Hi, Quick summary: My Asus Z97 WS system was powering on but not outputting to the monitor while giving postcode "0000". Now, it doesn't even power on. Details: My PC was functioning perfectly fine into the early hours of the morning. I went to sleep, got up about 10 hours later, and my PC wouldn't turn on. The motherboard power and reset switch lights were off (they're always on when the PSU is flipped on) and no amount of flipping the PSU switch off/on could get them back. I disassembled the PC and ran it first with only the PSU, CPU, and RAM. It booted up and posted normally. After that, I added my video card (GTX 780) and boot drive (samsung 840 Pro SSD), and it was still functioning fine. I couldn't figure out why the same setup was working completely fine out of the case. I re-assembled everything in the case, and went to boot up. There was no output to the display, and I was getting a post code "0000". I turned it off and back on again about three times (hoping maybe blind luck would save me here), and on my 4th attempt the PC refused to power up at all. The motherboard lights are on, but no case fans or GPU fans spin. I have no idea what it could be. I have some older components I could probably use to make a test station out of and test components one by one again if you need any such information to suggest a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks

So recently, I have been having some major issues with my PC and my HyperX Cloud Revolver Headset. Both microphone ports have stopped working (front audio and the 6 panel on the motherboard). I have tried removing my mic from my headset and plugging it directly in, re-installing realtek drivers, re-installing windows, testing the headset on another computer (which it worked perfectly on), and trying another headset on my PC. None of these apart from using my headset in another computer have been successful. I have been left to wonder what the hell is going on with my computer and I would appreciate any help.

Okay... I am upgrading my current system this Christmas and I am going to be upgrading my GPU and Motherboard... But I have some questions about it... I've attached a image of my upgrade motherboard with some future components I plan too add, but my question is... How is the PCIe lanes going to be calculated... And will there be a Bottlekneck? Reason I am asking this, is because I am going to be having 2x 980 ti's in SLI (Only getting 1 for Christmas, but plan on getting another one later on) but I am worried that with me also having a M.2-to-PCIe adapter and a WLAN card in there... I think it will reduce the PCIe lanes for the GPUs to 4x each, and will this be an issue? I know it will not effect the M.2-to-PCIe as that only uses 4x, but the WLAN card is only going to be using 1x, but I am near 100% sure that it cannot use the extra lanes from the WLAN card and put it towards the GPUs... I hope you understand what I am trying to say because I feel like I am butchering this very hard... - Joe

Hey guys, I have a i5 4460 on a H97 chipset, and I want to upgrade to a 6600k. Obviously I would have to buy a new motherboard, and I want to go with the z170 chipset, but im a little worried about replacing my motherboard. Is it true that changing mobos, especially switching chipsets, can mess with windows? If so, how can I work around this. I would really prefer to not have to reformat my machine. While im here, does anyone have any recommendations for a nice z170 MATX mobo? Thanks EDIT: Im using windows 10, if that makes any difference!

so i recently bricked my msi gaming 5 mobo and i need a cheap replacement and i can find the gigabyte z97p-d3 for £45 on ebay and was wondering if the motherboard is any good as i have seen some weird reviews about it and was wondering if anyone has a better motherboard around the same price tht theyd recommend.

So, outa curiosity, if i wanted to upgrade my 4790k CPU withOUT having to upgrade my z97 mobo and DDR3 RAM, is there something i could upgrade to? OR has this aging build peeked and the only way to upgrade is to gut it and replace the big 3? im sorta holding my breath on DDR5 RAM to upgrade.... but we'll see about that

before I ask my question, yes I know I am better off selling my 2 cards and getting a better one. i recently got a 2nd 1070 amp extreme for cheap ($125 ebay) and got a 2 slot hb sli bridge. the length is too long so I did a little research and learned there is no rhyme or reason to each manufacturer's naming system. I would prefer a zotac bridge to match my gpus,s but will gladly settle for which bridges are for approximately 60mm. the cards are are in slots 2 and 4 in an asrock z97 extreme6 if that helps. thanks in advance for the help. LTT forums are definitely the most helpful on the internet.

