Installed the 750W PSU a week ago and haven't had any issues since. Also didn't realize how big of a difference modularity makes in terms of air flow and cable management, I know I won't be going back. Thanks everyone for the help!

Memtest came back normal. Went ahead and ordered the new PSU, should be here within the next few days. Hopefully that's the issue, but even if not, I was going to need a new PSU eventually anyways. Thanks for the help! I'll post back when I've installed the new unit and tested it.

Thanks Lt, SPC and SGT. I will run memtest shortly and then order a PSU assuming all comes back normal. How does this look? Buying from Canada, hoping to find something that will come soon-ish with Prime.

I don't have an extra PSU, unfortunately. The PSU is as old as my computer, bought it brand new in August 2014. The following temperatures were taken after about 20 minutes of the Witcher 3 running, in an instance where it did not crash on load up:

Thanks for the prompt replies, much appreciated! - No overclocking of any sort. - Yes, I've been monitoring with OpenHardwareMonitor. Fan inputs and outputs are clear, I replaced and upgraded the case fans only a couple of months ago. There is a CM Hyper 212 Evo on the CPU (it's been there...

Hey all, I've been dealing with some strange PC crashing recently that I haven't quite been able to nail down. Basically, when I launch certain games (the two in particular that have triggered it are The Witcher 3 and Jedi: Fallen Order), my entire PC sometimes crashes and immediately...

Thanks SSG! Didn't notice that one. I knew there was a recent thread in this forum but it had a lower budget. Cheers!

Hey all, My 2.5-year old Logitech G933 wireless headset is unfortunately on its last legs. I am wondering what would be a good option to replace it with. Ideally wireless, but my ideal budget would be ~$150 CAD ($115 USD), so I'm also amenable to wired options if that's all I'll be able to get.

Thank you SFC Burke! Guess I've gotta improve how I keyword my Google searches 8)

Hey all, I have a couple of questions that have been lingering for a little while now. 1. Is it possible to delete a poll without removing the thread? I've looked all around but haven't been able to find an option to do so. 2. Is it possible for one to make the Zeus watermark disappear from...

Copy that, thanks TSgt. Is it SmackDown or RAW?  8) Understood SGT! I'll take a closer look at the layout and potential cable route. Thanks everyone for the help. I wasn't expecting so many responses so quick. As soon as this is squared away I'll be able to fill in for you all!

I went ahead and ordered this since it was on sale and since I know someone who has been using it without issues. I didn't buy an ac extender because again, my router only goes up to n. It's something I've encountered when researching how to fix this, and something I'll consider if the range...

Copy that, thank you PFC. I'm going to talk to my roommates and see if I can run a long-ass Ethernet cable across the apartment somehow. If not, I'll go the extender route. Thanks for the help everyone.

TS is a useful benchmark because it has the persistent ping indicator at the bottom right. I don't completely lose Internet connection under load, but enough to give me extremely high TS ping at the peak (~1500+ ms) which causes the connection to be lost. I can still browse the Internet, albeit...

I've tried both viable PCI-e X1 slots (a third one is unusable as it's practically on top of my GPU). Also, one of the alternative cards I tested (the TP-Link) was regular PCI.
