EDIT: I no longer need help, Ive found the problem! Well, I find myslef in this situation: 1 long, 2 short Indicates a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information But whats funny about this is that this only happens when I unplug the GPU, then when I try to boot it starts beeping, if I plug the GPU and try to boot it just doesnt boot, doesnt POSTs (I dont hear the short beep that its supposed to make when a pc POSTs correctly). I've tryed using the VGA and HDMI ports of the GPU and of the MOBO (with the GPU plugged and unplugged). I dont know what to do My conclusion is that the mobo is dead What do you guys think? Thanks for any answer in advance UPDATE: it POSTs with the GPU plugged in but I have no video output, regardless I plug the HDMI to the GPU or the mobo. Regarding with what I said before, the pc not POSTing with the GPU unplugged doesnt make sense imo since IM supposed to be able to use a pc without a GPU, just with the integrated graphics (which it has). P.D: I've tryed different displays which I know that are working and still output UPDATE2: right now Im testing the gpu in another PC and in a first try to boot the pc just froze at windows session load (right after I typed the pass). I just hitted the power button and it shutdown after half a min. Then in a second try it booted normally and now I got the GPU working well... Seems like I was right with my first conclusion... The mobo is very likely to be dead... Its a proprietary mobo from acer, Ive never trusted proprietary stuff ti be honest, they always fail... LAST UPDATE: I thought that my cpu had integrated gpu (I didnt check it because I was positive) so thats why all of this was so confusing but I've realized that it doesnt, it doesnt have integrated graphics so thats why I couldnt POST without the gpu plugged in... So yeah, the gpu works in other pc, doesnt works in this one, guess that means 100% the mobo is dead

Are you using ryzen? Because ryzen gets more advantage from faster rams than the others, maybe thats why.

1) Buy a black and blue case (black with blue led fans or whatever suits you better) so you can save lots of money on fans. 2) I would get a cheaper mobo, Im sure that there are 100-120$ mobos which would suit you better since you are getting a locked cpu. 3) a RX 480 for a 1800$ buged ? Nope. Get a 1070 or a 1080 and a higher refresh monitor 4) Since Im suggesting you to get a 1070/80, you should get a 600W psu (any GQ, B2 from EVGA will do a great job, dont go on the cheap in the psu, thats never a good idea. You can also check the LTT tier list) 5) You should really dig some more out there my friend! good luck!

Im not into Ryzen, Im sorry, but that I cant tell. But Im sure if you google It you will find tons of answers (?)

Well, the difference between 3200 and 2400 Hz (at the same latency) is about 2-4% of performance impact, Its negligible, you just get which ever are cheaper.

Yep, you have my blessing, go and buy them, they will be fine.

They are related by a simple math equation. Time = frequency / latency 3200/16 = 200 3000/15 = 200 2666/13 = 205.0796 The 3r module is marginally "worse" (theres no actual difference, none would ever tell) so if theres any difference between the prices, I would get which ever is cheaper (if they are all from reliable brands). I would keep in mind that not every cpu and mobo are compatible with high frequency modules, so make sure to check that.

He said that because AAA games are more demanding that "regular ones" on which he could be able to achieve those 144fps, I assume.

Yes It would. But since your display will outlast your PC by 2 or 3 times (and then It could be your secondary display) If you can afford a 144Hz display, I suggest you to do It and youll upgrade the rest of your HW later.

I dont undestand the question either. But if you were talking about a 144Hz display, no It isnt harder to get 60 fps at a 144Hz display. If you were talking about a pc capable of 144Hz, no again, It wouldnt be harder to get 60 fps. Edit: Yes, as I said before.

1050ti or 1050 if you have a even tighter budget IMO

Yeah, we know, but I think that what @RuLeZ wanted to say is: "with the build-in HW components that a regular system has nowadays, Its impossible to do It". It obviously not impossible if you install/use other kind of devices to get some amps and volts readings... GPUs can measure the power they are draining because the are meant to do that, they have been design and build with some specific HW components to make those readings, but soundcards, SSDs, HDDs, optical readers, card readers, peripherals, fans, etc they are not design to measure their power consumption, they dont have the specific HW to do that, so that leads us to everyones conclusion, the best way to achieve It is to design a PSU with a ammeter and voltmeter and allow It to send the data to the mobo so we can monitor those readings...

Hahaha, I thought about It but Its too much work, isnt worth the effort I think. Thanks again!

Yep, as I said, thats the peak watts, but I want to know the idle/low load consumption. Thank you everyone anyway for your quick answers!

I was thinking about that possibility, and since every component is connected to the mobo and the psu I thought maybe It was still possible, but they to be connected that doesnt mean they are sharing power consumption data with each other, they are not design to do that I guess.

Freesync and gsync are still not so popular, in a few years (I hope) they will be a common feature and monitors with adaptive technologies will be cheaper. Then if you have a tight budgets (as It looks like) I would buy a regular ips 1080p monitor (which youll use as a secondary monitor in 3-4 years maybe) and the 1050 ti and if you cant afford it (the gpu + monitor) , go for the 470 or even cheaper, the 460 (which performs great for "e-sports-like" games, and doest fairly good for AAA games) and remember to upgrade your monitor is always your first priority!

HI everyone! I do know how many peak watts my system drains from the wall, bu I was wondering what happens with that number when It is at idle. I'm just wondering how many watts It drains from the wall when not in load. Ive done a couple of google searches but everyone talk about a HW device which you plug to the wall and then you plug your pc to it so It can monitor how many watts you are draining which is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a SW which monitors the power consumption, if it does exist. If anyone know about such SW I would appreciate It! Thank you guys in advance!

Yep, It will work fine. I have a 4690 (locked, but I OCed it at 3.8 anyway to squeeze a bit more my old friend hehe) and a 760 and It works fine at high presets 60 fps stable with shadowplay active and this "last minute" recording feature active too. So yeah, with the 1050ti you will do great at ultra as well!

Wow. That was quick It looks like Im not up to date... Ill check them, thanks!

Has It been released yet? Or just revealed? As aways, if the answer is revealed -> W A I T F O R I N D E P E N D E N T B E N C H M A R K S. Cmon guys, its not that hard Take a brief look to the past...

Ive used a bigger screw driver + a hammer so you carve the screw by hammering the screwdriver (carefully). It works sometimes if its too stripped.

I would say that your i5 is totally bottlenecking you. Emulating is usually a very cpu-hungry task. Check your Task Manager when you run the emulator and you will get your answer

Which cpu/gpu do you have? Id like to test It eventually, so Im just curious And they are not resource-efficient because they have to calculate the behaviour of the emulated hardware to make with it calculus and also virtualise a OS which is running on the emulated hardware xD. Its pretty uneficient, moreover if the HW and SW are kinda new and complex (the NES and SNES f.e are very simple and they have been emulated for so long and they are very optimised)

It will be shut down within a minute. With a simple passive cooler it could last longer and maybe not shutdown due to overheating at all, but goodluck without any kind of dissipation

Theres an asus fan utility which allows you to controll every fan, look for it in the asus support web (AI Suite 3, which includes the "Fan Xpert 2+" thats the version for my Asus Z97-P). Anyway, I wouldnt worry if my fan is controlled by the cpus temperature unless It refigerates my gpu radiator or something like that.
