Ok thanks ! Sadly I cannot find the HQ Q80R for sell

What about this at 1k$ cad ? SAMSUNG HW-Q900T

Hi, The budget is 500 to 1000 CAD$ I want something for my TV for movies. I do not know anything about audio so I thought maybe some experts here can recommends brand / models fitting my needs. I am not the one who put the sound volume to the max, I want quality for movies / music. Not sure if my price range make sense or not but if you can recommend anything outside that price range feel free to do it as my budget is not fixed. I would use the system with a 3080ti computer and a 4k TV Thanks !

thanks for sharing, might come useful one day I will be using W10 for as long as possible

cpu should stya under 80c you have bad thermal paste or bad heatsink placement

Yep correct lol Many customers boycott companies that they had first time bad experience, it's human nature, nothing wrong there, like, I can't and won't ever buy MSI products ! I can also name... Razor and hummm Apple of course but apple reason is not about first time bad experience lmao you all know

Got 2x16GB 3200 mhz corsair, works fine no more problems so far

Well I tested one stick at a time and one is faulty almost instantly during test (always within 5%) and other pass the test well... I will just keep that one as a test spare part and buy a new corsair kit since at the store near here they have a 3200 mhz cl16 2x16gb I guess ill go with that Cheers guys

Hi, I had 2x 16GB Ripjaw 3600 mhz ram but since couple weeks I had many blue screen and after running Ram diagnostic , I get hardware failure at 20% of the test so obviously ram is the issue. It does that at stock speed or at 3600 mhz OC, same issue... Thinking of buying 2x 16GB corsair now... Is ripjaw ram actually junk or ? It was my first experience with it and really disappointed, it worked fine only for ~1 year Any recommandation on RAM for this CPU with a Z490-A Asus board ?

Looks like artifacts, is the card over clocked ? IF yes set to default stock Also update drivers as stated and hope for the best

cpu usage like 10% .... 10900k... gpu usage like 2%....

1440p all high settings driver updated all other games works fine 144 fps most of them but lost ark... I got 5-10 fps ??? What is this.... sh*t game ???

You do not understand how it works. CPU not being at 100% is good. You want CPU to be at lowest % possible. CPU only need to work a specific amount to provide all the juice the GPU needs to perform it's 100% So here I see your CPU around 50% usage while you have your GPU at 95% usage, which are good stats. GPU is only limited by 5% somehow (could be game engine, drivers, or whatever, but 5% is nothing to be worried) So again, 50% CPU usage is perfect, if it goes higher than 80% usage start to worry about CPU bottleneck, cpu not strong enough for your GPU / system, which is not the case here, you have plenty of room GPU at 95% usage means it's 95% used to it's maximum force, which is good too. Do not think that CPU must be at 100% usage to deliver all it's "power" it doesn't work like that, you want the cpu to use AS LESS POWER as possible as long as the GPU is maxed at 95%-100% usage. Cheers

But those calculations are not lagging from the CPU / GPU so I assume poor optimization from the game code or engine right ? I can't go further with the poor knowledge I have. So yeah... Was wondering... Okay I guess we can only hope patches fix this later on since it's the software issue (age4 itself)

Checking again. Here is print screen below. Does core load = gpu usage ??? If yes that would mean gpu usage was 78% at that spot. So then in the game I was in a spot where I had 120 fps there. So since CPU usage is around 20% usage I assume that the game is unable to use all the GPU to get up to my gsync 144hz monitor 144 fps ? (all settings are fine vsync etc.. gsync etc... works fine lock to 144 in all games... in age 4 settings it's fine too so not a problem here )

MSI afterburner I am starting to think that the issue is age 4 itself, found many threads on google that they get 130 fps with very very low gpu usage and then gets to low as 50 60 in some fights etc.. Seems like just modern game problems where they are optimized like SHI T !!! right !?!?

RTX 3080 Ti only 5% gpu usage in age of empires 4. The games still manage to go up to 130 fps but then sometimes goes down to 50 fps I am with a 10900k and 1440p monitor. All settings to high. What am I missing ? My gpu usage went up to 14% maximum but mostly stay at 5%. I should not have less than 100 fps in this game what am I missing ? All other games run perfectly like they should. Anyone knows ??? This is annoying as hell I have to say if I play a 1 vs 1 then I will get 100-130 fps Then if I play a 4 vs 4 late game I am down to 50 fps but GPU usage still at 5-10% ??? CPU usage stays steady around 20-30% Help !! Why won't the GPU use ressources to keep a 140 fps steady ???? I have the latest NVIDIA drivers so you guys know...

They just milked the " 10 GB VRAM is not enough " so they made it 12GB and told themself we gonna sell that shit double price and these dumb f*** will buy it anyway

And it is really more close to 5% overall games. Far from 10% Nvidia have became scalpers by themselves. Boycott the 3080 ti , it's a waste of $ , buy only if you give absolute no fuck about that 2K$ or whatever the price is in your country I would like to get a rtx 3080 tho, at MSRP, I would buy right away !

Haven't logged in for a while, seeing this, thanks for the info and correcting me !

Mine never goes over 1300 RPM (cpu) runs @ 600 rpm on idle

Also these numbers doesn't really makes much sesnse " 5000 " " 6000 " A cpu fan @ 6000 RPM ? What turbo did you install on this fan ??? Most cpu fans run between 600 RPM to 1500, 2000, 2500 rpm

CPU and GPU are 2 different components. They should not run the same RPM. They both increase the fan speed depending on the heat received on components. Since they are 2 different components , they don't sync. Your CPU could be used a lot so therefore, lot of heat, so fan speed increase, but the GPU might not work at all so no need to have fan sped up. Same goes for reverse situation.

I had same issue with same PSU. Then on a next PC I bought a RM850x and it's super silent. Not sure if I just got lucky with the 850 or if they are more silent.

I believe if you want to go Intel you should wait for their next line up. Buying 10600k right now should do the job perfectly fine and you would be happy but it's not a "good" deal since the new gen is coming soon. That being said, for now if you don't want to wait for next Intel line up, I believe you have better options with AMD.
