    I upgraded my parts yesterday to an 8700k, Asus Code X Mobo, 16 gb of 3000 mhz DDR4 Corsair Dominator Ram, 1080 ti ftw3 and an EVGA 850 Watt G3 PSU. Yesterday after I built my PC. I tested the PC without my GPU and I got an error code 00 on the board. I then put the GPU in and the same code came up. The fans didn't spin or anything. I have one of those old speakers in my PC that beeps for post codes. Anyway, that didn't beep either. I then hooked up my PC to my monitor. It didn't post, fans didn't spin, the USB ports didn't work, nothing. My MOBO lights were on but nothing would happen. The PC would start up and my GPU fans would spin a second but then stop. The 1080 Ti I have spins only under load though. Q-Code 00 means the CPU is not in use. This is what I tried: Connect all the cables in again. Tried all slots with the RAM Dimms. Tried to boot on onboard audio. Cleared CMOS. Reset BIOS. Amazon is sending me new board for free tomorrow but I need to send the old board back. Before I get the new board. Is there anything else I can try? Is it the board?

    Oh. im talking about the cleaner. I used noctua paste.
  3. Chewie555
    I put arctic all over the pcb to clean off thermal paste. I never knew that. I thought it was like 99% alcohol.
  4. Chewie555
    It's destroyed. I bought a FTW3 1080 ti. I need to find out why this is happening before I put that in my system.

    My parts are the following: 4790k 32gb of Corsair vengeance ram Corsair RM 650x PSU Win10 Pro 64 bit NZXT Kraken x52 cooler Asus Hero Vii z97 Mobo A month ago I had my 1070 FTW and one morning I turned my PC on and it sparked up and my 1070 fried. I had these cable extensions and I took them off. I RMAd my gpu and then I ended up using my 970 in the mean time. After I got my 1070 back from EVGA I took the cooler off it and broke the wires on it. I then ordered a NZXT G12 and a Kraken X62 to put on my gpu. I worked on it yesterday and I used some arctic cleaner and it got on the PCB. I thought it was dry. It wasn't. I started my PC up and it sparked instantly. My friend's and I came to the conclusion that it overloaded and blew. The cleaner didn't help either. My friend said to be careful about conductive material on my motherboard so I plan to buy some electrical spray to clean my motherboard off. I put my 970 in my system and it booted fine. I also bought a EVGA G3 850 watt PSU because we also think it's the PSU too. https://imgur.com/a/3HOws

    (This is user error). A month ago I pressed my power button on my PC and my 1070 FTW sparked and my GPU fried. My friend thought it died because I had some custom cable extensions connected to my 1070. I took them out and then used my psu cables to connect my 970 to use during EVGA's RMA. Everything was fine with the GTX 970. When I got my new 1070 back last week and I accidentally broke the cooler fan header so I ordered a Kraken X62/G12 to water cool my GPU. I spent a while fixing my computer yesterday and right when I was done. I pushed the power button. I was in front of the case all excited to have cool temps with the aio. Boom. It sparked up again and killed my 2nd 1070. I'm sad and mad. Is this a PSU issue? Overvoltage or something? My pcie slot? The 970 worked fine but then I couldn't OC it so much later on and it was throttling.

    The thing is I was able to run higher overclocks last week and then this problem started.
  9. Chewie555
    I'll need to run a Firestrike test and send some and show you what it does. I am hitting my power limit. I think that's the reason.
  10. Chewie555
    How can I stop my MSI GTX 970 from throttling? It doesn't even get hot. The max temperature it'll get is 56 c on air. I have it overclocked and last week it was at the same settings and nothing happened. Even in hotter situations.
  11. Chewie555
    The other day they went up from the high 40s up to 58 c. Then right now it went up to 56 c. Strange. Anyway, I have my OC back to 4.9 at 1.44v and it's safe. Don't worry. The max OC on my CPU is 1.5v and people I know have gone higher than 1.5v and left it like that for years. I am trying to increase my mem clock to see if that will help fps.
  12. Chewie555
    What do you think I should downclock it to? I had it at 4.8 ghz at 1.35 and it didnt really do anything. I'll try 4.7 at 1.290.

    Last week my firestrike graphics scores were 1000+ points higher than they have been this week. The temperatures were even warmer last week. It's just the graphics scores that are lower. I posted about this earlier in the week and I want to see if more people can help me. Specs: 4790k clocked at 4.9 ghz at 1.43v 16gb of Corsair vengeance ram clocked at 2133 mhz at 1.65v MSI GTX 970 and it's OCed at: Memory: 4,096 MB Core clock: 1,554 MHz Memory bus clock : 2,048 MHz RM 650x PSU Win10 Pro 64 bit NZXT Kraken x52 cooler I tried the following: Closed a lot of programs. Set my Windows and Nvidia settings to performance. Uninstalled drivers with DDU in Safe mode and I plan to do that again right now. Downclocked my GPU and was watching to see if my scores would change to see if my GPU was more stable. Nothing worked so far. I took out 16 gbs of ram to use less usage on my memory bus. I currently have my ram clocked at 2133mhz(16 gb.) I'd like some help and to see if I can find some other variables that might be making this happen. Thank you guys.

    So I just did a firestrike run to warm up my PC. I don't go straight into my max overclock anymore. I had the core clock on 240+ and my mem at 555+. I might try to turn down my voltage to see what happens to mess around with it. Edit: to answer Daniel's question. My temps were at 56 c on load. I'm throwing my GPU on an aio tomorrow. GTX 970/Kraken x52.
