It’s Time For a Change…

I wish I could build pcs like this when I felt like building my pc I realized how much I love and enjoy it

Meshify-C and DarkRock Pro do not touch. I have a system like that for years and no issues. It looks like it touches, but it doesn't.

Did you check the Event Log? Sounds like GPU driver crash for sure, but that would be logged unless you have a severe crash-to-restart – which you described, didn't have.

@GregSalazar Have you had the issues since swapping? I had something very similar happening where everything would just go black for a few seconds. It could happen while watching videos, playing games, but nothing specifically reproducible. This started happening around the same time I upgraded to a Alienware 34" Oled (DWF model) and figured I would re-paste and thermal pad my 3080. I thought I had messed something up on my card. After a couple months, I was thinking about upgrading GPU's and wanted to eliminate every possibility before I sold it to a buddy. One thing I did was disable HDR in Windows 11, and immediately I stopped having the issue. Last month I upgraded to a 7900XTX and have not had any issues with turning HDR back on in Windows 11. (I had a whole other fun issue about running down FreeSync Pro Premium not working with my 7900XTX, but that ended up being an issue with DisplayPort 2 on the display not supporting it.) I'm just curious if you had the issue continue since the move to AMD. It was a hard one to research and find people with similar issues, but your issue sounds the closest.

Not a fan of AIO… Air is IMO is better. Over all nice build.

Black screen for 10 sec = Bad GPU drivers

the explorer crash/black screen for few seconds thing i have had as well on both my intel/rtx and amd setup on video editing or better said after video editing when looking through the big amount of videos inside my folders…turned out (at least i thought so at the time) it was my ssd drive which was actually a new one…switched it out with another of the same ssd and problem was solved…for about a week and it started again…so i was curious if it may be because of the big amount of videos in one folder, so i reduced them (deleting old ones i dont need anymore and switching half of the rest to another folder) didnt work so i put those i switched to another folder instead to another drive out of curiosity if that might work…and it did work…since then i always keep only a rough amount of videos on that drive and bought couple bigger hdd´s to store the rest/older ones, but im still not sure if its a problem of the ssd or windows or maybe the graphicscard having trouble showing that many videos? its weird

How's the AMD card been in Premiere, Greg? I'm considering moving to AMD, but the only thing holding me back is the CUDA acceleration.

Dark rock pro 4 is in desperate need of new fans, lots of dual 120mm coolers smoke it now. That being said mines worked like a dream since 2018.

You seem to have a special theme on this build: "Barely fits".

I went from a Ryzen 7 3700X and a GTX 980 Ti to a Ryzen 9 7900X and an EVGA 3080, the upgrade has been extreme! No issues with either. I too, have the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 and it does a great job with the Ryzen 9 7900X.

I think its either windows 11 or intel. Running a 11700k and experience the same issue, its minor but super annoying. Running a 6650xt aswell, im thinking its probably just windows 11.

I tied to put the be quiet! Shadow Rock 3 in my Lian Li Dynamic-011 and it was even worse that yours. It wouldn't go at all. Even thought my case is twice as big.

I HOPE you will read this comment….I had the exact same issue it was the motherboard, I tried swapping parts different GPU, RAM, PSU, cables, monitors, clean win installs, and found out it was the motherboard.

very clean build my guy

Instability on an Intel system? In all my 25 years of building systems, my Intel once have been rock solid (except when OC'ing and the ambient temp dramatically changed). Hope by the end of this video the mystery solved.

i would take that all amd over a 13900k and 4080 any day though just me

It was interesting until… you changed the Dark Rock Pro 4… and you stayed with the same PC Case… But still good video.

Man, man graphics card sure came with a nice PC.

I usually clean as I go

Curious if you tried other power supplies, but bets on the unusual power spikes/draws of that 4090.
