Hello guys. This is the first time for me to post here. I'm sorry if it's in the wrong section of the forum. Recently I bought new components for my new desktop PC. I have a budget of 160 euros max. Since I live in Serbia, for that amount of money, the best thing I can get is GTX 1050 TI. And I'm fine with that. The "problem" comes here. I found an MSi GTX 1050 TI OC edition for around 156-160euros, but it HAS NO 6-pin for additional power. So my question is: "How can it be an OC version if it cant take more than standard 75W? Shouldn't it require 120W for overclocking, therefore it needs a 6-pin connector? I need help with this guys. I wont purchase until i get some quality answer. Here's the link to the exact graphics card: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti-4GT-OC.html or should I get the EVGA version: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-6251-KR Thank you all for helping me out. Best regards, Alex

I posting this in the GPU section because I’m pretty sure this issue is with the GPU. Yesterday, I overclocked my graphics card (In signature) again after accidentally removing the old overclock. Everything went fine, until I got some errors and issues, so I backed off a bit. I then went to test the overclock. I loaded up FurMark, and it ran fine. I then pressed space to remove the fur ring and my GPU started to make a screaming noise. When I pressed space again to put the fur ring back, it stopped. I removed the overclock, restarted, and when I loaded up FurMark again, the same thing occurred. During this time, the PC seemed way slower than usual. I think the screaming noise has to do with high framerates, because when the Fur ring was removed the FPS would jump to 1400ish. But then again, this has never happened before. Any ideas?

I recently built my PC. Im using ryzen 5 1600 and gtx 1060.Everything works perfectly. The temps are 65 C under load for GPU (55 when gaming and 40 when idle) and CPU is 30 C idle. The only problem i have is a strange noise everytime i turn on my PC.Listen to the sound from 28-35 second.Its a fast sharp sound. Zvuk 001.m4a

I am surprised this topic hasn't already been created honestly (from what I could find in the search) as I realised this topic could be quite funny. Perhaps it could be pinned because of that reason alone Anyway, I shall go first since I had two really weird dreams last night. 1. I somehow accidentally shut a kitten in a freezer until it became a block of ice. When I realised the kitten was in there, I took it out to let it dry in the sun and somehow the poor creature came back to life! I then kept it to love it forever 2. I went to a pool party but whenever I got in the pool rocks fell from the sky. Everyone in the pool at the time was told to run to a safe place which was a small green van several miles away (very odd if you ask me). Whoever got in the van first would win £250. Obviously with it being my dream I got to the van first but I ran on all fours and not my legs to get there. To my surprise I was then knighted and then given the £250 (my unconscious is actually richer than me haha) Anyway, please share your dreams and perhaps we can get this to become a pinned topic!! - Have fun!

So every few hours my computer will shut off randomly without warning then restart without me pressing anything. Afterwards I get no warnings or error codes. It's very irregular shut downs as well. I've had it shut off during 3d modeling/rendering, video gaming, and Internet surfing on chrome. Even once while totally idle while I was out of the room making lunch with no programs running. The most interesting thing is I have a fan speed controller that has a clock and each time it gets reset as if the PSU was unplugged. But it's not a bad PSU. I swapped the PSU with another from a friend (same wattage, no issue with his PC) and I have the same issue. I also swapped the power cord. I have tried on and off a backup battery (ups) and had the issue with both, so it's not wall power. So I've ruled out power delivery. I have a CPU GPU liquid cooled setup that runs around 40c even at time of shutdown so it's not temperatures. It's happened while at stock speeds and overclocked, so it's not because of overclocking instability. (I can run benchmarks just fine) There's no leaks and no mixed metals in the system. So it's not the liquid cooling system. Any ideas what's going wrong? Cus I'm kinda stumped. The problem started about 2 weeks ago. System was built in 2014 with only a change of the liquid in the system and the diagnostic PSU swap. I've added more HDDs and SSDs since it was built but that's the only hardware change but nothing added recently, and none are acting up. Windows 10 ASUS RAMPAGE V EXTREME Intel 5960x 2x EVGA 980 SC SAMSUNG XP941 for the C drive CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) 2x D5 pumps in series with full EK rads and blocks The 2 power supplies I've tried are: Rosewill RBR1000-MS 1000W And Corsair HXi Series HX1000i 1000W I have to assume there's something happening that's tripping the PSU since that's the only thing that would reset the clock, but it's not a PSU problem, as it's happened between 2 different fully functional power supplies. Any ideas?

