The only type of fort worth talking about @Martinr36 ! If you haven't robbed your mother best scarves and the finest table linen for the roofing, then you aren't trying hard enough! Although, now that I think of it - how big is that Lego fort if you can fit inside it @rouchie ??? :eek:

On a similar vein - my favourite one growing up was on a fridge magnet we had for decades: BE ALERT! YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS LERTS!

Could this one be relating to 5.1 surround sound setting? In the past I have had issues where an audio output set to surround sound would send voice or other audio channels to a non-existent speaker? I would have thought that Windows these days would be clever enough not to allow such a setting...

Poor old Tommy Cooper! 🥲

I bought a book today called ‘Binary 101’. I didn’t understand it cos I didn’t read the first four in the series.

My teacher says I’m an average math student. I think that’s a mean thing to say.

I was suffering from screen flickering - and had reverted to the game ready driver from the studio driver - but it didn’t solve my issue which turned out to apparently be WiFi interference with my cheap HDMI cable - so not much help I’m afraid. The OP’s issues certainly sound like they are...

Ah OK - that's the Audio track LED lighting and would be powered even when the system itself is off. Only other thing I can think of to try is to cycle the PSU power switch on the PSU unit itself - as that can reset some internal trips if any occured. It does sound like a dead PSU I would...

I’m not disagreeing with anything your saying at all. But I don’t believe that RMA’s are taking multiple months for everyone who requests one - so your cases are the outliers - but I get how that is no use or comfort for either of you. You have some useful advice for the OP and I hope things...

I assume it’s been upped to supervisor or manager level? Hopefully it isn’t an issue with parts. 😢

I do agree - it's an awful situation and not what would be expected. The OP's case has slipped through the cracks I fear - in the majority of occasions PCS will come through and sort it out and acknowledge that fact. There isn't any indication in the OP's post if or how they have followed up...

No - that's actually relevant and can't be dismissed with a wave of the virtual hand. I am sorry to hear that it's been taking so long all the same. Fingers crossed you hear something soon.

If everything is dead then it would almost certainly be a PSU I would think. However, the PSU recommended for your GPU seems to be 500W as far as I can tell - perhaps I have the wrong reference though. That would be for an 'average' system with an average i7 CPU - your CPU is one of the lowest...

Yes I’m afraid this forum is only for prospective and existing PCS customers. We can’t help with non PCS machines. Apologies. Toms Hardware or similar might be a good bet....

Thanks @Bigfoot - Wiki can be good in fairness. And yep I think that is kind of the point ultimately - latency is only part of the story. 👍

Thanks @jamiephillips909 - agreed. I’m just not seeing where the limited system lifetime comes in. But I guess that’s why I generally stay away from speccing entire systems myself! 🙂

I would say it most likely an overall power limit restriction or a limited clock.

Might be worth checking your Power Plan settings in Windows - try different plans and see if any difference results....

If it was disabled then I think the CPU would never boost - but with it enabled it should be boosting but just for a time limited period. Your CPU sounds like it isn’t boosting at all? Even for short periods?

I’m not familiar with Intels XTU but there may be some other settings in there perhaps that could be limiting the power supplied to the CPU - that’s all I can think of I’m afraid...
