The memory of my 2080 always overheats when i play a non esport game.

 

It goes to like 109celsius but the same games weren't overheating the memory like 3 month ago.(wouldnt even get close to 80)

 

Also gpu itself gets about 80c

Do i need to disassemble and change the thermal pad?

 

Also an open case with enough airflow and cleaned heatsink

taking it apart will probably void the warrenty, if you're fine with that, yeah, swap some pads out. 
just watch some videos before you get unscrewing.

So I just recently got some upgrades for my PC. I got a new CPU and GPU. I installed them both along with a brand new clean SSD today. it seems that the CPU AND the GPU are not working correctly as when I put the old ones back In I can get to bios but if either of them are installed I cant even get an image to look at the bios at all. Ram, mother bard and power supply are all still the same. it boots up with the new parts but no display at all

 

specs of old pc

 

Gtx1060 

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 

X370 GAMING PLUS

16 GB Ram

725 watt power supply

 

 

New CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X

New GPU RTX 3070

You need to Update your BIOS to the latest version, then your CPU may work. 
You also might need to set your BIOS PCIe setting to 3.0 manually, as the RTX3070 is a PCIe Gen4 GPU. 

Always check compatibility before buying new parts.

Also read release notes for your BIOS before updating:

What happens if I put my RAM and CPU on my bowl that has full bowl of isopropryl alcohol? Does it still damage my CPU and RAM?

never soak parts in IPA, just rinse them and allow the parts to fully dry before energizing. 

if you need to clean deeper, rinse and gently scrub.

Hey look, that's a screenshot of my post, almost 10 years ago!

are you still running your signature specs? that's a 10+ year old rig right there! 

AMD Phenom II overclocking is the video that got me watching linus in the first place. 
Plus the stories of Slick and his mineral oil rig. 

it inspired me to make my first PC build, which was a Phenom II in oil in a custom case that I built. 

tighter RAM timings are not worth too much hassle. CL16 vs CL18 isn't going to help you as much as spending more money on a better GPU or newer gen PCIe M.2 drives. 

the 12700KF does NOT come with integrated graphics, in the event your GPU fails you will not be able to use the motherboard's DP/HDMI connectors to display video, instead of the 12700KF, go for the non-F 12700K CPU. 

your QVO (Qaulity Value Optimized) drive is good for reads, but not a lot of writes, be sure to install windows in your m.2 and store your games on the SATA drive. 
use of a SATA SSD is cheaper than a same-storage-size M.2, but is slower, which is fine for read-often / write-less storage. I would suggest getting a larger SATA, as 1TB may fill faster than you believe with the size of games nowadays. it depends on what you can afford, you can always buy another later. 

be sure to change your default download and install locations in any programs that you may use. (example: change your steam library to the SATA drive)

The only time you need a keyboard, mouse and monitor for your server is during initial installation because everything thereafter can be done without one.

I also HIGHLY suggest using RAID system, either RAID 5 or RAID 10, along with offsite data storage, as protection from data loss.

Functionally as long as you have a good Ethernet connection and 32Gb RAM, nothing else really matters.

 

I have a rack already built with a KVM, i just need to wire it all up and put the components in the chassis i have. I really just made this thread so someone can help me look for a deal. 

I'm not doing a RAID, but i'll be backing everything up to my NAS server nightly. 

my NAS is currently running a windows VM and i want to move that VM to dedicated hardware, because windows is not stable as a VM under TrueNAS.

-snip-

nevermind, found a pretty decent combo on an ATX and an i9 for $350USD
i popped in 64GB of RAM and a cheaper PCIe-gen4 M.2 and i'm in business. 

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4530299

Budget (including currency): $500-800 USD

Country: United States

Programs or workloads that it will be used for: Windows Server Installation

I'm planning on making a windows server installation to host a few hobby websites, nothing too intense, but i want some physical cores for VM  installations.

