10x scalar we balll

pure garnet

doesn't reddit say to use like 10x

frank cypress

scalar on am5 is like the voltage slider in msi afterburner

it barely does anything, the smallest of boosts

Oh my God I forgot to change max boost clock override

other than that i'm basically done with am5 tuning for my system

youll probably want to download equalizerapo to eq out any desk reflections

pure garnet

turbid locust

Edifier has their own EQ app tho

shell void

unfortunately it's nearly guaranteed with your big ass desk

i have to put a big cut in mine

easy to find with a sine sweep tho

shell void
#

only michael would buy a $3000 gpu and pair it with a $250 motherboard

turbid locust
#

my brother in christ my board was $150

merry stirrup
#

real shit

#

my edge was overpriced but its small

#

the mpower wasnt Clue

turbid locust
#

also im not convinced the B850M Mpower is coming to the US

low sorrel

Im finally above stock

merry stirrup
turbid locust
#

perhaps

shell void
#

therell be a ton of board released between now and early 2027

turbid locust

yeah im gonna see what options exist first

merry stirrup

ayw oc seems good

and is seemingly real

tachyon is OP but it's eATX and asus bios better

turbid locust

I want mATX to go back to A3

merry stirrup

yeah thats whats gonna be sick about the mpower and my d31

itll fill it out and the mpower imo is a very decent looking board

shell void

is the mpower deal finalized

merry stirrup

i bought it like 2 days ago

it was finalized when i bought the 5070ti lol

a69 has working usb sleep wake by default though

bios updates havent changed anything for me in like 6 months

i want a 14900k+apex but that's like 1k in old stuff

merry stirrup

arent third party ilms not cool beans for peak mem speed a lot of the time

but i dont go for just mem i go for an actually fast daily system

shell void
merry stirrup
turbid locust

and unfortunately all z790 boards are sub-optimal except for apex, apex encore, and kingpin

shell void

theyre the only ones youre getting 8600/8800 on

merry stirrup

did you put the evc in there?

turbid locust

Floppa what's the max safe voltage for rev e

merry stirrup

shell void
#

i could not care less about evga gpus, but it does break my heart that kingpin motherboards went extinct right before i got a decent job

merry stirrup
#

thats what he tests to, 1hr 30m

#

most peopple testing for 8800 stability dont go further

shell void
#

i am highly skeptical due to the consensus that even 8000 is generous on later z790 lightning bioses

low sorrel
merry stirrup
#

idk a lot of people seem to recommend the lightning for 1700 oc on the cheaper end, people like blackdot and such

shell void
#

holy crap somebody bought the z790 kingpin that was going for a band on ebay

merry stirrup

yeesh

a lotta hwbot folks consider 30 mins test to be stable lmao

i dont typically talk

turbid locust
merry stirrup

theres aa couple people who have the same hardware/similar/the same issues as me that i talk to occasionally

"hey I dont understand why X is Y"
"well youre fuckin stupid for not knowing that about a platform youve never touched before so fuck you"

merry stirrup

well yeah cold typically takes away a lot of the skill and so does running 43 second benchmarks

generally how most convos went there

they just get binned samples and punch in numbers until something works for 60 seconds

As soon as I go past 4 it dies

merry stirrup

its all terms past 4k

yes the b550 a gaming was the same way

merry stirrup

wouldnt go above 4k then i changed terms to some reddit values i found and boom 4800

merry stirrup

proc odt and shiz

turbid locust

I did 5k on a 4 dimmer on AM4 so like it's a thing

merry stirrup

yeah definitely

merry stirrup

i did 5k on an 1200 4 dimmer

#

on 4 dimms even, lol

turbid locust

merry stirrup

4800 4 dimm daily is insane

those are zen5 ones theres only like 4o ros omething on am4

those setup values are sauce for 1t gdm disavled working

set to like 53 53 53 and your setup should do that

turbid locust
merry stirrup

yeah

thats why i said find some reddit values that work casue fucking with them yourself takes forever

faster to fafo geniunely random teminations than figure out what combo is optimal

Anything wrong with this?

Hey What's a fair price i can sell my latop for? its a ryzen 3 3300u with 20gbs of ram total with 128 gb ssd im thinking 160$? Is it worth less or more because the cpu was released in 2019.

devout ridge

wdym 20gb of ram

small whale
#

4 soldered ram along with a added stick of 16gbs ddr4 2400mhz

#

It's a gateway laptop

devout ridge

there’s comparable listings at 130usd on ebay, and those are from reputable sellers

you’re probably looking at more like 100usd or less

low sorrel

it's 10g per liter of blood

pure garnet
# low sorrel it's 10g per liter of blood

Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is a measure of alcohol in the blood as a percentage. It is calculated in grams per 100 mL of blood, so a BAC of 0.08 means your blood is 0.08% alcohol by volume.

#

so a BAC of 1 would be 100% alcohol by volume, no?