I have been encountering an issue, where there has been very low audio on youtube, spotify, and games, but the windows sound is fine, as well as discord sound, acting as normal. This is where it gets odd. I was trying to resolve the error, has some quiet music on (100% on my speakers, 100% on windows sound) and uninstalled the drivers for both my audio ports (speakers and digital audio) and averything stayed the same. the volume was still very low, but the music was still playing. i then rebooted my pc, no change, and went to my mobo website, installed the drivers, rebooted, and Still NO CHANGE. Please help. this is driving me mad, and i have scoured every fourm about this Thank you in advance!

Im building a budget system from used parts, I have an i5 3470, and an mq77dk motherboard ive purchased off of ebay. The system works the odd thing is I plug an old rx 250 (single slot low power card) works fine the board see it video initializes everything is golden I plug in an Asus 750ti strix card works all is gold i plug in an rx480 nothing bios shows the slot as unpopulated and only onboard video will work. the rx480 works fine, in fact im using it on the machine im typing this post on. The only thing i can think of is maybe the power draw is too high. there is literally nothing available on google and im at my wits end on this.

Hi lovely people I recently encounter strange "low fps" experience on pretty much every game I have played. Even though I upgraded my parts of my PC, problems still exist. Let me list my build parts then details the problem. Old----------->>New b85 asrock anniversary ----------------> Asus X470 Prime Pro Xeon E3 1230 v3 ------------------------> Amd 2700X (@4.0) gskill rapjaw DDR3 1600 4gx2 -------> Adata DDR4 3000 8Gx2( both new and old setup work as dual channel) Evga 600b ---------------------------------> SF-550P14XE (brand name is superflower, ps gets 110w for+3.3v and +5v; 546w for +12v) HDD WD 7200 Blue 1T-------------> does not change, has been running with care(keep in cool and dry condition) MSI GTX970 OC --------------------> does not change, has been running with care too, recently I changed paste for it but it did not help out Windows 7 pro ----------------------------> has keep updated until Nov. 2018 (updates in Dec. 2018 made huge lag even on watching linus on youtube so I uninstalled them via CMD) ---------------------------------- Couple noticeable things: 1) GPU usage never reach about 45% among all game I have played recently: csgo, path of exile, re 2, farcry newdawn, warframe and so on. 2) I have tried all possible solution via software settings such as nvidia control board, msi afterburner forcing fan running max speed and oc a little bit, all windows setting are proper 3)HDD had been defragged ----------------------------------- So these are pretty much all, I hope some good tech geeks can help me detect where is the issue and hopefully comes out a solution... thank you -
Hullo! I'm new here but have been watching LTT for a while. So I recently endured an accidental endeavor while trying to upgrade an OEM PC and ended up building an entirely different PC. Oops. However, I'm having a weird CPU/Chipset/Motherboard compatibility issue and found that only 2 out of 10 USB ports work. So I was looking for a few more USB Ports to add via PCIe. That's where this weird thing comes in: MZHOU USB 3.0/USB-C M.2 Expansion Card Okay, so I have zero doubts that the M.2 will work with SSDs. However, my need for an M.2 slot comes in the form of an Intel WiFi 6/Bluetooth 5.0 M.2 card I pulled off the OEM PC. I only have 1 slot on the board and it is occupied by my SSD and I'm trying to recycle as many parts as possible from the OEM. I've been staring at the key and cant make heads or tails as to whether this will work for my purpose. I also work in tech support and my colleagues are baffled as well, as the PCIe expansion card comes with a SATA cable for data transfer. But why? Unless the PCIe card itself is dedicating the board connection for USB data and all SSD data is going through the SATA cable, with the PCIe only providing power. We've been going back and forth as there is conflicting documentation on the card. It comes in tomorrow, so we will know then, but figured this was the right crowd for this discussion Thanks guys! t o o d l e s -
I have this fun thing going on and I don't know how to address it so I came for help. So I have this aging PC with those specs: i7 3930K@4.2ghz Asus P9X79 Deluxe 4*8GB DDR3 1600mhz It's all nice and games but it beeping. First, it beeps 1 short which means okey-dokey... so far so good... about 2-3 seconds later it beeps 1 long and 3 short which afaik its a RAM issue. A few seconds later it just casually boots into Windows like nothing ever happened. So I ran memtest for 4 hours.. zero errors found. Dropped the OC and returned everything to stock.. Still the same boot sequence. I don't get BSODs, it doesn't crash when I render or game... but it did crash once with prime95. I changed nothing, ran it again, and it just went on for a couple of hours without crashing. Temps seems okay - around 70-75c under load. Now what? I can just pull out that speaker and let it go but im just worried.

