    Anandtech calls it quits

    I was forum user for a long time. Good tech there but it changed over time and I couldn't stay interested in what was left. Was never much interested in the site as whole other than some of what Anand himself authored.

    5800X3D High Temps (91C) Using 360mm AIO

    My first thought was that the plastic protective sticker is still on the waterblock.

    7900xtx with weird artifacts

    My 2 cents, don't use a power supply that daisy chains the connectors. Get one that has a single connector at each end of the cable. What is the make, model and rating of your power supply? Also... I don't see the xfx anti-sag bracket in the picture. Is it installed?

    Psu in Bad shape:(

    The 660ti and 760 have a TDP of about 150-170, that is draw from the PSU, figure in another 30 watts to make that power, that becomes 200 watts max. Take away the power draw for you monitor as it on another UPS, and the high range guesstimate is pushing about 450 watts maximum. That seemed...

    Psu in Bad shape:(

    Taking a guess at what what power draw you will put on the UPS, and using the APC tool I came up with a 700VA for 8 minutes and a 1000VA for 14 minutes. That's using a 300w power draw, I'm guessing your pc plus monitor will draw 200-300w so i used 300w for the draw in the APC tool. I don't see...

    Psu in Bad shape:(

    Be sure to check the watts that the UPS can supply, it typically is much less than the VA rating. Remember to figure in the power supply efficiency when you compute the load on the UPS.

    Over and under voltage. Neutral and ground issues.

    System "Soft Freezing" Help Needed!

    I have similar MB (P7P55DPro) and memory (corsair xms3). I had random freezes mostly in game but also when not gaming until I used the BIOS overclocking tool. Since then, no problems. I picked the medium OC, and it changed the ram timing as well as bumping the 860 to 3.2ghz. Before the OC, the...

    Enough Power for video card?

    I don't want this to sound insulting.... Do the two video cards use different inputs on your monitor (svga vs dvi?) and if so is your monitor checking the input used by the 260? Are you using a video cable adaptor on the non-working system?

    Strange chirping noise

    Get a tube, like from a roll of paper towels, or an extension tube for the vacuum cleaner. Put one end to your ear and move the other end to the various components until you find the sound.

    Need new PSU suggestions.

    Heh, where's the fun in that? :) I just got a Corsair 400watt for an older system I have and the cables that came on it are long. My case is older and the PS sits right above the MB and the connectors so I have to stuff the extra cable out of the way. The 4 pin and pci-e cables are long as...
