    been on a mos def kick lately. top 3 hip hop artist of all time imo

    For both CPU and GPU I will get the highest stable OC I can get with minimal or no voltage increase, and then leave it there. Back when I had my R9 290x I got lucky, I managed a 1080mhz core overclock (1000 stock) and a 1400mhz memory overclock with zero voltage increase and only a 15% boost to power limit. It stayed stable without thermal throttling for about 6 years until I retired it for my 5700. It now lounges at stock clock speeds in my HTPC in the living room.

    Been on a slowed down Michael Jackson kick lately. It's actually insanely good.

    I've had great experiences with Steelseries mice and I love my Sensei 310. I had a deathadder for almost 7 years and loved it. Myonix has some decent mice aswell that I've enjoyed using.

    That old APU is 2 cores in 1 module. Notice it says 2 logical processors below 1 cores.

    If you think it could be a heating issue try underclocking/undervolting a bit and see what happens. Is the card factory overclocked? could just be a silicon lottery dud. At higher clocks you need lower temps, generally speaking

    I'd isolate the video card in a different system if possible to see if the problem persists on that machine. Run a memtest for good measure but I don't think it's a RAM issue. If you have an old GPU you can try using it just to see if a different card fixes it. It seems like your drivers are crashing or there's just an issue with the card.

    Are you monitoring temperatures/clocks? Are the games crashing with an error or just straight to desktop? Have you tried reverting drivers to 19.12.2? The 19.12.3 drivers you installed are "optional" (basically beta drivers) and might be more unstable.

    This can't be said enough times. I really hope they don't pull this stupid of a move.

    I think it'd be safer to say that buying peripherals is a bit of a lottery when it comes to quality control.

    I don't think your anecdote is sufficient proof that they make bad products. Plenty of people have had Razer mice for years with zero issues, myself included.

    NP! I've built multiple systems for friends/family using Phanteks cases and liked them so much I got one for myself. I hardly ever recommend anything else now

    Y u no release 5900XT? You've already sent Intel reeling, where is second blow in your one-two punch? We haven't seen confirmed pricing but competing with a 1660ti/super won't mean a bunch if the pricing sucks as much as the 5500xt.

    I'm a firm believer in Phanteks cases, I don't know if any of the P400 series will support your 360 rad but I do think this guy (or the black interior version) will support a 360 up top. Tons of room on the bottom, lots of room and cable management, sexy glass panel. Downsides are probably the side mounted USB and a lack of sideways PCI slot brackets. That'd be my pick. I'm sure others will have different suggestions

    You set on tempered glass? Or does the window type not matter to you?
  23. Polyvalent
    Wasn't there an issue with the cooler on this card having poor contact with the chip/vrms? Even if there wasn't, I wouldn't buy this over a 5700xt which in the USA is around 400-450.

    So deforestation is just a non-issue? Is that why we are frantically funding the planting of millions of trees? You realize our fearless leader has taken away thousands of acres of national forest? You realize it takes decades to grow back forest?

    I dont think anything is wrong, those are actually pretty decent framerates for a gtx 745. That i7 is getting up in years too but it's definitely not the bottleneck as of right now. Basically, that GPU is an older card that was even at the time barely entry level for gaming.
