  1. It hasn't crashed today. A dev recommended remaining logged out for 61 minutes. I don't know why this would help, but I hadn't logged in since last night. I haven't done much on it today, but it hasn't happened yet so fingers crossed.
  2. This is a big ask. I'd like to find the actual issue. Like I said this only happens in New World, everything else is fine and it has only happened once before yesterday, and it hasn't happened today yet in the 4+ hours I've been logged in.
  3. Hey guys, I'm coming here for help diagnosing an issue I have had in the past and yesterday. While playing New World, and only New World, my computer has abruptly shutdown. It immediately goes to a black screen and then restarts. This happened previously last month for one day only. I had thought the problem was caused by Malwarebytes at the time because it was the same day I downloaded it. I uninstalled it and it didn't happen again until yesterday. I hadn't changed anything yesterday on my PC so I'm not entirely sure where the issue has arisen. It has not happened today. Event Viewer doesn't give much insight as to what happened. There are no events near the time of the crash. I turned off automatic restart on system failure and it still goes straight into a system restart when this occurs. In response to this I: Updated my BIOS Updated my GPU Driver Made sure Windows was up to date Verified game files through Steam And it happened again last night. I thought maybe it could be a GPU power draw issue, spiking too high maybe causing the card to shut off. It is New World after all, and this was an issue. So I tried 95%, 90%, and 85% power limits and it happened. I tried 100% and it still happened. Nothing is overclocked. Temps are usually in the 50-60c range. So I went to their forums. Another user reported this was also happening to him. He has an RX580 he said. It started to happen to him this morning. My Specs: RTX 3070 9700K Z390 Aorus Elite Seasonic Focus 550W PSU
  4. Thanks everyone. I'll assume for the most part they're not really existent. I figured this kind of tech would be something that doesn't server much of a function anymore now that most everything is already wireless. Guess I'll just have to start a petition for a wireless Scimitar Pro.
  5. Mmm, I'm having no such luck finding one. Any idea what the proper terminology for it would be? My searches usually end up bringing me wired hubs and wireless internet USB.
  6. I'm struggling to find this, and I am beginning to wonder if it is because it doesn't exist. I was hoping to find a wireless USB hub. My goal is to build a lap-deck similar to the Corsair Lapdog, but I would like to be able to plug in my Scimitar pro to it which only comes as a wired option. Anyone know of anything that might help with this?
  7. I am not very familiar with wiring, nor is the person who I'm trying to solve this for. Was hoping there would be a plug n play option available.
  8. LED sign has a controller that does flashing, on/off but is battery powered. Has the below connector for the LEDs, believe it is called a JST SM 2 pin. Looking for a controller that is wall powered instead of battery powered but struggling to find one. Anyone got something on hand they could link to that doesn't require soldering and is just plug and play?
  9. She's going to test it again and see. Hopefully she can find the reasoning for the dropped frames. I wasn't aware it would tell you why they were being dropped, that's a neat feature.
  10. Someone new to streaming I'm watching was dropping frames last night to the point where it was massively impacting the stream. The webcam and audio weren't lagging, just the game. Long story short she stopped and we went over some of the possible issues. Her setup is a GTX 1070 and Ryzen 1700. She's streaming in 720p with her resolution at 1080p and 144hz. The game was Resident Evil 7. I'm not very familiar with streaming settings and all that, but my general consensus was that playing at 144hz and encoding on the GTX 1070 was too much for it to handle and that switching to CPU based X264 might resolve the issue. Also gave her a link to the Twitch bitrate guide. If anyone else has any other ideas would gladly pass them on.
  11. I recently built an AMD 3400G build in an Inwin Chopin. I was very excited about the idea of having such a small PC for my bedroom to just surf the web on and light gaming. I became very disappointed though when I fired it up and shortly after heard the PSU fan. It is RIDICULOUSLY loud. Was wondering if anyone else had experience with this. I'm considering using a PICO PSU and power brick instead so I can get the silence I want out of it. Not sure where to get a good PICO from though, or even find a good one. Just want something in the 150w-200w range. Would also consider a different PSU that was silent if it would fit in the case, but it seems like a proprietary PSU size, not sure.
