Gotcha thanks. Sometimes I wonder how I ever built this thing lol oh yeah. with LTT videos.<3

hmm. I'll have to do some reading on hardware acceleration. Didn't know chrome could use the gpu. I've actually never done this but If I uninstall the audio driver will it be available to download again right there in device manager?

I wish it were that simple but It happens with one chrome tab watching youtube and I have an fx 8350 with an h100i on the sucker lol

Title pretty well sums it up. When the issue occurs it lasts about 5 minutes where every 5 seconds it sounds like a robotic glitch.This happens every hour or every couple hours and I have primarily experienced it in Chrome and Spotify I have an old cheap logitech 5.1 plugged into the 3.5mm on the back of the motherboard (Sabertooth 990fx R2.0). Same issue occurs with headphones in that jack as well as with my wireless corsair void pros. Different programs, Different methods of interface. Figure THAT one out lol Edit- The only common Item in the audio chain is the audio components on the motherboard itself. Should I buy an audio card? eeek.

That's why I consult the experts when it comes to lubricant my guy

Wow I had no Idea lol Thanks I'll see if I can get it swapped out!

I suppose a computer repair shop might do it. Didn't even think about that lol

Good morning everyone, I'm having an issue with my Corsair HX850 semi modular power supply. Whenever the fan turns on it sounds like my computer is "shoosh"ing me. It's like nails on a chalkboard unless I have headphones on. I got the thing in 2014 and is out of warranty. I'd love to just squirt some WD-40 in the fan bearing but from what I understand taking apart PSUs can be very dangerous. I'm about to just flip the psu so the fan grill is facing inside the case and lay a 140mm fan over it. It might keep the psu fan from spinning ever, and would be quieter. Thoughts? I have the corsair individually sleeved cable kit too so it's extra lame if I have to replace it. Edit- Turns out these babies have a 7 year warranty. In the rma process now. Also they suggested pushing down on the fan hub through the grill to snap it back into place. It didn't work for me, but that is an option.

I've had a h100i on my FX8350 since early 2014 and it is still going strong. The other day I had an overheat shutdown but as soon as I moved my PC to a location with better airflow and re applied thermal compound it is fine. Idle temps around 35-40c and load from 50-60c. These are a bit higher than when I first installed it though.

Oh ok. I seem to remember that H100i getting it a lot closer to ambient at Idle, but glad to have some assurance.

I recently went on vacation for Christmas, came back and fired up the gaming PC. After about an hour of gaming it shut down from CPU temp limit as reported by the BIOS. I replaced the thermal compound on the H100i and cleaned out the fans/ radiator fins and got back to gaming. Now it maxes out at 60c while gaming and hovers around 40c at idle. This doesn't seem right. Any ideas as to what is going on in there? Corsair Link reports a constant pump speed of 2234. Fans are controlled by seperate controller.

OH MY GOD THAT WAS IT! THANK YOU!!!!!! I was certain my poor retinas were destined to endure the blazing white light of youtube's background forever lol

You're right. They are actually reflecting the frustration of my existential angst but that is another topic.

lol sigh. the electronics hate me right now.

Hey so I just re installed windows (again) because updates killed my pc somehow. Now for some reason I have basically no menu options on Youtube such as the Dark theme. Anybody else not see that option anymore or is it just me?
