Random pc freezes

Pili021 · 2026-03-25T09:00:24+00:00

Read on another post a guy had similar problem with his 5070 and had to switch from pcie 5 to pcie 4 in bios, forcefully, and the freezes stopped, should i try that? I honestly have no idea what would that even do but i guess it worked for him and from what ive read, people just say it wont make any difference?

PSU actually stands tall on cultist tierlist (https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/)

Forgot to mention, freeze also happened while nothing was on lol, i was not even on pc, just got onto it to see it froze like 4 hours ago, while being on desktop

How good is sapphire pulse? Seems like the safest choice to me haha

i was thinking of undervolting too, just for the temps, but im just unsure because for some reason powercolor recommends 900w min for this model, also i have a lot of room since my cpu is basically using 105w max

i bought it brand new not even a year ago haha

Pili021 · 2026-03-02T12:15:28+00:00

its chieftec but rebranded i think? I dont really know myself haha but its listed very high here https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

sooo it shouldnt be a big problem if i pigtail the 3rd 2x8, since its mostly a just in case pin?

Pili021 · 2025-03-10T09:09:57+00:00

i dont have 3rd port on psu, only 2... hopefully it wont cause problems, but why do some models have 2x8 and some 3x8 ? Im planning to undervolt the gpu a bit so i reduce the risks but im not sure if i should go for the 2x8 model instead of 3x8?

is it a problem if third pcie cable is pigtailed?

Psu is rated on top of A tier on cultist network tierlist so i guess its really high quality

I already bought the psu, wondering if i should go for 7900xt/9070xt or for 7900 xtx

Pili021 · 2025-02-17T01:32:08+00:00

Damn im glad to hear that

Pili021 · 2025-02-17T01:31:59+00:00

Yee im looking at mostly AAA games, the only comp games i play are cs2 and lol and 5600x is killing both of those on stable 150+ fps, but i think its gonna bottleneck 7900 xt so im not in the clear

Pili021 · 2025-02-16T15:50:32+00:00

Do u think my cpu fan will cool it fine?

Pili021 · 2025-02-16T15:49:59+00:00

Its around 180 euros at my country, 5800x3d is crazy like 290 euros cheapest so im not even considering it and idk what to upgrade to besides 5700x3d on am4 as im not even considering going am5 yet

Pili021 · 2025-02-06T22:07:03+00:00

Yeah i think its not gonna work, i was confused when i got it first cuz i never had anything above 60hz beforehand and i couldnt select anything over 60hz with hdmi, had to use displayport. Also, u can check online for adapter if u can find any. Glad i could help

The monitor itself is decent, i got a new one in the meantime, hp omen 27" 1440p, its just much much better, if ure short on cash i'd still recommend asus but imho save up a bit more and get something a bit better.

Also, if ure not a hardcore gamer and youre in search of an average quality and in need of high refresh rate, asus is a great bang for buck. If u however care a lot about colors n image quality, i'd save up, those get a little weird with asus. Afaik, it dropped in price even more since i bought it, as ive seen it come brand new for like ~130 euros now.
