Does your PC have onboard graphics? If so, you could just plug whatever display cable you are using into that port rather than into your GPU's. That might work.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by PSU switch? I understand that you can turn on/off the main power but what do you mean by turning it on with a PSU switch?

I doubt it would. Your PSU already doesn't consume necessarily all of it's wattage at all times. Most of the time you have to worry about how much power is able to flow through your PSU itself to your parts rather than the outlet to your PSU. Do you know your wattage for your PSU?

It wouldn't hurt to check your thermals on the card? It could be getting too hot since you said it only happens while gaming. Also would be wise to make sure all of your drivers are up to date, especially your GPU drivers.

Did you change the sleep timer for each power mode? Like balanced, high performance, etc.?

It is being operated in a really humid environment?

Have you tried going to power options in the control panel?

When I first got my GTX 1060 3GB, it did the same thing and I ended up having to RMA the GPU.

definitely would prefer the gaming oriented headphones

Already, sounds good to me. Thanks for the recommendation!

Those look great honestly. Do they have a included software? It's not a deal-breaker if they don't, just curious.

If you are already overclocking that high in GHz, unless the monitoring software you have has defects and you desire higher GHz(good luck) then your temps seem pretty good I'd say.

Recently the mic in my Corsair Void Surround headset(wired) has gave out. While I could probably go through a complicated warranty process, I'm not really trying to put in any effort into a replacement headset that has already had complications within less than a year. I'm looking for headset that is has dolby surround or at least emulates it well, has an attached mic, can be worn for a long period of time, and a plus would be it being comfortable while wearing glasses. The preferred budget is in the range of $50-$100 but if there is a decent cheaper headset, then I wouldn't mind the mention. Anyone have any recommendations?

It'll likely be fine so long as you don't try and make any of your parts draw anymore power than they do by default. Having a decently rated PSU helps a lot also. Bronze, Gold, etc.

You could trying taking out the ram and bios battery(doing so while the machine completely disconnected from a power source). After they have both been removed, try reinstalling them. Some times those two things hold onto a sort of memory. Not saying it'll 100% work, but it's worth a try.

How are your thermals?

Because it isn't necessarily causing any issues, you could just leave it as is. But because one of these times it may not work with just restarting, I'd try contacting support for Microsoft to see if they have a quick fix. Better safe than sorry.

Definitely worth a try.

I think it may just be with CS:GO, if it was jittery in all of the games that you play then maybe I'd question the mouse but because it is only that game in particular, I doubt it.

Is there a reason you want to overclock in the first place?

That's strange. Does the mouse ever stutter in other games or just CS:GO in particular?

That's a wireless mouse isn't it? It you move the receiver closer the the mouse itself it may help. I was experiencing small stutters with my Logitech G602 until I decided to use the USB extender cable they provided to move my USB receiver closer. Since then all of my issues have stopped.

BitLocker is an encryption service provided by Windows I believe by default. Did the Surface come pre-encrypted or did you encrypt it yourself?

Reflashing the VGA bios on the gpu?
