    Could always set a more aggressive fan curve. As long as you're not losing performance and hitting thermal capacity.
  2. SirWendall
    A tad high? Have you ever taken it apart and applied new thermal paste?
  3. SirWendall
    Even if you were able to, why would you want to?
  4. SirWendall
    2nd that.

    Definitely don't go over 1.5v on the CPU. Here's an old thread about it.
  6. SirWendall
    Put it in rice.

    I mean not bad. Like @tkitch said, it will game for sure. Would it be my first choice? No. There are better CPUs within that price range of the i3-9100F.
  8. SirWendall
    Sell it for an arm and a leg.

    I personally like how my 5600x is performing so far. Really depends on what team you are for. Intel has become the budget solution now, but I would personally go 5600x 100%

    Exactly. No one on here is going out of there way to cite bottleneck calculator sites. Its like Wikipedia in a sense. @GhostRoadieBL
  11. SirWendall
    Or go with a 5600x? I know its a $100-$120 increase from the 3600 (non x), but I'm liking my performance gains on it. Also depends on what games are going to be played too.

    I've always built my PCs, but with scalpers and the market right now, I'd say going with a reputiable prebuilt company isn't so bad either. Yes it might take longer for them to get lead time on parts, but you'd be guaranteed a PC.
  13. SirWendall
    Well it could just be your sample that you got. Nothing wrong with it, as long you're not seeing performance loss.
  14. SirWendall
    I'd say stay with Z590. Newer model motherboard, plus chipset.
  15. SirWendall
    Strange. Even a 1050Ti in laptop shouldn't be producing that much heat. It's a fairly low powered card in general.
  16. SirWendall
    In game issue? Try turning off Anti-Aliasing. Apex acted weird when I had it on for my 580.
  17. SirWendall
    Are you overheating at all? I know I had some trouble with my 580 in Apex but it would flicker blacked out textures.Also maybe try rolling back drivers? Possibly?

    Unplug those other cords and just short the PWR SW pins. I would join a call but I'm currently on call for my job.
  19. SirWendall
    Are you shorting the correct pins? Should say power switch on the mobo.
  20. SirWendall
    Need to go into DiGi + VRM (I think?) Somewhere in there you can set thermal limit and other settings. Depending on cooling, set to 130% on the settings. Anthony can explain it better than me.

    To add onto that, lube and films help a lot IMO. Running both GK61/64 models. One has Halo True switches and the other is running speed silvers.
  22. SirWendall
    I like the GK61 / 64 model. Gonna depend on switches and what layout you want.
  23. SirWendall
    I've never had my MSI cards produce a lot of coil whine. Do you lose performance under big gaming load? Have you stress tested it in any programs? It could be just that particular card. Not saying its normal, but some cards have slight coil whine. Not all, but some.
  24. SirWendall
    Are they playing on all low settings? Might be why they're getting 170 fps.

    Says copper with brass fittings
