  1. I know this thread is old, but I have an asus z370-e and I was wondering how many addressable led's one header could power. The motherboard manual says 60 but aura sync says 120. I would test but I haven't bought it yet
  2. Seems like there's a setting that allows the cpu to get as much voltage as it request(CPU VID). By setting a manual voltage I was able to limit it. Thank you both for your input and help
  3. Hey y'all, looking for a bit of help on this. Yesterday I got my 8700k, Asus z370-e, 16gb of ram, and EVGA 850G2 psu and set it up. Using CPU-Z and HWinfo, I saw that both the VCore on both programs were running in the range of 1.42 to 1.48V. I went back into bios and made sure multicore enhancement was off, and a default xmp profile and everything else set to auto. This didn't help with the voltages(I could see that the CPU was running at 4700Mhz and temps were below 34C with ambient air of 25C). Out of curiosity, I ran Cinebench to see where the voltages, and temps would go and the Vcore actually dropped to 1.31V, which is much more in line with what i expected. Does anybody have any clue as to why idle voltages are higher than in test?
  4. Solved it by flashing/updating the bios using my motherboards utility within windows( Asus AI suite 2)! Thanks for the help
  5. I removed everything listed and still no luck. I just get an error code saying "the current bios setting do not fully support the boot device" which only showed after clearing the cmos or removing all the drives. It also recommends I change the CSM parameters. On this screen I'm able to move the mouse and my keyboard responds but after clicking okay, and going into EZ mode, everything freezes again
  6. Hey y'all, I'm currently running a P8Z77-v LX mobo with 3570k and GTX970 with 600w psu, I've owned my rig for over 4 years and each winter I decide to overclock my CPU. Last year I was able to hit a stable 4.4ghz, but yesterday I went for a simple 4.2ghz. Then I restarted my computer, played games for a few hours then decided to increase to clock a bit more. This time, upon hitting EZ mode (it usually went straight to Advanced mode), everything freezes. The time doesn't update, fans don't change speed, and the mouse and keyboard don't respond. I figured it was because of the overclock and cleared my CMOS but that didn't change anything either. Any help would be appreciated!
  7. Depends on what games you play. If its something like LoL, or Dota, or CS:go or older games, go for the 960 2gb. If you want to play more recent demanding games go for the 970
  8. I'm not sure if you care or can wait but I remember the FX-8350 being $100 bucks back around December. Maybe it's just me but I notice hardware gets super cheap around the Holidays.

  10. I'd love to win it so I can get my roommate started on their own build for 3D modeling and image processing and editing. They're an architecture major
  11. I gotta go with the case. My case doesn't have a window and I would love to show off my internals
  12. I tried it in another system and the ssd wasn't detected in device manager or computer manager. I might just RMA it.
  13. @Alexdaman I bought all the parts in November, and no it isn't full. I have atleast 60 gigs left probably more. And I tried my best to minimize writes to it, but sometimes I would find steam files or save games on the drive if that does anything to the drive. @SMURG I have no experience with flashing or updating bios, so will flashing it cause problems for my motherboard in the future? Also, could the controller error happen in the OS? I was using the drive while it crashed.
