Just to update this thread. I ordered the Razer Basilisk v2. but it took forever to get to me because of snowmageddon. Been using it about 3 days now and I think it's going to work out for me. The scroll wheel adjustment on the bottom of the mouse works well. I will say that I have it all the...

Anybody?

I'm currently using the Logitech G203. Some games I play use the wheel for both scrolling and clicking as a button. The issue is I sometimes click the wheel and it scrolls a notch forward or back, which completely bones me during fast gameplay. It happens multiple times a day. Infuriating. So I...

Just as an update, I purchased a BStock EVGA 850 GQ, 80+ GOLD 850W directly from EVGA. Popped it in and she's working like a champ now.

I went ahead and ordered the B-Stock EVGA linked above. Leary of buying BStock PSU, but it's direct from the manufacturer. Price was too good to pass up... on something I hadn't planned on and didn't want to buy. lol

I don't know what that means. I'm running whatever the Radeon auto-detect and install decided it needed. lol

Dang. You're right. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Normally I wouldn't touch a BStock PSU with a 10ft pole.... but I suppose it's directly from the manufacturer. https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=210-GQ-0850-RX I see a bunch of alerts today that windows did not shut down...

Thanks for the replies. I guess I should have said, if the entire computer is shutting down, then it's obvious the PSU is being exceeded in some way. Versus the video card struggling for juice and/or overheating and/or shitty driver, etc etc. A video card specific issue would kill the video...

Am I correct in thinking that if the video card wasn't receiving the required amount of juice, that just the video output would crash and not the entire computer? In other words, I'm thinking I'm just maxing out the entire power supply. And maybe the little adapter is "working fine".... I'm just...

Yeah I thought about replacing it as soon as I saw I didn't have an 8-pin PCI-E connector. But heck, they're all so expensive right now. I bought the wife a 750W EVGA G1+ Gold-rated power supply for $60 on clearance ~6 months ago. Now it's like I couldn't touch anything like that without...

I don't want to say...you'll make fun of me.:p It's a XCLIO GREATPOWER X14S4P3 550W. While it does have an 8-pin modular connector, it's the 12V EPS connection. I'm currently using the one PCI-E 6-pin that's hardwired by the main 24pin harness, and then I plugged in another PCI-E 6-pin modular...

I ran a Radeon R9 280 video card for a few years in my PC. No problems. I decided to upgrade my wife's video card and bought her a 5700XT. I took her old RX590 and figured it would be a small step up for me. So all same PC, just swapped in the RX590. It's crashing under load. The entire PC...

Ignore the rig in signature. i5-9600K and Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro Mobo. The price difference on 3200MHz CL 14 memory is quite the jump from 3200MHz CL 16 memory. About $65-70 upcharge comparing apples to apples. I have read Ryzen CPU really unlock when you pair them with quick memory, but Intel...

Appreciate the reply, but that doesn't do anything other than boot into BIOS from Windows. I can get into BIOS just fine. Side note: Rather than go through all the menus in that walkthrough, a user can just hold Shift while they select Restart from the taskbar power button. Does the same...

Not discussing the rig in my sig. Rig is an Alienware X51 R2. We added a 500G SSD, initialized it as a storage drive and it showed up under My Computer, cleared the Alienware HDD down to under 500GB, used EaseUS Todo to clone the HDD onto the new SSD. The plan was now to just switch the boot...
