Would probably be worth doing that clean install anyway, just in case - in case there any other funky unknown-about stuff going on
And given its new and you probably don't have 5 thousand things installed on it yet, it should be fairly simple to sort out now anyway
The CPU was one of the things I actually considered the most - since the game I play is very CPU clock speed dependent (it does use the GPU but its mostly dependent on the CPU speed and always has been) and out of those CPUs mentioned and the i7 I chose these are the turbo/boost speeds...
Well, lets put it like this, for the last year I've been running it on a 650W supply lol and it hasn't had any issues so I would think 850W should be plenty :)
Hehe, I've already put it off for long enough since my original plans for July last year, not waiting any longer, and its my birthday...
I've decided I'm happy with the AIO being front mounted :)
And yes I was considering the H115i, but for the Z690 board only the RGB 6000 RAM can be used (PCS apparently found some issues with the smaller non-RGB 6000 RAM and the Z690) so I think it'd be front mounted anyway, so I thought I'd...
So, this is my thoughts for my new machine that I've been wanting to get for a bit
Case
CORSAIR iCUE 4000X RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Case
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i7 16-Core Processor i7-13700K (3.4GHz) 36MB Cache
Motherboard
ASUS® ROG STRIX Z690-F GAMING WIFI (LGA1700, USB 3.2, PCIe...
@Empxthy if you could try to keep all your questions/comments about your spec in one thread please, makes it easier for people to see whats going on and what questions have already been asked and answered
Have you used one of those driver update tools rather than either Geforce Experience/the NVidia site and Windows Update to update your drivers?
I'm asking this because someone on the discord channel has had a very similar issue and was using one of the driver update tools - which are a very...
There are still many using Win10 (including myself), I would expect games to still run perfectly fine on Win10, it's likely something else causing your issues.
Maybe because your machine has quite old components and is struggling to run because of them, it could however be a number of different...
Have you just received it?
If so I'm wondering if the graphics card may have become dislodged in transit, or maybe when you were removing the foam packing inside the PC (not all have it but I believe most get the added packing) - either of those two can happen, and it is fairly simple to reseat...
Firstly if you have a graphics card in your machine did you plug the HDMI cable from your monitor into the graphics card ports or the motherboard ports - it wont work if you use the motherboard ports, you need to use the graphics card ports
If you dont know whether you have a graphics card or...
You will have to see if there are any SATA data and power cables in the machine already and if not you will need some - if it was a PCS machine all spare cables would've been provided anyway - those cables you showed are not the ones you need for it
As said since its not a PCSpecialist machine...
As long as you dont damage anything in the process you can swap stuff around - with the exception of the case and/or motherboard
RAM can be very finicky now-a-days, so it can be that unless its the exact same model it may not play well (ie not boot), unless yorue really really really lucky...
