  1. My two cents: Your 8600k isn't bottlenecking your 1070ti. I've got a 1700x and GTX1080 and my CPU isn't bottlenecking my performance You should close or remove unnecessary programms game booster don't work, overclock your CPU if you're comfortable with it You bought an unlocked cpu so you better use it otherwise you wasted money At idle you shoud be around 1-10% CPU load otherwise something is wrong with Chrome, Rainmeter, Word, Excel and Taskmanager I'm getting 3% of load. run malewarebyte or roguekiller on your system even a fresh windows install can get maleware fast. Why is "Desktop Window Manager" taking 10% of your load? I don't even have that process running on my pc Hope I helped Quote me if you want additional help
  2. I think that depends all the coolant you're gonna use. I wouldn't recommend to use distilled water with stainless steel as distilled water is corrosive. From some work in a laboratory I know that highly distilled water is not allowed in stainless steel containers because it corrode fast. You won't be able to get "pure water" in any store but I would still do some research on a right coolant if you go for stainless steel.
  3. Didn't use any of the proper watercooling stuff I own just some cheap ebay stuff so something dramatic would have been fun. I've got a "spare" ek mx waterblock which leaks a bit maybe I will sometime try it again with that block instead of a aluminium one.
  4. Nope, really boring. waterblock froze ice "expanded" into tubing no water flow through block heat rises ice melts it didn't froze fast enough to crack anything.
  5. I've had thermodynamics lectures at uni so no I don't think that.
  6. I tried it once with a single 280 Rad and no heat load on the cold side of the loop my tubing froze...
  7. Should have build a TE-Cooler that can atleast get sub zero temps.
  8. Thanks for the reassuring! I just played around with it and didn't try to get the best clocks with the lowest voltage. What is the "save long time voltage" for ryzen with adequate cooling? But distilled water with biocide doesn't taste good
  9. I can't cool my drinks with my custom loop? what a waste of money.
  10. First of all my Setup: Hardware: Ryzen 1700x Asus Crosshair VI Hero GTX 1080 Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB Custom Loop: EK-Supremecy EVO Inoovatek Eheim HPPS Plus (silent mode) XSPC EX360 Rad + 3xNocuta NF-12 EK-Coolstream CE280 + 2x Stock case fans about 1 Liter of loop volume I've recently build my new pc mainly from used parts to save money. I just played around a bit with overclocking and thought my temperatures are a bit high. 3950MHz @ 1.3875V (on all cores) During 100% load the temps on the package level out on 57°Celsius (134,6°F). All Fans were set to 100% at 25° Celsius (77°F) ambient temperature At idle with fans still spinning at 100% the temps bounce between 28°-35°C (82.5°-95°F) I just think the temps are a bit high keeping in mind the two radiators cooling just the cpu, what do you think?
  11. If you want to have headphones with "pretty clear" sound I would recommend you open-back headphones. Those would also fit with your demand of no noise cancellation as they let ambient noise pass through. I own the "Teufel Aureol Real" (80$) and I love their ear pads. You can wear them all day without any problem and the soft fabric material is well ventilated so no hot ears. The sound quality is, in my opinion, really got for the price point but I have to add that they aren't Bass heavy at all. (I compared them to some AKG one in the same price range) What they out-perform in sound quality they lack in build quality. They are mostly plastic and feel kind of cheap, but after over one year of daily use and even traveling nothing broke.
  12. there is a screenshot threat: Just so you find someone who cares.
  13. The slightly shorter pin shouldn't be a problem, because it looks like there should still be contact. Maybe you have the option to use another connection? GTX750 does have an VGA and HDMI port? borrow a cable or monitor for testing? Do the fans of the GPU spin? If so do they spin at 100% all the time? Fans spinning at 100% and no video signal could be a case of dead gpu
  14. The game uses about 14GB at maximum so 8GB is a bottleneck but it wont affect fps as textures can load in at lower quality first and after some time refresh.
  15. I'm late to the party but here are my two cents: Waiting is always a good option with Star Citizen but the "minimum" of 45 fps which you want wont be a thing even in 3.2. With a Ryzen 1700x, GTX1080 and 32GB of Ram I'm getting 18-35FPS no matter the resolution or settings so 45 will be unrealistic. I've played it with 8GB before my ram upgrade and the performance difference wasn't that big. But if you want quality gameplay wait until further into the development because you can currently get a maximum of 30-40hours of gameplay out of the game and that with poor performance.
  16. I have 32GB of RAM and Star citizen uses (as of the r_displayinfo 3 command ingame) 14GB at maximum. The Dips are mostly sever side or if an unpredictable event happens (like crashing my Cutlass into a station). I've played it from 1080p up to 4k the fps does not really change a lot.
  17. that does count as maxed out. You checked your thermals maybe you're thermal throtteling?
  18. If I understand you're goal right you want to have a screensaver(static image) which you can only unlock if you use the right key to do so? I don't know of any software which does that, but Windows does have the feature that you have to unlock the computer with a password after being in screensaver mode. It's just somewhere in the default Screensaver settings.
  19. I had the problem of a overheating PSU but then it only shut down while gaming cause only then enough power is used. The "shutdown" was also abrupt, it just turned off like you unplugged it and no reboot on it's own. I would definitely try a BIOS flash, or at least check the Bios in general if anything abnormal shows up. Check temperatures of your system if possible run chkdsk and memtest both work while booting you you don't have a problem with you pc shutting down right after going into the OS What brand is you Power Supply? Maybe still in warranty?
  20. Use your apu to download all drivers for the system, including for the gpu, and then try it after a reboot. Maybe try a BIOS reset or bios update on the motherboard?
  21. IT IS STEAM. After everything working again I tried to install a game and that caused the same problems again. A reboot was this time enough to fix it but why would steam mess up my HDD?
  22. I think It will make difference. You think if you have one 360 radiator or three 120mm radiator it's the same surface area so the same cooling. BUT with the 3x120mm rads you loose some of the cooling fins to the inlet and outlet of the rad. The difference nevertheless be really small and for a cleaner build and less failure points I would not recommend doing the 3x120mm approach.
  23. Today a reseated the CPU and now the RAM seems to be working again. But I would still like to know what caused the HDD to act weird. haunted hardware I guess
  24. Disconnecting the HDD didn'T change anything but after some testing I found out this: Both ram sticks work on their own only two of the sockets do work (one of each color) only one stick at the time works Both sticks worked at the same time so what could be the problem? the Windows Memory test you can run on startup didn't bring up any message after finishing EDIT: updated the bios but that didn't change anything
  25. CrystalDiskInfo now says that the drive is in "good" condition
