Intel Core i7-8700K Desktop Processor. AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor YD270XBGAFBOX. Intel Core i5-8400 Desktop Processor. are great pairs with the 1070. looking at your budget the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is the best choice: https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-7-2700x/p/N82E16819113499?Description=AMD Ryzen 7 2700X&cm_re=AMD_Ryzen 7 2700X-_-19-113-499-_-Product

Just wipe it off with a cotton swab and some alcohol. Depending on the paste it's probably electrically conductive, so it might make unintended contacts which could be catastrophic.

So what i do is get a gpu stress testing program. So first start bumping up all the parameters by 10: the memory clock speed, core clock speed, and core voltage. after you have done that run the stress test for about 2-5 min if you see everything is stable and you see no artifacts then repeat the process until you hit the max. for OC software i would use MSI After Burner (scroll to the bottom for download) and for the stress test i would use MSI Kombustor

Haha nice no problem

Install the update then boot in to safe mode then perform the steps

The update might of corrupted your MBR after updating go into safe mode then try these steps: Fix MBR with command prompt Input these commands once you enter Command Prompt, and then restart the machine when it completes. bootrec.exe /fixmbr bootrec.exe /fixboot bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd

Really i had no idea i thought you could just pop the scissor switch back into place.

It might be some glue that has become unstuck the easy solution is just to ask for a replacement.

How loud is it? If it is decently loud it could be something hitting or brushing the fan like maybe a cable.

then i would go with a pc

plus they dont log so i dont know what info they could of gotten.

I was not aware of this. Then i guess express is the way to go

it is so i would go with it 100%

860 is overkill go with a good 560W psu

I have not but 1.5x seems right

Nord VPN and Express VPN are widely considered the best.

Depends is it for gaming? or something else what are you going to use the computer for?

According to pc part picker you need a minimum of 199W. So 560W psu is more than enough. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g7Jwx6

It might be your PSU

I thought i would share my overclock for my EVGA GTX 1050: Core Voltage: +70% Power Limit: 100% Temp Limit: 83(C) Core Clock Boost: +180 Memory Clock Boost: + 200 Benchmarks: MSI Kombustor: Stock: 705 OC: 756 3D Mark: Stock: 26777 OC: 29036

It is most probably the psu. with only the parts you provided your system is using 220W with OC and fans ram case etc it is probably the psu. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/L7q4x6

" Debug Codes PSA (D3 - D4 - 03 - 04) Hi everybody! I am making this post with the hopes of helping out any of my fellow pc gamers/builders who might be looking for help in the future. Please upvote for visibility!!! I recently built my first rig with a Z390 Aorus Master motherboard, and ran into a quandary that caused me some concern. Any time I boot my pc from sleep, the motherboard's debug code would change from A0 (A Ok, everything good) to 03. I referenced the table of codes in my mobo's manual and found no listing for an 03 code, so I assumed that it was referring to the next most visually similar option, D3. In the manual and online, I found that the D3 code means that 'Some Architectural Protocols are unavailable' which is not a benign code like A0 is, but rather an actual legitimate issue. So I did a ton of research and found a handful of forums referring to D3 and also that it could have some relation to the code D4. But all I could find was that half of people said D3 and D4 are just like A0 and not an issue at all, while the other half say it's a critical issue that means you need to replace your cpu or motherboard. What I could not find was a single post or piece of information that was remotely definitive about what these codes conclusively mean. There was even a forum post from one guy who contacted Gigabyte directly about it and even then, in their responses to him, they did not actually give any clear definition of the codes or their meanings. After hours of scouring the web I still could not discern whether or not my computer actually had a problem. The internet failed me, so I started doing some testing and experimenting of my own and I have finally, at long last, acquired the true and certain answer to this question: The codes D3 and D4 do not indicate a problem, because the codes do not contain D's. If your motherboard's 7-segment LED display looks like it's showing D3 or D4, it is in fact actually showing 03 or 04, despite the fact that neither of those codes are listed in any manuals (for whatever fucking reason). If your motherboard is throwing a D code of some sort, it will show a lowercase 'd' as in d3 or d4. If your board is showing d3 or d4 (or d anything really), then you do in fact have cause for concern. But with that now in mind, the codes 03 and 04 are just like A0, completely harmless and not indicative of any issue whatsoever. They merely refer to the sleep state your computer was most recently woken from, 03 for waking from sleep and 04 for waking from hibernation. You can read more about sleep states here if you're curious: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/power/system-power-states I believe that these codes apply universally to almost all motherboards, not just those made by Gigabyte. The codes appear to only occur on machines running Windows and if it bothers you, it can potentially be changed by disabling 'fast boot' in your computer's advanced power settings. This did not work for me, but I read that it can in some cases. I realize that this is probably a noob question, and the reason that there is no information about it could just be because it's something that most people just already know. But if you are a noob and you happen to run into this question, there is not a single conclusive answer to be found for it virtually anywhere on the internet or in a manual. So I am making this post in the hopes that this information will be accessible to anyone seeking it in the future, and they won't have to worry about it as much as I have XD. I will also cross-post this to the r/gigabyte and r/aorus subreddits as well as the official Gigabyte forums with the intention of it gaining greater visibility. I generally have nothing but good things to say about Gigabyte/Aorus. They make phenomenal components and I absolutely love my board. But the fact that they use these codes and haven't made any effort at all to address them literally anywhere is pretty annoying if I'm being honest. TL;DR - If your motherboard is displaying the debug codes that look like D3 or D4, they are actually codes 03 or 04 and you have nothing to worry about whatsoever. If your board is showing codes d3 or d4 (with a lowercase d), then you most likely do have something to worry about.

the 850w for 160 sounds great. for future upgrades i would wait for the nvidia 30 series and get a rtx 3060 super if you have a budget. The 30 series should come out september 9th.

According to pc part picker you need at least 359W for your system so i would go with a 500+W psu i don't think you need anything more than 600W accounting for upgrades and overclocking.
