    7900xtx with weird artifacts

    Fingers crossed, running the game kinda gimped atm with all sort of workarounds but yeah that's unrelated. Did a few tests, overclocked, underclocked, voltage up, voltage down in CP2077, and monitored my temp, here are the pics, the game ran fine, fully maxed settings and the pic was while in...

    7900xtx with weird artifacts

    I did not consider that when picking the PSU, this one was the best choice out of the bunch back then that was available sigh it only has 4 PCIe/cpu slots and one 12-pin. Even if I get 3rd cable all 4 are already used, I can disconnect 1 CPU to test but still not ideal to run like that, and yeah...

    7900xtx with weird artifacts

    7900xtx with weird artifacts

    Here's a rundown of everything I've tried before and recently, in no particular order. If anyone has any idea what else to try let me know. I plan to keep trying new games until I find enough where it happens consistently and then I can send it back because all the stress and benchmarks are...

    Should I get this monitor?

    Really couldn't find anything else, been searching for weeks. I'm picking it up in the morning, if it's too much I'll return in and just wait some more or save almost double the money for asus rog or pb one.

    Should I get this monitor?

    I need some help with picking the monitor. My requirements are ips, 1440p, 27". Can't get rog swift pb asus because they are either unavailable or too expensive here. Thought about Korean one but the wait time, pretty much no warranty, no scaler etc just doesn't cut it for me right now. So...

    Which monitor should I get?

    So I should get some good IPS 27" 1440p panel (that hopefully has scaler and use it for all my needs until I can get a good and cheaper 120/144hz secondary screen which I'll use mostly for my PC games, or when I do enough research about Korean monitors order one just for PC while I keep other...

    Which monitor should I get?

    Read up on and now I understand TN vs IPS which just makes it harder to chose. Picking one means sacrificing the other. It boils down to slower IPS with better colors, maybe 27" one with 1440p resolution versus faster 120/144hz monitor. Frame rate I'm not sure, I have a single 7970 at the moment...

    Which monitor should I get?

    I've spent whole night reading up on this and not any closer to figuring it out so I'm gonna write down what my use is and maybe someone can help me out. I have old(2008) benq monitor that has served me well but I was always annoyed how washed out colors looked, now I'll just use it as...

    7970 running hot?

    I do not, going to open my case again, connect different fans, see where they go and what I can do. I'm gonna turn them on now and see how it goes. They were making weird noises last time even after cleaning and oiling so I might replace them. Problem about left one is I think it will blow...

    7970 running hot?

    Well I just did OCCT test for half an hour and temperature was 90-95 degrees Celsius.. If that's not bad I don't know what is. Also during CPU test my i5 3570k was under heavy load at ~70 temp, OCed from 3.4 to 3.8, is that a lot?

    Here's pic of my case inside and from area where it's at. I know cables are mess but they're out of the way and ones inside I never look at and ones on outside I've been moving a lot so haven't gotten around to tidying up. Fan on heatsink blowing toward exhaust one on the back, ones on top...

    7970 running hot?

    Nice about ek wb, I'm planning on getting another 7970 down the road so maybe I'll get that too but right now I need to make sure this is all ok. My CPU even with big heatsink and cooler was at like 60-70 at load (same time during game) so I don't know if that's a lot too. (i5 3750k). My core...

    I installed fresh windows 7 on new Samsung 840 pro SSD and it was running awesome, even after setting everything up boot time was veeery fast.. until I installed drivers for my Xonar DG card, boot takes over a minute, when I remove drivers it goes back to fast boot. What I've tried is running...

    Final thoughts about the build

    Sorry missed that, I won't be overclocking right away but down the road when I need more performance for games I will. This PC is OCed from 2.6 to 3.2, had it on 3.6 for a while but it was heating up more then I was comfortable with and not getting much performance boost at that time. Gonna try...

    ^ unfortunatelly I'm "go max or go home" kind of guy. Well I'm satisfied with "very high" instead of ultra but not much below that. One good thing is I'm playing games less and less so maybe eventually I won't even need to upgrade haha Ok here's what I'm getting and here's what I have with...

    Final thoughts about the build

    I want to upgrade now because lately I feel my graphics card have been dying, fan started making noises, getting artifacts in games and causing PC to freeze so there's that. Also thought about getting 240gb but it's a bit over my budget, I'll think about it if I can get it in somehow.

    Ok so this is when artifacts started appearing: (fan is at 100% despite that 40, I control it myself) I removed side covers of case and they went away after a while, few came back but if I played for few more hours I'm afraid it would freeze. Haven't spent that much time playing today so...

    Q9450 overclocking, advice for newbie

    Hi guys, had this PC for 2 years and now I want to overclock it a bit. I wasn't thinking anything crazy, maybe 3.2 or bit more that won't be too dangerous. I've been running prime 95for 30 minutes and my temp(stock) is 60-65c. Is that too high? I got heatsink and aftermarket cooler...
