  1. It does run at higher speeds on other systems. This motherboard is capable of sata 1.5/3/6gbps speeds on all 6 of it's ports.
  2. You can add as many GPUs as your PC can handle. They don't need to be in SLI but they can't be used together without some kind of multi GPU technology. That being said SLI is dead. You can use a 1030 as a display adapter however it will use PCie lanes and may increase overall power consumption.
  3. By the sounds of it your GPU is most likely dead or some component that powers the GPU has failed and it's preventing the GPU from powering up. What you described seems like the GPU is simply not connected but it obvious is. I doubt there's anything wrong with the GPU die unless you overclocked your GPU way beyond spec. That being said I woudl disassemble the card and do a visual inspection. Maybe you'll see a burned component or maybe you won't.
  4. I know it won't affect performance much but it can affect burst performance or when utilizing the onboard cache. I've tried another cable but it seems to have done nothing. in the end I'm not super concerned over this but I would like to figure out why it's doing this. I cant see any obvious reason why it would.
  5. I agree with what @SansVarnic said. 450 watts is not enough for that system. I have a 3700X build with a GTX 970 and I can easily pull over 500 watts under load. You're videocard is much more powerful than mine and can easily consume 200 watts if not more. if anything you're likely right on the edge of what that PSU can do and it's likely putting out dirty power with lots of ripple thats causing your hardware to glitch out and cause problems. I would personally consider a nice seasonic 700-1000 watt PSU. 700 watt should be more than enough unless you plan on upgrading to more powerful hardware.
  6. I have an old SATA 2 drive that's capable of 3 gigabits per second of connection speed but its only running at SATA 1 1.5 gigabits per second. I have an X570 motherboard with 6 SATA 3 6 gigabit per second ports. When its plugged in to any SATA port on this motherboard it only runs at half speed when in Windows it shows up as being capable of more and even in the spec sheet it shows the same. I can't see why any of my SATA ports would be limited in speed considering there are 2 other hard drives plugged in running at SATA 3 6 gigabit per second. Why this third drive can't run at full speed is beyond me at the moment as all of the hardware it capable of running full speed. Any ideas? Also the motherboard is specifically an X570-A Pro from MSI.
  7. So I've owned a Corsair M65 for quite some time now and for the longest time it's been fine except over the past few months I've noticed sometimes when i left click it doesn't register. I assumed it was me clicking too fast or not clicking all the way but I always heard a click sound so I assumed that the switch inside is physically registering a click. I did some Googling around and it seems like many users are having issues with the M65 and the left click. Some users say its a problem with the switch but most users seem to say its related to iCUE. I personally can't see why it would be related to iCUE as I don't think it does anything to the left click that would make it miss clicks every once and awhile. I also noticed that if I click a little bit harder it seems to register all the time but I don't know if this is because the switch is bad or that it takes more time to register. Anyone know if there's any known issues with the M65 other than pure speculation by users who don't really know what's going on?
  8. Anything that isn't founders edition may have a minor difference in performance but its nothing you can't achieve on your own with a small overclock. in general its less than 5% difference.
  9. I got a message from eBay today and it would appear as if they are actively enabling scalping on their website.
  10. To make a long story short I have a computer with 2 GPUs in it and the AMD control panel won't open. On launch is crashes with the following error message "LoadLibrary failed with error 126: The specified module could not be found.". I've googled around and all of the information I found was useless. The first GPU in the system is a GTX 970 and the second is a RX460. I'm also running the latest version of Windows 10. Anyone know how to fix this?
  11. I'm copying a bunch of ISO files. Around 2GB each. And yes I'm getting 10 megabytes per second transfer speeds. The folder only has maybe 25 files in it.
  12. So to make a long story short I have 2 computers connected over a 1 gigabit network connection and I'm trying to copy some large files over from one SSD to another. Problem is it's going super slow for no good reason. The device that has the files is a gaming laptop that I know is fast enough for a full 1 gig transfer speed but the SSD im reading the files off is hitting 100% active time and only transferring the files at about 10mbps. When I run a disk benchmark I saturate the SATA interface and the speeds are fine so I doubt the issue is related to the SSD itself. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue? Both computers are running Windows 10 and none of the storage disks or network interfaces are bottlenecks.
  13. Overclocking a monitor doesn't degrade the monitor. It either outputs video or it doesn't. Sometimes you will get video output but the controller will drops frames.
