Should I go with a 1660ti or a rx 5700 gpu

#

The 1660ti is 289 and the rx 5700 is 329 the rx 5700 has 2 more GB of ram

pliant zephyr
#

@kindred forge the rx 5700 is about 13-18% faster then the 1660ti, you have to decide if it is worth spending more money on it, other choices would be a non super 2070

kindred forge
#

Well I got a budget so I want a good gpu that wont cost me a arm and a leg that would be good 4 streaming

#

Rn I'm using a rx 580 4gb

pliant zephyr
#

@kindred forge Then the Nvidia 2060 super or 2070 none super wins do the streaming codec they come with

kindred forge
#

Can I game and stream from them at the same time

brisk badger
#

just saying, AMD also comes with streaming support with

#

ok NVENC seems better than AMF or VCE

#

still, if you want to professional stream, you should do via CPU

pliant zephyr
#

@brisk badger yeah by far

brisk badger
#

and optimally a second streaming pc

pliant zephyr
#

@brisk badger he wanted budget oriented

cerulean cradle
#

Opinion on RTX 2080 TI, I'm willing to buy it

#

Any thoughts?

kindred forge
#

Cant afford 2 build a second pc got 2 kids I wanna get a ryzen 5 2600

#

This is all gunna be out of taxes and my budget is between 500 and 600

brisk badger
#

I mean you have a rx 580 which can be okay for gaming already. for 500-600usd you could make a second streaming pc technically 😉

#

I have no clue about streaming nor would I ever do that. What would be interesting as well if a second gpu could do the streaming work. no idea if that works tho

#

price/perf wise I would chose the 5700 but no experience with streaming mode. I use relive for AMD and it does what I want but no live broadcasting

kindred forge
#

U can stream from revile

#

Relive

#

I've done it

brisk badger
#

yea there is settings, i just don't know how bad it looks compared to nvidias counterplay

#

then on the other hand, you need to register on nvidia to use it's service

#

no go for me

kindred forge
#

Alot of streamers use slobs

brisk badger
#

i guess there is cpu encoding at work

kindred forge
#

There is alot of settings u can edit in slobs

#

Anybody here know a cheap case that supports a 360mm Radiator? ATX mainboard

vapid crypt
#

Uh I believe the case I have supports a front mounted 360 rad, I got it for 50 bucks off Newegg

#

Out of stock at the moment though, its the Cougar Turret Mesh

fleet canopy
#

Cameras makes RGB god damn blinding

#

Unless you have one of those cameras with all the settings, you could make it not too bad

edgy verge
#

Could someone explain CPU culling workload to me? The simplest answer I found online was that it adjusts the amount of work that GPU and CPU do, but I was interested in a more in-depth explanation maybe

pearl cargo
#

me too

#

It's the first time i see such a setting in a game

north bronze
#

High CPU culling makes the occlusion culling calculations on the CPU instead of the GPU, low does the inverse, using the GPU more for culling calculations

#

I suppose medium uses a mix of the two.

edgy verge
#

So if I have an older CPU but a beast GPU and haven't fixed my bottleneck yet

#

I can put in on small for maybe a happier CPU

north bronze
#

Yup!

edgy verge
#

Thanks

brisk badger
#

erlite, you know by any chance if that culling calculation uses it's own thread?

north bronze
#

Nope, don't know, but likely not knowing Unity

edgy verge
#

Given that you have passable to decent hardware on both cpu and gpu ends, does it make much of a difference?

#

Does one tend to perform better than the other on occlusion culling calculations

north bronze
#

That's a good question I doubt I can answer, but I'd just play with the setting and check FPS and CPU/GPU usage

edgy verge
#

Sounds good

north bronze
#

As for the multithreading question, Unity doesn't allow you to do Unity stuff outside its main thread, so I doubt the culling is checked outside

pearl cargo
#

as exposed seems to correct a little the bottlenecking between GPU and CPU

edgy verge
#

In my case I know my CPU even overclocked is about a 30% bottleneck so I'm sure small will be better, but I'll try med out and see how it does

pearl cargo
#

if u have a Laptop GPU for example and a good 6 core processor, u can favor the cpu usage in order to free GPU usage

edgy verge
#

Thanks for your knowledge Erlite

north bronze
#

You're welcome!

#

With a good 6 core processor I'd suggest setting CPU Culling to High/Extreme

pearl cargo
#

what if a quad core ?

north bronze
#

Depends on the CPU tbh

pearl cargo
#

the I5 7600K for example

north bronze
#

I haven't checked GTFO's multicore performance but my 3700X with 8c has no issue at extreme cpu culling

#

and it does lower the strain on my GPU

#

that would likely handle high without issue

pearl cargo
#

perfect !

