  1. Hi Remoo,, Is there a possibility of adding memory junction temperature on Nvidia GPU's as a temperature source?
  2. Great piece of software, have been using this for a few months now. I was wondering if there was a way to enable zero-fan on the GPU. It's an Nvidia 3080FE and with the fan software running, it will not return to 0% after the card cools down, it just sits at 30%... Maybe a software option that automatically switched off the the fan control once the temperature reached a certain low limit? This would enable the zero-fan on the card bios to shut fans off? If i stop the fan control of the gpu, the fans go to 0% Thanks
  3. Could you explain how it works or point me in the right direction? Sorry if I sound like a noob
  4. Awesome, that has put my mind at ease. Thanks!
  5. I thought the general consensus was that a 2080ti uses around 60% of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth. So, if a 3080ti was approx 50% higher bandwidth, it would be around 85%? If the NVMe dropped bandwidth, this would be damaging to the performance of the card?
  6. Hey people, need a bit of help here... I'm helping a friend build a high end gaming rig. I am trying to workout if an NVME PCIe will reduce bandwidth on a PCIE 3.0 for the GPU. This is especially important as the rig will be running a 3080ti on release which I am guessing will run close to the bandwidth of 3.0 already, watercooled & overclocked System specs; i9 10900k 32GB 3600 8Pack 3080ti (pending release - WILL be a bottleneck at 8X PCIe!) Asus Z490-E Cheers
  7. Hey Guys I've dragged my old system out and dusted it off and thanks to the advice on here, I've bought a nice new PSU for it and everything is working great! The system is; i5 2500K @ 4.6Ghz 16GB DDR3 1600mhz Radeon R9 290 @ 1100/1400 650w Seasonic Focus I'm tempted to upgrade the graphics card on this rig to maybe a 5700XT or GTX 1080, would this be overkill? Would it be worth upgrading the CPU to an i7 2600K or a 3770K (for the HT) or am I wasting money and I should just swap out the board & ram and grab maybe an AMD Ryzen CPU? It just seems a massive shame to throw it away if it's not going to be much of an upgrade... I am seeing CPU Usage up around 80% on GTA & 90% on Doom (2015) so I'm guessing my current CPU would be a let down, but are things such as the memory bandwidth / PCIe 2.0 going to hold me back on a 2600K/3770K? Would love to know your thoughts on this.. Cheers
  8. It's a Z68AP-D3 and I think you're right, only the CPU header is PWM, I don't think the 4pin system fan is? I do have a PWM fan on the cooler at the mmoment that I've set fan controls for in the bios so i'm really hoping it is PWM? Cheers
  9. Hi all, I'm looking at controlling some PWM case fans with an old Gigabyte Z68 motherboard. Is there a way of 'daisy' chaining off the CPU PWM header? Is this safe? I did see a splitter cable that runs feed from the PSU and the speed control from the PWM header... https://www.moddiy.com/products/PWN-1%2dTo%2d4-Fan-Splitter-Cable-(Sleeved)-.html I can't seem to find this in the UK though? I'm basically looking to make the system quiet until playing some games or editing rather than having case fans constantly humming away but want them to ramp up to take care of the OC on this older rig. If you have any suggestions then please fire away Thanks in advance, Gaz
  10. Yes its an L7. Are these poor PSU's? Cheers for the help, ill take a look
  11. I've had a look at the board and cleaned and checked everything. I can't see any obviously failing caps, it has a decent Gigabyte motherboard in it. I haven't tried another slot though, i'll give this a go...
  12. Hi guys With all this virus stuff going on, I've pulled out and dusted off the old rig after years of it being in storage. It's an old setup and I'm trying to push it as far as I can for 1080p gaming. I'm leaning towards a PSU issue whilst monitoring afterburner overlays, the GPU core clock is jumping around between 900 - 1070mhz, with a core clock speed set at 1100mhz - (core clock drops at the most intensive parts of the games, so frame rate drops are even worse!). The overclock seems more stable when the voltage is left at stock, but it still jumps around a bit too. Running a benchmark in Unigine Valley seems to give a locked 1100mhz core clock (except between loads sections) but also drops to 950mhz when I start over-volting it? I tried this with the overclock/over-volt on the CPU and without but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Sandybridge i5 2500k @4.4Ghz vCore 1.35v Radeon R9 290 Tri-x (1100/1400) Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1.5v Be Quiet! 530watt PSU When opening furmark 3d (a ridiculous stress test I know) it knocks the system off even without a GPU overclock, like I've just pulled the power cable out of the back and then starts rebooting after a couple of seconds, making me more suspicious of the PSU? I can get it to run but only by lowering the clock speeds on the GPU. No other test does this, but I never get a BSOD or error when I push the system on an overclock, it always seems to shut off like i've removed the power cable. Should I be looking at a 650w PSU?
