Ok, never mind. I solved the problem changing the cable (which I noticed was a dvi-single link) with another I found in my room (dual-link) and now all seems ok. Thanks to all.

I've just updated the drivers but nothing changed.

I don't play videogames so I don't need an extra-ultra-powerful gpu

Both monitors are set to 60Hz. The cpu is an i7-5820k with 32GB ddr4.

Hi, I'm using an nvidia gt 720 with 2 monitor (Benq 2460HM) in full hd (one connected using the hdmi, the other with the dvi) and I'm experiencing and issue when I watch videos (e.g. youtube and netflix) in full hd full screen: on the first monitor (the one connected with the hdmi) all seems ok but on the other one there is a low frame rate easily noticeable. Also I noticed that the gpu usage isn't high when the video was played (on each monitor). On average, was around the 20%. Does someone know how I can get rid of this problem?

Hi there, I was testing the performance of my new build and among the new components I tested the SSD with the magician included software: although the sequential read/write speeds are ok, the IOPS seems to be quite low (~60K vs the stated 90K). The magician software says that the ssd is connected using sata 3 and AHCI is enabled. I'm using windows 7 x64 and I have 32GB of DDR4 ram, an asrock x99 extreme4 and intel i7-5820k as cpu. Anyone knows how can I fix this issue?

Thank you all, I was going crazy! I think that I'll try to remove the visible thermal paste using a cotton swab.

Sorry, I forgot to say the model. It is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.

Using the first photo as sample, my thermal paste was of the same size of the photo but less in height. As I said I really tried to apply the minimum amount of pressure on the syringe plunger but it came out that amount. The thermal paste I used was the one included with the cpu cooler. Do you know if it is conductive?

Hi there, I'm assembling my new pc when (maybe?) an issue came out. My doubts concern the cpu cooler installation. When I applied the thermal paste I had the impression that I used too much (although I tried to apply the minimum pressure I was able on the syringe plunger) and more or less was like that (maybe less...): When I installed the cpu cooler I found that it was slightly slippery when positioning it on the cpu surface and when I was screwing the screws it slightly moved on the surface of the cpu, then the issue: once I mounted it I noticed an amount of thermal paste visible near the one edge of the cpu (the other edge visible is clean) that are not covered by the cooler (and maybe as I said before because it was slightly slippery when I was installing it). Now the question is: Should I be worried about it? There is the risk that the thermal paste drips away while the case is in vertical position? The actual situation is illustrated by the attached photos Thanks in advance

@Matt100HP Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me if there is any official documentation about this topic? Where did you get that information?

Hi there, I'm assembling my new pc and I'm at the point of connecting the I/O cables (e.g.: power sw, reset sw, hdd led) but I can't understand the way in which connecting them: on the manual for each cable (and on the cables) there is a small triangle on one side of the cable but is not reported the meaning of that triangle. It is the ground? Or not?

@don_svetlio What I should choose instead?

Hi there, I'm planning to build a new workstation and I'm looking for any advice/suggestion. I will not play to any game but on the graphic side I will watch youtube videos, converting some audio/video from one to another format, and so on. On the other side, I will run multiple instances of virtual machines, compiling big projects and in general running software that requires a lot of RAM and CPU. The desired peripherals are built-in wifi, dual FHD monitor, DDR4,SSD and mechanical keyboard.