#

thx Erlite

north bronze
#

👌

Is this game support ultrawide?

humble hornet
#

if i wanna build a pc from fresh or just order one just asking lets say in USD does anyone how a rough gauge as to how much i would need to save

#

if required -i live in singapore

fleet canopy
#

In USD for prebuilt or are you going to build it?

humble hornet
#

i was told to do a prebuild as it could be build to play what i would like

strong whale
#

if it's a full tower don't be shy on pricing unless you're really tight on a budget, for a mid-spec prebuilt you'll be looking probably $1200-1600 range

fleet canopy
#

Prebuilt are basically the company builds it for you

#

Mid spec for 1200$ is insane

#

You can easily do 700$

strong whale
#

have you seen some laptops recently?

#

a 1650 laptop for like $1400 lmao

humble hornet
#

but i was also told since i do not know how to build one that i should just order one----
but the guy that told me to make my own pc said that it could be overprice and i might not use it to its full potential

fleet canopy
#

Laptops aren’t what he was going for though

limber drum
#

you could build your own "mid tier" for $700-$900

#

imagine wasting money on a gaming laptop

fleet canopy
#

Unless you traveled a lot

limber drum
#

yeah

humble hornet
#

i would prefer to use a laptop for school work rather then gaming

fleet canopy
#

Well you can still get it 700$ or lower if sales are lucky in your favor

strong whale
#

you won't be getting a very good one in that price bracket though

#

as far as building your own goes

fleet canopy
#

Saying a 580 with 2600 isn’t good anymore?

strong whale
#

it's decent

fleet canopy
#

580 is like around 150$ if I remember

#

A member here said his 580 with 2600 did GTFO at 60FPS+ on GTFO

#

And GTFO was poorly optimized for most cases

strong whale
#

on what settings though?

humble hornet
#

what should i look for intel or amd?

strong whale
#

as of recent i personally prefer amd 100%

fleet canopy
#

AMD is cheaper and their new 3000 series are great as of now

strong whale
#

a 3600(x) would be great

fleet canopy
#

If you don’t wish to overclock ofc

strong whale
#

ohh right the price range thing

#

i completely forgot to mention thats in CAD

humble hornet
#

a noob question here an amd motherboard cant an intel chip right?

strong whale
#

no

fleet canopy
#

My recommendations would be to get a 3600 and a 1660 for 1080p gaming

strong whale
#

completely different sockets

#

and yes a 3600 is a solid option for gaming, if you do workstation, video editing or anything i'd look into a 3700x

fleet canopy
#

Not only that, if your AMD cpu chipset is AM4, buy an AM4 motherboard

#

There isn’t only 2 different kinds of chipsets, there is a lot of them, so if you’re not using a website like www.pcpartpicker.com be careful what you pick

strong whale
#

yes, and when he says a lot he means dozens, you really gotta do your research if you are building your own

humble hornet
#

thanks for the site i shall use that

strong whale
#

other than that i really enjoy pc building personally, you'll find it's fun to get yourself upgrades or accessories/peripherals down the line. It's almost addictive really

fleet canopy
#

No problem, it’s a pretty good site to use if you don’t know too much about tech. When you have put a list together, please send us the link to the list and we’ll help you improve it for your pricing and for performance

strong whale
#

yeah take pcpartpicker with a grain of salt they don't have the info on every part in some cases

fleet canopy
#

PCPP is pretty great imo, you won’t have to worry too much, but the pricing and of course, the info they put in are sometimes not there or are wrong

strong whale
#

yee

fleet canopy
#

Like the part could be listed as 300$, but you can probably find it for what is actually priced higher or lucky, lower

#

For instance Amazon and Newegg, both having PC parts will both have different pricing for what you find

humble hornet
#

thanks @strong whale and @fleet canopy

fleet canopy
#

No problem

strong whale
#

Anytime, I only got here like 40 minutes ago but i'll probably be pretty active in this channel

humble hornet
#

very nice

fleet canopy
#

3700X isn’t too crazy for a 2070 Super, right?

vapid crypt
#

A CPU is never too crazy for any GPU tbh

#

Generally its the other way around

fleet canopy
#

3900X with 1060 is pretty fucking crazy imo lol

vapid crypt
#

Like pairing a 2080 ti with an i3

#

Well logically if you were to put a pc together sure

#

But if you say just upgraded to a 3900x, maybe you need the 12 cores for rendering and other stuff than just gaming you know, but you already had a 1060

fleet canopy
#

Yeah but it’d be really unnecessary getting a 3900X with 1060 imo

strong whale
#

a 3700x and 2070 super is actually the perfect combo

fleet canopy
#

Lovely

#

What I asked for lol

vapid crypt
#

Anyway the point is, your game is usually only gonna perform as well as the video card in most cases. Being overkill on the CPU just means it won't be a bottleneck

strong whale
#

as long as you don't have a crappy 2.8ghz quad core processor with a 2080 ti then you will never be bottlenecking your gpu

fleet canopy
#

Quad core 5GHz does bottleneck 2080 Ti even then with that clock speed

strong whale
#

i used to have a i7 930 paired with a gtx 960 a couple years back, upgraded to a ryzen 1700 (which i still have now), the difference in overall performance was amazing

