  1. I haven't tried a DDU but I have the newest NVidia drivers and I installed them with a clean install option. I did figure out that using MSI Afterburner would let me control the fan speed which helps regulate temps, so that's good I guess
  2. Hi everyone, I recently upgraded my game storage device from HDD to M.2 SSD. I tried cloning over at first, which did not work at all. So I ended up doing a completely fresh install of windows, drivers, programs, etc. The problem I am having now is that whenever I attempt to play games downloaded on the M.2 or HDD my GPU instantly goes to 100% usage and will continually heat up (to even 90C+) without turning fans on past 50% usage. I also hear some coil whine coming from the GPU when this happens as well. The GPU I have is a HP reference style GTX 1070. I personally don't have an issue with the GPU being at 100%, I would just like to maybe learn how I can set the fans to match the utilization? I have already tried everything I can think of, including re-downloading all drivers, reformatting the SSD and HDD and nothing seems to work. I am also a little skeptical because even when I reduce settings to the minimum or play with VSYNC ON the card still runs at 100% usage. Also, I know my PC never struggled with games like Apex Legends or Age of Empires before the SSD upgrade. At this point I am wondering if this is windows issue, storage issue, or GPU dying. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
  3. I've been wanting a new pc for over a year but every time I try to set something up it falls through so here I am again. I was looking for some good performance at a low cost and a friend recommended craigslist. I was looking and found this set up. Cpu: i7-3770kGPU: MSI 1070, 8GB VramBoot Drive: Samsung 850/ ssd 250GB (Main Boot Drive)Storage: 1x hdd 500GBPSU: Evega 500watt/ Platinum ratedRam: kingston/2x8GB 1800MghzCooler: Thermaltake Water3.0 (front mounted CPU cooler)CaptureCard: Avermedia 1080pCase: Corsair 540 (White)Windows 10, 64bit version Included Dell 4K S2817Q 28" All for 900 , maybe even less if I can haggle a little. I was just wondering if this is too good to be true or should I try to go through on it?
  4. Call of Duty:Black Ops, as in the first one not the series, every CoD game after that has been pretty bad . CoD WWII looks promising but we will see.
  5. Haha thanks, Ill probably look into a otterbox or lifeproof just because I drop my phone too much lol.
  6. Yeah they seem pretty evenly matched, I might try the iPhone just because I had a galaxy last time. Since you have a 7+ do you have any recommendations for a case, etc?
  7. So my phone broke a few days ago, and now I need a new one. I was thinking either iphone 7+ or samsung s8+. I cant really decide and some input would be nice.

  9. Do you think I could spend less on the gpu? I am basically only playing LoL.
  10. Well, I made a account on this forum to ask you guys for some advice on a build. I am living in the US so please make the price in USD. I am looking to play games like LoL and go on the Web. I already have a mouse and monitor but am still in need of a keyboard. I'm looking to spend preferably less than $600. Thanks for the help! - Ethan