Hello Everyone. Unfortunately, despite being in an industry where the hardware is put under constant stress (Motion Graphic Design and VFX) I don't have the budget for a new system and I'm rocking an i7 4790K (stock speed) paired to a MSI Z97 Gaming 5. Recently I have started using some effects and techniques that put extra strain on the CPU and I have been experiencing 99° Celsius (210° F) and that can't be good.... I already have air conditioning active and a cooling fan blowing on the computer case but it's still not good enough (very hot place I live in). I wanted to purchase a double slot (2 fans) liquid cooling system for my CPU, but being the i7 4790K a bit old I'm having a hard time finding a model which is compatible with the old LGA 1150 socket my motherboard has. Do you have any recommendations for some models that are available on mainstream buying platforms? (preferably Amazon, as I have Prime). I only know of the Corsair H100i, which doesn't seem to be available at the moment. I want something functional, I don't want to spend extra money on cosmetic features like RGB and stuff (of course if only an RGB model is available I'd still get it). Purchasing a new cooling solution is quite urgent; I can't comfortably wait for products to come back in stock. Being based in Italy (unfortunately for me...) it would be extra nice if the article was available on https://www.amazon.it/ref=nav_logo Thanks.

Hello, recently took my case apart to clean out some dust from the side panels, however when I closed it back up the computer wouldn’t boot. I started by replugging cables and removing my graphics card - as well as rearranging, reseating and removing my RAM. My computer would turn on when RAM was removed, however I can’t get a video signal without it. I used my mates spare RAM to see if the RAM was faulty, but again it didn’t boot. When holding down the power button, the on off loop was stopped, but the BAT1 cmos light flashed - so I reset the CMOS, removing the battery multiple times whilst powered off, as well as trying to jump the CMOS. But still no luck. Finally I’ve checked the build with another psu (taking apart my mates computer poor sod) still to no avail. Because ive tried all these things I’m assuming there’s something wrong with my motherboard/cpu - considering buying a new one unless anyone has any ideas, cheers BUILD : built in 2015:/ I5 4690k msi z97 5 series gtx 970 msi XTR psu 650w gold

Hello! Please help me with a mobo decision. I have an i7 4790 and I am looking for a "new"(not used) mobo. Don't know what chipset to choose: z97 (same as I had before, but can't really find new mobo)(I know this is overkill for a non oc CPU; I need SLI) or q87 (found in a couple of places). And what differences should I expect? Ty. Edit: I have also seen some h81 mobos(most for BTC).

I am running an older system that I recently updated to a 1080ti. When I upgraded I started running into a weird problem. At seemingly random times, the screen freezes and I get either blocks of neon artifacts or lines on the screen of the same color. This was not a behavior evident with my old GTX 980 and isn't when I run that card. I got the 1080ti RMAd because I assumed that had to be the issue but the new one has identical behavior out of the box. My friend thinks the card is over drawing from the PCIE slot. That doesn't make sense to me seeing as PCIE 3.0 standards should prevent that from happening but when I changed the slot the card is installed in, the same behavior persists so I am compelled to believe him. Any suggestions would be very helpful. PC Spec CPU: 4790k Ram: 16gb HyperX MOBO: MSI Z97 Krait Sli PSU: Corsair HX1000i SSD: Samsung 1tb

Hello guys, I built a pc a couple years ago and broke the pci e slot on my mobo a couple days ago. Was looking for another mobo thats an lga 1150 socket, z97 chipset, and has some space for a 2 slot gpu and 1x sound card for somewhere from 200-300$. I currently have a i7-4790k and a rtx 2070, with 16 gb of ddr3 ram. I looked on newegg and could only find a decent looking one for 285$ but the last 10 or so most recent reviews all say that it was doa. It was the MSI Gaming Z97 GAMING 5. any suggestions are appreciated.

