Also I’d like to mention I have a buyer lined up for my 10700k + mobo. So the cost to upgrade would be around the £400-£500 mark (depending if I go with ddr5 or stick with ddr4).

Excellent thanks for the effort! It’s more so extracting all of the performance out of my 4070ti. As the performance to price isn’t great to begin with!

I have a 4070ti. Cpu usage seems to go up to around 50%. Some games though I’m finding myself running ultra + bumping render scale up to get the gpu to 100% usage. Yeah I’m not set on Intel.. whatever is going to be best for gaming is what I’m after. What amd cpu would you recommend with a 4070ti? thanks.

Hi all, looking at upgrading my overclocked 10700k to a 13700k. Just wondering at what sort of gains I’m going to be looking at? I’ll be upgrading to ddr5 at the same time along with a z790 mobo. I play @1440p 180hz. TIA.

Jeez that’s interesting. Yeah main reason being was the fact that the cpu is overclocked. At least I won’t have to upgrade the psu then! Thanks.

Hi all, looking to put a 4070ti in my current rig. Just sold my 2080 super that was in there. I have a 750w Corsair hx750i psu and was wondering if that’s going to be sufficient for the 4070ti? Have a i7 10700k oc’d to 5.1. Also do you think there will be much of a bottleneck at 1440p? Or am I good?

Try reseating ram and gpu and reseat all power cables. I very much doubt you had the same problem as me. My issue was having a wireless phone charger under the pc, moved it and no more bsod's.

I think I've found out what my problem is. I gave my PC a quick clean last week and I had accidently left my wireless phone charger tucked in underneath directly below my hdd's. I've moved and tested it and it seems to have fixed the problem. Also prior to this I ran prime 95 for 2 hours and had no errors or bsod so that ruled out the OC being unstable, did an optional windows intel driver update (didn't fix it), Tried to do a system restore back to a week ago but the restore failed and reinstalled gpu drivers using ddu. Ill know for sure over the next couple of days if it has worked but looks to be promising so far and yes I do feel stupid;)

So I’ve reseated the ram and made sure all cables were pushed in properly etc and it is still happening. I thought it had fixed it initially, It started over 15 times fine when it was “warm” but after leaving it 20 minutes and then booting it up it will bsod on the second or third try. I’m thinking possibly the cpu OC has become unstable but I’ve ran HW info for 2 days now whilst gaming etc and there is no errors whatsoever. I’m going to try going back to a restore point from a week ago before this started and see if that works.

Yeah I think its ram too. I have XMP enabled so ill give it a try, thanks.

No ram isn't overclocked over xmp. Yeah ill give that a try, thanks. I think its most likely a ram problem, the ram and psu came from my old PC which is a couple years older than everything else.

Hi all, My gaming pc has just randomly started to BSOD on start up. It first started around 4/5 days ago. I didn't think much of it at the time. It happened again today on start up so I've decided to look into it further. I tried to get it to happen again by shutting down and starting up which I tried over 10 times and it would not BSOD. So I thought I would try shutting down, then powering off and on at the mains, then turning it on. This triggered the BSOD although after testing this further it can take 3/4 cold boots for it to happen. I built the PC back in may and it has ran flawless ever since. I must note the CPU is overclocked to 5.1ghz all core which could be the possible cause however if it was the problem why would it only happen on cold start-up and not crash when underload in games etc? I treated myself to a new steel series arctis 7 headset for Christmas which is the only change in peripherals/hardware I've done in recently. I set the headset up on the day before the first BSOD. Some of the codes I've been getting (seem completely random): ATTEMPED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY. REGISTRY_FILTER_DRIVER_EXCEPTION. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. (this one has came up the most) SYTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. Also had this message come up when shutting down: Corsair.Service.DisplayAdapter.exe - Application Error. I'm going to run HW info for a bit while playing some games to see if it throws up any errors regarding the CPU overclock. Any advice/suggestions are much appreciated.

Okay thanks. Sorry about that I've just edited it to default.

Ah okay thanks. Its my first nvme drive so just wanted to check.

Hi, I recently installed my 970 Evo plus 1TB and noticed that the temperature is reading "too high" in Samsung magician software. The max that it has hit is 57C although it seems to sit between 52-55C whilst gaming. Air flow is pretty good with 3 front intake fans, 1 rear and 3 top exhaust fans. I'm using the motherboards heatsink and thermal pads. GPU is close to the m.2 although it doesn't go over 65C. Are these temps normal for this drive even though Samsung's software is reporting it as too high? HW info is showing "drive Temperature 57C"(Max) "drive Temperature 2 69C"(Max). "drive Temperature 54C"(Average) "drive Temperature 2 57C"(Average). Any advice/suggestions are much appreciated.

I managed to find a fix for this issue. After a bit of searching it seems to be a common problem with z490 boards with Intel LAN. I updated the I225-v driver to 1.0.1.7 and it has fixed the problem for me. Hope this helps someone.

Have tried that and it hasn't worked unfortunately. I also reset the network again and tried a new Ethernet cable. still not working?

Thanks, I will give that a try!

Hi, I recently built a new high end PC and I'm having an issue when I restart, where I have no Ethernet connection. However when I shut down and turn it back on it works fine? I have also tested the WiFi connection and that seems to work fine after a restart. So it's just Ethernet that's having issues. I'm wondering If its the cable itself causing problems? I would much appreciate any suggestions before routing a new 20m lan cable. I have tried resetting network settings and un-checking the save power options in device manager for my Ethernet (no luck). Any advice/help is much appreciated.

I have just built inside the Nzxt 710i Would Highly recommend! Lots of room, easy cable management and decent temps.

Yeah I noticed when I had the battle.net launcher open it was using 20/30% gpu unless minimised. I think this could have been running in the background whilst playing causing the stuttering. Once I reinstalled I went to settings and it had changed to "when I launch game exit battle.net completely". Whereas before it was set to "when I launch a game keep the battle.net window open"

I've Fixed this now by reinstalling cod, thanks for the help dude:)

Yeah I do play at max settings at 1440p though. Even with my old i5 8400 I was gpu bound on cod used to be at around 90%. I think it was something to do with the shaders not installing properly as it paused and wouldn't continue installing which seems to be a common problem and one of the ways to fix it to reinstall the game. Well that's what I'm hoping anyway. Gamernexus made a video regarding z490 motherboards and that the manufacturers are auto overclocking to account for lower quality cpus.

Yeah the trouble is that the cpu is hardly being pushed in the above games. Whereas with cod its using much more cpu and 100% gpu. That's why I'm finding it hard to fix it. There is one other post on reddit where someone is having the same issue but in all games which makes me think it's just Cod that is playing up. So I'm reinstalling, its pretty annoying as its 200gb. Also I'm not sure if it's to do with the z490 board auto overclocking the cpu on stock settings.