#

idk any quad core processors that can hit 5ghz lmao

fleet canopy
#

7700K

vapid crypt
#

Golden 2500ks could do 5ghz

fleet canopy
#

Faye has done it I believe

strong whale
#

game performance is heavily single core performance reliant though

vapid crypt
#

But yeah probably any Kabylake could

strong whale
#

i'm talking realistic situations here though, not like kingpin overclocking

fleet canopy
#

Kek

#

Well I guess time to save for a CPU/mobo upgrade now

strong whale
#

don't upgrade anytime soon

#

Big Navi cards coming 2020, Ryzen Zen 3, Nvidia Ampere

#

unless you plan on buyer's remorse

vapid crypt
#

He already got a 2070S I believe

fleet canopy
#

I already got myself 2070 Super on Black Friday week

strong whale
#

that's fine

fleet canopy
#

I just need CPU upgrade and RAM

strong whale
#

which Aib card did you get?

fleet canopy
#

Like cooking? Fan

#

Fucking

strong whale
#

manufacturer

#

like Asus Rog Strix, MSI, etc

fleet canopy
#

Gigabyte, I know you people call it trash but it’s better than 1060

strong whale
#

eghh i hate gigabyte, i say this as someone who has a gigabyte board and card lmaoo

vapid crypt
#

Eh I think they're just hit or miss

strong whale
#

they're cheap for a reason, the card isn't a big deal other than the cooling

vapid crypt
#

I heard their 5700s are good though

strong whale
#

really?

#

the 5700 is supposed to be a frickin oven

vapid crypt
#

Yeah the Gaming Oc is one of the best options

strong whale
#

the FE cards were getting to 105 degrees celsius

fleet canopy
#

My 1060 3GB is Gigabyte, has done me long enough and it’s still going strong to this day, just not performing to my needs probably because I got a 1440p monitor

vapid crypt
#

Well oven with the blower sure phaWesker

strong whale
#

haha yeah

vapid crypt
#

But that's the uh

fleet canopy
#

Also apparently any Sapphire card has great cooling

strong whale
#

blower style in 2019 imagine

vapid crypt
#

Junction Temp

#

The hottest spot on the die

strong whale
#

yeah ik the temps are mixed

#

nonetheless way hotter than most cards

wanton rampart
vapid crypt
#

I'm sure its cooler than the junction on Vega

thorn spade
#

Anyone know of a way to disable the film grain in the game via config?

strong whale
#

Also yeah sapphire was one of the first Aibs that came out for 5700(xt)

wanton rampart
#

my setup 🙂

fleet canopy
#

I was going to get an EVGA 2070 Super but it was like a more cheaper than getting an EVGA

thorn spade
#

film grain and chromatic aberration gives me a crazy headache so i normally just disable

vapid crypt
#

Um

thorn spade
#

but no option for that 😦

vapid crypt
#

Chromatic Abberation can be disabled

#

I don't recall if that's the case with the grain

strong whale
#

if i get a 2070 super or any other card i'd rather get a rog strix, expensive but they are binned chips + have rediculously good cooling

fleet canopy
#

Film grain can be disabled

strong whale
#

from what i remember seeing the rog strix 2070 super doesn't see higher than 70c in most games

thorn spade
#

I don't see settings for either ingame, so I assumed it'd be a config .ini tweak as it often is

strong whale
fleet canopy
#

If I knew what my temps were, then I’d have understood but

thorn spade
#

could very well be

#

i'll try there

fleet canopy
#

I don’t have any programs whatsoever that calculates temperature and % usage

strong whale
#

if you have a ryzen cpu, get ryzen master

#

any card can also use msi afterburner

vapid crypt
#

Riva Tuner with MSI afterburner gives you an overlay for that stuff

fleet canopy
#

I have 7700K as I’ve said Kek

strong whale
#

7700k is still solid

#

also yeah i forgot lol

fleet canopy
#

I’ll see about getting MSI afterburner, I’ve used it before

strong whale
#

it works with any card

#

you can also set your own fan curves

#

because i have a gigabyte 2060 i set an aggressive fan curve and haven't seen overheating issues since

fleet canopy
#

Not too sure what fan curve even is

strong whale
#

basically telling the fans how fast to spin at certain intervals

#

that being temps

fleet canopy
#

Ah ok

strong whale
#

for me if it ever reaches 80c i set it to spin 90%

fleet canopy
#

I’ll see about it when I come back home on the weekend lol

#

Also I’m pretty sure 2070 Super doesn’t even go 36FPS on Quake 2 with RTX on lol

strong whale
#

seriously

fleet canopy
#

It did for me, but it’s literally doing 36FPS and there’s absolutely no fucking way it does that haha

#

Also weird wording I know

strong whale
#

the 2080ti hits around 70-80fps with Vulkan on Quake RTX

fleet canopy
#

Vulkan? GWmythicalThonkCool

vapid crypt
#

Its a graphics API

#

Like Direct X

fleet canopy
#

Mmk

strong whale
#

Vulkan is generally better "optimized"

