Alright so just use 3 cables even though all 3 are daisy link? Does anyone have a suggestion for a good PSU that can handle the power spikes of a GPU? Could it be temperatures since I have to wait 5 or so minutes before I can restart and it boots properly?

Sorry, my bad, sir.

I am not really sure if it is my GPU or my CPU. What happens is, after an hour or two of playing a video game like Apex Legends, Call of Duty, Valorant, my screen shuts off and then my CPU fan and GPU fan start going really loud. I can hear the game and I can still talk to my friends on discord, but the image won't show up. If I try to restart my computer, the windows logo as it boots becomes a strip of blue lines and then the computer crashes again. I have to wait like, 5 minutes or so before the restart will actually boot an image properly. I will attach an image. Is this the GPU or CPU? Is it because of temperatures? The GPU I have is the RTX 3080 Aorus Master, CPU is the Ryzen 9 5900x. I did not overclock anything. The cooler I have for the CPU is the Noctua NH D15. Now, a lot of people told me that my power supply was the reason I was crashing. So I got a 1000w Asus Rog Strix PSU. Yet, I still crashed. Anyone have recommendations for a PSU that doesn't crash their GPU? If this is actually a GPU related problem. At this point, I am not really sure what part is causing this. This Asus Rog Strix PSU also only has daisy link cables. I heard that daisy link can cause crashing for the 30 series. So, can I use 3, daisy link cables and only plug in each one once? Or do the cables have to specifically have 1, 8 pin header? Image of crash: https://gyazo.com/e8418b375fc0b4bfc10064582b9906b3

I tried updating my ethernet adapter by going to 1.0.0.14. On the Asus website, it says I have to run firmware update 1.45. I just installed it but I am getting horrible connection speeds now so I would like to roll it back. Not really sure how to do that. Here is the link where it gives me the firmware update directions: https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z490-e-gaming-model/helpdesk_download

Is that number the first revision or the second? I see a 1 and a 2 so I am not sure which one that is

So I looked up online that rev 1 and 2 had ethernet controller hardware issues. These issues were fixed in rev 3. How do I tell what rev my Asus Rog Strix z490e Gaming is? I saw you can see it printed on the board itself but I checked all 4 corners and I cannot see it.

@PorkishPig That's the thing. When I click "Remove driver software from this device" when I uninstall my wifi drivers, it installs just fine after restart. So, does me downloading the drivers from the website cause any issues? Also, when I download the drivers from the manufacturer website, it gives me a Intel I255 V driver and a Intel I255 End User FW. Do I install both?

I have an Asus Rog Strix z490e. I had issues with the ethernet driver being duplicated from the previous motherboard so I uninstalled the ethernet driver through device manager so I could restart my computer to have it installed fresh. That being said, after I restarted it, the driver did not redownload. So, I had to redownload the ethernet driver through Intel's website. Since the ethernet driver did not reinstall, does this mean the motherboard was defective? Because ever since I have been using ethernet with the redownloaded driver, my ping has been very unstable in the games I play.

Most of the games I play are CPU intensive but whenever I open any game the noise starts occurring at a louder rate. Happens slightly when in idle

On my old build, I had a i7 7700k with a Corsair AIO pump, GTX 1060 6 GB, and a 750 Watt Corsair PSU. I just got a 10th gen i7 with a new motherboard. The GPU and PSU stayed the same. Ever since I replaced the parts, I am getting this whirling sound. It is so annoying. I can't tell where it is coming from either. I hear it from the GPU and I hear it from the PSU. I never had this issue before replacing parts. Now, my AIO pump is 4 years old and I hear air bubbles inside it, could this be causing the whirling sound since pumps don't like pumping air? The closest thing I found on Youtube that represented this sound was Coil Whining. However, I see that Coil Whining usually occurs straight out of the box and my GPU and PSU have been with me for 4 years now and I never heard this. So could this Coil Whining be coming from my AIO pump? Just trying to figure out what to replace.

I am trying to use ethernet but I am on the floor right above the router and my mother does not want a cord drilled into the wall/up against the wall. So I found these online: https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/tp-link-av1000-gigabit-powerline-starter-kit-bridge-wall-pluggable/apd/a9823883/networking?gacd=9646510-1025-5761040-0-0&dgc=st&gclid=CjwKCAjwp-X0BRAFEiwAheRuiwz-FBdGJbQcCKSYJhLt3cGrcT6n_Z_LM66H9PJfe4kIw4BEgobxAhoCefYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds They are these things that you plug into the outlet and then use ethernet cables. Will these cause issues like lag spikes and high latency? Also, what is a good size cable that won't diminish the signal cause people told me that too much of a length will drop the signal.

This happened ever since the windows update on 4/13/20. I can't seem to reverse this update either.

How do I fix this then? This has never happened before. Do I need to buy a GPU cooler? @muito_gostoso

Recently, my computer does this thing where every hour or so, I hear a buzzing and then every program I have freezes. After 3 seconds of being frozen, my screen turns off for a second then quickly turns on. When it turns on, there is a 2 second period of my screen just glitching out with green and blue pixels before it refreshes and everything begins working again. This has never started happening until today. I checked my CPU temps are they are at 35 degrees Celsius at idle which seems normal. I even updated my graphics drivers. I can't figure it out.

My motherboard is the Asus Rog Strix z270e. It has built in wifi. The built in wifi is stable but the ping is always high. I tried using over 8 different PCIe wifi cards and all of them give me faster ping in games(decreases the ping by 20-30) but I get a big lag spike every 5-10 minutes. I also make sure to disable and delete the built in wifi card every time I try to use a PCIe wifi card. On CMD, if you type the command "netsh wlan show interface", the PCIe wifi cards ALWAYS show 90 percent or lower and the transmit rate and receive rate are never at max. This command shows 100 percent signal strength when I use the built in wifi card. So the question is, why does my built in wifi card, which is weaker, seem more stable than a more powerful, updated PCIe wifi card? Do motherboards with built in wifi just only work with the built in card?