I recently built a new computer. All seems to be going swimmingly with it. However I have noticed occasionally an odd noise coming from the PSU itself. If you listen to the audio file there is an audible almost fizzing noise from time to time that can be hear. Now in all honesty to record this I had to put my microphone right next to the PSU and turn up the gain a bit, and given that my computer is under my desk it is inaudible most of the time. But I do occasionally hear it. Under any normal circumstance I probably wouldn't be too fussed but this is my first custom build and I'm still worried about having done something wrong or something breaking and blowing the whole system. The PSU I have is the Corsair CX750M, if that helps. I would like to overclock too which adds to my worry about this PSU, and I'm currently running my RAM overclocked from 2133MHz to 2666MHz using Gigabyte's EasyTune software (planning on seeing if I can push it any further too, but I don't think I'd like to risk it until I get this sorted out). Thanks! edit: forgot to add that the sound of the buzz or the fizz is on top of the sound of the fan. Sorry the only way I could get the microphone to pick it up was to put it in the direct path of the airflow out. Recording.m4a

For some reason, all of the inactivate tabs on chrome look strange and some are completely blurred. Any suggestions of possible fixes? I have already tried disabling hardware acceleration.

So, I was scrolling through EUCOMTECH looking for an RX 480 when I spot this odd looking beast priced at DOUBLE that of the RX480, I'd love to know what the hell it is and why it justifies that pricetag, because really? something that looks like its from 2006 and only has 2GB of VRAM commanding a €300+ pricetag?? anyways, here it is! thoughts down below please!

Adaptec 81605ZQ not Detecting 5 of 6 WD red 4TB drives
Green_man_5 posted a topic in Storage Devices
i just got my new Adaptec raid card and got all exited to install it only to find that 5 out of the 6 WD 4TB Red dives i have aren't detected by the card. all 6 are detected by windows when they are directly connected to the motherboard with sata cables as well as an older rocket raid card. ive tried different diagnostics on the drive and all coming back as ok including SMART all 6 drives are WD Red 4TBthe FW is 7.9-0 (33023) and the windows driver is 7.5-0 (41063) the cable is a Adaptec I-HDmSAS-mSAS 0.5m Cable - 2281200-R the raid card is attached to the backplane of my norco rpc 4224 case the 1 working drive spins up as soon as it is attached but the other drives dont, they almost seem to be in a low power state as the do more than nothing when powered up no mater what port the working drive is in it works fine but on the same port none of the other drives work, i even tested some old 160GB WD drives and that work as expected the working drive works in all slots where the none working ones dont and all the none working drives work fine when directly attached the motherboards sata or to an older raid card using the same backplane. to me it seems that there is an issue with the raid card detecting the drive not the drive or any of the wiring. some of the drives where even detected for a short time before being lost to the raid card and i have been unable to replicate this. i have been in contact with Adaptec about this issue and they concluded that it is defective, and to RMA it to the reseller. but i want to confirm that i cant do anything to fix it as i had a hard time getting it from the reseller but thats a story for another time, putting it short it took 2 months to get it. i have ordered 2 more WD red 4TB drives to test with and they should arrive next week. anyone have ideas? -
Hey LTT Forums, My monitor is displaying weird cyan/ blue lines when it is meant to be displaying black, could this be a ribbon cable being slightly disconnected? It shows up even when it says no signal detected so it's not my gpu or VGA cable. I'll attach a picture showing what it looks like. Thanks, Jake

