  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.
  13. Yes. They are in the correct DIMM slots and I do have the latest BIOS version
  14. Hey guys. So I have a MSI Z390 A pro motherboard, i5 9600k CPU, and 2x8gb of Corsair vengence 3200mhz cl16 RAM. My RAM is always defaulting to 2133mhz. When I try to XMP it, it changes it to 1.35V in the motherboard and 3200mhz. But Windows constantly bluescreens and wont load at all. Always a different blue screen error. I can make the RAM work at 2666mhz at 1.35V.. Why can't it work at 3200mhz and be stable? I had the same issue with a pair of 2x8gb hyperx 2666mhz RAM. This corsair RAM was to replace this one. The HyperX would never go to 2666mhz, and would always stay at 2133mhz. If I had changed anything for the hyperx to higher than 2133mhz, then my PC would just say that my overclock settings have failed after rebooting from BIOS. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks
  15. Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone else has a router that has DumaOS on it? I have the XR500 by Netgear, and there has not been a firmware update in years. The most recent update was just to add support for French ISP TV and that was August last year. I have also seen multiple websites publish vulnerabilities in the router, which has not been addressed by Netgear or the DumaOS team. Apparently XR300 users also have not been getting updates. It's like the entire OS and security is completely abandoned and they no longer support the router, while they are still selling units. My ISP router gets a firmware update like every 6 months or something.. The price premium on these routers is the operating system, "DumaOS". It's so sad that it isn't supported or maintained.. The same type of router without DumaOS was 100 euros cheaper.. Very expensive operating system that isn't supported
  16. Hey guys. I am moving into a new place that has 10gbps internet (it was only like 10 euros more a month than the 2gbps package). Issue is, my current router (XR500) has a maximum WAN speed of 1gbps. The official internet speed of my new house will be 8gbps download and 600mbps upload, with my ISP also saying the upload also having a "burst" of 1200mbps. I know that 10 gigs is complete overkill, but the pricing isn't bad at all. Can anyone recommend a router that has a 10 gigabit WAN with some 10gbps LAN ethernet ports too? I also saw that I will need to upgrade my ethernet to CAT7 to support 10gbps. Is that the right cable I would need? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated
  17. I don't use Windows. But "dmidecode --type 17" in the Linux terminal reveals that my sticks are running at 2133MT/s (Mh/s). My RAM is 2666, but I cannot get it higher than 2133. When I tried with only one of the sticks, it went to 2433. Then the other stick is only running at 2133. So the one stick is bringing down the other. But I would rather have 16gb 2133 than 8gb 2433. I am gonna get the Corsair vengeance LPX 3000 at cl15 to replace these soon.. And just sayin', I always used Corsair RAM before I bought this Kingston junk. Never had a problem with them
  18. The default voltage is 1.2V and is on "auto" mode. Wouldn't 1.4V kill the sticks? Plus, I have been able to get the speed to 2133Mhz. Any higher, and the system won't boot. I will try and make the voltage a bit higher but is 1.4V safe?
  19. Hey. Thanks for the reply. I had done that before, but I tried again. This is what happens:
  20. Hey guys. I got a bit of an issue.. I got these RAM sticks a few months ago. 2x8 HyperX, ‘2666mhz’. The first day, it showed 1300Mhz in the bios. Apparently that is normal because the DDR speed shown in bois shows the speed that is not not doubled. But now why is my RAM showing up as 800Mhz? Also, since day 1, overclocking this RAM was impossible. PC always crashes when I try overclocking or even MSI XMP mode. I am running the latest BIOS. And when benchmarking my pc, it says that my ram is performing in the worse 8% and that I should enable XMP (but i cant because system crashes). Any tips would be greatly appreciated (:
  21. Hey guys. I am looking for a laptop (less than $1,500) on Amazon, or anywhere else, but I cannot find one. I can only find older models, or some with bad reviews. Now I am into Desktops and gaming PCs, but this laptop that I am looking for is for work. Nothing gaming related. Just a lot of work. Should have SSD, HDD too, a big screen, not small like most newer laptops have, and should be able to handle a lot of programs opened at the same time. Can anyone suggest me anything? Again, there is absolutely no gaming on this PC. Just work. Also, should be nice and portable as I travel a lot. Thanks
  22. Seems like the mobo could be frying your components.. Take your PC to a PC shop and they can test it with a different mobo. If that is the case, just get another one and everything should be fine.
