Alright so my setup is Intel i7 8700k generic aio Used to be 32gb ram now down to 16 (more on that later) msi duke gtx 1080 ti msi z370 a pro thermaltake 600w 80+ white (yikes and probs the culprit tbh) 1tb hdd wd blue 250 gb sata ssd wd green 1tb nvme sn750 wd black so i was playing monster hunter last night when suddenly the game froze badly with a horrible screeching sound, i had to force shutdown and when i boot up again it wouldnt post at all and the EZ Debug light kept cycling on DRAM, so i checked to see if somehow the ram got moved or something by a mysterious unknown entity, after a couple reseatings it turned out that my 16gigs of hyperX ram got killed in the chaos, i had 16 gigs left which are from teamforce which came with this thing when i got it since it was a prebuilt way back on 2017 i have been daily driving it with the extra kingston since january of this year but it suddenly died on me after said crash, so since i managed to get post after thst with the kingston removed i shrugged it off as a bad couple sticks. however when i tried to boot it up today it wouldnt post again and yet the error it gave was different by which i mean there were no beeps, no lights, ez debug completes its cycle, all fans spins, rgb lights up, the gpu starts spinning as it boots, but no post. terrified i took out me graphics card to plug into onboard graphics and prepare for the worst. it was bittersweet when there was still no post since i cant really get an equivalent graphics card on this market as it is. i tried down to one stick of.ram which still worked, only the boot drive (sn750), no post and no post and no post i can feel the nvme heating, all fans spins and the cpu block does get a bit warm if not hot i checked all connections and everything is plugged in correctly and fully, i took out the mobo battery and tossed it in again and resetted the cmos, the bios is up to date as far as i could tell as i said i even daily drove it for 4 years and now it just went kaboom, i had to call up.my work to let em know i cant do anything right now, i have zbrush class in two days and web programming tomorrow, its a whole mess and im in crisis best worse scenario in me head is that the psu failed and thats that second worse is it failed bringing down the cpu and mobo with it worst case even the good ol 1080ti with it and all i can do is weep not one person i know has a desktop either so.i cant double check any component im honestly at loss for words trying to figure out what imma do if i have to replace basically the entire thing if anyone knows something that i could just yet try i would be very happy to try it out also for my bad english i apologize since im from mexico -
Hi all, been a bit out of the pc parts loop for a while so would appreciate some knowledgeable MB recommendations. I'm upgrading my pc and moving to an i7 8700k from my 6700. I am wondering what a decent priced motherboard would be for the following components: GTX 1080 FE, I7 8700k, 32GB DDR4 RAM and a 1tb M.2 SSD 970 Evo. I would like to casually overclock the CPU to around 4.5ghz. Happy to buy second hand as I have done with all other parts, looking at around $110 USD. Cheers

Hey guys, I wanted to know your thoughts on either I should overlock my CPU. My main goal with this desktop is gaming, and having performance/FPS as stable possible. I don't usually play games that require a lot of resources, and the games I play I usually decrease the settings to increase the performance and keep the FPS stable, the reason is I play competitive online games, no single player. Here's my setup: i7 8700k ROG Maximus X Hero Strix 1080ti OC 16gb Ripjaws 2400hz CL 15 (I'm planning to upgrade this to the Trident Z's CL 3200mhz CL14) NZXT Kraken X62 Fractal R2 Design (3 Fans) I've never did an overclock, and honestly I don't feel the need to do it, but on the other hand I was wondering if it could increase the overall gaming performance. I appreciate your time. Cheers and stay safe!

