I've been running my PC fine for just under a year now with no issues. In the last week it has started restarting (not BSOD, just power cycling) under load. I tried removing my overclock on the CPU and I tried swapping out the GPU but still am running into the same issues. I'm assuming this is a PSU issue. I have run Aida64 to stress memory and CPU and Furmark for the GPU and do not run into the same issue. I can only replicate the issue by stressing both my GPU and CPU at the same time, then my PC power cycles almost instantly. Although I think I have the issue figured out, I was wondering if anyone can think of anything that I might have missed or offer any other advice. Unfortunately I do not have a spare PSU so will have to go through an RMA before I can know for sure. My PSU is the Fractal Design Newton R3 800W 80+ Platinum Thanks!

So I've been using the Beyerdynamic DT990 250ohm editions for almost 4 years now and loved them. After probably thousands of hours of use, the right ear is starting to go. Think I probably got my money's worth... As a result, I'm back in the market for a new set of headphones. Hopefully you guys could recommend something? I enjoy open back headphones (as open as possible!), and a fairly flat frequency response. Budget isn't too much of an issue, nor is the impedance. Should I just get the same again, seems as I enjoyed them so much, or are there any good upgrades that come to mind? Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Still not working

First thing I did

I just disabled and re-enabled my wired connection to my PC. (It was cold, I shivered and misclicked). Since re-enabling, YouTube videos will no load or buffer. They just get stuck on the spinning ring and nothing happens. Other web pages load fine. This happens of firefox, chrome and edge. I can't find any help as all google tells me is I need faster internet... which I don't. Hopefully someone smarter than me can help! D: Edit: Also after about a minute it just goes to the error screen in the video.

I've been using Tunnelbear as my VPN to watch US Netflix from the UK and couldn't be happier with how it's worked. Because I'm impatient, I wanted to watch the new Agents of SHIELD series that's just come out to ABC and not wait the month or so it will take to get here. Obviously I cannot just do that as it detects I'm from the UK but Tunnelbear doesn't seem to solve that issue either. Anyone have any idea how to get around this or has experienced something similar in the past? Can't find anything on this already! Thanks!

This sounds like a smart idea. Maybe just don't account for any inefficiency in order to build in slight headroom?

I recently put together a build with a 5960x (yes I will use 8 cores as video editing is my main source of income!) and a reference 980Ti with an 800W Fractal Newton R3 80+ Platinum PSU (I got a REALLY good deal on it). I'm running my 5960x @4.5GHz 1.25V (pretty good chip, I know) with a slight 100MHz OC on the 980Ti. Adding a second 980Ti has crossed my mind but I'm aware that each of these chips can use up to 250W(ish). I know that's still technically under 800W with all three but I was just wondering how comfortable you guys would feel running a such a setup with that PSU. I know it doesn't affect much but FYI I run four 7,200rpm HDDs in RAID10, two 500GB SSDs in RAID0, 32GB of DDR4 2400MHz and some fans!!! Thanks

I did do this on the z77 board and it still didn't work. From looking things up it did seem as though the board did just not support it. I will do this for x99 though!

I have just moved from an MSI Z77 gd45 motherboard to an MSI X99 SLI Plus. About a year ago I bought a 3TB HDD for my system. Installing it only increased my boot times significantly and the drive did not show up in Windows or the BIOS. I updated the BIOS but nothing changed. I read that this size of drive wasn't really supported. My question is will larger (2TB+) HDDs be supported on X99 or should I just stick with 2TB and under? (I have also assumed that the drive wasn't DOA but it seemed like this was a common problem!)

I recently purchased a 5960x. I already have a Dark Rock Pro 3 lying around so I was planning on using that to cool it. Obviously I'm planning on overclocking but I keep reading that you really should have an AIO to do anything with that chip. Obviously the temps will be fine at stock but I was just wondering if people had any experience with air cooling on x99 (more specifically the 5960x) and what I could expect in terms of speeds and temperatures (of course every chip is different). Or if I'm overclocking do I really need an AIO?

Thanks, it seems as though this 3TB+ Infinity is only talking about booting from 3TB+ drives. All I want is a storage drive, will it make a difference in this case?

So I recently just purchased a Seagate Barracuda 3TB drive. After having installed it in my PC not only does my PC take WAY too long to load into windows, we're talking like a minute when it's usually a few seconds ad my boot drive is on and SSD and I definitely have the SSD first in the boot order in the BIOS. When I got to disk management in Windows the disk also fails to initialize 'due to an I/O error' and subsequently does not allow me to partition the drive. Is the drive faulty? Have I done anything very wrong? (I have installed HDD's before! ) Is it possible that my motherboard does not support drives greater than 2TB (I've heard this is a thing)? My motherboard is an MSI Z77A-G45 if that helps. Thanks in advance.

I would give the 750Ti to my girlfriend so we can actually play games together, I wouldn't actually keep it for myself

Thanks everyone, very helpful!
