  1. Have you tried restarting the PC? Your system might just need a quick reset,
  2. It's a cheap card, so it might be. Palit, just like any other brand, makes some really great products, and some not so great products. As long as the card works as expected, then it's a good card. Just don't expect it to be as cool and quiet as something like an MSI RTX 2060 Gaming X or an Asus Strix.
  3. It depends on the situation you're running them under. In some cases your 2600x will bottleneck the 2060. In other cases the 2060 will bottleneck the 2600x. It really shouldn't worry you that much.
  4. It's a legitimate RTX 2060, so it's good. Are you looking for a more application based answer?
  5. It's not a bad thing. It's just a measure of the power draw. Here's an excerpt from a GamersNexus Article on PBO: So elevated values on these are not bad for the CPU, it's just trying to give you extra performance by pushing the clocks, which it needs more power for.
  6. It's probably going to have to be a full tower for a 360 up top. You'll get better thermals with a front mounted rad anyway.
  7. The fx505dv is $1099 right now because it's on sale. Other reasons for reduced price are it's AMD, it's not small, and the body is made entirely of plastic.
  8. Top pic should be a 3-pin fan plug, any header on the mobo should work. Bottom pic is a DLED plug
  9. As far as I can tell, the PCB should be the same. Model number might be different because of a different VRAM manufacturer, or any other things. The GPU block should be the same for both models.
  10. This was the first result for 5700 XT Thicc II Waterblock: https://www.aquatuning.us/water-cooling/gpu-water-blocks/gpu-full-cover/fullsize/25912/alphacool-eisblock-aurora-plexi-gpx-a-radeon-rx-5700-xt-thicc-ii/iii Edit: currently out of stock, but they exist.
  11. Yeah, they better have some chonky points to go with it.
  12. A bit over your budget, but here's a build:
  13. Just asking for currency purposes. Lots of people from Canada, NZ, Australia, etc. I would suggest building it yourself. Certainly better bang for buck.
  14. The only (not recommended) idea that I can come up with is to fill the CPU block with water, cap it, and mount it on the CPU to keep it from frying itself while you do the first post. Disclaimer: I cannot recommend this course of action, it is just an idea.
  15. Turning off Precision Boost Overdrive will lower your temps, but you lose out on a lot of performance. As long as your temps are within an acceptable range, I would suggest turning it back on.
  16. This is probably a server side issue. Your internet will only download files at the rate the server feeds it. Example: I recently downloaded Unigine Superposition from the Unigine website. Normally my internet runs at 300 Mbps, but a 1.2 GB download took 30 minutes because of a server-side bottleneck.
  17. Also, don't forget to tag who you're responding to, or they might not see it. I think that's why @Senzelian isn't responding
  18. So nothing is showing up on your screen when you start the system while it's plugged into the video card?
  19. Are you seeing the gigabyte splash screen on startup?
  20. Definitely the 2070 Super combo, a 3600 is all you'll really need.
