    CPU upgrade, unfortunately that is going to require a new mobo and ram as well, the games you listed will run at 144hz no problem on a 1060 6gb card at 1080p but are cpu bound as they are not very demanding graphically. So 7th or 8th gen i5 or i7 or any of the ryzen lineup at or above a ryzen 5 1600 would be ideal imo

    Do you have access to another gpu? Even if it's older, just to narrow it down to the card and not the rest of the system.

    That looks like the hdd had a short bridging the data connector with the power connector. I would guess that your system is fine but I bet that sata port or even that sata chipset is fried. If it's a decent quality mobo it will have voltage checks between the ports and the rest of the board.

    I have the same power supply but the 650w version, and that website recommends 679 watts for my setup, the fans on that psu have only ever turned on under prime95 with furmark running at the same time with heavy overclocks, the fans don't turn on until the psu hits 50% utilization. So clearly the website is recommending double the PSU needed, at least in my case. I tested it from the wall a while back and I remember not breaking 300 watts while running heaven. You are good.

    Fair point, I just meant in general, I did find a vid for witcher 3 at 900p the gpu sits around 80-90% so that's not bad. Assassins creed will crush this cpu no doubt though. EDIT: I should say I think the 1050 is a worthy card for this cpu tho at it's price point, wouldn't bother with a 1030.

    In a lot of games it will most definitely bottleneck a 1050, here is one example in GTA an old game at this point.

    If you are video editing for 200 quid take the extra IPC of the 8700k, or you can bump up to an 8 core ryzen 1700, It overlcocks the same as an 1800x, or did last i played with those chips a few months back.

    If you have a manual overclock keep it off, if not turn it on. Looking at your HWmonitor it looks like you have it on already.

    This is a pretty old chip, when was the last time you replaced the thermal compound? TIM loses it's effectiveness over time and if left long enough can actually become quite hard and solid, especially cheap stuff. Another contributor could be the aging power conditioning capacitors on your motherboard. How old is that fan on the 212? It may need to be oiled, old fans that have not been serviced tend to lose their operating output as the bearings become stiff.

    Check your jumpers. if you have for example the clear cmos jumper on clear it will not boot. I'm not familiar with this board in particular but a lot of older and workstation boards have jumpers for voltages and on/off switches.

    No, I was absolutely serious, windows has a thing about file sharing and time sync, if the time and date are mismatched it will not allow you to share with another windows machine.

    Make sure the time is the same on your laptop and desktop.

    Should be fine the OEM that makes these is decent, only question is how old and used is it? Google fu says this model has been around like 5 years. If it's well traveled it may have some worn out caps and not be sufficiently reliable.

    This has to be a troll, 1 post, and who would spend this much money unnecessarily but cheap out on the boot drive? The monitor they picked isn't even the g-sync version.
  15. mortino
    You would use some sort of cloning software like acronis and to set the new drive as primary boot, you change the boot priority in the bios afterwards.

    Maybe I'm confused. what I gathered was that the ram was unstable at 3000mhz with the xmp timings.
  17. mortino
    I don't think it is updates for me, I get even when on wireless and have it set as a metered connection, I think it's the telemetry stuff.
  18. mortino
    I think you meant loosening the timings. Could be confusing to the OP.

    Probably just windows 10 doing it's background shenanigans, I get this on my laptop a fair bit, still haven't figured out everything to turn off.
  20. mortino
    I wouldn't worry about it.
  21. mortino
    Run AIDA64 instead, to my knowledge prime95 is still on the black list for stability testing.

    I would disconnect all drives you don't want to be your boot drive just to illuminate that hurtle. You repair the drive you want to be your boot drive.

    I had this happen way back, when installing the same version of windows on a new drive instead of cloning, didn't even realize it until i removed the old drive from the system and windows wouldn't boot anymore. There is a command to write the bootloader into the mbr, I'll see if I can find it. EDIT: https://neosmart.net/wiki/fix-mbr/#Fix_the_MBR_with_Easy_Recovery_Essentials Don't know anything about the tool they offer but the command lines are there, scroll down to windows 10.

    Ok a few questions. what kind of TIM are you using, what metals are you using for your blocks, do you have a chunk of silver in your loop, or any kind of anti bacterial agent? What liquid and additives are you using?
  25. mortino
    Ya, totally depends on what you have now, last i heard 11 series cards were slated for end of the year or q1 2019 but really if you have anything above a 750ti i'd just wait.
