4790k finally dead? Need help
ColonelEddie replied to ColonelEddie's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
So I did try buying another cpu and same issue. What’s weird is when I turned it on for the first time, it was power cycling infinitely. I tried turning it off and on again, and it defaulted back to the cpu light being on. I’m worried it may be mobo. Then fans would spin when I had them plugged in. -

I tried that as well. I even tried using a case fan to see if it was the AIO cpu fan connector that went bad but no luck. I bought a certified used 4790K to see if it’s a CPU and same issue. What’s weird is I tried turning it on for the first time with the “new” CPU and it would continually power cycle. I tried turning it off and on again and it just defaulted back to turning the CPU light on. -

So, my wife’s computer (which used to be my old one) may have finally died. Out of no where, the computer wouldn’t post one day. The motherboard cpu light is on and just will not go away. I have tried replacing the cmos battery with a brand new one, swapping out RAM sticks, and disconnecting everything except power (inside and outside the case). I tested the power supply 24 pin and 8 pin for the cpu and all of the pins were in the voltage tolerance. I tried double checking the all the cpu and mother board cpu socket pins were damaged (seemed good). Not sure what to really do at this point except buy a replacement 4790k or a new gen mobo and cpu. The current motherboard is an ASUS saber tooth Z97 mark 1 and is actually relatively new (back when there was the insane 5 year warranty). It was having issues in 2020, and I RMA’ed the motherboard. They sent over a replacement, and it started working again. Any suggestions? Cpu: 4970k Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth Z97 mark 1 Cooler: Corsair H115i 280mm rad PSU: Rosewill Lightning 1000W Storage: 1 SATA SSD and 2 hard drives

Basically, I bought a 2070 when it came out and now super cards and launching at the same price. Anyone know if Nvidia or any company will offer a trade-in program? Like are they really just gonna screw people over like that?

So basically I'm using this Powercolor Devilbox enclosure to power my Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga (second gen I'm pretty sure). I have been using it for almost 2 years without any problems, but it has just started this weird power issue. Whenever I connect it to my laptop, the GPU fans will either start up and then lose power or immediately lose power. Then randomly the fan starts to wobble some as if it's being sent intermittent power. To see if it's just the GPU, I plugged in my keyboard into it and the RGB lights work on it but it does not type. The weirdest thing is the case fans for it and included LED strips work perfectly fine with no sign of power loss (the fans are connected via PWM to the "motherboard" while the LED strips connect via Molex directly from the PSU). Also when the GPU is connected to an external monitor, the display seems to disconnect and reconnect really quickly back and forth as if there were a loose connection (which there is not since I have used this monitor with other setups including the cable). I don't know what to do since the warranty expired. The GPU I use is an EVGA 970 SC that I'm pretty positive it's not causing the problem. BTW: I know there was a firmware update for this product but was never able to get it to work so no I did not install it

So now that we know about the 2080, is the +$800 worth it? Like do we think that it’ll be able to push 1440p 144hz or do we have to wait even longer for benchmarks?
-
I can wait and probably will be able to afford it, I'm just worried about not being able to get ahold of 2080 (that's apparently what they're calling it now) because of the crazy want for it. As for games, I play any type of game really. But I want the graphics card to almost be overkill and just make sure any type of game I want at 1440p 165hz with high to extreme settings.

So I have a EVGA 970 SC right now with a 1440p 144hz (165 overclocked) monitor and was looking to finally upgrade my graphics card. I want to either get a 1080ti or 1180 but I don't know which. I really want to utilize the full potential of my monitor for any game possible, and looking at benchmarks/specs the 1080ti comes close but not quite. However, 1180 could cost more if I'm not immediately able to get my hands on it or still might not be enough for the performance I want exactly. Waiting for the 1180ti might be out of the question (but still possible). I've also seen a suggestion to get a 1080ti and then get another to SLI when the 1180ti comes out, but SLI has been getting worse from what I've heard so I'm basically stuck not knowing what to do. Any thoughts? My rig: 4790k w/OC 4.6GHz Corsair H115i 16GB 1866MHz DDR3 ASUS Z97 SABERTOOTH MK1 EVGA 970 SC [cannot get it to OC reliably ] Rosewill 1000W PSU

I want to use xsplit for a live stream of csgo with the style similar to Rage Quit of RoosterTeeth.

I would love one of these
