Hello, I bought used gigabyte RTX 3070 OC, everything worked fine, latest drivers, all usual stuff. I installed MSI afterburner and did undervolt that should work on every card (video: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV0C3zDJETY&list=LL&index=1 ). Everything worked fine after undervolt, I played games for a few hours, maximum temperature was 63 celsius. I turned off PC to go out and when I came back the PC won't turn on again (black screen, no display, I can hear desktop sound, tried DP and HDMI cables). I tried putting my brothers GPU (RX 6700 XT) in my PC and it worked fine, a ..read more

Hello everyone! My custom built used to work great up until about 3-4 months ago. Since then, the FPS dropped massively and games, such as CS2 or Fromsoft games, went from 200 for CS2 and 144 for FS, to 90-ish and 60 FPS, respectively. I haven't done any massive changes and it seemingly came out of the blue. The PC is very well maintained and cleaned, with regular thermal paste changes and deep clean at least once a month. Here is a link to a Benchmark I did today, with my results, especially for the GPU being very well under the average for this piece of hardware. PassMark Software - Displ ..read more

Hi there, just bought a 2nd hand Sapphire RX 580 nitro+ 8GB but: Boot time has been increased. Can't see ASUS TUF logo, which means can't reach BIOS page (mobo: ASUS TUF B560 PLUS-WIFI | cpu: i5 11400). Motherboard LED indicating "vga" stays on "white" consistently. but i eventually get to windows (with delay ofc) and everything works, but i feel some stutters sometimes. I've tested both pcie slots, cleaned the golden pins of pcie connector, changed the pcie speed to 3.0, changed the cables sockets of PSU side, no difference; but when i connect cable to motherboard display port, everything wor ..read more

Hello i have a terrible problem about my fps. I noticed my pc is really underperforming in games since i bought it and couldnt figure it out why. All my temps are okay my gpu is max 65 degrees celcius under load, cpu about the same. But when i try to play games like CS2, Valorant etc. i get around 50-150 fps on lowest settings and it stutters like crazy sometimes. My drivers are upto date. PC Specs: RTX 3060 12 GB I5 10400F 16 GB RAM 2666MHZ SINGLE CHANNEL 1 TB SSD I would really appreciate some advices on this problem. Thank you ..read more

Hello, I've had my 3080 (MSI 10G) for 3 years and a half now. It has been working well up until a few months ago, when the graphic pilot would sometimes reset (my 2 screens turning black, then back on again, but without the "Night light" filter, or with), especially when alt-tabbing from one screen to the other, or when exiting a game for example. Sometimes, I would even get squared artifacts on the screen. Now, the problem has worsened, because on multiple games, my computer can freeze when exiting said game. I sometimes get the control back after 10 or so seconds, but sometimes it forces m ..read more

Hello, I'm thinking about using liquid metal on my 3060 Ti (Founders Edition). I tried replacing the thermal paste (I somehow made it worse than before). I replaced the thermal paste with Arctic MX-6, at first the temps were little better but now it's even worse than before. Temps are not the main problem but part of it. I want to make it quiet. Right now it's running at 65-66°C at 65% fan speed. It's also undervolted, It's running at 900mV, the power consumption is around 160-170w. In some games it gets to 180w. Will the liquid metal help in this situation ..read more
