  1. if its not hard tubrng, then just take the GPU out of the the pcie slot and let it sit there. that way you will know for sure its not doing anything. that way you dont have to disassemble the loop and you wont mix gpu temps into the loop
  2. it will work - but youre right at the upper limit of the PSU with a RX580 input your specs into pcpartpicker to estimate wattage and everything looked fine until you mentioned the 5 case fans. i personally, am not comfortable with you running a 450W PSU - i would recommend upgrading With all that said i know im completely missing the whole point about AC to DC conversion - so im hoping someone can add to my comment also a little blown away at how high the RX580's TDP is rated at - higher than my evga gtx 1080
  3. i have this really old jpeg photo that i need to touch up in photoshop however every time i try to import or open the file in photoshop, the camera raw dialogue box keep cropping it into some portrait 9x16 ratio and i cant open the full image attached is my screenshot >> on the left is the actual jpeg image , and on the right is the dialogue box in PS.
  4. I have apx 80 video files that i need to send to an editor. the files are currently 60p but i want to interpret them into 24p (slow motion) i know how to interpret the footage into a 24p timeline in premiere pro but i cant figure out a quicker way of applying and exporting to mp4 for all 80 files. Any idea? Adobe Media Encoder? Once i can interpret each file into 24p im planning on running them through handbrake to mp4 (if it isnt already mp4 after interpreting) any ideas? please let me know if you need any clarification, im new to video editing and sometimes have a hard time describing what i need edit: i need to convert to mp4 for small file sizes, i dont care for the loss in quality, its not significant, not a cinematic project. its a very small budget commercial for local business

    i7 8700 + B360 mobo + GTX 1060 ...if i add an NVME ssd, will it still allow my GPU to run at 16x ?

  6. the SSHD is probably the only thing you really need to replace with an SSD also consider getting a cheap 60gb-120gb ssd as a dedicated scratch disk for adobe apps
  7. thats really odd. on paper you pc is more than capable, it should be able to playback at 100% resolution are you using Adobe Premiere ? is it a legitimate copy? also what camera is the 4k footage from? and what format does it record 4k footage to?
  8. i personally have avoided running the latest nvidia drivers at the moment as i was getting instability. I used DDU to uninstall all video drivers and have been running 417.71 for some time now
  9. i would also check your RAM usage during BF5, i dont think 8gb wil be enough What resolution are you playing games at?
  10. https://www.amazon.ca/NGFF-SATA-Adapter-SATA3-Convert/dp/B00J4HF17W that NGFF adapter would only run SATA drives. since it interfaces with the imac via SATA you also need to clarify, are you planning on using a Samsung 970 (NVME) drive or Samsung 860 Sata drive
  11. a stable overclock would mean that it runs without crashing in ALL applications. I would recommend lowering the OC to see if it works

    Has anyone ever purchased something from Power Top in Canada? thoughts?

  13. get one more stick of 8gb ram and if your psu has a 6+2 pin gpu connector then get a used GTX 1070 or a new RTX 2060
  14. some difference in i/o some difference in sata ports layout on the board the VRM heatsink on the z390-a looks like it has SLIGHTLY more surface area but would make a very marginal difference mostly just aesthetics
  15. which resolution can your system even support with such high framerates 2560x1080 or 3440x1440 .... 4k ??
  16. just buy the cheapest pair of 3200mhz ram with good reviews, and call it a day just be grateful your buying ram right now - i paid $210 CAD for 16GB 2400mhz a few months ago
  17. i wont be buying any more flash drives or SD cards from amazon. consistently terrible and most likely knockoffs with replica stickers and branding

    A USB3.0 Flash Drive is supposed to be faster than a USB2.0 5400rpm HDD right??

      I sadly often still see USB 3.0 drives with a read/write of 45/10 MBPS respectively, so sometimes no I guess

  19. Alright so i have gone back and re-installed three of the previous BIOS version and played with every possible setting related to turbo boost and boost behavior and multipliers. even though every monitoring app reports 46x multiplier as being the highest for my chip. it doesnt seem like i will ever be able to reach 4.6ghz again. Even Intel XTU no longer allows me to change multipliers even though i used to be able to when i first put my system together...i can only conclude that there was some sort of microcode update to the CPU or motherboard that no longer allows for these changes to be made. TLDR: i'm SOL
  20. so i guess thats where im a little conflicted, the bios updates i did were mostly because of the descriptions provided " Update Intel Micro code for security vulnerabilities"
  21. do motherboards allow for older bios to be installed? just worried im going to brick it.
  22. i7-8700 MSI B360i Gaming ITX 16gb Corsair LPX 2400mhz GTX 1060 120gb SSD boot drive Corsair RMx 550W (gold) Win10 Pro CPU under load (60-70c) Good case airflow over VRMs as well When i first built my pc everything was running great. I would open up my HWinfo64 monitor and notice that occasionally one of my cpu cores would hit the advertised 4.6ghz turbo boost speeds. and sometimes under a 2-3 core load some cores would hit 4.4-4.5ghz. Since the first few days i have updated the MSI bios probably 2-3 times to whatever the current one is - and there have been a few big windows updates as well, i first started with Build 1803 and now im at 1809. However i did not monitor the fact that at some point during these updates my turboboost would no longer boost single core to 4.6ghz and would also no longer boost 2-3 core load to 4.4ghz-4.5ghz. And as it stands now I only see my cores achieve a max turbo speed of 4.3ghz across all 6 cores - REGARDLESS of how many cores are in use. So even if im playing games, or rendering raw files or editing and exporting in premiere, web browsing etc...i would only see a max speed of 4.3ghz. I have never changed any settings in my bios. and i have even done a fresh reinstallation of windows 10 with a new CD Key to see if i could achieve the advertised turbo speeds. Changing power profiles in windows to high performance and ultimate performance dont fix the issue either. Can anyone advise me on why im no longer able to EVER achieve anyhing higher than 4.3ghz? or some other trouble shooting steps that I can try?
  23. are you able to do the bios update with the new cpu? https://www.asrock.com/support/BIOSIG.asp?cat=BIOS8

    CPU Air Cooler

    for a Pentium G4400 reaching 100c with a stock cooler...it sounds like a different issue Sounds like the cooler is not making full contact with the CPU and/or poor thermal paste application for reference, my i7-8700 would reach a max temp of 85c under load with a stock intel cpu cooler
