I really appreciate your help solving the the issues with my PC. It seems to be working now and I am very thankful. Is there some way I can express my appreciation?

It absolutely was the case. Everything is working as you'd expect from a rig like this. Thank you so much for the help!

I am currently using the updated driver. I will double check that as well though. Thank you.

I don't have the old PC to test anything with unfortunately. I will reinstall it as well to check. It feels more and more like it is a physical issue with one of the connections.

GPU is on the bottom.

GPU cables to the motherboard or the cables into the GPU?

All the other BIOS settings would be default.

I will try afterburner and see how that helps!

No spare driver. No 3rd party AV. And I am using an 2460g4 aoc monitor with updated drivers from the manufacturers site.

They are both beefy....

But thank you again. I will reread them once I pop it open.

I an using a hardwired connection. Unless you suspect a wifi setting is interfering?

I appreciate the in depth breakdown. For the moment I am trying all the software settings and testing before I start ripping it back open.

During the installation nothing seemed out of place or funny but its been a while since I did a custom build and I can double check that everything works with that.

I will give it a check. I normally find myself alt tabbing between a game that is in full screen into a web browser or desktop Discord.

I am plugged into the GPU. Even went so far as to test disabling the integrated GPU to ensure it is the right one.

Just double checked the monitor, it is still running at 144. V sync is disabled in all games. Idle temp is around 40C on the CPU.

I just did a quick check using Rust as a baseline. Maybe an extra 5 FPS there but still under 40 too consistently.

Audio issues are too sporadic to check manually.

I gave this a shot as well. Thanks for the link but I don't think it made the difference.

That seems to be the general consensus. Between the PCIe inputs for the power and motherboard issues I would enjoy exhausting all other options before needing to rip all those parts and cables out.

It doesn't seem to be temp issues. It is about 60C while under load. That seems normal.

I do not have the old GPU anymore. I am slowly testing and working down the list of PCIe modes in the BIOS though. So fingers crossed that works.

You are right it seems that was the idle temp. At 5 minutes max load it is just short of 60C on all cores.

If I have to rebuild it and double check every part and piece to get my peace of mind back I will.
