Yep! It's one of the things I did. Flipped that switch on/off then disabled the thermals in the cpu features in BIOS. I'm running without ThrottleStop right now and it looks stable. Time will tell, in a few days, if it stays the same. To be clear, the LN2/Slow mode switch was in the correct position the whole time (since 4 years ago when I built my system) but I flipped it on/off just for the sake of it.

Nope its not that, read the threads that I linked, it's related to a faulty sensor that crapped out.

Corsair link reported exactly the same things, but not so granular as AIDA. I found what was causing the issue. I think one of the internal temp sensors crapped out and was feeding wrong temps from the CPU to the mobo. Apparently there's plenty of people that have the same problems on 6700K and 7700Ks, along with a bunch of mobile CPUs too. The solution was to disable the temp capping from CPU features in the mobo, then flip the LN2 switch on and off (in case it was accidentally touched - this limits the CPU to 800MHz for stability during boot) then finally downloaded ThrottleStop and disabled BD_PROCHOT. Paging some other threads in case anyone needs solutions for this: Link 1 Link 2 Link 3

Updating the bios partially solved the issue. It's more stable now but it still drops down to 6.5 Amps occasionally. Pic for reference. I have manually set the long/short power limits to 4096 and the current limit to 256 amps, and disabled C states, but it hasn't solved the issue.

40°C when it's able to draw current and boost to stock. 21°C at 0.79GHz If I stress the whole system with FPU GPU and RAM on AIDA64 it gets to 60°C and stays relatively stable in terms of current draw. But it still fluctuates like 10 Amps up and down probably due to the GPU stress test or something. I'll run it separately. Full system stress test pic.

True, the PSU voltages are rock steady, all of them. Then what could it be? Did the mobo just died in the middle of a game session? Forgot to mention that after the issue started I reset the BIOS so that's out of the question.

I was playing TW3 today and suddenly I had extremely low framerate bursts, and decided to close the game. When I checked my task manager I was surprised to see that my CPU was pegged at 0.79GHz and never going above 20% usage. A few minutes later I think I found the culprit, it's the PSU's 12V rail that's causing the issue. The current can't go above 6.5 Amps no matter if it's under load or idle. Is the PSU dead, or it's the Mobo? Anyone else encountered this issue and can help me figure out what's causing this? The PSU is a Corsair RM750i and the mobo is an MSI Z170 Gaming M5 with a Core i7 6700K on it. Pics below: System idle AIDA Stress Test

Dude, I thank you with all of my heart. It's working now! The reason why I had the external source ports on is because on portforward.com it says that those need to be there.

Hello guys, I need some help to forward some ports on my ONT. I tried opening the 3389 port for RDP to connect remotely to my PC from outside the network (over the internet) but for some reason, it's not working. I tried connecting from an Android device over LTE to my computer using RDP and it fails everytime. I have attached a screenshot with my setting from my ONT (marked out my PC mac address). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

SOLVED: I restarted my computer and closed every other monitoring tools but AIDA64. Now the voltages are reported rock steady.

What the actual hell is wrong with my power supply? It has some REALLY high fluctuations in voltages. Can someone confirm that this is just a bug, and my PSU is not about to explode?

You're wrong. Installed an older driver and it's working now. Edit: Apparently you're the one that's having no idea how SLI works, my friend. I'm just bad at googling.

The first one is Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming and the other one is MSI Gaming 4G

No, they have to have the same ammount of VRAM and the same GPU Processor.

Hello, I'm using two different 970s and I cannot enable SLI, all of the options in NVCP are grayed out. Both of my cards are properly connected and the bridge is connected too. What am I supposed to do?
