solved; removed the two charred caps, cleaned the area and will cover it in some insulating compound - gpu outputs just fine & will underclock just to be sure thank you all!

I don't own such a machine unfortunately, I cleaned the area with an old toothbrush to get rid of the carbonized stuff

sadly the pads are gone, no easy soldering job - some of the copper melted a fair bit but I don't think it went through the next layer. There's a second cap on top but from my rudimentary multimeter measure it isn't a short despite the copper being melted around that too

Heya, yesterday my monitors suddenly turned off and upon power cycling my machine the smd cap by what I assume to be the 5mOhm current sensing resistor blew - I've cleaned the area up somewhat and got rid of the failed capacitor - I've no idea where or how to reach out to find the exact value nor do I think it is possible to really solder one on without some specialized pcb equipment; the exposed copper is a +12 or +5V power plane (direct short to one of the pcie power pins) and the other side of the blown cap is a short to ground - i'm assuming its some kind of a filtering capacitor right behind the current sensing resistor - assuming the place isn't shorted anywhere else; how should I proceed? would simply leaving out one of the caps be a big deal assuming there isn't a short anywhere else? I've no idea why this occurred and I am certain my PSU isn't the issue - I didn't cheap out on it unlike this card! Any help would be appreciated, ty! edit: pcb has the marking n107t-2sdn-p5ds

alright thanks all, I’ll fiddle with the overclock settings and see what I can push out of the chip thanks again

the latter most likely yh, haven't touched the settings in a while i suppose redoing the settings it is then

OH right even if so though, impossible a 3930k beats it - these scores are way too low for a chip overclocked this much

yeah i've done that when i was running the benchmark still no way it can underperform that much, a stock X5680 is faster than a X5650

just a quick question as I decided to run cinebench this evening for lols and saw this i don't even see how this can make any sense, my cpu def isn't thermal throttling or anything, anything that could be causing this? p sure it's the source of my gpu bottleneck(s) also

@Lukypany ideas besides that reinstall? I'm seriously clueless at this point tbh

I'm sort of reviving this reinstalled my OS to win10 pro, ran VRMark and the only improvement I can see is 6023 score - still 2,000 below what it used to be any ideas, perhaps?

it's good, as long as you got no junk in it

well if you say that you get POST beeps with different memory then it's easy to narrow the problem down

is that single 500gb nvme going to be enough for all games combined?

check it with other software, HWmonitor or even task manager but yes, it should be normal, not all chips are perfect and hit the marketed 4.6GHz