So I'm trying to figure out what to stream Rainbow Six Siege with, my GPU or my CPU. I have a gtx windforce 970 and a i7 8700k 3.7 GHz. I'm not sure to use Nvenc New because I have a older card or stick with x264 because I have a decent CPU. I'm trying to stream 720p at 60FPS with 5000 kbs and I just want to make sure that I'm not lagging and that the stream isnt lagging. Look ahead is on and so is Psycho Tuning which do take up more gpu. I'd also like to run Rainbow Six on Vulkan for better performance and targeted fps but I can run the normal version. Thank you for helping in any way in advance ! 2020-04-27 20-26-39.txt

I'm planning to build a PC in 2018, and these two are currently the ones I'm looking at. People say that the 8th gen CPUs had one of the biggest leaps in performance from the 7th gens. For the past 4/5 years, I've been using a quite powerful laptop with an i7 3610QM (just to let you guys know). I also plan on using my upcoming build primarily for gaming, and secondarily for video editing. The GPU I plan on using (specifically) is the MSI GTX 1060 6gb Gaming X Currently these are my concerns/questions: Would spending a couple dozen more $$$ for i7 8700k be worth it? Or going with the i7 7700k still suffice? Will there be significant leaps in FPS or productivity speeds (I think it will have a noticeable difference due to the core and thread counts) In terms of future proofing, would the 8th gen cpu and z370 boards be backwards compatible with the 9th gen line ups? (I think it would depend on intel) Should I prioritize future proofing? would an i7 8700k be an overkill for the 1060? If you guys would recommend a Ryzen cpu (and motherboard), which would it be and why? Thanks in advance! -
When can I expect i5 8600k and i7 8700k in Indian market. And what would be the approximate price in India. Are there any pre-order websites in India that sell 8th gen Intel processors.

Hey guys looking for some input since I am new to pc gaming. So I currently have a Sony vaio laptop with a Amd Atlon II P340 dual core processor running at a blazing fast 2.2ghz. Ive been a console gamer by default just because my friends were. Now that we don't do that anymore I wanted to finally build my first gaming rig. I have looked at the Amd ryzen and was thinking about getting the r7 1700, but since Intel released the 8th gens I was very interested in getting the 8700k just supply is so low. Then I was looking at the 7800X because it also has 6 cores. Nothing against Amd but I pretty sure that I want intel. So with that said should I wait for the 8700k or go with the 7800x as my first gaming rig. Thanks guys appreciate the feedback

So right now I have a AMD FX-8350 with Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 connected to 2 840 Pro SSD in Raid 0 as my C drive, along with a 850 Pro as me D drive and a 1TB Hard drive for mass Storage packed in a Cooler Master Master Case Maker 5 (previously just a Master Case Pro 5) with a GIGABYTE GeForce 980Ti G1 Gaming OC Edition. got a Fractal Design Celsius S36 360mm Cooling that cold dead CPU. So I say I need some HOT coffee to really use that S36 cooler I just got. I have been looking at motherboard with the 1151 socket and I have see the Asus ROG MAXIMUS X HERO motherboard but being the Raid lover I am I noticed this board doesn't support Raid but the Asus ROG MAXIMUS IX did. The choice on Motherboard is very limited right now but I want something powerful and worthy of this next gen upgrade for me. I have already looked at other builds on PCPartPicker and a few other forms but non where to helpful. is it possible they will add Raid control in a update or I am going to have to wait for more Boards to come to the market?

I am looking to upgrade my cpu/motherboard within the next coming months and I can't decide between Ryzen 7 1700x and the new Coffee Lake i7 8700k. I will be mostly gaming at 1080p with a 144hz refresh rate monitor on a gtx 1060, but I plan on picking up my video editing again once my i5 is out of the picture (took hours to export small videos). I will also be programming heavily within the next 1-2 years on the computer along with some light Photoshop. I'm currently leaning towards Ryzen because of video editing and I wont take a large hit on gaming with Ryzen ( I plan to overclock with a fractal design Celsius s36). Also my price range is around 500 - 550 for both CPU and motherboard, as I have to get a new cooler and ram as well.

