Happy birthday!! oh a change of decade!!!

Love the pics, thanks Maz!

Happy Birthday and have a great day

Nycz you have infared temp gun to check hot spots while gaming. eg the case top heat (open case or closed ?) other use temp monitor software and what is the room ambiant temp.

Happy Birthday.

that only if have the hardware that supports X-Sync

did you use a GPU drive cleaner befor install new card Note: back-up your data on the OS drive before using. Win 11 24H2 have installed KB5058499 I'm with Trotty on power connections check them very good for seen melted molex connectors from poor contact of connection end making heat when under load. First of all, you should make sure that your PSU can power the new GPU. When buying the adapter, you should always buy a good quality one. The good quality ones usually have 18 AWG, UL 1007 insulated wires. You can recognize them by the markings on the wires itself. Avoid adapters with blank wires since they are very cheaply made with very thin wires that are not capable of transferring so much current and they can easily melt. Good quality adapters are rated for max 120 W and this rating should not be exceeded. You could probably go a little bit over but at your own risk. If the cables are getting hot (so hot that you can not hold the wires with your fingers and you start to smell burning plastic) during the full load you should replace your PSU. If the wires are getting warm only, that should be fine since insulation is rated for 80 degrees Celsius. Do not bundle adapter cables, instead try to spread them away from each other for improved cooling, and in case of melting and failure of one or more cables, they would not touch and cause a short circuit. Also MOLEX end of the adapter should be inserted correctly in the female end. MOLEX ends should slide easily, which means that all MOLEX pins are inserted into collars correctly. If they are not aligned correctly with collars, they can be pushed back from their mounts making bad contact. After connecting MOLEX always push in individual wires to make sure that they are inserted all the way in. And that should be it, note if can pull wire out of its place means the lock isn't working and needs to be re-arched to make connection with lock. As you see the melted pins were not fully incerted. good practice to push all connectors (metal) after mating the plug for the cheap vendors build crap wires. Note: with no power to PSU

No somthink els. But it works now thanks

Hi Idiots, A couple people asked me to post pics of my parrot JP, I've had him for 39 years now , Everytime I play he gets very vocal and can be heard when I key my mic . Yes that's a very hot pepper he's eating and he's taking a bath in his water bowl. His breed is a Double yellow head amazon . When I got him at 5 weeks old he was just a ball of skin and pin feathers and I could not think of a good name for him so I call him JP which stands for Just Parrot or on his grumpy days Just prick .

Happy birthday

Happy Birthday

XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. T-man (60)

G-sync/FreeSync enabled, correct? That ‘should’ lock your monitors refresh rate to your fps. You could also try to enable vertical sync in your graphics card app, or “sync every frame” in CoD4…although that may cause other issues…generally advised not to turn those 2 on…

says frame rate but just shows refreshrate

That is definitely weird...sounds like something external at that point...or you're very unlucky... /cg_drawfps 1 shows 200fps while playing in-game and you've capped the framerate using /com_maxfps 180? or does your monitor have a framerate counter overlay?

i did and the rtx 4070 msi card started going bad and got the rx 7700xt to replace it. side issue. When i try to cap the fps in config it always caps higher than what i put and that varies on what i try to cap to. If i cap at 180 to match refreshrate it goes to near 200. this is setting value in config file.

you didn't mention hard drive...just forgot?

How about everything all at once? lol

everything. ram, psu, gpu, cpu,mobo,cables, mouse, monitor. only thing left is my brain and heart

Damn, I'm running out of ideas...I assume that you reset your bios to default, and you still had the issue

mi am using the bottom 2 of 3 slots away from cpu

Hmmmm...some mobos that have a ssd slot near the CPU(that if used) will reduce the Primary graphics slot from a x16 to a x8 slot....this was primarily on the (x)690 chipset...at least with intel...not sure about AMD. Kind of obscure, but that may be your issue?

Yip and probably both