#

it's amazing on Doom

vapid crypt
#

TBH usually performs better

fleet canopy
#

Never saw the vulkan option, it’s only for 2080/Ti?

vapid crypt
#

No there's no limit to a specific range of graphics cards

#

I wouldn't know how to enable it on that demo though

strong whale
#

so i watched a few benchmarks and although it isn't locked, the 2070 super still hits high 50's to low 60's framerates on quake rtx (Vulkan of course)

#

also the benchmarks will be consistent because it is a almost 100% gpu bound game with rtx on

fleet canopy
#

Mmk

#

Anyways I gotta sleep now

#

Take care

So, what would make an electric like noise once in a rare while in your computer?

Maybe your fan

oblique pilot
#

I kinda thought about that, but I know it's not case fans. Dunno if gpu fans or battery fan would make such a noise. It's like pretty static the sound.

#

If you could imagine a tesla coil on a very small level that only activates for a second. That's what I would describe the noise.

Cross tighten two screws? 🙃

#

If my mount, that has press on it to shift it around, sits still because I just turn those bolts like they're some Ikea screw on a shifty table, then underpressing it shant be a problem.

Two screws for the cooling?

Yea

sick reef

Yeah, cross tighten still applies, though, I guess.

Those are held on by hooks

#

Dumbest thing ever imo

sick reef

That seems awfully weird of a solution.

abstract kite
#

IKR

sick reef
#

But if you're sure it's mounting pressure, it should just be to tighten further, right?

abstract kite
#

Its not going anywhere. Tightened it to the point where it wont budge

#

The issue is I have air pockets in the thermal paste (Thanks Corsair).

#

So I gotta reapply some more when I get some

And clean the current crap off

Tho. They do black coolers now

#

Finally fashion pc 😍

#

Noctua has the chromax now

fickle shuttle
#

Yeet

abstract kite
#

Black coolers

#

ftw

fickle shuttle
#

😆

sick reef
#

The brown on the Noctua's are rubber inserts you can remove, from the normal fans.

#

If I remember correctly.

fickle shuttle
#

Can i repaint the fins tho lol

sick reef
#

Not without performance loss.

fickle shuttle
#

I personally dont own a notctua one lol

sick reef
#

Weight, and aerodynamic.

fickle shuttle
#

But seemed interesting when I was looking at coolers

sick reef
#

But you should be able to paint the outer frame without any impedance.

abstract kite
#

Just buy the chromax fans if you want black noctua fans lol

fickle shuttle
#

Got a cryorig one its okay

abstract kite
#

I had a cryorig h7 on my 6600k. Hit 4.5Ghz no problem

#

Good coolers for the price

sick reef
#

My custom loop, though too overkill for this discussion, helps my 7940X run at 4.8GHz base.

abstract kite
#

Noice noice

fickle shuttle
#

Sounds hot 😍

abstract kite
#

I havent delved into custom loops yet

sick reef
#

It runs at 30C.

fickle shuttle
#

Can it push 5ghz xD

sick reef
#

Probably, wouldn't surprise me.

#

But I'd get diminished returns, heat wise, overclocking 14/28 like that.

abstract kite
#

Im planning on buying Threadripper next (just built a PC and already planning for the next LUL), and I’m thinking of doing a custom loop for that

fickle shuttle
#

Wheres a good place to check how high I can oc my cpu?

#

I havent played around with ocing yet

abstract kite
#

Really its trial and error tbh

sick reef
#

Kind of. It depends on a lot of factors.

fickle shuttle
#

So lottery time? 😊

abstract kite
#

The silicon lottery isnt friendly

sick reef
#

The case, heat dissipation, the CPU, and the cooling solution, mainly.

knotty spruce
#

My 9900k runs on 5.3ghz with custom loop. Direct Die. No IHS. Have two 560mm radiators, in my the tower 900 case.

sick reef
#

Lottery is secondary, mainly about stability.

abstract kite
#

All that for a 9900k? @knotty spruce

knotty spruce
#

For 9900k and the 2080ti with a biosmod

sick reef
#

I wouldn't want to run my CPU too high, due to degradation.

#

I want it to last, too.

abstract kite
#

Eh. I cant see how a 9900k warrants a custom loop but its cool I guess.

sick reef
#

It's the best gaming CPU.

abstract kite
#

Thats about all it is

sick reef
#

You do get a lot out of your temps for custom loop.

abstract kite
#

Thats true

sick reef
#

But, Sakura, regarding overclocking, if you have an average setup, silicon lottery hardly matters, as you'd hit temperature throttles way earlier.

fickle shuttle
#

Ooh ok

abstract kite
#

Intel lost me a while back. Still kinda salty over how easy MDS attacks are.

I beg to differ when it comes to the silicon lottery.

sick reef
#

You can, but you're wrong.