Overclocking i7-4790 None K My GPU To.
Elite Knight posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Hello, I am wondering if I can overclock my i7-4790, not the 4790K. I am not overclocking it huge just want a little bit of extra performance out of it say 4.20ghz from the 4.00ghz turbo. Specs Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 8GB Gigabyte G1 ( Link To GPU Post ) 4x Crucial 8GB DDR3L-1600 UDIMM = 32GB Intel Core i7-4790 3.60ghz/4.00ghz 750Wat EVGA SuperNova Platinum 80+ Fully Modular Corsair H55 Single Rad Dual 120mm Fan Push/Pull MSI PC Mate Z97 Motherboard 2 x Samsung 850 Evo 250GB SSD 1 X 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 64MB Cache Coolermaster Master 5 Pro Case I was hoping to hit about 4.30ghz to 4.40ghz max -
This is what my BIOS looks like... Boots no problem, Win works just fine... i7 4770 non K, R9 FuryX Any tips on how to fix it?

I'm going to be upgrading my platform soon and I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to sell my CPU, motherboard and ram as one unit so someone could save on shipping. Would it be wiser for me to sell the parts individually if I want the most back for them or do you guys think selling the whole platform at once would be attractive due to the savings on shipping and all that? Just looking for some thoughts on this. It's a Asus maximum hero VII, a 4790k and 16gb of corsair vengeance 2400mhz DDR3 ram.

My current motherboard, msi z97 sli kriat, broke down. And I'm now in search of a new motherboard. The problem I'm having is that I can only find h81 motherboards in the lga 1150 socket. So I'm asking is it possible to install my i7 4790k into a h81 motherboard. P.s I live in South Africa, and they don't ship the z97 motherboard here anymore.

Hey guys I've just installed my corsair H100i and overclocked my i5 4690k for the first time. I have the MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard. I set my Ratio to 45 in fixed mode and changed the voltage to 1.2V also turning Intel turbo boost stuff off. My PC booted and I ran prime 95 for about 20 min and played a few games for about 30 minutes each and my results were as follows: (Using CPUID HWMonitor) Prime 95 - Max CPU Temp reached 80 degrees Celsius. Far Cry 5 [1080p Max settings at 77Hz] - Max CPU Temp reached 54 degrees Celsius. The Forest [1080p Max settings at 77Hz] - Max CPU Temp reached 48 degrees Celsius. World of Warcraft [1080p High-Max settings at 77Hz] - Max CPU Temp reached 46 degrees Celsius. My idle temps sit between 33-38 degrees but I think it's because of the fixed ratio. My PC has also had no stuttering issues or crashing issues yet. Now my question is, are my temps good and should I just leave my OC as is, or should I try reducing the voltage to try and drop my temps a little? Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I bought an i7-4790k a few days ago for $25 saying that it's defective because it gives no display. I brought it home and I quickly set up a breadboard in order to test it, with a z97 Asrock Pro 3. It doesn't have an led indicator or light but it has a classic speaker which is supposed to indicate a post code. I put the cpu in the socket and... Nothing. What should I have expected? It powers on the fans, but it doesn't even post, and after 10 seconds, it reboots and stays powered on and heating up without posting (so it is at least receiving power). I have swapped the cpu with my i5 4460 and it posts right off So I have decided to check out some mysterious black silicone marks around the IHS only to find out after prying it open (with my nail!) that it has been dellided by a previous owner... And what a shock, the cpu was covered in a whack ton of thermal paste, it was over the cpu die and the nearby transistors so when I saw that I quickly had a glimpse of hope that if I manage to clean up the mess maybe it would be ok... But nope. I tried updating the bios, resetting the cmos, leaving the battery out overnight, reapplying thermal paste but sadly, it still does not post. So, my question here is, does somebody know even the craziest idea ever to try and boot this mf? Because for $25, I might aswell try everything in order to revive it. I have attached photos of the cpu and visually, it looks very good but internally... Who knows?

Would using a WD SN550 as a boot drive for a linux installation work using the m.2 10gbit/s connector on my motherboard (Asus Z97-P)? I know that the drive speed is significantly faster than 10gbit/s and would therefore be bottle necked but I've run out of SATA ports and the NVME version of a m.2 drive is about the same price as the SATA version of the m.2 drive with much higher read/write IOPS. In addition, I can always reuse the drive when I upgrade. I've tried contacting ASUS to check if NVME is bootable on this motherboard but their response was .... "Please if possible get another SSD - Samsung or Kingston(not the budget ones tho as they fail more often)" which isn't very useful. Any help would be appreciated, Many thanks.

