Hello all! So when I woke up this morning I sat down to a completely frozen PC. No error message or blue screen. Just normal windows desktop but not accepting any mouse or keyboard input. Tried restarting the system by holding the power button for 10s but nothing happened. So instead I restarted the power on the UPS ( which is still working). The PC did shut down but now it will not start. No fan spinning no beeps no LED lights on mobo nothing happens when I hit that power button. I'm using the Asus Z390-F mobo and interestingly the RGB bling at the top left still lights up when power is connected to MOBO as do any peripherals like the keyboard. Still tested another PSU just in case and same issue. Tried resetting CMOS both with the pins and by removing and reinserting the battery. Have tried booting with no peripherals no boot devices and only one stick of ram and nothing. Also removed GPU and connected monitor through iGPU with no change. System is Intel i9-9900k Asus Z390-F 16GB Geil RAM PNY XLR8 2080Ti 1TB HP EX920 nvme (boot drive) 2TB Seagate Firecuda HDD Windows 10 Home 64 bit Cooler Master H 500 case Cooler Master 240mm radiator So how do I tell between the CPU and MOBO which has died?

For the record I've fixed the problem. Had to turn off Game DVR in Windows settings, Shadowplay in GeForce Experience, and disabled hardware acceleration in Google Chrome and I'm now able to get 1080p 60fps with no stutters at high settings on AC: Odyssey!

Used DDU to uninstall drivers and then did a clean install from the Nvidia website of the most recent 419.67 driver. Restarted after it was loaded and tried again. Still getting 99% utilization of GPU and frame rate dips in OBS to 14-25FPS instead of the target 30FPS.

Alright so! In the task manager where it breaks up GPU usage I watched that while attempting to stream at Very High. Video Encode was only at around 8% the entire time, Copy was 2%, and 3D was at 98-99% the entire time. Frame rate kept dropping from 30FPS to 6-8 FPS on the stream, but not in my game. Tried again this time using x264 instead of NVENC so the CPU would handle the encoding. CPU handled it fine, highest was around 62%, but the 3D part of the GPU was still 98-99% the entire time, same low frame rates. I don't really understand what could be the issue with it. When I run the in-game benchmark at Ultra I easily get 50-60 FPS on 4k. I get the same while playing. It's only in the stream that it seems to have an issue. Tried Task Manager again just playing the game without streaming. Utilization of the GPU/3D was 99% the entire time, but it easily stayed within 50-60FPS on very high.

Build is: i9-9900k PNY 2080Ti XLR8 16GB RAM Z390-F ASUS MOBO 1TB Nvme SSD So I've been having issues with getting the card to stream. I can run games at 4k ultra easily with no issue, but the second I go to stream the stream output ends up choppy as hell. I've already tried changing various settings in OBS including switching from NVENC to x264 (made it worse somehow?), adjusting down to 720p 30fps, adjusting the bitrate to various recommended amounts, etc. I have managed to get a fairly smooth stream at 1080p 30fps if I set the graphics all the way down to Medium on Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. If downgrading graphics in order to stream is the way I have to go I'll accept it, but I can't help but feel that's pretty underwhelming for a $1400 card? I have checked my upload speeds and they are reasonably fine (25-30mbps). I'm fairly sure the choppiness is coming from my system because I can see it in the OBS preview without even having to watch the recording on Twitch afterwards. I have noticed in monitoring thru task manager that when streaming the GPU usage frequently spikes to 100% when running anything higher than medium while streaming. Is this normal? I tried benchmarking with 3dMark Timespy and got a score of 9588.

Thanks. Yeah, I've honestly gone back and forth on switching to the 2700x. Mostly because the savings would let me upgrade the case to the be quiet 900 rev 2 version. I don't need nearly that much space, but I like that it has a wireless charger built into it. If it wasn't for the Paradox strategy games and the occasional video editing I probably would, but I think both of those gonna benefit a lot from the higher clock speeds.

1. Budget & Location $2000-2500USD, Kentucky, United States 2. Aim Would like a dual 4k monitor setup that I can use for gaming. I'll also be using it for work, as well as watching Netflix. I'll also be doing some minor video editing work (4k video of 30m or less. Not sure on software yet, could use suggestions! Looking for software that works well with vertical video formats.) I don't play anything competitively so super high frame-rates are honestly not that big a deal to me. Much rather just play an RPG or FFXIV on Ultra and drool over the image quality. Also hoping to keep this fairly future-proofed, so while I know 4k still really required or necessary, I'd still like to be running this 5-6 years from now. On a side note, I play a lot of Paradox games like Hearts of Iron 4, which experience a lot of CPU lag in late game. This is why I went with the higher clock 9700k. My other reason for using the 9700k was the extra cores for streaming occasionally. My final aim is to keep this as quiet as possible (while maintaining decent temps). 3. Monitors They're attached in the list. 4. Peripherals Covered already. 5. Why are you upgrading? My last build was an $800 rig I built in late 2012 that is seriously showing its age by now.
