Becomes unresponsive, tried that already...

Okay, so I've tried running Rufus while the USB was plugged in and It wouldn't open...I cliked Run as Admin but Rufus didn't show up...but right as I unplugged the usb...Rufus showed up...literally not even a second after the unplug it showed up. Tried it 3 times and it was the same. Same thing with Windows's file explorer...when I plug the USB it instantly becomes unresponsive...(Not responding) pops up

Hi! I've recently found a USB Stick of mine that somehow got locked up 3 years ago on my old PC. It's a SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB I tried to plug it in but when I do so, the file explorer freezes(so does disk managment tool and etc..) Also, it doesn't show that status bar under the device name nor does it show the usb name in file explorer... Is there any way to force format it via Windows, Android Smartphone(got a OTG cable) or Linux?

Hello! I recently built a PC but in the last few weeks I started to have this feeling that my PC was somewhat outdated and just an average non high end PC. (Compared to the all new hardware that just came out) Specs: i7-6700k Asus ROG GTX1070 Strix OC Asus Z170 Pro Gaming/AURA Kingston HyperX Savage 3000Mhz 16GB (2×8GB) Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO FSP Fortron Hyper M 700W Modular PSU Zalman Z9 Neo White 1.3 TB worth of HDD storage No SSD yet(Planning on getting the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB) AOC Q2778VQE 27" 1ms 2k (non 144Hz) monitor Have I made any bad decisions in getting certain parts instead of others?

I'm aware that the whole speed of the igpu is important too...was just wondering about vram limit aswell Anyways, Thank You!

What's the limit then? Whenever everything starts to lag? Because of all the RAM gets used up from the windows and igpu side?

Hello, I can't increase the dedicated memory for my intergrated gpu on my i7-6700k(have to wait until my gtx1070 arrives) I have tried to do it via bios by setting the share memory to 1024mb(I have 16 gb of RAM so no problem) but it still stays at 128mb... I tried to do it with regedit and gmm key but it doesn't go above 512 mb... My mobo is Asus Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura btw. Intel drivers are up to date. Any ideas?

Hello! I've recently noticed that the voltage on 3.3V rail isn't 3.3 Volts...it's around 3.25v Both in Windows and Bios the voltage is the same. Other rails seem fine to me 12V = 12.192 , 5V = 5,000 - 5,040V (or are they?) My specs are: i7-6700k @ 4,0 Ghz (turbo boost 4.2 Ghz) No dedicated GPU at the moment Asus Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura Kingston HyperX savage DDR4 3000Mhz And the suspect - Fortron FSP Hyper M 700 W Modular PSU And of course, The PSU is not on that fancy PSU tier list. So...could it be that the PSU is somewhat faulty?

Hello! I was wondering what speed should my RAM be running at for best CPU/RAM life? My CPU is i7-6700k My mobo is Asus Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura My RAM is Kingston HyperX Savage DDR4 3000Mhz dual channel ram Soo what is the recommended speed to run the RAM at without putting too much stress on the IMC? I'm new to the whole RAM overclocking and the whole RAM speed managment... I've heard people say that around the 2666Mhz is the golden spot in terms of latency and speed but I'm not really sure if that's too much for the CPU's IMC, and do I just enable the XMP profile and that's it or do i need to increase other certain voltages like the IMC voltage or something like that? I've noticed when I enable the XMP 3000Mhz profile that the voltage is between 1.35V and 1.36V which seems a bit high to me since the motherboard itself changes the voltage number color from yellow to purple which indicates that it's approaching the limit or giving stress which I'm not too pleased with...is there a way to run the memory at let's say 2666Mhz but undervolt as far as It can go and still be stable or should it run at the XMP default voltage? Or should I just run the RAM at the Skylake's recommended speed of 2133Mhz? Is there really a big difference in usual task performance except the benchmark score? Thank You in advance!

Nope

This is when it's on default!

What do you mean default? When set to Auto/Default, the CPU takes over 1.360V when under load

I forgot to mention that I used AIDA64 and everything was fine and stable, no voltage spikes. Also used Prime95 while on Adpative voltage and I didn't see any voltage spikes. But I'm scared that I will run into a program that uses AVX instructions and that it will damage my CPU.

Yes, but I want to lower my Vcore voltage for lower temps and longer cpu life...but can't do soo because of the above mentioned problems.

For the past few days I've been destroying my mind with my CPU, I have an Asus Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura motherboard and i7-6700k with stock speeds(not going to OC...for a few years probably) cooled with CoolerMaster Hyper X 212 EVO. When the Vcore voltage in bios is set to Auto, the mobo sets the Vcore Voltage to 1.328V which according to all the Internet posts and stuff I've read is above the stock i7-6700K voltage. Seeing that I decided to take action and for the past few days I tried experimenting with various Vcore voltage modes. Soo far everything is stable at minimum of 1.170V when set to manual(didn't go below) I set it to manual voltage of 1.170V and everything seemed fine, but the only thing from keeping me away from that mode is that the Vcore voltage stays the same even when the CPU is in idle. Next I tried Adaptive voltage,In Adaptive voltage the first option was to leave everything "Set by CPU"... like offset voltage and turbo clock voltage all set By CPU which resulted in bios showing Vcore voltage of 1.184V which seems perfectly fine with me and since the cpu now has lower voltage at need, this results in cpu temps when in idle of 15° or less which is awesome...But the only thing keeping me from using this mode is the famous Voltage spikes because of AVX instructions...and that pisses me off since I really like the adaptive voltage mode. I've run Prime95 with small FTTs torture test for like 20 minutes, max temps were around 57° and haven't seen any voltage spikes. Max voltage at 4.2Ghz was around 1.153-1.165V which is far less than I've set in manual mode Second option in Adaptive voltage was to set all manually, I've set the Turbo Clock voltage of 1.180V and set an positive offset of 0.001V but when i saved those settings, rebooted the pc and entered bios again it showed CPU Core Voltage of 1.200V which is even above the voltage(1.180V) even for the CPU when it runs at turbo boost of 4.2Ghz!. Soo, I just want to know how can I solve this problem? Auto voltage(1.328V) is too high and shows max VID above 1.4V. Manual voltage option is great but keeps the cpu at same max voltage even when in idle. Adaptive voltage seems the best option and has the lowest idle and load temps but I don't want to face those voltage spikes and damage my CPU. Please help. Also, I currently don't have a GPU...incase that affects anything. Sorry for my bad English, not a native speaker!
