    Pre-emptive Upgrade?

    Hi all, Haven't used my PC for gaming for a while, but I'm thinking of getting back into it. I know that the new NVidia cards might as well not exist right now, so I'm investigating the possibility of upgrading the CPU/MB/RAM for now with a view to picking up a GPU to replace my GTX1080 some...

    Is my PSU toast?

    I do not, but now you mention it, I do seem to recall there being some software for the MB that showed the voltages it was receiving. Unless that was a different MB from way back. I'll have to have a look. Obviously, that will only work for the rails supplying the MB, but I guess it could...

    Is my PSU toast?

    That's the one thing I know it's not. Even with the GPU removed, it just periodically spontaneously reboots - sometimes even getting into a loop. Maybe it's not a problem with the amount of current, but jitter of some sort?

    Is my PSU toast?

    Not yet. I'm probably going to budget in a new PSU at some point soon. There's no smells or evidence of burning, but given the way it was defaulting to the onboard GPU at times and was still sometimes just dropping out even with the Nvidia removed, it seems the most likely option to me. Also...

    Is my PSU toast?

    Well, initially I thought it was failing to start because I wasn't seeing anything, but I was getting the startup beep and it was obviously powered up, so I switched the DVI cable to the motherboard and got a picture. Okay, so the latest is that I removed the 1080, and was in the middle of...

    Is my PSU toast?

    Nothing has been moved or changed. I have tried reseating the GPU and also moving its power to a different output from the PSU (it's a modular one). It's all fairly old kit at this point. Specs are: i7-4770k running at stock with stock cooler Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Motherboard 24GB DDR3 Ram EVGA...

    Is my PSU toast?

    Hey folks, Looking for a little advice. A few weeks ago, my PC started using the integrated graphics instead of my 1080 when it powers up. Pretty much randomly - sometimes it would use the 1080 fine. I wasn't sure if it was the GPU at fault or something else, but now it is frequently...

    Thanks all - I think I get it now. Just the matter of budgeting it in left!

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    Been thinking of picking up the Pro AP. The whole PoE thing makes me nervous, as I've never dealt with it before. I've seen some very confusing articles which say it uses the unused pairs in cat5e...but gigbit uses them all. Also saying you MUST use cat6. And that some older devices might...

    VR is what I need it for. Waiting for my Vive and my r290x died. Expensive month.

    I'm pushing my luck with the missus as it is. No way I could go the extra for a hybrid!

    I'm not an expert. I think I'm just going to get the superclocked jobbie with the backplate, personally.

    It's over. Nothing consumer-level announced.

    What are they odds of them announcing anything during the rest of the conf? Should I just order my 980ti now?