What's up guys, As the title suggests I need some advice! (Hope I'm in the right forum) Current Specs: CPU: i7 4790k 4.6ghz 1.3v ( I know, terrible chip) also delidded with coolaboratory liquid ultra. Cooler: NZXT Kraken x61 TIM here is also LM Mobo: MSI z97-g45 Gaming Ram: 16gb HyperX Savage 1866mhz PSU: Corsair RM750 GPU: 2X GTX 1080 Strix SSD: 250gb Samsung 850 evo HDD: 4TB Barracuda Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX TG Monitor: Asus ROG Swift PG348Q Planned Specs: CPU: i7 8700k (Will definitely delid) Cooler: EKWB Supremacy Evo (already have that) Mobo: Asus Strix z370-F (already have that) Ram: 16gb G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200mhz CL16 (already have that) PSU: Corsair RM1000i (already have that) GPU: 2X GTX 1080 Strix with EKWB Blocks (already have the blocks) SSD: 250gb Samsung 850 evo HDD: 4TB Barracuda Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX TG Rads: 360mm top // 280mm front Monitor: Asus ROG Swift PG348Q I neither want to use a monoblock or watercool the ram, just to be clear. Now on to my questions: 1. Would you guys use LM TIM between the Supremacy Evo and the IHS? I've done this with my 4790k and it worked great; load temps never exceeded 65°C 2. Do you think the 750W PSU was enough? I've read that the strix cards themselves have a 300W+ TDP. But I have yet to run into stability issues. 3. Are the two Strix Cards enough for Ultra settings in current titles, after all the monitor is 100hz and 1440p 21:9 is a lot of pixels. ( I don't know if I should uprade to 1080TI's or not) 4. Would you use LM TIM on the GPU Blocks? I have done one already, but I have yet to test its function. I don't want to fry the gpu after all. 5. I've seen alot of people do the shunt mod on their Pascal Cards, and I'm interested. My cards don't overclock too well (on air at least) and having the extra horsepower would surely come in handy. Any advice here? Maybe someone has already done this on a Strix card. (I don't necessarily wan't to use LM as I've read threads where the Shunt Resistors would fall off after some time due to the Gallium Corroding the solder) And lastly, what do you think of my build? Will love to hear your opinions and advice Greetings from Germany! Pascal

Hi there, Sorry if this is the wrong section, it's CPU/GPU question. I'm building a new computer (desktop) and am concerned about a problem that I have with my current laptop. I don't want it to reoccur on my new desktop. My current laptop's situation: https://superuser.com/a/710310 (screenshot below of my laptop's Nvidia Control Panel) I'm looking at the new Coffee Lake CPUs, i5 8600K and i7 8700K. Both have intergrated Intel GPUs. I'm concerned that the intergrated Intel GPU will interfere with the Nvidia GPU (and Nvidia Control Panel) on my new desktop, like it's doing on my laptop. Should I be concerned or is there no reason to, because of different software and drivers? The new desktop will be using Windows 10. I need the Nvidia settings for Nvidia surround. If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks in advance! -- Casey

