Thanks thats been helpful!

Ah thanks for that. I was more worried about the voltage as it seemed excessive so thought the motherboard might have set it to high by default.

Never exceed 75 under heavy constant load. Usually stay at around 68-71C.

Hi all, Recently upgraded from a 7700k to the Ryzen 3950x and have a Corsair H115i RGB PLATINUM 97 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler. I am idling between 46-55C which seems high and the Voltage is idling at 1.4V which also seems high. I have not overclocked at all and everything is at stock, other than memory profile which has DOCP enabled. Is anyone else experiencing temps and voltages at this level?

Thanks for the advice all. I am planning on upgrading from the 7700k to a 10700k. I think my best bet will be to transfer everything I need to my second (Games etc) and do a clean install of windows on my main SSD to be safe.

Hi All, I am replacing my CPU and Motherboard but keeping most of the rest of the parts of my PC that I built previously here: I am looking to simply swap out the CPU and Motherboard and was wondering if that will be all that is required, or will I have to re-install windows on my SSD due to compatibility issues, or will it be a simply swap out? Any guidance on this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi All, I just wanted to see if anyone here has experience with Google WiFi or other mesh networking in the UK. The reason I ask this for UK specifically is that I use Sky Q with Virgin's Super Hub 3. I know I can put the super hub into modem mode and then use the google WiFi hub as a router connecting it to 2 other hubs. The issue I have is that I am aware that Sky Q boxes for TV (Sky Q 2TB & Sky Mini) create their own mesh network and communicate together. Will this cause any problems with connecting or any interference issues? Any help / advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

i think a lot has to do with the size of the monitor / TV and how far away you sit from it. I swapped out a 40" 1080p Samsung with the latest 4k model and the graphics comparison is night and day for me as I only sit about 4ft away. Like others have said though, video's wont do it justice, you need to go into a store and look at a side by side comparison.

Just my opinion but I think this phone looks great! Trading in my Galaxy S8 for this on release! Who else is getting it and what are your thoughts?

Why because I asked a reasonable question? At max settings and 100% GPU usage I get temps of just below 70C with a custom fan curve. My main consideration with the overclock will be the increase in temperature and I have herd that on this card bottle-necking can occur in the mid 70's.

So I am just looking to see if its worth overclocking this. I have seen some reviews on youtube stating the the overclock on this card only equates to small FPS increase. I run all games at 4k on ultra or high and it already looks incredible. Does overclocking shorten the life of a card when its already at its limit so to speak? This is my setup below, I run on a Samsung MU6400 40" display which has a 10bit panel so I get full 4k HDR on it.

What software are you using to set your fan curve? Afterburner?

I use the Samsung MU6400 and it works great. Its a 10bit panel so offers the complete HDR color gamut. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-MU6400-40-Inch-SMART-Ultra/dp/B06XWQXSDV/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1502710352&sr=8-2&keywords=mu6400

Have you tried booting up in safe mode?

Before you start buying new RAM try a clean install of windows.
