Thanks for your help. -
I didn't. To be safe, should I just bump it to 1.4v and run it?

I recently put together a new build featuring a Ryzen 5 2600X, Asus TUF B350, and team group vulcan DDR4 3000. I verified that the ram was on the QVL for my mobo. As expected, it defaults to 2133 without messing with the bios. However, when I went into the bios and changed the speed to 3000, it failed to post and I had to reset the CMOS, which was a giant pain in the ass. How do I safely get my ram to its rated speed, given that that ram kit at that speed is on the QVL? Or at least, how do I get it closer to 3000? I'd rather avoid having to take the gpu out and reset the CMOS again. Thanks!

There's a massive power difference between your CPU and your GPU. If you want any semblance of balance, you need a better CPU- For a 1080 ti, get an i5 or Ryzen 5 at a minimum. Source: own 1080 ti

Help putting together budget build
NotDaveMustaine replied to jaysangwan32's topic in New Builds and Planning
More of a personal preference thing: I would look for a matx case. My friend did his budget build with an matx board in an mid tower and it just looks goofy. Idk if you had already considered this. Cheers! -
Just ran a burn test for you, since I like you so much (winky face). In my windowed Fractal R5 it's basically a very dull hum... while keeping the CPU at 56 C.

Not to go off menu, but I'm a huge fan of the Cryorig H5. It's currently 48 pounds on UK Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/cryorig-H5-Universal-Cooler-radiator-refoidisseurs/dp/B00MBTOY2S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496176943&sr=8-1&keywords=cryorig+h5). I use it to cool my OCed i7 6700k and it does so effortlessly. It also looks really good- an area where noctua drops the ball. The fan is pretty quiet, it's not unnecessarily massive, and it just plain works at a good price. As a bonus, the thermal paste included is no slouch either.

realistically spending less than that on a 'mech' keyboard will be dicey as all getout- speaking from experience. If you don't want it stolen (but want it to work), membrane is probably best for that use case.

razer blackwidow refurbished. Highly recommended.

MFW I see the presenter isn't nick or linus....

This guy is right. Even though he commented first I did not see it, and I missed the PSU in the parts list. Your power supply is scary bad.

GPU is your priority. GTX 1050 ti or 1060.

*Laptop keeps overheating more than normal* PLEASE HELP
NotDaveMustaine replied to Dimitrov67's topic in Troubleshooting
I've had a laptop where the heat pipes got old and became useless. That's a safe bet. -
Ayyyy represent I believe it's too much too fast. USBC is objectively better, but we haven't shifted there yet as a society. Consumers didn't want a 100% C computer, and it seems like it could be yet another thing that will slowly poison Apple's well as far as being completely oblivious to consumer demand. I want Apple to do well, I just really don't like how they've been doing stuff in the past 5-10 years.

Could be defective heat pipes or crappy default thermal paste. Well, there's definitely crappy thermal paste. Also, clean your fans out.