#

If you have a better cooling solution, regarding the whole computer, than an average setup, then you would be more correct.

abstract kite
#

Lets take 9900Ks for example.

How many can really hit 5.0Ghz all cores with an average cooling solution?

Maybe with custom loops its not a factor, but for the average user, it does.

sick reef
#

But thermal accumilation will happens swiftly as the computer case can't displace the heat, and the dissipation from the CPU isn't enough.

#

For custom loops, silicon is all that matters.

#

It determines the upper limit of the CPU.

abstract kite
#

And thats why it comes back to the silicon lottery.

You just said it yourself.

Setting aside factors such has heat dissipation and case airflow, silicon quality determines the upper limit of a CPU.

sick reef
#

Take in mind that you can not use neither mine, nor your build as an example of average.
2 in front, one in back, half assed CPU heatsink with a small fan.

#

It'll throttle almost by just being used intensely.

abstract kite
#

Any CPU without proper airflow isnt going to perform well in those conditions. I dont see your point.

sick reef
#

That is my point.

#

You are seeing it.

abstract kite
#

Yet you already explained my point yourself lol

#

I believe we’re talking past each other

sick reef
#

Your point is that silicon determines the upper limit of a CPU that isn't limited, as I agree.
When it comes to an average build, thermal throttling would be much more of a factor for overclocking.

#

As such why I specify average build.

#

Without the specification, that I so started with, we would be talking past each other, hence the specification.

abstract kite
#

And I agree, yet it feels like you’re negating a factor by assuming that the conditions will be poor.

#

It still is a factor. Regardless of conditions.

sick reef
#

So the average build doesn't have poor cooling solutions?

#

Even assuming a case in itself doesn't inflate the temperatures, which is very much can.

abstract kite
#

Considering that there is such a broad range of chips with varying performance, its kind of hard to pinpoint “poor conditions” unless we specify the minimum specs/requirements for the CPU.

A Pentium can survive almost any condition because of its core count and tdp.

sick reef
#

But would it overclock well?

#

Assuming base cooler, that is included with the CPU.

abstract kite
#

Pretty damn sure it can

#

Because Ive done it

sick reef
#

Good. And now, contemporary CPU's, then. How about those, base cooler obviously.

abstract kite
#

Again, define ‘contemporary’.

#

More specificities

sick reef
#

Do I need to specify, or do we look at per example steam stats, or do try and find the temperature average of a home computer users computer?

#

For overclocking such as an average PC, you look at the fundamentals first.

abstract kite
#

You’re constraining the overclocking abilities now by using the stock cooler. Which, unless I’m wrong, most sane people when building a decent PC tend to purchase aftermarket coolers.

sick reef
#

I wasn't, actually, but that was the example in the situation.

#

Earlier I stated a "average PC"

abstract kite
#

I dont see stock coolers being sold with any intel ‘K’ processors

sick reef
#

Two in the front, one in the back, half-shoddy CPU heatsink.

abstract kite
#

Prebuilt?

#

Or just a POS PC

#

Because, if we must go with your scenario, you’re right.

On the flip side, in an actual coherent and properly cooled system, you’re wrong.

sick reef
#

Yeah, that's what this discussion started with me stating, yes.

#

I'm glad you understand.

abstract kite
#

Glad we’re on the same page now.

#

The end result though wasnt the original discussion lol

fickle shuttle
#

Lol

sick reef
#

You just assume too high of an average PC.

abstract kite
#

Then define average for me.

sick reef
#

The one's who actually invest themselves into computer parts are a small portion of those who buy PC's.

abstract kite
#

Sure. So, are the systems you’re referring to prebuilt?

sick reef
#

I am referring to all systems, disregarding office computers or the like.

abstract kite
#

All systems, so that includes office computers, laptops, HTPCs, prebuilt “gaming” PC, etc.

sick reef
#

Literal office computers.

abstract kite
#

I see a very small portion of those that can actually overclock processors.

sick reef
#

As they are not home computers, as I so said earlier.

abstract kite
#

Office computers generally have motherboard constraints and/or locked processors, so the entire idea of “overclocking the average PC” based on that example isn’t even possible.

#

The argument falls there unless you have another example.

sick reef
#

Are you going to be silly then?
I specified that I did not include computers that are placed in an office, as I specified home computers. If we so would disregard computers that are unable to be overclocked, even if the case that they were able to be, one of the most common problems for people with computers is thermal accumulation. An inability for the computer as a whole system to displace the heat it is producing properly, leading to high temperatures.

The basis of what I said, to begin with, was that silicon lottery would in fact not be of the most matter to an average PC, as you so stated, this assuming that an average PC could so be defined as I also stated earlier. You stated the contrary, because you though that the average PC has a good enough cooling solution to suffice against thermal throttling.

It does not matter, in terms of what the system is, or any other specification, because of the myriad of variations of PC's available, and only really serves as to avoid the main point, or are attempts to dilute the argument.

