Hi Folks Recently I have this context when in my country and region the price for electric power it's quite high caused by the recent pandemic that alarms everyone anyway for that reason I wanna know if there is a way to undervolt my existing PC to the absolute max possible something like turning my i7 to an i5 (Intel based) I'm not looking for the top performance(just the enough to play games at 1080p or 1080p Video editing) My Complete System(System 1) ------------------------------------------- GPU:EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition CPU:Intel Core i7-8700K (6 Cores,12 threads [3.7 GHz up to 4.7GHz Turbo Boost single core 4.3GHz All logic cores]) MOBO:ASUS MAximus Hero X (Wi-Fi AC) RAM:G.Skill Trindet Z RGB 32GB(4x8) 3200MHz (XMP) Case:NZXT Noctis 450 Republic of Gamers Edition 3 front intakes fan 1 ext fan 2 RGB Strips Cooling:NZXT Kraken x52 PSU: Cooler Master v850 - 850W (80+Gold Certification) HDD HDD WESTER DIGITAL BLUE 2TB (1x2) SSD Samsung 960 evo 1TB N.V.M.E port WDGreen SSD 240GB SATA port 1080p Avg build 2020 (System 2) ------------------------------------------- CPU: Intel Core i5-9600(6 Cores,6 threads [3.1 GHz up to 4.6GHz Turbo Boost single]) 16GB RAM 2400MHz Dual channel Nvidia RTX 2060(I don't care about ray tracing tho) So in other words I wonder if System 1 can be underclocked and undervolted to operate at the power consumption and performance as the System 2 if so, where should I look up?, I've some experience overclocking and undervolting CPUS but I never try something that hardcore like disabling HT for the sake of energy(if actually have an impact on power consumption) Power Consumption Target: 100-150W Question that arrives in my mind: RGB things have a measurable energy count in power consumption? if so I tried before disabling all the RGB Stuff on my system but for some reason the memory and the AIO don't keep the setting after a power loss or a couple of reboots aswell as the light in the "GeForce GTX Strip" (all this things i set all of this in a manufactured software like NZXT CAM) Thanks for the time an effort

Yes i can ,but import stuff to my country it's the hard thing mi PSU it's a totally mess? the system will not turn on? what's the worst thing it can happen.

there's no online Store

Why i should buy a better PSU?,that was the recomended PSU, when i put it in a PSU calculator I need to cheap out a little because, in my Country (Peru) this cost around 95 bucks.

DOA? Whats that

not yet ,but why i need to do it?

Yes, I have a 550w 80+ bronze and the 2 pci-e 6pin are connected

But I have this motherboard, and it seems like the GPU don't load or something, because when I turn on it sounds 2 beeps and no screen time

This motherboard can support actual gpus like the gtx 980?

Hi, there i'm building a new system and i dont know if i'm doing it right the rig is: PSU: thermaltake smart sp-550p 80+Bronze http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Standard-Bronze-ATX12V-SP-550P/dp/B00BUM178Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1441319411&sr=1-1&keywords=thermaltake+smart+sp-550p MOBO:Gigabyte B85M-DS3H LGA1150 PCI-E3.0 http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Intel-Micro-Motherboards-GA-B85M-DS3H-/dp/B00VX1GGWQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441319863&sr=8-1&keywords=gigabyte+b85 GPU: Zotac GTX 980 amp!

It turns on but no screen and then start to beep like 2 times (like the GPU it wasn't there), I tried updating my bios but still not working, I need a new MoBo? Or my GPU it's broken from the store or something

When I upgrade my video card from a evga gtx 550ti to a Zotac GTX 980 amp edition the system won't load, when I turn on starts to beep 2 times then nothing happens What should I do? (the last upgrade to the bios doesn't fix anything) My actual rig MoBo: Intel DP67DE lga 1155 Cpu: Intel i5-2400 GPU: Zotac gtx 980 amp edition RAM: corsair vengeance 1600mhz 8gb PSU :Thermaltake 550w 80+ bronze

Any other suggest? My MoBo it's the problem? My PSU?

Yes and with a different vga it works (gtx 550ti) but with mi new GPU just beeps and nothing more

My system don't turn off it sounds just like 2 beeps and no screen later My actual system is Vga Zotac gtx 980 amp edition Psu Thermaltake smart550w 80+plus bronze Ram Corsair vengeance 1600mhz (8gbx1) MOBO Intel DP67DE Cpu intel i5-2400 lga 1155 It's like my mobo won't recognize the video card, but I don't know why Any suggestions?
