Hello, I’ve been having an issue that a number of folks seem to be reporting recently, although more severe, where my GPU hangs (black screens) and fails to recover, requiring me to hard restart my computer. Upon booting again, the GPU is not usually (though sometimes randomly is) recognized by windows. The result is that, while the computer posts just fine, there is no display output recognized by my PC from the GPU and as such I just get a black screen on boot. For a day or so I was able to do a workaround where I plugged my monitor directly into my MOBO to run on integrated graphics, then I would toggle the GPU in device manager by disabling and enabling it assuming it was on and otherwis

Hello, I find myself in need of a high-end closed back headphone, and I'm looking at the Aeon 2 Noire. It's a decently pricey pair of cans, so I'm hoping to get some advice before purchase. I've been sold on sound quality from other reviews, but I'm curious how good the noise isolation is. I've moved recently and the new apartment unfortunately has a good amount of background noise I'd like to keep out, and my current open backs predictably don't do the trick.

I'm also wondering about Dan Clark's weird audio cables. Looking at their website they use an (almost) proprietary connector, and buying the headphones with a 4.4M balanced cable is an extra 200 dollars. I've never been one to overspe

Hello, I’ve been having some system stability issues with my recent build at high system utilization (mostly manifesting as CTDs when playing games), with the common denominator seeming to be high RAM usage when issues arise. I had a similar problem on a previous build when a RAM stick went bad on me, so I ran memtest as part of a typical check to see what’s up and everything came back clean.

I promptly decided RAM wasn’t the issue and turned to other matters like GPU instability. However, I was reading up on it again and realized I may have slotted my RAM incorrectly.

I have two 2-packs of 16 gig DDR5 Corsair Vengeance sticks, and I slotted them paired with the first pack in A1-A2 and the

###Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Primarily games and personal use.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

High-end. Focus is on 1080P and prioritizing FPS for now but with some room to switch to a 4K monitor in the future. 4K still seems hard to do consistently with good frames, so I'm not as interested in it with this build.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

2-2.5K USD

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

U.S.
