Specs: Ryzen 7600 ASUS B650 PLUS CORSAIR 2x16GB DDR5 5600Mhz MSI GAMING Z TRIO 3060 Ti CORSAIR 550W PSU Crucial P3 1TB SSD Moved from an RX 6600 to the 3060 ti a couple days ago, everything running smooth and happy, played PUBG, Alan Wake 2 and Skyrim, all going fine but when I try play CS2, I get some wild texture stretching (see image). I've tried DDU and reinstall drivers, I've tried running drivers from October, I've disabled all overclocks, defaulted all possible settings in CS, updated BIOS and chipset drivers, everything I could think of. At this point it seems like it's going to be a GPU hardware issue but thought I'd try in here before refunding it. Any info appreciated!

Specs: i5 10400F Gigabyte B560 Aorus Elite Corsair RGB 3000Mhz CL15 2X8GB (cmr16gx4m2c3000c15) MSI Gaming X 6600 XT Corsair 550W PSU I set the XMP profile and that refuses to post, so I started entering things manually. The PC accepts 3066Mhz at CL15 and Windows reports that it is intact running at 3066Mhz, yet CPU-Z and the BIOS say it's still running at 2666Mhz. I can run it at regular SPD speed of 2133Mhz no problem so it works below 2666Mhz, but the moment I try go above that it's just stuck no matter how much I fiddle with timings or voltages. I'm aware anything over 2666 is considered an OC with this CPUs memory controller, so maybe I'm just REALLY unlucky here, but I don't believe that to be true, I feel like I'm missing something. Attached is an image showing what I mean, the system accepted and booted at 3000Mhz for example, but is reporting it at 2666Mhz. Any ideas guys? Thank you!

Okay so I bought an old Core2Duo rig for next to nothing, its purpose was just emulators and stuff. It has an E4500, 4GB of DDR2,HD 5750, 500GB HDD and a 450W Silverstone PSU (Which I installed after as I didnt trust the weird PSU it came with) it had Windows 7 on it, worked fine, very snappy actually, I expected snail like speeds. Then it was time to fire Windows 10 on it like I do with all rigs. It got right to the end of the install before it comes up with the desktop screen and it froze, I restarted the PC, tried to boot into Windows 10 and now it keeps freezing on the spinning dots with windows logo. I have tried a bootable USB, it still freezes, I unplugged ALL HDDs and only used the USB to see if it gets any further but nope, freezes at the exact same spot. I tried Mint from the USB, that tells me theres no OS on the USB when I clearly burned an ISO of Linux Mint onto it. I have tried different formats, FAT32, NTFS,MBR etc, NOTHING works, I literally cant get past the spinning dots and windows logo to even attempt safe mode or reverse anything. I've tried F12 and forcing USB as first boot device and I made it priority in the BIOS. BIOS is unchanged other than boot order. Does anyone have any idea whats wrong here? 2 days ive been at this and its starting to really annoy me why it cant do the simplest task of installing an OS....

I did, CPU usage was 70% after about an hour of playing.

I have an 880K and an RX 460. Okay so at first BF1 ran a bit crap for me at 1080p, max settings or low ran exactly the same, it seems like its a CPU issue, but then I tried Elder Scrolls Online, that seems to run horribly on any settings unless I turn down render distance and particles (CPU bound settings), its leading me to believe the CPU is faulty because ESO spec sheet is like potato PC requirements, it says any 2.ghz dual core and some pre 2010 GPU is what it recommends.

The 880K was the only CPU I could fit into my budget without having to go with an R7 250 as my GPU, UK pricing is a bit odd right now, especially for RAM. Argonne forest runs at 60 fps on 64 man server, as does a few others (I forget the names) but theres a couple that are just brutally unplayable. It leads me to believe that the game is needing some work and more driver revisions are needed.

So I've been having bf1 issues, I run an 880K from AMD and an RX 460. It doesnt seem to matter what quality its on, either maxed out or the lowest possible settings, it always sits in the 30fps range and dips into the 20s. I stared into the distance with 35fps on low, then maxed it out and still had 35??? could this be an issue with my new system or is this just typical of a new un-optimised battlefield game?

I tab into HW Monitor real fast and see what it says and sometimes the memory value is 333mhz and sometimes its 1066 (double that obviously) so I just want to stop the power saving function to prevent it

No I get all that, I set the DOCP profile to 2133Mhz on my ASUS A88XM-PLUS when I built it, my issue is that at idle its downclocking to 333mhz to save power but when gaming it sometimes doesn't go back up or stay that way so I wanted to disable the power savings function that controls it

So at idle my ram sits at 333mhz and I've noticed in some games it won't clock back up or it will but then back down and its rather annoying, how can I stop it doing that at idle? Like just run full speed all the time? (First gaming PC so excuse me if this is pointless)

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4383#ov I currently have this from another build..it never actually got used so I thought I could use it. I wanted to push the 3.8Ghz Base Clock up to 4.2 Ghz. Could I do this on this Motherboard without any VRM issues etc.

The title says it all.

The 7850 would be at 1 Ghz or Higher.

Ok so i am not the kind of person who will say things like..'Oh i need my Maxed out Graphics to enjoy a Game'. No thats not me. I am happy to Play Console and i barely pay attention to Graphics as i am immersed within a Game. I am gonna make a PC for Medium Textures and i will Fiddle with AA and Filters as i see fit. Is this weird or is it a good mind set