Do you wish to disagree, then sure, we can specify, and specify, and then, when we're down the the >1% of home computers that belong to enthusiasts, you would be correct, they probably might be more affected by the silicone, but that wasn't what I was stating to begin with, and I even earlier agreed with you on that, but any practical purpose of stating it as a norm, or fact, is null, as it isn't true.

abstract kite
#

Now that I can finally read without trying to read between the lines, I agree with your point. In the “average” computer with “average” cooling, thermal constraints will be more of an issue. I apologize for immediately thinking of that >1% which I’ve been accustomed to.

sick reef
#

I'm not trying to be diffuse but I can come out like that sometimes.

abstract kite
#

Thats fair.

An discussion, with merit, or just argumentation, is always amusing.

fickle shuttle
#

Im still trying to work out what graphics settings I should play this game on lol

sick reef
#

Heh

#

Aim for what you want, but try to keep a steady 60.

abstract kite
#

The highest settings you can with a decent framerate. This isnt a competitive game, so 60fps is fine.

fickle shuttle
#

I think I do 70-80 but its a bit inconsistent lol

abstract kite
#

Whats your monitor’s refresh rate?

fickle shuttle
#

Well according to ingame fps counter

#

165hz 2560x1440p

#

Gtx 1080, i7 8700k (no oc yet), 16 gb ddr4 ram

sick reef
#

Yeah, aim for 120 then.

fickle shuttle
#

Hence wondering about the oc lol

sick reef
#

8700K

abstract kite
#

The game looks pretty good on medium settings tbh. I tried them all out.

sick reef
#

Should be able to handle some Hertz.

#

4.3 or 4.4 should be safe.

abstract kite
#

What cooling solution do you have Sakura? You said a Cryorig?

sick reef
#

But that's with the rest also accounted for.

fickle shuttle
#

Yea

abstract kite
#

H7?

#

Or a different one

fickle shuttle
#

I think so or a variation

#

I can't recall exactly lmgt

abstract kite
#

An H7 should be able to hold it at 4.4. Maybe 4.5

sick reef
#

8700K in general handles 4.3~ without larger issues.

abstract kite
#

^

fickle shuttle
#

Yeah h7

abstract kite
#

Oh yea you’re good

fickle shuttle
#

Does intel turbo not already boost it? Not really sure

sick reef
#

Boost will give you the extra needed after that.

#

It boost temporarily

fickle shuttle
#

Oh it ads onto it?

sick reef
#

Yeah, pretty much.

fickle shuttle
#

Interesting

abstract kite
#

Id start with increments however. Start with 4.3 and work your way up.

Boost clock speeds generally are single core

sick reef
#

Intel Boost boost the most active cores, but not all cores at once, and especially not for long durations

abstract kite
#

Yea

sick reef
#

I ran into the issue when I ran DOSBox when it tried to use 100% of my CPU

abstract kite
#

Damn

sick reef
#

14/28, base 4.8GHz, with boost function enabled.

#

It shot up and steady stated at around 64 degrees.

#

But it turned my entire room up several degrees.

abstract kite
#

64C isnt bad though

sick reef
#

No, it's really, really good.

#

But it's still heat that gets transferred into my room,

abstract kite
#

Radiators heat up rooms faster because of the dissipated heat compared to a tower cooler’s concentrated heat.

sick reef
#

Well, heat is heat.

fickle shuttle

Are pc fumes toxic?

#

Actually curious

sick reef
#

Fumes?

fickle shuttle
#

Yeah

sick reef
#

Fumes from what.

abstract kite
#

What fumes

sick reef
#

Like, a burnt capacitor.

fickle shuttle
#

Particulates lol

abstract kite
#

Nah

sick reef
#

There's really only dust, the parts themselves don't degrade to the point of releasing particles.

#

And if they do, it's often self-contained.

abstract kite
#

You’re likely to die from something else first before anything in your PC decides to yeet toxic fumes

sick reef
#

Don't take close sniffs of burnt electronics, though, if you can avoid it.

abstract kite
#

Mmm the smell of lithium burning

sick reef
#

That's the only fumes that'd be toxic.

#

Magnetic radiance, whilst not strong enough to cause issues due to isolation, is probably also somehow possible.

#

Don't mount the motherboard, openly, literally next to your head.

fickle shuttle
#

Solid advice 😊

@spiral patio What site is that?

idle orbit
#

@spiral patio long loading times are mainly caused by bad / old SATA interface drivers or no SSD installed

spiral patio
#

It's not. It's AMD's Radeon settings. And yeah. That too. I was just musing that I've got a fairly powerful GPU and a potato CPU. it slows things down a bit

idle orbit
#

hm... im still running an i7 2nd Gen - so i will definatly be able to play CP2077 on it for sure - but on the other side yours is not an K Model so its kinda OKAY to replace it with the i7 3rd Gen its absolutly worth

#

i5 and i7 differences u know ?

spiral patio
#

Yeah. Eventually I'll get around to upgrading. but honestly at this point in the lifecycle I'd probably be better off getting a new Mobo that can support the shinier stuff that's coming along.

