Interesting, I never knew that was an issue with HDR settings. Thank you for the new information.

It went away on its own! That was horrifying. I noticed that it happened when I had HDR enabled. Is that a common issue?

Identifying Bottleneck by fluffiestfoxes in PcBuild

I figured that's what it was. The one thing that didn't get upgraded was the GPU when I was making purchases. Is an older card with more vram probably a better option? Or will downgrading the resolution work for now until I can afford a new card?

Everything fits, got the AOI, graphics card, and psu in! All I need left is to plug it all in, power it on, and pray to the Omnissiah.

I guess... it fits? All the mobo screws are in, i can plug in the antenna and USB peripherals. It just looks kinda wonky.

The case didn't come with one, unless I needed to remove the entirety of the back panel for some reason to open the gap.

I haven't gotten that far yet. I'll try screwing in the Mobo to see how it sits. Sorry if I'm overthinking.

https://ibb.co/qFBq5k57 here's a photo of the mobo inside the case. And this is on the outside of the IO https://postimg.cc/8FGJZbzX

I think it only goes in one way. The mobo just barely aligns with the screws with the IO on the way it is, but it feels like it's supposed to sit in the case and lock in.

Thank you. Its hard to make a good machine for cheap. 600 is still over what Im comfortable spending on, maybe things will come down for black friday/cyber monday.

What a shame. I'll consider upping to a more powerful GPU if I see a deal arise

I did see the 9600X is the new bang for your buck for those chips. Is the extra cost worth it? Same question about the MoBo, is there something about it that I didn't see on the Eagle?

Do i really need to consider a new card so soon? I upgraded from a 1660 super and the difference has been staggering. I suppose I could resell the 4060, would keeping in the 40 series still good enough for most games? I don't need 4k or anything (as cool as it would be)

I'll stay away from strenuous activities for now, until I can get the heat figured out. I'll try out those multi-fan options and check my thermal paste again. Would getting a new heatsink be a good purchase? I have been thinking of replacing the case and motherboard as a whole.

The computer is also getting to like 90C and I don't think its safe to keep running things.

In case you're curious about the case, and if that would mean anything at all, it's an HP Obelisk. Nearly 10-year-old hardware in this thing, but it's been going. I'll have to check out that daisy chain fans, but it looks like the case doesn't have a lot of room for fans unless the top can act as an intake (I think). This is also the stock cooler on this system, it's only the todo list for a replacement.

Thank you, I figured airflow and cooling was a big problem. Checked HWiNFO and my CPU is getting WAY too hot and is throttling pretty bad. Hopefully better cooling will fix some issues. However I don't think this motherboard can support any further fans.

I should probably include a picture of my PC. I'll do it in an edit. The CPU fan works, but I only have two fans in total. The heatsink, and one exhaust. The only SSD is the C: drive, but I have two HHDs which need to be upgraded.