I've got a spare server chassis handy, with a spare power supply and probably some extra drives hanging around too. 
I just need a motherboard, CPU, and RAM. I'd prefer a motherboard with a few PCI-e rails as i've got a SATA expansion card and NIC cards i'd like to put in the chassis. 
chassis for refference: Silverstone RM400 - https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/RM400/
PSU: some generic 700W PSU
Graphics: bonus if the CPU has onboard with HDMI out. otherwise i'll slap an old GPU in it. 

my limitations are the ATX or SSI-CEB form factors. 

motherboards/cpu can be either consumer or server, as long they fit in the chassis, RAM can be unbuffered or ECC.

what does the american megatrends POST screen say?

I'll probably just buy Corsair RM1000x.  It's fully modular and gold rated.

you're gold rated. good luck on all your future builds, hopefully with that same PSU. 

Just now, AshleyBear said:

Well I got $550 worth of amazon gift cards for Christmas so I might just buy a 1000w psu.  I oc my gpu and cpu.

I'd say do it, get it fully modular, and from a reputable brand with a solid warranty. This way you'll be able to use the same PSU well into your next build or two. 

(I still have a 750W from 2010 that is still in service.)

ohhh I see, framerate holds up pretty well, did not know that about dlss. just kinda hear abt it a lot so i figured it was smth good to leave on. thanks for the info!

always check out what the technology does before just flicking it on. 

if you can afford a bigger PSU, get it. GPUs and CPU are more and more power hungry every generation. buy now, don't buy again on an upgrade later.

temps barely even exceed 60 degrees, nothing open either.

you lost the silicone lottery, sorry champ.

Yup, im on the latest motherboard bios and gpu bios. Same for drivers. Just installed the gpu a few hours ago into my system.

temps don't peak over 89C when benching? don't have a bunch of background programs running? (not even chrome!) 
also, average score in benchmarks are slightly inflated due to  people running benchmarks with fresh installs of windows with no background programs. IMO

What do your motherboard LEDs say at bootup?

I sort of have an issue with my computer where I can't get past the American Megatrends screen, I continuously press F1 to continue and F2 to get into bios but nothing happens,
I have done many many troubleshooting but I just cant get my computer to work can someone please help me.

reset the CMOS. 
what kind of motherboard do you have?

So, I am slowly buying parts to build a new computer and I am ordering most expensive parts to least expensive parts. And I bought the GPU (3060Ti) and I am wondering if I can use the GPU on my current rig and it wouldn't affect anything bad when I add it to the new rig in the future.

in what way to you expect it to "affect anything bad" ?

unless you abuse the GPU it will be fine to put into a new machine later.

you can put the small thing in the big hole, but you can't put the big thing in the small hole. 

PSUs last a long time. I have always suggested 750W, even back in the days where people were telling everyone 550W is all a single card system will need. 

it's looking like the 750W days are coming to a close, but i'd still suggest getting one. that way if you upgrade your CPU/MoBo and GPU you still probably won't need to buy a new PSU. go fully modular and don't cheap out on a cheaper brand just to save 20-30 bucks.

Seems to be, saw others mention DLSS so I turned mine down from Ultra Performance to Quality. Seems to be just a bandage solution but it looks better than before, still issues here and there tho. GeForce Experience also tells me I have the latest graphics drivers installed so I doubt it could be that. Thank you for replying!

DLSS is a scaling technology, i would suggest turning it OFF, unless your framerate is garbage. 
I can see the pixelization in the short clip you made, thank you. 

you cry gentle and ask yourself why manufactures lock us into buying all of the same brand for RGB to work. 

seriously. Gigabyte Aorus is terrible.

Ah awesome! I am looking into SignalRGB now, I haven't even installed the iCUE yet, cause I just hate all the various software available. 

Do I have to uninstall Aura and CAM or just not open them if I use SignalRGB?

I have to keep AURA and (whatever Gigabyte's RGB software is called) installed and iCue seems to be able to control the AURA stuff, but it never recognizes the Gigabyte RGB GPU I have. 

I try to just stick with Corsair and ASUS if i can, the GPU is an exception because i got it from a newegg shuffle.
