WHICH "600W" power supply?
Can you give us the brand / make / model?
 
Just giving us the advertised wattage rating gives us no useful info at all.

Literally the only thing that matters for Ethereum mining, which is most common and profitable, is the GPU. In that regard, you're going to need a 3060 Ti or better to make $150/mo, and that's assuming you can manage to get ahold of an older card, as Nvidia is re-releasing all the 30-series with hash limiters now. A 3060 Ti is going to run you $800 or more now, unless you luck into a retail drop, so you'd need to mine for at least half a year, just to pay for the card.
 
If that was beating around the bush too much, let me just come right out and say it: don't build a PC just to mine with. It's not worth it. I mine on my 3060 Ti, but that's because I had an existing PC for gaming, and it's a way to make the card pay for itself when I'm not gaming. This is not something to do as a side gig, and you're definitely not going to be able to quit your day job. You could make more money flipping hamburgers.

Did you use DDU to take out the old drivers?
I don't think the two games you mentioned are that great for optimization tbh. Try checking some other titles.

The most recent stable driver build NVidia has released (non-beta).
The GeForce Experience software will ensure your card has the best driver installed. There are some drivers that people swear by but you can't install a driver older than 5 releases back. If you can find them... yay... but just let the software do its job.

The latest

that cpu is so weak, the prebuilt pc cases usually suck too as well as these PSUs. I would keep the HDD and build an entirely new system. My brother used to have a amd 780k which is basically an A10 without integrated graphics and it bottlenecked a decent amount with a gtx 960 that we had used back then. Maybe you wanna save a bit of money and get a new ryzen (dont know anything about them) or something like a i5 6600 with a H270/170 mobo and 2x4GB DDR3 and a gtx 1060

You're welcome NSA

They aren't doing that, the CPU is just not very powerful in single threaded/dual core applications and games. A high end card like the fuy would bottleneck as well. Your best bet would be going with an i5 or i7 depending on what you're going to use the pc for. 

You are aware that you cpu would bottleneck the 980ti, yes?
 
I use pcpartpickers one.

Yes.... But you will need to take the heatsink off of course to mount a AIO. Most GPUs have one heatsink that cover the whole card.

Never buy that CPU regardless of circumstances.

No don't ever but that CPU.

wtf?

Small update, I did subzero for the first time on Friday with dry ice

I cant tell if this is a troll thread or not...

you are probs hitting either CPU limit (for that voltage) or mobo limits.
the 970m Pro3 is a 4+1 phase 140w TDP board. It can deal with a mild OC, but do not expect more then 4.4 GHz even in the best of cases.
Realistically, i wouldnt think that board will handle more then 4.2GHz at max.
Do not ramp up the voltage much beyond 1.40v, as there IS a limit to how much that board can take, and there is limited information of what sorts of protective measures that board has.
There is no confirmed sources of proof that states the 970m Pro3 will trigger CPU throttle to save its VRMs, so too high voltage and clock CAN burn your board.
Don't push your luck.
You get what you pay for, and while that board is an excellent entry board for FX, it is NOT a great OC board.
Also, 45 degrees on air isnt that bad for FX, ive hit 55-58 on a 280mm liquid cooler...

Ah look another one of those people that think a whole brand sucks just because they got 1 or 2 bad cards.

Looks freaking ugly

Looks freaking ugly

Looks freaking ugly

It's also a nice way to hold up the temperatures in those cold winter mornings....

Decide then

you have an i7 OP has a 6300

That's fucking retarded

Great. Still, what reason would I have to choose the Fury X over the 980 Ti? They perform almost the same.
 
AMD needs to make compelling options for consumers, but right now there isn't anything they do that NVIDIA can't. If they want to succeed, they need to do something that differentiates them from the competition, but I'm not seeing anything like that.
