal paste on the 980ti and 9700k but both are running in low-moderate temps when under load so I don't think that's an issue. The motherboard has crap for cooling fins so maybe it's overheating and causing crashes thanks to the 9700k which wasn't originally supported? Or maybe the second set of Corsair Dom Plat LED's is erroneous? I'm gonna try removing the new ram here shortly but just looking for some ideas if y'all have experienced the same. My next thought after memory is replacing the board with a Z390 that has adequate cooling fins. Included below are the two of the crash error codes that Warzone has generated. Thanks for any help!

Gnarly, thanks! Just picked up some MX-4. I'll post an update to whether or not it worked

Rad! I'll try that next. Tried the other three already with no success. Been out of the game for a few years - any new and fancy thermal pastes?

Airflow is fine; three 120mm fans in, three 120mm fans out Not a blower; EVGA ACX 2.0 cooler Haven't wanted to dissect the card yet; saving that for last Cooler is clean; no dust or debris What's the lifespan of thermal paste on a GPU?

Howdy y'all, My card is running HOT. See the Hardware Monitor stats from a single Warzone game (1080p, all minimum graphics settings). Running decent fan setup. Any idea why it's so spicy?

Damn, that first post is an old photo... here's an updated one!

It recommends 500W for overall system usage.

Just get a wifi card, as you said you are going to do.

Not sure, TBH

Ram is only guaranteed for the speed that is on the box and on the sticks. Overclocking RAM, just like CPU's, is a crab-shoot; you may have gotten golden sticks for overclocking and he may have poop that wont go more than a few hundred MHz over stock rating. It varies - only way is to test it and find out!

Try posting again when you're not tired.

Looks like a general 4-pin power cable? They usually plug into a cable on the PSU, not the mobo.

Then get him and install for him an AIO cpu cooler, zip tie some cables to clean it al up, and let him use it until he complains or until it dies.

If its on 5 now, that's not as bad as 30 hours?

Mistyped

It sounds like the middle option is better bang for the buck than the latter option. And due to speed, I wouldnt get the first one.

I cant see a reason why it'd take 30 hours. the IPSW files arent large enough to require that much time with 97 kbs down. Maybe try reinstalling iTunes?

Has to be to download an update... As a reply to the original question, sounds like your internet is slow AF if iTunes will take 30 hours. Run to Starbucks, download and install it, and come home.

You can get an EVGA 600 80+ Bronze for $50. Less for lesser wattage. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438014&cm_re=evga_psu-_-17-438-014-_-Product
