Re: bug check reboots
Thanks for the help and suggestions. The system is up and running. Had to drill into the case to put in a support for the gfx card sag bracket. Have done a number of stress tests, and the system runs great. CPU is at 38 degrees when idling, pumps to high 60's while gaming. GPU is at 43 degrees at ...

Re: bug check reboots
Update: I have the system together, and was just waiting on Amazon to deliver some 3 way fan splitters. They just arrived, so I should have the system up and running this weekend (the sag bracket from the gigabyte gfx card doesnt work with this LianLi case/Asus MB, so I have to drill into the case ...

Re: bug check reboots
Thanks Krom. The PSU manual didnt say a thing, and the cables say "pci-e". I took a long and close look at the mb schematics, and it has 7 or so fan slots. The problem is the wiring to those spots for a couple of my fans. I'd like to use the cpu opt slot for my exhaust fan (a noctura that I bought ...

Re: bug check reboots
Don't connect more than 3 fans to a single motherboard header.

Re: bug check reboots
Well, after a year and a half of dealing with this video card, and random lockups, I decided to just build a new system. The Asus pre-built system was great, but upgrading its components was really frustrating (small congested tower, with only enough room for a 11.5" GPU, a 650w PSU <---likely part ...

Amazon has a few but the 3080s and 3090s are rediculously priced. Newegg doesnt have much of an inventory at ...

Thought I'd post another update. Been running the card fans at 50% with only the occasional lockup (every couple of weeks, but very inconsistant....sometimes it will lock right after startup). It's pretty much a non issue actually. 2 days ago though, the screen started to flick on and off at startup ...

Good points. Thanks Krom! Yes, a 3080 is going to be $2500 (I can actually get a new system for about $3000 with a 3080 included) That's just crazy.

2nd update: Running the fans at 60%-70% speed and about 1-2 reboots a week now. Oddly, it's usually not when I'm running AoE4, but sometimes after, or just when the system has been running all day (email/office/web) with little to no intensive programs running. The bugcheck is always 0x00000116 (so ...

My PC tells me it's ready to upgrade to windows 11. I read some articles a month or so ago, stating that it really hurts your gaming performance.

Thanks Krom!
Running into a snag:
I zipped it, but it's still too big (313kb).
Tried to open it, but I dont have permission for some reason, and couldnt add myself to the permission list for some reason.
Do you have a place I can upload it (and if I did, could you read/open it?)

This entire monitor setup is incredible!
The only downside is the super tiny font.
Is there a way to increase the text size for email (thunderbird) and browser (firefox) besides increasing it manually each time (mouse scroll wheel + control)?
