Considering upgrading to 1440p monitor

Hi, I want to check if my R5-2600 & GTX980TI will cut it if I upgrade to 1440p. I am more a RPG guy than FPS. Any experts can advise please? Thanks PS will probably stick with 60Hz.

Occasional boot up problem

Couple of years TBH but that will be part of the 'pull everything apart' process. I wouldn't have thought dust should affect boot up, more like overheating once running which is never an issue. I'll let you know of any improvements.

Occasional boot up problem

It's fine once booted normally and runs well under load. When this happens the PC will not boot, I have to do a hard reset. The PSU is a XFX PRO750 board is Z77-D3H, on latest BIOS. Few years since I built it so I may just pull everything apart and re-seat it all.

*** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

No 3rd party software at all, just the options in BIOS under PC Health. The speed of the CPU and SYSTEM fans were controlled by the relevant temp sensors. I enjoyed having a very quiet machine and wondered why the control now only applies to CPU only? I have tried Auto, Legacy & Intel...

*** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

Hi, I've updated BIOS from F4 to F7 and lost the ability to control system fan speed. Just runs full speed now. Anyone else notice this, is there a work around?

Help an overclocking 'virgin' get an E6300 stable

I was hoping you could tell me that!! I don't like some of those readings, latest vcore1 is 1.18v! shouldn't that be 1.31v? I think i'll go shopping...can you recommend a reliable unit without going overboard, I like quiet so how about Seasonic S12 430w? - £47 over here.
