14900KF issues
I have a PowerSpec G474 with an Intel 14900KF CPU. It's been pretty unstable since I purchased it. Frequent crashes, screen goes black, and nothing of use in the Event Viewer that I can see, just that the previous shutdown was "unexpected."

Is it normal for my Ryzen 7 9800x3s in my powerspec g759 to go up to 92.5c while running Novabench?
I think that temp is too high and wondering whether the water cooler is working properly. I am running the novabench performance test and not the stress test. It does cool down pretty fast after the test ends. I thought good water cooling should only have the ryzen 7 9800x3d only go up as high as 70-80c with that test. I…

Is there a new firmware for the Inland performance plus 4TB SSD 3D TLC NAND with firmware EIFM31.4?

PowerSpec G760 AIO Cooler whine/buzz
The PowerSpec G760 I bought has an incredibly high pitched/annoying whining sound, even when my PC is idling. After process of elimination, I narrowed it down to the AIO cooler. I have to turn the pump fan down to 60% for the noise to go away. And when I gradually adjust it back up, the whine comes back with a vengeance at…