idle orbit
#

i got my i7 2nd Gen for cheap - less than 30 € second hand

spiral patio
#

Game still runs fine though.

brisk badger
#

don't buy a 3rd gen intel cpu in 2019

#

or any CPU that supports ddr3

idle orbit
#

and if its for less than 30 bucks ?

brisk badger
#

it wont be trust me

spiral patio
#

I mean if I can get it for pocket money sure I'll give it a shot, or reclaim it from someone else replacing their system. but yeah I'm not gonna go out of my way getting a new CPU for this system

#

honestly I'm really pleased with this build. It's lasted a hell of a long time.

idle orbit
#

thats for sure but on Pocket Money there is no pain to do so

#

my system here runs now since 10 Yrs

#

and yeah it reaches a limit slowly but its still superb fine

#

even StarCitizen is working on a decent performance

brisk badger
#

there was no i7 in 2009

idle orbit
#

oh noo? sure ? well then its 9 yrs and a half

brisk badger
#

you bought for 30bucks a intel second gen CPU in 2010

#

doesnt add up

spiral patio

Nnng. emotional crit. I want to love star citizen. Specifically squadron42 because I grew up on wing commander. but I've been unimpressed with Chris Roberts' management of the project and it's really souring it all for me.

idle orbit
#

and to be honest i started my system with the i5 2nd Gen

#

and the 30 Bucks deal was last year i never mentioned i bought it that cheap 10 yrs ago

well the last couple updates they had - improved a lot in SC - i had not the chance to check it out recently due lack of time but im ecxited to be able to find time in January

fickle shuttle
#

Star citizen lel

#

When is that dumpster fire of a game going to fly

brisk badger
#

I quickly want to highlight why your recommendation going from a 2nd gen Intel CPU to a 3rd gen Intel CPU is bad:

  • The IPC (Instructions per Cicle) is minimally faster
  • Tons of heat problems with the 3rd Gen
  • Most important: The chipset has to be replaced as well which means you need to buy a new mobo. Not worth at all
#

Additionally

  • Yes an i7 can be faster than i5 but it depends a lot on the application you are using. Hyperthreading is nice but not for all apps suited. The larger L2 / L3 cache is nice but usually doesn't give a big jump in performance
fickle shuttle
#

How old are 2nd gen cpus

#

That sounds ancient

brisk badger
#

2011 they have been released

#

I have some old Core 2 Quad running as server to this day

fickle shuttle
#

What is current gen?

brisk badger
#

every day since 2008

fickle shuttle
#

Like 10th now?

brisk badger
#

i think so yes

#

but that doesn't really matter much

#

or tells much

radiant garnet
#

It's 10th 'gen' but the IPC hasn't changed at all since 6th gen. It's all skylake with additional polish on top

Ryzen 3rd gen is amazing

brisk badger
#

I wish I can switch. But i'll wait

strong whale
#

people complain about the clocks but literally that's what happens when your node is shrunken lol

brisk badger
#

plus more threads also doesn't make it easy to achieve higher frequencies

#

but seriously, frequencies tell nothing

strong whale
#

yep

brisk badger
#

they did for some time cause of Intel and no changes

strong whale
#

15% ipc increase alone makes a huge difference

#
  • better use of the infinity fabric to support higher frequency ram
brisk badger
#

Even tho we have going to have amazing hardware, I am still very pessimistic about software

radiant garnet
#

IPC > GHz IMO.

brisk badger
#

in regards of using more threads

strong whale
#

that alone is the only reason i haven't gotten a 5700xt

radiant garnet
#

Also, Ryzen 3000 supports crazy fast RAM, but you'll have to de-couple the IF

strong whale
#

their drivers are questionable and nvidia has more support + software

brisk badger
#

was always happy with amd gpu drivers

#

since the 5870 I am only using AMD

strong whale
#

i've seen some complaints

#

due to inconstistency

radiant garnet
#

Considering what I've experienced and what I've seen Nvidia owners complain about, it's just about equal, really.

brisk badger
#

the driver itself is a piece of garbage that got recently better

#

at least you don't need to sign up on AMD to get all features

radiant garnet
#

Though, apparently the image with AMD is 'sharper' or 'crisper' or something? I've heard many talk about it, but I haven't seen A/B comparisons.

brisk badger
#

i heard you have to have an account for shadowplay lol

strong whale
#

well nvidia has all around better developer support since most game devs optimize their games around nvidia gpu's, but yes sometimes nvidia drivers cause a lot of issues

#

i use shadowplay constantly

radiant garnet
#

They optimize for nvidia because nvidia has enough money to send out engineers to help because stupid people keep buying nvidia every time they increase their price for the same tier of HW...

