    It means that the CPU is unstable and needs more voltage,You lowered it too much.

     

    Try a custom fan curve for the CPU,if that doesn't work well, then simply buy a better cooler.

    I lowered the voltage cause it was hitting 95ish under small loads, it has dropped a little but not much. It's only on a 120 coolermaster AIO, i have a 360AIO coming in an hour, so going to test that out

  2. So i bought this PC secondhand from someone, and it had a 4.9Ghz ovcerclock on it. I had checked the temps and were seeing around 90-94c.

     

    I saw the voltage was at 1.30v, so i lowered it to 1.25v. just tried running prime95, and half the cores had stopped working.

     

    What do i need to do to get this a stable overclock?

  3. So, after about 5 months of using a laptop, i could finally afford to get a new setup!

     

    The tower i bought second hand as it was cheaper to do so as well as the monitors!.

     

    Specs of the setup are:

    i7-9700K 3.6GHz

    32GB ddr4 3200MHz Corsair ram.

    GeFroce RTX 2070 Zotac AMP Extreme

    ASUS TUF Z370-PLUS GAMING II Motherboard

    240GB Boot up drive + 2TB HDD

     

    3x AOC FreeSync G2778V Gaming monitors

     

     

    So far this has been the best PC i have ever owned... and well excited to see what it can push out in frame rates!

    One of those solid wood or particle board desktops will be more than strong enough to hold a triple monitor stand with a clamp mount.  With that, you shouldn't have anymore trouble at all.

     

    Those paper-fill desktops from Ikea have caused plenty of problems for our customers using our clamp-mounted monitor stands, where they'd find one day that their monitors were face down with a big hole in the back of the desk!  The desktops are fine for anything else, but they're definitely not made for clamps.

    Yeah, i didnt realise they were cardboard filled haha. Have that worktop coming wednesday, then hopefully if im not too tired after work i can put these ikea legs on, and finally have the setup done. :D

    That's not bad, but you can save yourself a few bucks by DIY. You don't need much except the board and a stain. You likely have sandpaper and a sponge at home. 

    Yeah, it's just time, i dont have a lot of it due to work, haha. :(

  6. Just now, ARikozuM said:

    Yes, it would work. If you're drilling your triple stand into the desk you're going to need a solid board at least 1/2" thick. 

    Won't be drilling, it's just clamped on. like this one is, but this table is to weak haha. but i'm not paying £40 for shipping, so ill have to look somewhere els i suppose.

  7. I have the H100i GTX cooling my I5-4690K, and it's currently at around 30-35c  At idle. Surely it would be at about 25ish? under 30? (Not sure what is causing this) and also my GPU went too 71c while just having Worldofwarcraft up. I don't think ive ever seen it go above 60ish.

     

    Anyway. I'm looking at replacing the fans on this cooler, as they are completely loud as heck. And so is the pump for some reason in default/performance mode, or is that normal?

     

    What would you guys suggest i replace the fans with? I have been looking at the SP 120s. But not sure.

     

    Suggestions? :)

     

    Also, how much would it cost for a full custom loop? Say, i had a £100ish budget. (if you can get them that cheap? would be just for the CPU and GTX 970

  8. I'm currently looking to get 3 new monitors, hopefully for £100 or less. I've come across one of these.

    Little over the £100 i wanted to spend but thats ok.

     

     

    Yes i'm in the UK, so needs to be from a UK site please! :)

     

    I'll be using it for gaming/multitasking etc. But i'm not sure which would be best. Anyone have any suggestions? Would like it to be a 24 inch.

  9. Hi! So i have recently just gone from a pre-built HP Pro desktop to a custom built intel computer and though i would show a few pics of it off. :)

     

    My old HP pro had a quad core AMD chip (One of the laptop ones but built into a desktop, with 4gb ram, 500gb HDD, windows 8.1) was so horrible to game on! :'(

     

    I recently saved up, and finally got around to building a much bigger, and better one! and i couldn't be happier. Although, I am still in need of an SSD, and another 8GB ram. But that will come in due time i hope! :D

     

    Here are the current specs of my PC.

     

     

    Intel Core i5 4690K @ 3.5GHz
    ASRock Z97 Anniversary Socket 1150 7.1 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
    Gigabyte GTX 970 OC WINDFORCE 3X 4GB GDDR5
    8GB DDR3 RAM
    500GB WD HDD
    Thermaltake Water 3.0 Performer C Universal Water Cooling System
    EVGA Supernova 750W Fully Modular 80+ Gold Power Supply
    Phanteks Enthoo Pro Black Full Tower Case with Side Window Fitting with SMD 50/50 RGB L.E.D lights(multi function etc)
    Razer Naga MMO gaming mouse. (17 buttons)
    22" Widescreen LG monitor.
    CM-STORM blue back lit keyboard.
    5.1 surround sound XENTA speakers.
     
    Hope you like what you see. and feel free to post a few of your's as i'd love to see them!

  10. I guess there is no way to get it all from 1 site? i don't mind if it costs a bit more. I don't really want all the hassle from ording it from 4 different sites + paying more postage.

     

    I may go with an AMD build. Or i really don't know, which one would work out better?

  11. Does your budget have to include an operating system? Such as windows.

    Nope. i have windows already.

     

     

    *P.S*

    Ignore my sig. that was my OLD rig, which i wish i never sold :( As i got a job and didn't game at all.... but now i only work 3 days a week... i wanted to get back into it... Silly i know. lol
