Plug the monitor into the motherboard to rule out the GPU, but it sounds like a memory issue.

Not sure what the point is in benchmarking drives, is it like overclocking a CPU or something? Maybe I'm missing something.

Not sure RAID 0 is going to make much difference for gaming other than the initial load. Better to get a smaller OS drive and then a larger separate gaming drive.

That's what I do, using a second slower and cheaper SSD. I actually have a 3rd HDD for static data as well. It's cheap and HDDs are actually more reliable in a "predictive failure" way than SSDs. I also use a portable HDD for backups.

You may want to specify a 2nd drive. You don't want 3 kids jumping all over your OS drive.

Would be nice to see something that would make Nvidia reduce their daft prices, but sadly I don't think it will happen.

I use plug in ethernet extenders which gives a consistent reliable connection, but obviously you are tethered to the spot. FYI mine are TP-LINK. Good quality.

You didn't say what monitor you were using or the budget as requested, so you won't get a decent reply. For an extra £5 I would upgrade to the silver warranty though. Also the storage looks a bit weak compared to the rest of the build.

Not familiar with running on a TV but on a monitor FO4 at 60FPS 1080p is limited by the monitor i.e. upgrading is pointless. I would a add the memory if you think the mods are causing swapping out.

As said above it depends on your monitor.

I would add 2 extra sticks of 8GB RAM rather than throw the existing ones away. Won't make much difference unless you really want RGB.

OK so it's definitely an RMA as Spidertracks says I'm afraid.

There's a chance it could be the graphics card. Can you plug the monitor into the motherboard rather than the GPU and try again.

The 13600K looks to be a decent all-round CPU. I would still have a preference for the 7600x over it if it wasn't for the overall cost of the AM5 platform.

You need to factor liquid cooling, PSU, motherboard, case and leccy bill into the cost if you want to get the full performance out of this thing. For gaming it's just not worth it. Pointless CPU IMHO.

Wow, the 4090 is priced at £1836 !! I suppose given that the scalpers are already charging £2300 on evilbay it's actually a bit of a bargain. World's gone mad...

Your new post doesn't seem to have the spec either. Post it from the order page.

Yes, I think it was Gigabyte and they were slated for it. This is a VERY unusual thing to happen to power supplies and most have several safety features. Absolutely not the norm, and is actually a good example of how social media jumps on the bandwagon and suddenly PSUs going bang are the norm.

Yeah, there's a lot about this on the web but I find it very dubious as GPU (and CPU) manufactures put thermal limits on the die and reduce power if they are exceeded. Also the only thing that would fry the PSU is transient peaks, and even then anything except cheap bargain basement PSUs would...
