I have a Sager laptop with 16gb of "Unnamed" DDR4 RAM. I was thinking of just buying another 16gb stick with the same specs/latency. Not that I need 32gb, but that would be the simplest solution. On the flipside, since I don't know what brand RAM this is stock, I could just buy two new sticks...

can anyone help me? i downloaded apex legends, gpu runs at near 100% with 110+ fps no problems. heaven and furmark 100% gpu look great. warzone plays at 60% gpu and 40-50 fps. no vsynce is on. i even reinstalled the game and it didn't do anything.

You may have seen some of my other posts, but I have a Sager notebook, i7 9750, rtx 2060 and my GPU was great the first 3 months and then serious FPS issues (I've only played call of duty/warzone as a test). With Afterburner I figured it out on my own that it was actually over-overclocked from...

Literally figured it all out now. Clock was still high. Pulled it down to 1,575mhz and no power/voltage limit. Even was able to get the RAM OC 400mhz as well. And in all that my temps are now steady eddy at 67c, down 5c! Too bad it's literally been two weeks of me not realizing this was the...

Thanks. One thing I can tell you is the temperature is not a problem - it runs at a static 72c while gaming. Never been hotter than that. So temp is not the issue. But I think I might be making some progress. I think my card was actually overclocked from Sager...like WAY overclocked, but they...

I have a Sager notebook with an i7 9750k, 16gb RAM and an RTX 2060 GPU I purchased in October. I basically only play Modern Warfare/Warzone but even running benchmarks I've noticed some unusual drops in FPS recently and I think I am closer to figuring out the problem. Specifically when I say FPS...

yes, using that too it shows they are almost always clocked at 100%. speed shift is on in the bios and balanced power is selected. shouldn't they be down clocking? when the pc isn't running anything hard?

Thanks, but even when I do that in CPU-Z they all show pretty much at the max. The multiplier goes to 42 and they are constantly between 38-42 even though I have nothing running at all. And once again utilization shows 10%. I would think they would downclock??

Sorry, I meant in the task manager the utilization may say 10%, but CPU-Z or HW Monitor show the clock speed at 100%, or around 4,000Mhz even while the utilization is at 10%. And yes, I meant "Minimum Processor State" at 5% within the power options of Windows. Sorry for the confusion. FYI...

I notice in cpu-z it's always at or near 4.0 ghz. i thought with speed step it is supposed to fluctuate and drop down to lower clock speeds when not being fully utilized? task manager says utilization currently is 10%, and speed step is enabled in the bios, but still it is running max mhz in...

I don't know if you've watched the videos on oiling a fan, but it's about a 4-5 minute process max. And I had to remove the fan even if I was just replacing it, so since it's out, may as well pop open the cap and spray some oil in there. But, I don't know how to open the cap, hence the post...

true, and i have prime... but c'mon! most of us on this site pride ourselves in building our own pc's, so fixing a little squeakedy squeak on a case fan should be a piece of red velvet cake. :)

My Enermax is making a lot of noise after being on about 15 minutes every boot up. I figure the bearings are bad, but i've never done a fan greasing before. I watched a video on youtube and it looks quite simple. So i pulled the stickers from the fan and then noticed a housing around the...

I built my computer several years ago, at least 4-5. The only thing I've replaced is the GPU, everything else is original. The only things I have that could be making noise are a front and rear fan, the CPU fan, and the PS or PS fan. I tried to use compressed air and see if maybe it was a...

so i downloaded a program a while back and was in a hurry. nothing wrong with the program but you know how a lot of times there will be an ad right besides the download box that looks the same as the real download box, but is really just some bogus pc software that is malware? yeah i...
