This got me excited. I thought this may be the solution I've been looking for. It didn't work :,(

When I was transferring the card to the other system, I double checked the fan connectors on the card. All was normal. Everything worked fine and was detected fine in this other system and the problem persisted when I put the card back into the new system.

Tried on latest and also tried rolling back

Simply because the faster ram was too expensive. Only using one stick as I plan to upgrade to 32gb in the future (mobo only has 2 slots).

This is a bit of a weird one. I've recently built a new PC (but retained the same GPU, PSU and storage). I've got an AMD 2600 in a Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI with 1x16GB Team Vulcan 2400Mhz RAM, Asus R9 390 Strix and an 850w Silverstone PSU. Full specs listed on my profile. A clean and legitimate install of Windows was put onto the new machine. All was working great until I noticed a weird render speed ramping type effect when playing games (Overwatch, Borderland Pre-Sequel, Apex Legends). It would happen very rarely and I just thought it may be the GPU getting a bit old - but then it wouldn't stop happening one day. And then, I found out why: By using both HWMonitor and Radeon Wattman, I found that the system couldn't detect the GPU's fan speed/rpm. Both programs report 0 RPM (see attached images). Most of the time HWMonitor didn't even show a Fan section for the GPU (see attached images). This means that the GPU has a fixed fan RPM (which doesn't change at all when under load meaning it could overheat). I have received messages multiple times saying the card had exceeded its maximum temperature threshold. Wattman still allows me to manually control the fan speed to a fixed RPM (I assume it simply changes the voltage going to the fans) but the RPM will not adjust automatically depending on temperature as it usually would. What I tried in order to fix it: - Restoring default settings in Adrenaline (AMD's graphic driver) - Uninstalling and reinstalling Adrenaline multiple times - Resetting BIOS of mobo - Updating and rolling back BIOS of mobo (and reinstalling drivers) - Resitting the GPU, RAM and CPU - Leaving the system unplugged for an hour and resetting CMOS - Installing older versions of drivers/Adrenaline - Booting in Safe mode (couldn't view any GPU info in Safe mode) How I identified the problem after attempting to fix it: I took the GPU out of this system and placed it into a different system (Intel 1150). I installed the same drivers/Adrenaline. Both HWMonitor and Radeon Wattman detected the RPM and would automatically adjust it according to temperature (when the card was under load it raised the fan speed to compensate for the additional heat, as one would expect). No images of this but it was all working as intended. I put it back into the original system and the issue persisted. I honestly have completely run out of ideas of how to solve this. Any ideas or solutions are most welcome! Please let me know if you think this may be a mobo fault. If it is, I'll contact Gigabyte for an RMA immediately. I'm just not sure that they'll see it that way which is why I haven't contacted them yet. I don't have any other GPUs I can test this with on hand.

Okay so: about 8 months ago I bought a brand new Acer Predator XB271HU (XB1), and it's been working like a charm until last week and I need your help to identify what the heck has happened. The attached images show a broken LCD. A pretty standard breakage and it looks exactly what a point of impact would look like, right? It isn't. Something very strange in going on here... I left the house on a Friday when the monitor was fine. I returned on the Sunday evening and the crack was there. I couldn't wrap my head around what the heck just happened. It just seemed to have come out of nowhere. No persons had even entered the room of the monitor. There is no damage on the outside of the monitor anywhere, not even over the top of the screen. It hadn't fallen and it hadn't come into contact with any other objects. Windows were closed, so there's no chance of a temperature change related issue. I have tried to use the monitor with different cables and two different computers, just to make sure, and it's definitely a broken LCD. I've already contacted warranty on the phone and sent them the same pictures and they called me and said "Sorry, man. That's a point of impact and warranty doesn't cover damage like that." Acer doesn't offer repairs on screens above 22" so I'm left completely in the dark. Essentially, I've lost a $900 (AU) monitor without a reason. The least I can do at this point is figure out what happened.

Just spoke to Blackmagic and they said thunderbolt 2 onward works! Any recommendations for thunderbolt 2 cards?

So you don't think there would be any hope for my Z97 rig?

Hey Everyone, I'm looking for an internal thunderbolt 3 card that's compatible with multiple types of motherboards (specifically Asus Z97-K and MSI Z370-A Pro). I'm wanting to be able to use 2 Blackmagic Ultrastudio Minis. I've been using my MBP for them but it's struggling... badly. So let's attach it to the beefy Xeon PCs.

I would prefer not to use 3rd party tricks. I gave it a go though, and it won't work.

So I have the predator XB271HU and I'm trying to enable the overclock for that 165Hz goodness... but I can't. It's the whole reason I bought it! I enable the overclock and set it to 165Hz on the monitor itself, but there's not option in windows to allow the monitor to go above 144Hz. What's going on here and how do I solve it? I'm also not using G-Sync. Or even Nvidia for that matter. Just want the HRR. And yes, I'm using a good DP cable. CPU: Xeon E3-1231 V3 GPU: AMD R9 390 MOBO: Asus Z97-K

The BIOS was simply too... broken to even find out the version. I did download the latest one and attempt to install it, but there were troubles as outlines in the original post

Alrighty, first thing tomorrow I'll take a look at the cpu socket contacts on the mobo

So I bought a new system today: Intel 8400 MSI Z370-A Pro Coolermaster ML240L Phanteks P400 Thermaltake TR2 S 650w 8GB Corsair Value RAM (DDR4) WD Blue 2tb There's no discrete GPU as this is not a computer for gaming, but rather just come cpu intensive tasks for which the integrated graphics will do. I go to turn it on, it posts and goes to the 'no boot device detected' screen - which is normal, there is no OS yet. I do it once more - NOPE. No display. Black screen, no signal detected. Welp, maybe the bios disabled integrated graphics? I put in an old gpu with DVI out and yay, I get a signal, however, when I enter the bios, it's not right [photo1] (according to what it should look like in the manual). From there, I attempt to use the small section of the bios available but it just gets worse [photo2]. I reset the bios settings to default, cleared the CMOS, put the ram into different slots, even attempted to update the bios: It booted into the m-flash system thing, displayed 'm-flash CPU 39 C / 102 F' for like 1 frame (1/60th of a second) then shut down the whole system. I'm very pressed for time and am unable to take the motherboard back to the place I bought it (because it's so far away). Literally any help would be greatly appreciated!

well that sucks. Maybe I'll just chuck it in some pc and use it to slowly render stuff that's not time sensitive. Better something than nothing.