Hey! Essentially since today I've been getting this really annoying coil whine is what I believe is called, out of nowhere too just suddenly started. I've done some tests and what not and have figured when it starts, when it stops and what not, and hopefully somebody can tell me 1. Where the coil whining is happening and 2. If I can fix it. 1. When I startup my PC, the coil whining does not begin until about 20-30 minutes of having the PC turned on. If I shut down the PC, as soon as I click ''restart'' or ''Shut down'', the coil whining stops. 2. The coil whining only happens in desktop/Chrome usage. If I run for example CSGO and get into a map, it stops no matter where I look in the map etc. 3. If I run a stress test called Prime95, the coil whining stops, as soon as I close it, the coil whining starts again. I have tried going into the BIOS and turning off anything that has ''Power savings'' and ''Voltage savings'' etc for the CPU, however no luck.

For my audio setup I am using a Astro Mixamp since I like the quick adjustments I can make and I like having it on my desk (not on my clothes like the HyperX dongle). However the actual Astro A40's broke so I replaced them with the HyperX cloud 2's. I am curious to know if I would run into any problems if I use a Astro Mixamp on a HyperX headphones together?

Hi, Sometimes if I try to turn on my PC, nothing happens. I press the power button and nothing... No fans, no POST, no drives spinning up. The PSU does make a very quiet buzzing noise though. After about 40 seconds of waiting, the PC suddenly powers on, drives start spinning and it POSTs and runs just fine This is random, I could shut down my computer and it will turn on instantly when I press the power button, other times not. I've tried pressing the button several times, tried holding it down, tried the button on the motherboard, nothing... The standby lights on the motherboard remain on though... Even if i turn off my power supply completely and wait a few mins. for the motherboard lights to turn off and the system to drain completely, it only turns on sometimes. This didn't happen when I first got my PC, it just started randomly. I've tried reseating power cables, reseating RAM, resetting CMOS, shutting down from Linux etc... nothing has helped. I can post a video if you want, it might be able to explain the problem a bit better.

My friend has been having some problems with his PC, specifically involving his USB ports, that are rather strange, and he asked me for advice. Seeing as I have no idea what to do I came here. Basically he has been having 2 problems:\ 1. When he plugs in USB devices into his front panel, his PC makes a strange high pitched beeping noise. It happens with his Xbox controller and drawing tablet, but not with his headphones. 2. Every few minutes he hears the USB disconnect sound, which sometimes also correlates to his mouse not working for a moment and sometimes the whole PC freezing up for a minute, but not always. So yeah, what should I tell him? Thanks.

Hey! For some time now my PSU has been making strange noises. It literally sounds like somebody snoring or a cat purring which is really strange, I've tried to research it but couldn't find anything with this exact noise. Sometimes the noise gets louder and faster, sometimes quieter and slower, however the tone remains the same. It is an 80+ certified EVGA 500W PSU so that's that. Specs - Xeon e3 1231 v3 R9 380 MSI Gaming edition 8GB RAM 250GB SDD 1TB HDD And of course, the noise http://vocaroo.com/i/s0bZi4BpPooF

So yesterday I installed two Noctua NF-P14s(redux) in the front of my NZXT S340 case, and they start up well and everything but they make this weird noise. It sounds like a low pitched woob woob woob but it's loud at the same time. Yes I unplugged the fans to see if it was my GPU or CPU fans or other case fans and the noise wasn't there, but when I plugged the NF-P14's in the noise came back. They're plugged into my motherboard and mounted in the front of the case right behind an air filter and they are in the intake position. My full build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/x9tMnn I used the metal screws that came with the fans, so I'm wondering if getting some of those rubber anti-vibration screws will fix it? The metal screws didn't exactly fit so I had to force them in so they made their own swirly pattern. If that even matters.