  14. Undervolting won't solve the issue and even if it did that's not a solution. I'm not sure if that card you linked is really going to do much as from what I can tell some motherboards have seperate on board voltage regulation per slot or are at least not direct;y getting power from the same place. On my X570 board if I load down my GTX 970 the PCIe voltage drops a bit but the voltage in on the RX 460 doesn't change so it leads me to think they are not directly connected. I'm also kinda skeptical if that card you linked would even do anything for it's advertised use case. Seems like one of those audiophile snake oil things for people with high end internal sound cards. Ideally what I would need is one of those PCIe mining card adapters that goes from 16x to 16x with external power input for the slot but sadly they all seem to be 1x only. Also I'm not sure if @jakkuh_t would waste his time with this lol. That being said I'll definitely keep that link in mind just incase I really can't find anything else.
  15. I've tested in multiple systems with multiple power supplies that work flawlessly with other GPUs. I fail to see how a power supply would have a hardware specific problem like this considering I've used more power hungrey cards in those systems that had problems. For example the Z68 system currently has an Nvidia GTX 1650 with external PCie power. If there was something wrong with the 12v rail surely it would be obvious with a card that puts more load on the rail. I've also tested that same GPU in the Z77 system and it works fine too. Both of those systems work perfectly fine and I know the PSU's work.
  16. So to make a very long story short I have an AMD RX 460 that does not have an external PCIe power connector so it gets all of it's power directly from the PCIe slot. The problem I'm having is that if I load down the GPU with a 3D load at all an invisible counter starts ticking and eventually the GPU will stop working. Now before someone claims that the card is faulty or defective I can say with absolute certainty that it's not. I've tested this GPU in 3 seperate computers and it works flawlessly in one of them. The issue I'm having is clearly related to PCIe power but I'm not sure how to go about alleviating it. I've tested this card in a system with a Z68 board and it had problems. I also tested this card in a Z77 board and again it had problems. Lastly I tested this GPU in an X570 board and it works flawlessly. I'm 99.9% sure the issue is related to PCie power not being up to snuff but I don't know how to find a solution. I tested the GPU in the X570 board and with the card going full tilt with an overclock HWinfo was reading the PCIe input voltage as low as 11v. the voltage drop under furmark load is very high but the card never fails in that system. In the other 2 Intel boards the card will work fine until it needs to up the clocks and run a load. By the way I should mention I'm not overclocking the card I just did in the X570 system to make a worst case scenario and it passed with flying colours. I also tested the GPU in Windows, Ubuntu and MacOS and the problem persists on all the Intel boards I've tested. I think the issue is that when the card goes from having an average power draw to suddenly having a moment of high power draw like when a stutter occurs the voltage on the PCIe slot drops or spikes in a way that causes the GPU to lock up or something. The actual GPU and all that works fine but power delivery isn't good on those boards. I've been thinking about trying to find something that can maybe help stabilize the voltage but I'm not sure what that would be. Maybe a 24 pin adapter with some extra capacitors on it or maybe thing similar for the PCIe slot. that being said I don't know if such a thing even exists. I'm also pretty sure it's not possible to hack on a PCIe power connector as this GPU in particular wasn't built with one. Anyone got any ideas? Also downclocking the card to avoid this issue isn't an option. If I have to do that I would rather just buy a new GPU as that isn't what I would consider a proper solution.
  17. Yea I'm aware I could easily make one but I would prefer a nicer solution that I can just plop in quickly.i also don't have access to alot of tools so I would kind of be limited to very thin and cheap brackets I can cut with snips. I would rather not have to hack together something like that if a bracket with a button already exists. I just can't seem to find one.
  18. Does anyone know if there's a bracket I can buy with a button on it that I can wire up to the clear CMOS jumper on my motherboard? My board doesn't have a built in button for this but it does have a jumper that if I short it with a screwdriver it will clear CMOS however it's in a location that's hard to reach and I don't like having to put a metal screwdriver there while the PC is on. I tried looking for one online but I didn't find anything. I just need something that slots into a rear PCI slot bracket and has a simple button or switch with a 2 on header on it. Thanks.
  19. Not sure what to tell you man. Maybe you got a bad ram stick.
  20. Ye but that's still up to an algorithm.
  21. Reseat the RAM and try different slots. Also are you enabling XMP?
  22. Its fine. That part is pretty low power anyways so i don't see why there would be any issues.
  23. So I haven't seen the amazon go store video pop up in ages in my recommendations but I just watched the wan show archive and the moment I return to the home screen this is what I see... Interesting how that showed up after Linus talked about it in the wan show.
