It is a liquid cooled system though and the fans never rev up like it’s getting hot but I’m going to check it out sometime this week.

I must admit I'm not too familiar with how the liquid cooling systems measure the need for cooling. Is there anything connected to the CPU fan power connector? If not, I can't figure out how the cooling system could find out a potentially loose CPU cooling block - unless of course there's some monitoring software reading the temps and adjusting the cooler accordingly.

You can easily check for such issues in the BIOS/UEFI settings. A loose block or inadequate monitoring/adjusting should cause the CPU run quite hot even when idle.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

How well did this computer and Nvidia 770 play AH3? Mine would barely run it all,even with most graphics options NERFED or even turned off. :headscratch: There is a hit to performance in EVENTS arenas, even on my GTX1070. Just not sure how AH will run on your card? My laptop I started with, would play OFFLINE AH3, but as soon as I went online,even in the tower would cause a "White Screen" lock down like you describe, and wasnt heat related(it was monitored). Just curious :salute

Could also be power related, but heat is still my first thought.

It runs AH3 great. The only thing that gives me problems is clouds on certain terrains and some shadows.

I moved it from its spot under my desk which I admit had crappy airflow to a good spot and it ran at idle all night and never got above 75 degrees inside the case.
