  1. 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,.
  2. 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
  3. 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?
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. Ah, thank you. Does make sense considering I've been using the board since 2015 without replacing the battery.
  7. 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
  8. 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)
  9. All 3 screens are the same model, and running the same resolution in NVIDIA Surround.
  10. 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?
  11. Oops xD. It was working absolutely fine.
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. Tried taking out the battery and it did help a little, actually. I might have to try that. It just baffles me if that's the case, since it wasn't that long ago since I did one last. I'm not really ready to sacrifice any money yet, but I might install an SSD if nothing else works.
  16. Help. I need help guys. My "communication" laptop that I primarily use for Discord and Spotify has over the past month become awfully slow. It runs okay when I boot it into safemode, but when I boot it up normally, it is absolutely useless. I can't even do basic things like open up the task manager, or even use the taskbar, and if I am lucky and get to start Discord, it crashes after the smallest of workloads. Even joining a call can make it crash. What could cause this problem? I have tried resetting the PC which is refuse to do. I have tried doing a system restore which it won't do either. I'm kinda lost of ideas at this point. It's an old Packard Bell EasyNote LS running Windows 10, with an Intel Celeron B815, 4GB of RAM and Intel HD Graphics. Any help to resurrect my dying PC would greatly be appreciated.
  17. I just built a new PC for one of my friends but ran into some trouble. I booted the PC up and everything was registered in the BIOS. I then proceeded to plug the Windows bootable USB drive into a USB 2.0 port and started the install. After I've chosen the drive on which to install Windows, it then completes the first step, but fails the second after 1%, and gives me this error code: 0x80070570. I've been digging around but have yet to find a solution. Does anybody know what to do? Parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q9n7kT

    NZXT Aer RGB

    I'm aware of that, but they do not receive power from the Hue+, that only control the lighting. They still need power from either the motherboard or power supply.

    NZXT Aer RGB

    I'm planning out some upgrades for my PC and one of them is to install 2 NZXT Aer RGB fans. One top and one rear. I'm hoping that I can hook them up to one 4 pin header on my motherboard using a splitter, but I want to make sure that it dosen't fry my motherboard fan header. I've looked EVERYWHERE but i simply cannot find the amount of amps each fan draw. Can anybody answer my question? Thank you.
  20. Still using a 60Hz monitor.
  21. I've been thinking of upgrading my current MSI GTX 960 2gb card to an Asus 1060 6gb OC. I'm going to pair it with my MSI Z97 PC Mate and i5 4690k already in my system. Question 1: Will I have any compatibility issues? Question 2: I've heard that my 4690k might bottleneck the 1060. Is this true or is it just a myth? Question 3: How much of a performance boost will I get by upgrading? Thank you
  22. Hello everyone. I'm looking for a school laptop as I'm starting at a new school in August. My budget is around 600-700 USD, but I'm willing to go a little over if it's just perfect. I don't need that much performance. As long as it can handle websurfing, Word, video playback and stuff like that, I'm satisfied. Size and battery is a priority. The lighter the better and a battery that can last a whole schoolday (7-8 hours) would be very nice. And it would of course be appriciated if it looked good.
  23. I was thinking about GPU.