Hello everyone! New to the forum, loving it so far. I've been researching a new build that I plan to use for audio production and light gaming from time to time. I came up with the list below. I do plan to overclock when necessary. CPU: Core i7-8700K - paired with a be quiet! Dark Rock 4 MB: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro RAM: 16GBx2 Corsair Vengeance LPX GPU: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GT1030 AERO ITX 2G OC SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500 GB for main, 1TB Sandisk Plus for plugins, sample libraries etc. PSU: Corsair TX750-M 80+ Gold Case: Fractal Designs Meshify C Case Fans: 1x Noctua NF-F12 PWM For back exhaust, 1x NF-P14s redux 1500PWM for top back exhaust, 2x NF-P14s redux 1500PWM for two front intakes. Will also be instering an RME HDSPe AIO Audio Interface to one of the PCI-e x1 slots and there will be some devices that pull power from USB, therefore PSU headroom is really high. What do you guys think? Do you have any suggestions, considerations for me, anything stupid with this build that I can do better? -
I got a an i5 800 and want to upgrade to a i7 8700k but I see there is a v1 and v2 version which should I buy I currently have a msi gaming plus z370 motherboard -
Hey, I have my i7 8700k for almost a year and now, running 4.7 GHz on 1.37v. Lately (especially now in Summer) the CPU gets really hot and loud which is really annoying with Open-Back Headphones. It revs up to 95c already by only Alt-Tabbing and or opening programs. Even in idle the CPU sits on over 40c [with 18c room temps (and if I have all fans on full speed the cpu is on ~36c)]. I have a Fractal Design Meshify C with 2 intake top, 2 Intake front (pwm) and 1 exhaust. The Cpu Cooler is a Dark Rock Pro 3. I had reapplied the thermal paste already, tried different fan setups and lowering the voltage(gets even hotter for some reason or just crashes when stress testing). 1. Does it help with stability of overclocks? 2. Do I need to re-apply it 6-monthly/yearly? (read many different opinions/experiences on that) 3. Might it be just an unlucky CPU to begin with? I'm asking these questions because of the hassle it would be to get to the CPU and replace the tim including the waiting time :3 One more thing. It wasn't that bad always actually. Last Summer I did indeed not have these problems. Any help/experience is appreciated! Note: So I tried some things by watching the der8auer oc guides with the exact same parts. I changed the voltage to 1.3v, Long Duration and Short Duration Package Power Limit to 4095, CPU Core/Cache Current Limit Max at 255.75, disabled BLCK Aware Adaptive voltage and changed LLC to Level 6. With that I did Cinebench R20 = 3478(300 points higher than every run before); Prime 95 Blender and Large stayed at ~70c but small instantly thermal throttled the CPU. In AC Origins I finally was able to play the game with only 70c, it always is on 100% Cpu Usage for some reason but finally it didnt rev up the PC.

hello recently i upgraded mu cpu and bought a cpu cooler , i have an i7 8700k (non delided ) and using a cryorig h5 universal while gaming my temps reach 66 c is that ok ???? , because i don't know if i did a good job with the thermal paste and installing the cooler . and my case has good air flow "cooler master h500" , and my cpu is not over clocked edit : it reached a max of 72 c

Not sure if to get those Arctic P12 PWM Pst Or those Arctic F12 PWM Pst Using corsair obsidian 500d case Case With be quiet dark rock 3 air cooler https://www.quietpc.com/bq-bk018 (Planning to buy a value pack which is 5 fans pack) (Thinking that the p12 will be better for me because the way my case is built and that it will focus the air to my cpu cooler and gpu) (Main difference in the pic)

Hello friends. ive got some time to spare, as my system is reset, so im having some time to get some informations, before i can work with my "fresh" build, and play around in the bios. i wanna check out what my delidded 8700k is cappable of, in terms of how low i can go in terms of vcore, as my system will be transferred from ATX to mITX, and for that, i wanna have the lowest heat production as possible. I have some knowledge in clocking or say i know some stuff i can do in bios with my cpu. Thing is, im not too sure where i should start, and in which steps i should lower voltage, for this exact CPU. could anyone help me, or write a little guide on what to turn off, turn on, and then on which voltage i should start/which steps to go lower from there? Cpu is a i7-8700k with a good delid. with fans running full speed, im not getting temps higher than 65C under 100% work. Heatsink is the Dark Rock 3 from bequiet!. I would be happy to share some time with you and talk about this, as my reset is on 8% for the last 30 mins... xD. ill sit here and wait. hours it seems. still 8%. oh please got dont tell me it bricked

