CPU heat issues are most commonly due to a poorly seated/pasted heatsink, or the motherboard jamming too much vcore into it. Have you looked into your cpu usage to see if you have a miner trojan or something? Might get some more info over in the tech support thread too

Anyone else keeping an eye on the LG 38GL950G?
38" 3840x1600 Ultrawide
nano IPS
Gsync2
Possibly hdr600
Native 144hz(possible OC to 175)
Could turn out to be the new UW king.

Paste is fine, it’s seated fine. I’ve literally redone it three times.
The o oh thing I can think of is I have a ASUS ROG motherboard...are those things set to auto overclocke? I went through bios last night and due to my limited knowledge on that sorta thing I’m not sure what means what.

Ryzen are naturally self overclocking with Precision Boost Overdrive. The motherboard can push voltages up to 1.5V to the CPU during load, which is very high and definitely not needed.
My own 2600 is overclocked to 4Ghz with a 40 multiplier and I've fixed the voltage to 1.28V and it's doing really great. It's cooled by a NZXT Kraken X62 and I was getting like 65°C top while playing Anthem earlier. The o/c doesn't let the CPU steps down at idle though, so it stays at 4Ghz and barely lower the voltage, but I'm getting 38°C idle temps with fans on a silent profile and rather high ambient temp.

Need to disable Precision Boost Overdrive in the bios. Name of the option can vary.
Keep in mind your 2600 will be stuck at it's stock speed of 3.4Ghz though.
You can also try and just fix the CPU VCORE in the bios, just feeding him a fixed Voltage will prevent it from going to ridiculous values.
I'll admit that even then, I'm finding your temp weirdly high, so I suspect some fuckery.
Edit : Had a look around, a 2600 with stock cooler shouldn't get this temp, even bith overdrive. Looking at reports on various forums, it should be more like 70/75 under heavy load.
What software are you using to monitor temps?
Try and update your motherboard bios (can affect temps sensors) and install Ryzen Master (AMD own utility) and check temps there.

Optane is some Intel SSD/Memory thing they came out with a few years back. You shouldn't be seeing anything about it unless you bought an Intel ssd or Optane drive
I have no experience with them, but I wouldn't worry about it unless you find that something about your storage isn't working properly. Certainly worth researching what it's all about since you have one though. You might have access to some features that they offer.
Today I discovered you can set a custom resolution in NVCP to have a full-on ultrawide resolution on a normal aspect ratio display. Running a 3840x1600 resolution on a normal 4K display to see how ultrawide works in various games and to test out if I prefer the aspect ratio or not. It's pretty much like having a 45" ultrawide just with some blank black screen space on the top and bottom. I'm liking what I see so far.

Started my build tonight, a 2700x on a Crosshair VI (kinda settled on what locals stores had in stock so I could build today). Too tired to learn how to setup the radiator and all the fan shit tonight though.
Will post a pic tomorrow when finished, in all it's ridiculous rgb glory.

I thought of expanding my QNAP TS-831X with the UX-800P but it appears it has been discontinued and I can't find it anywhere on sale. What are my options?
I built a budget gaming desktop yesterday. Used to laptops for many years now, due to constantly traveling for work, and most of them were potatoes when it comes to gaming. The difference is amazing for someone used to turning down graphic settings to low/min. Most of the parts are up to 2 years old, but I don't need bleeding edge anymore, and I don't think I'm interested in anything newer than Fallout 4 right now, so this system is giving me great framerates, with great quality for anything I play.
I never used a SSD before. Years ago when I was still building gaming rigs every year, they were really new, and really expensive. I got a 500gb one for this system that was on sale, and the difference for a lot of things is very noticeable, especially any load times for games. The the 1tb and larger ones didn't cost much, but I generally only have around 400gb space used, everything else goes to another drive/device. I'm not sure if SSD are incrementally slower as the size increases or not, so just stuck with a comfortable size.
Oh first time with an Nvidia/Geforce card as well, I'll admit this one was simple. Pop it in, install drivers, no problems. With the ATI/AMD ones there was always some damn workaround or tweak I needed for games I was playing, or certain games performed bad with the ATI/AMD cards, maybe just luck of the draw.

Probably need to load some Intel driver (RST maybe?) during install for Windows 10 so it can see a drive.
I've owned a PC since 1998 but I've never overclocked one. So I'm dipping into new waters and could use some advice/recommendations.
Current relevant PC parts:
GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 5
Intel Core i5-6500 Skylake Quad-Core 3.2 GHz
G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400
MSI GAMING GeForce GTX 970 4GB OC
Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 Black Window High-Airflow ATX Midtower Computer Case
My motherboard still has the BIOS version (F5e) that allows overclocking for non-K CPUs VIA adjusting the CPU base clock.
A) Is there a website or listing of stable BCLK/Voltage/DRAM settings for the i5-6500? I've found some information but it's 3+ years old and I'm worried about doing something very wrong.
B) If available, what would you recommend for a cooler for under $50 and able to fit into the case? So far my research has lead me to Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo (RR-212E-20PK-R2) CPU Cooler
The goal is to keep this system playing games well for another year or two until the next build.
