    How to prevent vram heatsinks from falling?

    Thank you guys very much. Guess I'll buy a roll and see how it goes. So I should maybe wipe the gpu with alcohol, right? Some of the padding on the backside doesn't feel like it is going to hold up. Already had the heatsinks fall off once with the 2mm pads, lol. Is it ok to put thermal tape...

    How to prevent vram heatsinks from falling?

    I tried but I am getting no stickiness. It seems like things were stickier with the 2mm geglid pads(still wouldn't trust it with a vertical gpu.) I threw those out because the temps jumped all the way up whenever a game was clicked on. Right now all the heatsinks are on the backside and I am...

    How to prevent vram heatsinks from falling?

    Yea, I realized that after I threw them out, lol. I remember doing this a few years ago and the heatsinks/pads were a lot stickier. I didn't use the tape and the heatsinks/pads were on fine upside down. Is there a good brand of thermal tape that I could purchase? Thanks

    How to prevent vram heatsinks from falling?

    Hey guys, I decided to put an aio cooler on my gpu. Thing is the the thermal pads aren't sticky and the heatsinks keep falling off. I tried to put the heatsinks on the backside but the vrm went up to a 107 degrees before the pc shut down. Is tbere anything I can do about this? I have these sinks...

    CL16 or CL 18?

    1. I didn't try 3800. I just played it safe and went with 3600, lol. I will try 3800 soon. 2. I tried XMP on his system and wasn't able to boot. This is with a Gigabyte B660 Auros Master DDR4. The RAM is at 18-22-22-42 DDR4-3800 with 1.35V right now, memory ref clock auto, gear mode 1, CMD...

    CL16 or CL 18?

    ok, thank you I just set the timings to 18-20-20-20-40 @ 1.38V and everything booted up fine. I turned on CPUZ and it shows 18-20-20-38 will that be an issue? thanks

    CL16 or CL 18?

    I did do some research, but I'm going to look for a comprehensive guide this weekend. Yeah, they def can't be random settings. I picked those numbers because I've seen them on RAM running at 3600/3800 (Ex. 18-22-22-22-42 @ 3800 1.45V). So I'm not sure if I can use 38 or 42 for 18-20-20-20 @...

    CL16 or CL 18?

    A few questions: should I set a higher value towards the end? like 38? So for instance, 18-20-20-20-38 @ 1.38V Or would it work better setting it at 42? also, can I buy another set of the Hynix DJR 8gbx2 kit and have no issues running 32GB on an Intel setup? Thanks. Really appreciate the help.

    CL16 or CL 18?

    ok, thanks. I do have a lot of cooling, but for some reason it went back down to stock settings after trying 18-22-22-22-42 1.4V and 1.45V (1900 IF, 1T, Geardown Mode enabled). Is it unstable? I feel like I am having a harder time getting to 3800 after putting in both kits. I tried both kits...

    best bracket for 3080ti?

    Hi, I'd like to purchase an AIO bracket for the 3080ti. Seems like there are issues with the G12 and the 3080. Will this be a problem for the 3080ti? Are there other brackets that work better with the 3080ti? thanks

    CL16 or CL 18?

    What is better for games? Cl 16-18-18-18-38 or 18-22-22-22-42? I think I am going to keep it at 3200. It seems more stable. Also, do you know what the CHA/CHB thing is? It shows 16-16-16-39 and I'm curious if I can run the RAM with those timings at 3600 1.35V thanks

    Hi, I have 4x8GB setup for my RAM. This is with the 5800x/Auros B550 Elite. I did the regular OC and it's at 16-18-18-18-38 @ 3200. I did another OC and it was working at 18-22-22-22-42 @ 3800. 1.4 Volts for both. Should I go with the CL 16 Timings? Not sure if more heat is being produced with...

    What is a good pagefile size for 32 gb RAM?

    yea, I know. I have some SSDs but I needed to use the 640gb because they stopped working And for some reason I am having bad luck with SSDs. I bought one years ago that works fine. I bought a 240gb SSD after that one that has my OS and is giving me that Automatic Start Up Error. My 3rd SSD with...

    should i upgrade my cpu to match my 6800xt?

    Upgrade it. I went from 4790k to 3600x to 5600x and there was a big difference in BF2042. So, yea I guess it depends on the games

    Can evga 1000gq handle a 3080?

    Yup, looking like it. I was going to go with 850w but read a few posts and decided against it. Better to play it safe and have the watts when needed, lol

    Evga 1000GQ PSU

    I made a thread about the 1000gq, lol Pc wouldn't start with the 3080ti. Turned on with a newer evga 750w. So yeah, don't think it can handle some of the newer/bigger cards. I'm buying a rmx1000 to replace it

    Can evga 1000gq handle a 3080?

    Yeah, can't wait. And it has to be from Microcenter Is 850watts enough for future gpus? I don't mind getting 850 as long as I don't have to upgrade for 2 to 3 years Thanks

    Can evga 1000gq handle a 3080?

    I got this psu in 2014. Had no issues with it. I bought a 3080ti and the pc would not turn on (psu fan would spin for a few seconds). I tried a newer 750w evga psu and everything turned on. Is there something wrong with the psu? Or is it outdated and can't handle some of the newer cards coming...

    Strange issue with pc

    Yea, didn't replace the gpu. The thing is I tried dual link ports from both ports and it did not work. Can a bad ssd prevent the monitor and ssd from working properly? (I did swap the ssds)

    is there a way to get to ddr4 4600 with my setup?

    ok, so it seems like there is no need to go over DDR4 - 3800 with Ryzen? I was hoping to get more performance by going over 4000, but I guess that won't happen. I don't understand why mobo makers put these all specs on their website. What's the point of stating that it supports 4600 if there's...
