  1. It worked! You sir, are a genius. Thank you
  2. Hey guys. So I have a Asus 144hz g sync compatible monitor and a rtx 3070 graphics card. I recently installed Windows again as dual boot and I just remembered that I need to enable g sync. I cannot find that option in the nvidia control panel. I tried Googling but I cannot find anything to help me with this.. Any suggestions? Is it possible that it is enabled and there is just no option to toggle it? I have the latest Nvidia driver and my monitor is a Asus VG278 1080p Edit: Added screenshots
  3. I have got no plans on overclocking. Do you think air cooling would work better in this case? Then I can put the extra money towards 2x Corsair ML fans to put in the front which will help force air in? This is also my first time I would be moving to water cooling
  4. Hey guys. I am looking at upgrading my setup. I am going to get the rtx 3070, i7 10700k, and Arctic Freezer II 280mm AIO cooler. So it will be pretty toasty in the case. All of this will be put into the h510 case. From what I see, it comes with 2x fans, one top mounted and one at the back. I am planning on putting my Arctic Freezer II 280mm in the front of the case. Would this setup work? What are your guys thoughts about it? I heard that the h510 case has pretty bad airflow, which is why I am a bit indecisive.. Any suggestions would be great!
  5. Update: They are apparently working on a massive update called DumaOS 3. It is currently in Beta and will be coming to the XR500 router. No release date though
  6. Just an update: I redid the thermal paste, and I was very generous. I then put the graphics card back into my PC and booted it up, and the light on the GPU went on for like 5 seconds then turned off, while all my other PC components were running. My GPU fans were still running while the lights were off. I am 100% sure that the card is dead. I ordered a MSI rtx 2060 venus xs and was able to pay in monthly payments for 4 months, which is pretty disappointing since it isn't much of an upgrade.. Was gonna upgrade to the RTX 3060 when it came out. Plus I am sure this card I just bought is gonna have a price drop when Ampere is announced
  7. I opened up my gpu and checked it again. It was covering the entire die completely. Anymore paste and it would have leaked out onto those dot connectors. I can clean it off and try again with a bit more paste. Is it okay if it spreads out and touches those little connectors?
  8. Hey guys. I have a EVGA gtx 1070 superclocked. My GPU temps was hitting 90c at times - and around 60 at idle. so I thought I would replace the thermal paste. I replaced it with V1 IC Value thermal compound from Cooler Master, and cleaned out the dust in the heat sinks. Cleaning the old thermal paste was a hassle. I used 95% alcohol and coffee filters (lint free). The old thermal paste that was pre applied was hard. It came off in chunks and was so dry. I cleaned up and applied my thermal compound. I did not overdo it, and was pretty conservative with the paste. Anyway, I booted my PC up and I got 55c at idle, which was a big improvement. Then I tried gaming.. I opened up Red Dead Redemption. I was not even 2 minutes loaded into the game, and my screen went black, but I could still hear audio for about a minute, until my PC restarted. This keeps happening. And I can get about 30 minutes to an hour with my PC if I am not gaming, until the same thing happens. I removed my GPU and I am now using intel graphics, and there is no restarting. Is my GPU done for? Has anyone else had this? I am willing to try anything to fix this.. A RTX 2060 is 350 euros, which I will not be able to get for at least 3 months..
  9. Alright guys. So I am able to get my system 100% stable at 2666mhz with timings of 13-15-15-30 and voltage at 1.35. This is for the 2x 8GB corsair vengence 3200mhz cl16 RAM. Are those timings good? Do you think I can get away with cutting it down even more and still get a solid system?
  10. Hey. So I can get my system stable if I underclock to 2666mhz and stay at 1.35V. The timings are 16-18-18-36. Would it be worth changing some of the timings? I am thinking of 15-16-16-36 but I am kinda scared to touch the timings since I am not that familiar with them
  11. I did increase voltage to 1.4V and ran a windows memory diagnostics test. It detected an error and said I have a hardware issue only 6% into the standard scan. Not sure what to do now.. These blue screens are so annoying and could lead to data loss eventually
  12. All memory timings is correct to what corsair says the RAM should run at.. But I still get instant blue screen.
