An upgrade suggestion based on what the bottleneck is. So that the system is Fairly balanced. If the system is balanced explain that upgrading one part wont result in better performance.. Cpu overheating? Suggest a cpucooler. Slow harddrive, suggets ssd ------------- A validation screenshot for second hand sale of a ststem of component. With a qr code that links to the score, with stability test, performance score, temp stress test, battery test, etc.

Solved, there was a sneaky card reader plugged in the back i missed Feel so dumb

Z270 sli plus, Evga gtx980 And a Asus GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5 already reset the bios settings to default What have I tried in the meantime - removed the nvme drive (no more drives present) - tested the 2 dim separately in different slots. (All with the same result.)

I did some maintenance on my pc and when i tried to boot it again it would not boot (i did not wait 5 minutes the beginning) The ez debug led "gpu" lit up. The manual says:" could not detect gpu or gpu fail" After 5 minutes or so, the led is not lit up anymore and thenpc starts booting. But this takes up a long time. Getting into bios also takes up multiple minutes. What have i tried: - remove usb devices i dont need - remove sata drives i dont need (only am running a nvme drive now) - swapped gpu - measured voltage of pcie plug - reinserted the gpu couple of times to clean the pcie slot's contact pind - reset bios to default settings - checked atx cables of 24 pin and cpu-8pin if it was plugged in all the way. - made a stand under the gpu to make it stop sagging down. Once booted, the pc does not run smoothly

the fins are clear of debris, the airflow is good, the fan is also good. and the connection between cpu and the cooling block is also good. the problem is the heatpipe. when the cpu is 90degrees, the air feels cold. and the cpu block itself and the heatpipe near the block is scorching hot. the heatpipe near the fins(fan) is cold. when i then flip the machine on its back it sometimes starts cooling efficiently, but this does not always happen.

The heatpipe on my rusty Dell l502x crapped out. So i decided to replace it, but the new heatpipe has the exact same problem. The thick heatpipe is attached to the cpu (picture in attachment). The silver block is scorching hot. The copper heatpipe is hot close to the cpu and cold on the other side. When i flip the notebook on one side it will transfer the heat properly for a while, but after a while it will stop transferring heat untill i change the position of the entire device again. It seems like there is no position where it will work 100% nor is there a position where it never works. I am baffled by this bahaviour, i cannot find any similar cases on the internet. Anyone can help me?
