ozmods Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 What size is your power supply?not 100% sure, how do i find out, ?? thanks everyone for the comments, i used a can of compressed air a couple of days ago, and it still crashes heaps, but the crashes have been less, so either it's a dust/ventilation problem or something similiar, i have a front fan on the tower, and one on back but the predator sense only see's the front one, how much would it cost to get another fan for it, maybe one on the side of the case, ?? thanks again for the responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something else at the root of your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedynl Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 also you could check if you have enable weapon debris & ambient colusion, if so turn them off, they are resource hogs, i never had them on, those are the first things i always disable, same for those affull godrays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatB0Y68 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 My MSi 1080 works miracles with Skyrim SE, so I'd recommend that. Fallout 4, not so much, but I blame the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download GPU-Z (link to the portable version), got to the Sensor tab, set it to log to file, and then let it run until the crash occurs.https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/gpu-z-portable Download Generic Log Viewer, and load the log file from GPU-Z, see if the sensor data show anything strange, just before and up until the crashhttps://www.hwinfo.com/add-ons/ If you want to go full bore, download HWiNFO (link to the portable version), start it in sensor view only, log to file, and then let it run until the crash occurs.https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/hwinfo-portable Open the log file in Generic Log Viewer (it supports GPU-Z, HWiNFO and AIDA 64) and look for anomalies.

bbiller Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 If looking for fans, these tips will help.1. Fan speed is not the most important thing, CFM is. Noise is good to deal with, but you can get decent CFM with low fan noise. CFM is how much air that fan can move, fan blade design plays a role as do the RPM's of that fan.2. What helps spin that fan matters in that noise equation. There are many different kinds of bearings and ways to spin those blades.3. Fan noise used to be measured by decibels, but sones took over, however some still post the db, as sones is a feel measurement, while db is scientific. There is a sone to db converter out there if you need it. Under 20db is considered quiet, over 30 is loud. You will want quieter, recommend 18 or less.4. That fan connector matters. Fans now can use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to control fan speed and can report back to that motherboard or fan controller what they are doing, this let's you know when those fans are getting too gunked up or are going to die so you can swap them out or clean them and yes fans need to be cleaned. PWM fans have four pin connections and can be used in a three pin slot, you just lose the modulation to ramp things up when things get hot or more CPU/GPU intensive.5. Size matters. Know how big a fan you can put where. These can be found from millimeter measurements. Typical dimensions are 80, 120, 140, there are larger than that and smaller, too. Bigger does mean lower RPM and less noise for same CFM as the smaller fan.6. Prices will vary check on-line. Newegg and Tigerdirect are great resources for reviews and specs, and may have a good price to beat everyone else. For price comparison use google.com/shopping and enter the make and model fan you want.7. Top recommended fan makers: Arctic Cooling, Cooler Master these will get you good bang for your buck. Noctua make good fans too but are expensive. If you need thermal compound for the CPU, Arctic Silver is a good idea, may be time to look at an after market cooler and maybe replace that thermal paste. Air cooling can be done well for around $30, you may find a deal. Heat pipes are a good idea as are a copper core on that CPU cooler. Aluminum will store more heat and take longer to heat up, but copper will move that heat away faster.8. Fan Prices: 80 should be around $5, 120 should be between that and $10, though can go a little higher, no more than $15. 140 is a little above $15 or around that. Should not go above $20. If a larger fan is needed than those, prices will vary. Keep in mind I now have two noctua fans on my hyper evo 212 and one in the back, along with two 80mm Arctic Cooling fans on the front side to cool the hard drive cages and those cages use a built in 80mm fan and aluminum to cool my drives there. Power supply is a Corsair Tough Power Grand 1200W power supply (modular and gold certified, it was $20 more than the 1050 I could have picked up at that time. It was not cheap. But worth it and it was sitting idle for a few years and has been running strong no issues so far for the little over a year and a half I've been using it, should support any future upgrades I do for that setup. Hope that helps, I did a fair bit of research before buying things, those the Noctua I got from the local Micro Center (had no choice, needed the fans for my computer to work with my job, tech support from home).

DjinnKiller Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Fans are a dime a dozen. It is the same manufactures that makes non-branded and branded ones. If having fans branded with Cooler Master, Corsair etc gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling inside :) by all means, buy those. If cost is an issue, buy non-branded ones. If noise is an issue, use the largest fans possible. Fans are basically......fans. Don't make this into some kind of art. Thermal paste is the same, unless you want a metallic one, then there are considerations regarding the metal used in the cooler. If you de-lid the cpu you are in another complexity hell altogether.

G4M3W1NN3R Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) @Op can you list your full system specs, including CPU tempertures most importantly, Power Supply manufacturer + Size (wattage) as mentioned above, 60 degrees for a gpu at full load, is very good. My 1070 will happily run at 70 degrees for a full 12+ hours constantly without a single issue. your issue may be something else, as said, 60 degrees at full load is incredibly good, hell my gpu idles at that temperture on a hot day. but never exceeds 70 degrees at full 100% usage which is still considered good (this is the average temperture for full 100% usage on a well cooled machine). these cards can handle up to 90 degrees (92 Degrees is danger zone). if your card was to reach 80 (very unlikely) then i would start worrying, but 60 you should be pretty damn happy with that temperture if it is indeed the full load temperture. as for GPU recommendation, just get a 1070 or 1080. you do not need a 2080 for this game Additional Information on Nvidia GPUs 1070 will run the entire game in full 4k textures, with everything with ease. 1080 will do the same but also support higher monitor resolutions. 1070 is ideal for 2k monitors 1080 is made for 4k monitors. (not perfect though) 1080ti is the ideal card for 4k @60 fps monitors (this card is the gaming version of titan series of cards, will actually be better then the titan at gaming.) and 2080 is for additional bells and whistles. the 1070 is far superior to the 1060, and ofcourse higher end cards will just be even better. Nvidia GPUs (version + target audience): x50 = Low End x60 = Mid Range x70 = High End x80 = Enthusiast (those who want the best gaming cards) x80ti (ti = titanium) - (these cards are the gaming versions of the titan series, these are absolute best of the best, when it comes to gaming) Titan = designed specifically for deep learning, or cuda programming, these cards are not specifically designed for gaming) so basically in this case: 1050 = Low End 1060 = Mid Range 1070 = High End 1080 = Enthusiast 1080ti = absolute best of the best this applies to every generation of Nvidia Gpus. the last 2 numbers simply refer to target audience + performance level Edited August 30, 2019 by G4M3W1NN3R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