#

i mean either way it'd be insanely lethal and you'd die before it

shell void
#

ill test it out dont worry

low sorrel

what is a bac of 0.1

you know what

you may have a point there

George Vaccaro was a Verizon customer who, in early December 2006, had a customer service phone call where Verizon had a legendary "math fail" as it would have been dubbed at that time. This is a viral tale from the early/modern internet age of the oughts. In the calls, the Verizon employees repeatedly fail to acknowledge the distinction between...

can’t those parts be cooled by like… a single 360mm rad

all that for a 12700k?

gotta give that $200 cpu 4 years ago that civic with a laptop treatment

none of the intel 7 node i7s make sense for overclocking when they're just awful bin i9s

topaz veldt

I dunno, not judging their builds really it just doesn't make sense to me

Like at that rate why not just get a 55 gal of coolant and a 360

by time the 55 gal is raised in temp it won't matter

only youtubers and botters got them

I want a FE for the T1 but no access here and scalpers

My only bet is a freight forwarder lmao

Or- a friend of mine going to study in the UK buys one and brings it back for me xd

I would trade my TUF for an FE I think

i don’t know enough 5090s to have opinions on non astral models

Its a pretty 1:1 trade for every model except for the top dogs

the per pin monitoring stuff is neat but meh too expensive

Today it’s a huge bummer seeing battlefield 6 doesn’t use Ray tracing the great technology ever added to the gaming industry

Pretty great for the money, if it wasn't for the resonance problem. At least where I live, there are fans which perform similarly with less annoying resonance, like Coolermaster Sickleflow (2020 version) non-RGB. I would be curious to see how this design would perform if it was made out of a LCP.

How good is the RX 9060 (16GB) in 1440p? I'm thinking of a Ryzen 7 7700x + RX 9060 build but really hesitating because of the GPU. Would it bottleneck the 7700x?

mobo vendors have started saying their b850 boards are zen 6 future proof

scarlet iron
#

do yall think b650 boards would also support zen 6

low sorrel
#

Probably

scarlet iron
#

cause there's an open box b650 eagle ax board for like 105€

#

unsure if i should spend the extra money on a b850 board

#

Asus, MSI and Asrock have said that zen6 thing now I think it's ready for zen6 without a bios update?

#

Oh wait

#

It's the 64mb bios which gives them support for zen6 hmmm

#

Eagle AX has a 32mb bios

frank cypress
pure garnet
#

b650 eagle for 105 sounds like robbery but i guess european pricing sucks

scarlet iron
pure garnet
#

yeah that still sounds high

frank cypress
pure garnet
#

i wouldn’t buy an open box motherboard a year in advance though

scarlet iron
#

Yeah but I'm tryna upgrade soon prolly at the end of this month

#

I can get this for 960€ total while selling my old kit + gpu for 800€ in total

#

5800x3d + mobo + 32gb ram for 450€ and a 6800xt for 350€

#

So an am5 upgrade with an x3d cpu + 5070 for 160€

#

I guess I could get the board and just resell the board later whenever I wanna upgrade to zen6

pure garnet
#

i doubt the board won't support zen 6

scarlet iron
#

yeah it wont

#

i checked it only has a 32mb bios

pure garnet
#

that doesn't mean it won't get zen 6

#

the current bios images for my board aren't even 16mb yet

#

and people still got zen 3 on b350 boards with even less space

scarlet iron
#

idk everyone who advertise their board is zen6 ready is because of 64mb bios

pure garnet
#

then just buy a 64mb board now if you're so worried about it

#

5800x3d -> 7800x3d is barely an upgrade as is

scarlet iron
#

5800x3d 6800xt to 7800x3d 5070 for 160€ sounds pretty nice

#

going from am4 to am5 only costs me 50-60€

#

6800xt to 5070 is 100€

pure garnet
#

or just buy a 5070 now and wait for zen 6 instead of buying a platform you're reselling immediately

#

since you're clearly not happy with the 32mb eeprom

scarlet iron
#

idk am5 for 50-60€ doesn't sound like a bad idea

pure garnet
#

you're not keeping the board so it's not really worth it but

#

i don't care that much about your money to debate it further

scarlet iron
#

I like to switch out my hardware often so idm

#

but to me a 5800x3d to 7800x3d for only 20-60€ sounds sweet

#

I could even get the upgrade for free if i buy everything used except cpu

or is that too much

Hello, I have a small question. I recently bought a 9800X3D, and I’m wondering if I should return it and get a 9600X (272,28$ cheaper) instead. I play games at 1440p and plan to upgrade to the next RDNA 70/80 GPU within the next year or two (when they’re released). Is that a good idea, or should I keep the 9800X3D?

arctic bronze
pure garnet
#

depends on what games you play imo

#

at the same time keeping the 9800x3d means that a cpu upgrade won't be needed anytime soon

arctic bronze
#

yep

#

so the only downside is you spent more money

#

but its an awesome cpu

tall pebble
#

Basically, I’ve been wondering because I compared some videos comparing the 9700XT with the 9600X, 9700X, 9800X3D, and 9950X3D, and in most games, the difference in CPU performance seems marginal. Also, I came across this article — TechSpot review
— and it made me think that maybe I overpaid, and that the money could have been better spent on the GPU I plan to buy next year. :>

arctic bronze
#

well you have it now, I wouldn't want a lesser cpu since the 9800x3d destroys at gaming

#

its just a great all rounder

tall pebble
# arctic bronze well you have it now, I wouldn't want a lesser cpu since the 9800x3d destroys at...

I know, I’m not saying that the 9800X3D is a bad CPU at all — most reviewers are singing its praises. I’m just wondering if it’s really worth it. Like I said, the performance differences are pretty marginal, and you only really see a noticeable gap when using something like a 5090-level GPU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpN4nyftQ3M&t=618s

it will allow you to use it for longer before upgrading

the money you save right now returning it is just money you'll spend sooner upgrading to a newer cpu
