Just installed two 140mm be quiet Silent Wings 4 as my radiator fans, and a 120mm Pure Wings as exhaust as a part of the upgrade after the original post was made. Radiator is front mounted. Now sitting at 75-77 degrees with the front panel of. Have not tried undervolting,.

Just bought myself a GIGABYTE 3070 Eagle OC, as an upgrade to my Asus 1060 6GB (Btw, holy smokes, what an upgrade) Played a couple of MW2 games an noticed it was sitting at 91 degrees at 100% fan speed, which I thought was quite hot. Read a couple of articles and concluded that it was definitely running too hot. My case is currently a Phanteks P400S. Tried taking of the front panel and it instantly dropped to a steady 77-78 degrees under load. I know the P400S isn't the best case for airflow, but it is really that bad? Is there anything I can do too improve temps, without having to take of the front panel every time I'm gaming? System: Asus Prime Z590-A i5-11600k Corsair Hydro H115i GIGABTYTE RTX 3070 Eagle OC

So, I made the mistake of buying an ASUS PRIME Z490-A and an i5-11600kf. Since the board doesn't have any BIOS flashback features, and I don't have an old 10th gen laying around, I decided to say fuck it, and get a Z590 version of the same board, instead of faffing about trying to find a way to update the BIOS. Now, before shelling out any more money, is it correctly understood that the Z590 chipset will work natively with a 11600kf, without any BIOS updates? -
Recommendations for upgrading an older build
Hyttelus replied to Hyttelus's topic in New Builds and Planning
CPU and RAM prices in Denmark really haven't fluctuated that much the last couple of years. GPU prices is another story though. I understand that I might save a little money by waiting, but my taxreturn is coming now, so let me repeat myself, now is the time. -
Budget (including currency): 5600 DKK Country: Denmark Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Battlefield, Assetto Corsa Competizione (etc.), photo editing and engineering studies. So, I've been looking at upgrading my PC for a while now, and now is the time. My current build looks like this: i5-4690k Asus GTX 1060 OC 6GB 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM MSI Z97 PC Mate 120 mm AIO watercooler I have considered two options. 1. Spend most of it on a new graphicscard like a 3060, or maybe a used 1080 or 1080 Ti, and save the rest. 2. Upgrade the CPU to a 9th or 10th gen i7, get a new motherboard, upgrade my RAM to 32 GB DDR4 and get a new 240 mm watercooler. Any input would be greatly appreciated

"All settings were reset to default values" on PC startup

Ah, thank you. Does make sense considering I've been using the board since 2015 without replacing the battery. -
"All settings were reset to default values" on PC startup

Hello I have a problem that occured around a month ago, and haven't gone away since. When I start my PC IT prompts me with the message on picture. If I continue by pressing F2 it starts up like normal, except it usually forgets my time settings, so I have to sync it again. I have tried updating my BIOS to the newest update (from v4.6 to v4.11) but it didn't resolve the issue. What might be happening here? The motherboard is the MSI Z97 PC Mate

Hello I am starting my bachelor's degree in physics and technology next week, and I'm looking for a laptop to replace my aging Surface Pro 4. I've been looking at the Surface Laptop 2 and the Surface Laptop 3, but I can't decide which one to go for. I've found a refurbished Laptop 2 for $1050, and I can get a Laptop 3, in the colorway I actually really want, for $1300. Both is the same spec: i5, 8 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD. Is it worth going for the Laptop 3. Does it really perform that mich better as Microsoft says IT does? (Bear in mind, I live in Denmark, so prices are significantly higher than the US)

All 3 screens are the same model, and running the same resolution in NVIDIA Surround.

I really need help with a problem that drives me nuts. After I started using 3 screens, the icons on my desktop shift around when opening certain games and programs, and when I change my background. Any help? Anyone?
-
Oops xD. It was working absolutely fine.
-
I recently bought 3 screens, and to start of with, it was absolutely. When I left my computer, my screens would go black after a couple of minutes, and when I came back, all I had to do was move my mouse about to wake them up. They've now stopped doing this. Whenever I come back and move my mouse, I can see my screen waking, but all they show is a blank black screen. Does anybody know what could cause this? Any help would be very welcome. Thnak you

i5-4690K vs new 8th generation i5's
Hyttelus replied to Hyttelus's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
My 4690K isn't overclocked at all. Bought the PC prebuilt back when I still didn't know how to build a PC. I have since upgraded the graphicscard from a 960 to my current 1060, and the powersupply from a crappy noname one, to the Corsair. -
I currently use an old i5 4690K in my PC which still does the job great, but I have thought about upgrading my PC with one of the new 8th generation i5's along with a new motherboard and RAM. My first question is, if I would even notice an upgrade, and if it's worth it? If so, what would be the most sensible choice for someone who primarily plays games like Battlefield, LoL, Assetto Corsa, (and god forbid sometimes Fortnite), and also does video and photo editing regularly? I've been looking at the i5-8400 myself, but wonder if it's enough for video and photo editing? Thank you for any advice you can provide My current system: Intel Core i5-4690K ASUS GTX 1060 6GB MSI Z97 PC Mate Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB 2000 MHz Corsair RM650x 120 GB SSD 1TB HDD
