And why not? Everyone does it, even companies does it too. So why should TechPowerUp be the exception. I'm sorry for offending anyone in this thread who were fooled but they probably had it coming if they didn't even bother to read the disclaimer. I know I made my fair share of mistakes being...

I agree with @Jose Jeswin that the issue could lie with the PSU, though I find it odd that 550W should be able to power your rig just fine. Perhaps it's faulty. Can you perhaps take a photo shot of your PSU's label as well as the connector to the mobo & GPU? Could also be improper plugging of...

Gotta look in the mirror on who you just insulted, dude. You're the one who fell for it. :laugh: :roll: :slap:

Still doing the line method, i see. I thought we already established that you shouldn't use that much paste. You know what, why don't you take a photograph of how much you applied before re-seating your heatsink so we can judge if you smeared the appropriate amount of paste. Also wanna make...

Makes sense... :clap: If it works to kill your boredom, then all the more power to you. :toast:

That's just it. It's YOUR GUESS! What you believe to be more useful might not be for others and vice-versa. And then BOOM! You accidentally exit the app... again and again... Also, "Quick to stop it and to restart" just means that you're just fooling around with the app. Not a "useful feature"...

I don't think it's as "rigmarole" as you think it is. They are just about as easy to find if a tiny bit of effort is put into it even if it takes a few more clicks than getting to the one on TPU. LOL! Totally agree with you there. Don't really understand either why there isn't a driver type...

How so? The non-DCH drivers are easily accessible within the "Beta and Older Drivers". Just a few more simple clicks along with choosing the "Standard" driver type and a user is good-to-go.

Before you waste money doing so, can you please tell us first what the second PSU brand and rating is so we can verify whether it really is PSU issue or not.

If still in doubt, you could try using more hardware temperature monitoring software to increase sample size comparison from any of the links below, all of them, free to use: https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/perfmonitor-2.html...

My current guess is it's the PSU. GameMax is a fairly sub-par PSU brand and may not be supplying the correct voltages. How old is it? Do you have any other PSU you could use to ensure that the problem is with the PSU? If it's cleaning electronics that is about to be used, I wouldn't recommend...

Okay, thank you for your input though.

No, that is not what scalping is. Merely selling wares higher than the recommended market price is just being a greedy reseller but there is more to scalping than this. Since you guys must've missed the post on the previous page where I linked another forum member's excellent definition of the...

Sure, for some, it's not fine but it is normal business practice. What you are quoting from me is the difference in business ethics of a reseller and scalper.

That is called reselling which is fine. :lovetpu::peace::clap: I'm a millennial, what do you expect? We thrive on fooling around this dumb-ass things with emotes... :rockout::kookoo::toast: Apologies for not being clear. An individual is entitled to make a profit as long as they do go about it...