Recently I bought a used computer and everything worked fine, until a BSOD popped up while playing a game. The error was "Memory management". So I tried looking into the problem, but I can't figure it out. My system specs are: PSU - RM850i MOBO - MSI Z97M-G43 GPU - GIGABYTE NVIDIA GTX 1060 6gb CPU - Intel i5 - 4570 SSD - HP M.2 S700 250gb and most importantly, RAM: * 2 x 2gb Kingston KVR1333D3N9K2/4G 1333MHz CL9 1.5V (https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/KVR1333D3N9K2_4G.pdf) * 4gb Apacer AU04GFA33C9QBGC 1333MHz CL9 1.5V (https://consumer.apacer.com/eng/content.php?sn=948) So I downloaded the free version of Memtest86 and tested my RAM with all 3 sticks. I got about 1400 errors with 4 passes. Then I tried testing the modules separately and got no errors. At the moment I'm running the 2x2gb in dual channel (1/3 slots) and I additionally tested the 4gb in the remaining slots and both times Memtest86 greeted me with errors. On MSI page only the Kingston 2x2gb RAM modules are listed as compatible (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z97M-G43.html#support-mem-0), but I'm really curious as of why this is happening and what should be my actions going forward? The clocks, speeds and voltages are identical so I reckon there is no need to mess with the BIOS to try to make them work together. Is there anything I'm missing, is there a way to set them up properly or could this be a MOBO defect ? Thanks a ton everyone! PS. First time posting on forums

Budget (including currency): 1800$ (in 2015) Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AAA gaming, Light CAD, multimedia. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): "Upgrade or overclock" It was a dilemma I tried justifying both ways. My only issue so far is fan noise, in-game performance is great yet. I basically bought the best of the best at the time in 2015. TLDR: I bought 400$ worth of watercooling components - De-lidding stuff - Thermal Grizzly stuff - Hardline tubing - CPU & GPU blocks. 4790k - Asus Z97 Gryphon matx MOBO w/thermal Armor - Corsair Dom Plats 2400mhz Cas11 - Samsung 860 evo ssd's - GTX Titan Black 6gb FE - CoolerMaster V8 tower cpu cooler version 1 - Caselabs Mercury s5 pc case- Noctua fans - CableMod cables. Since I invested so heavily into the build already I figured it was my only opportunity to have a boutique build like these youtubers. It also gives me the opportunity to apply what I've learned about Overclocking / De-lidding / watercooling from these guys like GN/Linus/Jayz2cents/etc. over the years. It extends the life of what I own, F*** man I spent like 1800$ in 2015 for this build and more over the years in small upgrades. I'm not poor and could easily afford to just do a new top tier build but that only takes away from other hobbies and experiences or equity I could have. $400 in the grand scheme of things isn't really much considering all this time I've been running at stock speeds and just now seeing the need to "upgrade or overclock" Other solutions would be to just buy a 400$ G-card and call it a day. Or buy 400$ worth of cpu-mobo-ram I could, but then I'll still technically be mid-tier and have a loud-ish g-card. Or buy 400$ worth of watercooling stuff, stay Mid-tier with my current gear all while gaining free visible performance with some overclocks, quieting down my rig, and making it look like a custom youtuber pc. Win, win, win. I think anyways. Any criticism is appreciated. This post was made in response to Gamers Nexus recent video linked here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9HV9V5nzOc

Hi, So I recently got a Samsung 970 evo 250GB. It is faster than my sata SSD but no where near the speed advertised. I have a ASRock Z97 Pro4 Motherboard. I know its an older board with PCIe Gen 3 but I have seen that there are ways to get more PCIe lanes to the M.2 slot so that it will run faster. I only have my GPU in a PCIe slot. In CrystalDiskMark I get 800 M/B per second. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could get higher speeds out of it?

hello! I have downloaded a new update for windows, something went wrong and my pc couldn't boot, or even show bios... i switched BIOS and and reinstalled windows and now it works fine, i tried to switch it back but it still shows just black screen and dosen't even get to BIOS, now i don't want to update my BIOS on this one just to be sure everything is going to work fine. Now my question is, how can i make my other bios work? I am not sure which version that main BIOS was Thank you!
