Good idea, and yeah my plan was on removing the peripherals when testing it out. I thought the iGPU would take over if the GPU fails but might just be smart to take the GPU and make sure what happens. It's basically a good startup; RGB properly works on fans and keyboard/mouse, fans go to the full 100% (as regular during startup) and then slow down back to their 'idle' mode. I will probably be testing later tonight (in 2-3 hours) since I'm still finishing up some work (as long as my PC is still on and working) so will get back to you guys later today.

No overclocking what so ever. Everything is just as it gets out of the box. What I should maybe mention aswell is that I do have some more components but I can't imagine those combined turning into a power issue or something like that. Like 5 fans, RGB keyboard+mouse, headset, etc.

Hello everyone, since a couple days I'm starting to have issues that my PC doesn't want to fully turn on the first couple times when pressing the On/Off switch. Currently trying to figure out what the exact issue might be and how to solve it. PC Components: When turning on the PC, it does not show anything on screen and when checking the motherboard it shows a burning VGA debug LED. After a couple on/off it turns on correctly and there seems to be no issues. Benchmarks shows all components showing as intended and nothing is holding back. The only other issue I've spotted so far, is that one of the USB-A/USB-C ports on the motherboard (the "VR-READY" ones) don't seem to work and also just instantly stop when Disabling/Enabling them through device manager. They do provide power however (my phone charges through them both when using a cable) First I thought it was a GPU issue (due to the VGA debug LED and no image on my screen) but now I'm slowly starting to wonder if it's not the motherboard. The integrated graphics should've kicked in even if the GPU is not functioning but even that doesn't happen (I plugged in an HDMI from the motherboard through my monitor but also then with restarting I get no image) and I get the VGA debug LED anyway. Anyone ideas on what would be best to continue?

About 83-87C; usually starting to quickly ramp up to 83 and then just going on to after about 10-15 mins. Meant more in the sense of: The 1070 isn't really made for 4K so it's understandable it gets hotter then for example running the same settings in 1080p Yeah, the €1.350 I was planning to save until end September is (hopefully) for both the 30XX and a 1TB SSD. Then later this year/beginning next I could also potentially upgrade the other parts. Sounds like a plan!

Budget (including currency): €1.350,- (could upscale if necessary but not preferred) Country: Netherlands Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Heaviest game: Watch Dogs: Legion; Also will have to run some VR on it but won't be AAA. Other details: Current PC-hardware: Case: Cooler Master Midi Tower Mastercase Maker 5 Motherboard: MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon CPU: Intel i7 7700K 4.20GHz GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 1070 Gaming X 8GB RAM: Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz PSU: Corsair RM650x 650W 1 Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2, 250GB In total 3 Seagate Barracuda HDD for a total of 4TB storage space Bunch of 140mm fans Monitors: LG 32UD59-B (4K 60Hz) and AOC Q27G2U/BK (QHD 144Hz) which I both bought from a buddy of mine when he bought 2 the same monitors. Eventhough I'm quite happy with my current setup, I'm starting to run into some issues that my GPU starts to heat up quite nicely when running games in 4K, which could be understandable due to the fact that it's a GTX1070. When Watch Dogs: Legion comes out, I want to be able to play that as good as I possibly could and was currently planning on ordering a RTX30XX when they drop. However I realised that there might be more or that it might be another thing which will then massively start holding me back compared to the RTX30XX. Of course there will always be bottlenecking, but there is a difference when a CPU only maximally runs for 30% while the GPU is doing 100% and consistently being 85C and bottlenecking where it is only minimal. Hope people can shed their ideas and lights on this.