Will a 420mm Thick Radiator Cool This?
Skilled Loaf posted a topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Will a thick 420mm radiator cool an i7-8700k at stock speeds and dual gtx 1070. When I say thick radiator I mean a radiator thicker than Thanos. Here is the radiator if you must know -https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAEAP5YM4072&ignorebbr=1&source=region&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-Alphacool-_-DIY+Cooling-_-9SIAEAP5YM4072&gclid=Cj0KCQjwt_nmBRD0ARIsAJYs6o1vfjSe5HzfVd3U7LuIfCJ5ciHYOSDQVD7ni46LpdfDPyT7E9dst5caAjZ3EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds -
Hello guys, Im really stuck and I do not know what to do. Those are the components i7 8700k Cooler Master 240mm Watercooler RGB Gigabyte Aorus Gaming wifi Ultra 16gb DDR4 RAM corsair RGB 3200Mhz AMD Vega 56 Sapphire 750W 80+ Rosewill PSU 256gb ssd 3TB hdd I don’t remember the name of the case (I don’t think that’s important anyway) So when I connect the power supply to the wall and turn it on, the board lights up. But when I press the power button or try to turn it on with a screwdriver I only get the lights on the RAMs. no fan spinning, no other lights anywhere. I don’t even get a bip in the speaker. Nothing. I tried to reset the bios, press the reset button, verifying every single cable, check if the board touches the case but no results. for instance I started to think that the processor was the problem so I went and buy a new one at best buy (i7 8700) but it acts the same way. at this point, I really don’t know what to do. Long pressing the power button will turn off the lights on the RAMs.

TLDR; which build for streaming and video editing? 1080p or 1440p Ultra 144Hz, but might go 240Hz. No dips below 60 FPS. $1200 used - i7 8700K, Asus Turbo RTX 2080 (single fan blower style), 1TB SSD SATA, Geil 16GB 2400MHz RAM, no brand (cyberpower?) 800w 80+ Gold PSU, MSI Z370 A-Pro mobo OR what new self build up to $1500? Better CPU, RAM with cheaper GPU? AMD? __________________________ Which for streaming and video editing? (Twitch/YT) So it needs to handle running recording software (OBS, El Gato) or running multiple background apps while streaming and still getting decent frames gaming (not below 60 FPS). Will only game at 1080p or maybe 1440p 144Hz, on high-ultra settings. May get a 240Hz monitor tho. I can get a legit good deal on a 2 month old pre built for only $1200 i7 8700k, Asus Turbo RTX 2080 (single fan blower style), 1TB SSD (SATA), Geil 16GB 2400MHz RAM, off brand (cyberpower?) 800w 80+ Gold PSU, MSI Z370 A-Pro mobo Good deal for the 2080, I know, but is that set up (8700k, 2400 MHz RAM) good enough for streaming/editing? Or am I better off with a better CPU, RAM and cheaper GPU? I think a 2060 would still get enough frames? Was thinking i9 9900k and RTX 2060, but that would end up at least $1600 and still likely need to put more into cooling the i9. I've never used AMD before or know much about their parts, but I am open to using them. Ryzen 2700x or Threadripper? Don't know much about their GPUs price to performance vs Nvidia cards. I'm leaning toward the used build then resell it or upgrade parts later when Ryzen releases Navi, 3000 series CPUs, etc., if they are as good and cheap as they are hyped up to be. Guess my budget is around $1500, but saving would be nice. Mainly care about stream quality, and bearable framerates, and can deal with bit slower workflow of editing process. I'm in the US. Don't care about looks (RGB, matching colors, etc). Mainly play R6 Siege and ARMA 3, but will get into most trending titles soon. Editing software still not sure between Vegas or Premiere. I do know how to build my own PC, but not too knowledgeable on all these new parts, specs, benchmarks, etc. so just looking for build suggestions