  12. I don't have the numbers before this, but this was like one minute into Prime95. On the NH-D15S it doesn't go above 55c during the test. It would regularly hit temps in the low to mid 70s playing Apex Legends at 144hz 1440p. Now It barely comes close to 50c. I want to say it was a clog because pump speed was playing a MAJOR factor in its performance. This was on 3100 RPM extreme setting. Turning it to quiet setting would cause temps to rise by over 10c which shouldn't happen in a loop. I feel like the extra pressure from the pump speed was needed to bypass coolant through the blockage at a normal speed. I should note I also reseated the cooler multiple times with new thermal paste to determine that wasn't part of the issue.
  13. I'll second the notion that your case is the culprit. No side ventilation nor front ventilation. There are extremely cheap cases out there that will fix your issue with no or little work involved.
  14. I've had the H115i which is a 280mm radiator and it performed well when it worked. Unfortunately after about 1.5 years of use it developed a clog I think. My 9700k was hitting 100c during Prime95 tests without an overclock. This has been a major turn off from AIOs for me. I would recommend the Noctua NH-D15. The worst case scenario is a fan stops working. You'll be able to diagnose that pretty fast and it has remarkable cooling capability.
  15. I should just say that it was indeed the Corsair AIO causing the issue. The NH-D15S is installed and doing a bangup job. Prime95 ran with no thermal issues on the undervolt, staying in the 40s and low 50s. If I've learned anything it is that I can't rely on a pump to not clog/go out. I think I'll be sticking with air cooling unless I ever decide to go full CLC.
  16. Picked up an NH D15S and will see if it fixes it. If not I'll just return it to Microcenter.
  17. Wondering if it could be caused from the pump being clogged. I don't have another cooler to test with though so this is kinda ehhh. Don't wanna' buy another CPU cooler just to end back up where I started and be down $90.
  18. I should note when playing games at 144hz 2k res I typically see temps like 70-75 in Apex Legends and Wolcen. In WoW I'm in the 60s.
  19. I just got a 9700k this weekend and went to try a stress test today. I wanted to undervolt so I turned off multicore enhancement, set vcore to 1.19, lowered avx by 2, disable adaptive voltage, and set llc to low. Mobo is a Gigabyte Z390 elite. My cooler is an h115i. I ran prime95 and within a minute hit 100c and started thermal throttling. I've recently reseated the cooler because I had a 9600k and it performed rather horribly as well. I dont feel this should be happening. Wondering what the issue could be. I hear the pump spinning, but it sounds like there may be bubbles. It is set to extreme which is around 3000rpm pump speed. Coolant temp in ice was showing around 40-43c at max.
  20. I've remounted this thing countless times now and applied new TP lots, it's not that.
  21. Recently upgraded my monitor to a 144hz 1440p display and ever since then my CPU has had to do a lot of extra work. I have a 9600k with a Corsair H115i. With auto settings on the mobo I was seeing spikes into 80c at the start of games like Apex Legends, hell it hit 82c during the game launch. This is with the pump speed set to max (actually has a significant impact on temps) and a rather generous fan curve using Noctua fans (static pressure ones I don't remember which). I don't really think that is very reasonable to me. I have a Corsair Air540 case with every fan slot populated including an extra one under the GPU as an exhaust (it's an aio GPU as well so that's not putting out hot air into the case). When I set a V-core to 1.27 and LLC to low my temps drop significantly, at only 65c. Is Gigabyte's stock settings on their Z390 board just overly ambitious, or is my cooling solution just meh? I feel like my chip runs very hot, seeing as it also overclocks like garbage so I know I have a complete lemon, but damn...
  22. I know it's not a good idea financially, but given you had two cards does it even work?