Hello, As I built my first pc I as well overclocked for the first time, I'm pretty proud about my results but of course I'm always open for suggestions from who knows better than me. Specs: -I7 8700K delidded -MSI Z370 Gaming pro Carbon -2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz CL15 (15-17-17-35 2T) -RTX 2080 Asus Dual OC (1800Mhz core & 7000Mhz Memory) -Schythe Fuma Rev. b -Bitfenix whisper M 650w -Silverstone RL 06 GP CPU temperatures are after Realbench Stress test Case, CPU fans are all running at about 60/70%. I could increase fan speed and get lower temps but I don't need it. CPU: 5.1 Ghz at 1.4V (adaptive). No AVX offset. (Sometimes Vcore goes to 1.408V) Temp: CPU: 72C max 77C / MOS: 60C I had to increase core ICCMax to 217A to don't throttle from current limit. I had to play a little bit in BIOS with Vcore and LCC to get a stable 1.4V when stress testing. Vcore: 1.395, LCC: mode 5 GPU temperatures are after running unigine heaven Benchmark Ultra at 4K. Fans are at ~ 62% GPU: Core: 2040/2055Mhz (+145) / Memory: 7750Mhz (+750) Temp: 66C max 67 This one is the easiest, first thing of course I turned Power draw to the max (120%), Vcore offset (%) is at 0 Memory: 3200Mhz at 1.392V SA: 1.168V / IO: 1.152V Timings: 14-17-17-32 / CT: 1T / Trfc: 500T I'm really proud of this OC since I was reading that is probably the hardest (I din't touch secondiary and tertiary timings though). Although considering I paid 115€ for the sticks and similarry performing sticks are around 195€ I think I did a good job. Should I OC the cache next? XD Currently at 4.4Ghz Thanks to everybody who helped me in the process of choosing the right parts and Overclocking. UPDATE: -Trfc: 400 -Trefi: 50000 Cache: 4.8Ghz (from 4.4), same CPU temps, MOS is at 72C. I had to dial down GPU core to 2040Mhz instead of 2055 since it wasn't fully stable. Thanks for the tips -
Hello, I'm building my first pc and I bought a RTX 2080 and a I7 8700k (delid) that I will overclock. I'm so undecided on which 144Hz monitor to buy. 27 in 1440p vs 24 in 1080p. My question is: will I be able to hit 144fps plus on most games at 1440p to consider spending the extra money on a 1440p monitor? I mainly play fps games, lately a lot of Apex Legends and I always go back to Csgo and Pubg. I value fps more than graphics of course.

Hey guys, we're hopelessly stuck on trying to fix my buddies build. here are the hardware components: Motherboard: Asus RoG Strix z390-h Gaming CPU: Intel i7 8700k GPU: RoG Strix AMD Radeon Rx Vega 64 The issue: When trying to boot the system with the GPU we get stuck at a white LED on the motherboard indicating a problem with the GPU. When we take the GPU out the system boots normally with no problems. Now to try and troubleshoot this problem we have switched out the power supply. We tried switching the GPU out to an RX vega 56. And we tried the configuration out with an EVGA z370 ftw with no success what so ever. Both GPUs work in my build. (Ryzen 5 2600x, Asus prime x470) This has to lead me to believe that maybe it's just a compatibility issue with the CPU Motherboard and GPU in general. Although we did research compatibility to the best of our ability we are not really experts in custom pc building. Any help would be very appreciated.

I am going to build a new pc with the new GTX 1660ti and I was wondering, is it best to get a i7 8700k or Ryzen 5 2600? Is the price you overpay for a i7 worth it? Or should I get something else? Thank you!

I've made a few posts about this problem I've been having, and only now have I had any real progress in figuring in out, though not in the way I expected. Basically to sum up what already happened, I started getting frame drops in a lot of games ever since I installed new hardware not long ago. I tried a bunch of stuff that never ended up fixing anything. Eventually I brought it over to a friend's house where it seemed like we fixed it (the monitor refresh rate was set too low), but it came back pretty soon when I brought it back home. I brought it back to his house later on, though, and without changing anything it was working fine. I'm no expert but it seems like there's a couple factors to this: I'm using a pretty old PSU with a lot of newer hardware There's a ton more power consumption happening in the room my setup is in relative to the other house I was at I'm in the market for a new power supply anyway, but I wanted to see if anyone more experienced knows if it has more to do with that or the power outlets I'm using. They don't seem to have any problems otherwise, so I'm hoping they aren't to blame considering how much more complicated that would potentially be.