vapid crypt
#

Nvidia had some of the worst drivers during the vista era, part of the reason that vista would crash was because of their drivers

strong whale
#

ah, never got to experience that

#

that or i was too young to pay attention lol

brisk badger
#

if game devs would do a proper job, we wouldn't need constant driver updates :p

strong whale
#

erm

radiant garnet
#

I don't think blaming game-devs is fair; blame the publisher that doesn't want to pay for enough people to do the work in the time they demand. No dev wants to ship a broken product, but if it's between that, and no job, well...

strong whale
#

yeah..drivers are to help game engines and other software better utilize the hardware at hand, the game devs are only responsible for optimizing their game to be less of a resource hog

spiral patio
#

It also doesn't help that Nvidia tries to bully the market with their proprietary nonsense. Real talk the reason why there's those nvidia splash pages is so that people can play with the features like hair works or that hilarious tessalation fiasco during crysis 2 that absolutely /tanked/ your framerate if you weren't using nvidia.

strong whale
#

RTX 2080ti Gaming X Ultra OC Super

#

lolol

brisk badger
#

it's maybe harsh words but it's true for some titles if big or small

and devs in general can be happy releasing a product with it's minimal requirements goal.
not a software engineer myself but i often work closely with them

strong whale
#

okay but optimization can take a shitload of time, devs aren't robots and it's not their fault a lot of people have crap potato's

#

as long as it isn't running worse than it should be it's usually fine

brisk badger
#

then you can't lie about system requirements

strong whale
#

you can't rely on system requirements either

#

you ever see steam's

brisk badger
#

a dev sees the requirements as:
what is needed to start the open (open the .exe)

a customer sees the requirements as:
what do I need to achieve 30fps

#

it's a problem that hopefully will be solved one day. it's very scammy to use the requirements needed to open a game

#

and not what it actually needs to run at acceptable framerate (if 30 is acceptable even)

strong whale
#

like i said though in a lot of cases system requirements are kind of a meme

#

never rely on them

brisk badger
#

very generalized as well. like GTFO shows proper requirements for example (what is needed to enjoy the game)

strong whale
#

minimum doesn't always mean min settings, it means what can run the game without crashing

#

recommended is a different ball game

brisk badger
#

well you have to in some sort. I never was in the sitation of having a garbage computer but if I have to, then system requirements are kinda all you have as security

#

that's what I mean voxel. I hope steam changes that at least

strong whale
#

i had a complete craptop for a long time to game on, never once did i look to system requirements, i looked for benchmarks

radiant garnet
#

features like hair works or that hilarious tessalation fiasco during crysis 2 that absolutely /tanked/ your framerate if you weren't using nvidia.

Correction, it always tanks performance, it's just that it might be 50% slower on Nvidia HW, and 80% slower on AMD. Yes, nvidia has intentionally made effects a lot slower than needed, hurting their own performance because it hurts AMD's performance more... Good news though, in AMD's driver, you can over-ride the max tessellation value, so you get 99% of the looks at 10% the performance in many cases. Last I checked, that's not an option for nvidia's drivers.

strong whale
#

omg i heard about that recently coming up again

#

nvidia holding back amd benchmarks and performance, and in the end it was considered "legal"

radiant garnet
#

@brisk badger Important to mention that minimums does not spesify a resolution. Minimum means minimum. Not 1920x1080 medium. Try 1024x768 very low. Most people aren't willing to go that low.

strong whale
#

this is what i was saying

#

recommended is what you need to have a decent running game

spiral patio
#

But yeah, that's basically my point. Every time I see an Nvidia logo branded onto a game, my first thought it "oh boy how have they tried to fuck me over as an end user this time"

radiant garnet
#

They all cheat, and have cheated in the past. However, Nvidia and intel has cheated a lot more. None is free of sin, but 10 murders doesn't equal 1000 murders either.

strong whale
#

oh yeah intel has made themselves look super pathetic recently while they have been getting pounded by AMD

brisk badger
#

yup. I have there will be some standard rules about system requirements one day

#

We Are AcTuallY gOing To ReALeAse 3nm

good catch with resolution

vapid crypt
#

I don't think they said that, but they have been saying some stupid stuff

strong whale
#

it was either 3 or 5 nm

#

either way intel looks like a beaten puppy rn

vapid crypt
#

Tsmc is legit on path to finish 3nm by 2022 I think

strong whale
#

hmm

#

actually that would probably work very well for phones concerning battery life

vapid crypt
#

And 5nm is apparently yielding better than 7nm starting out

strong whale
#

really?

vapid crypt
#

That's what I heard

strong whale
#

i thought 7nm was around 50% yield or something

vapid crypt
#

Probably is right now

#

I mean relative to when they started developing 7nm when yields were worse

#

5nm is yielding better

strong whale
#

i'm curious why

#

i figured shrinking it more would cause even more problems

radiant garnet
#

Do note; the different company's 'nm' aren't equal. From what I gather, TSMC's 16nm was more or less equal Intel's 22nm, and their 7nm is better than intel 14nm, but not two generations better.

#

nm is mostly a 'marketing term', sadly.

vapid crypt
#

Yeah it's approximations at best

strong whale
#

yeah ik, but like all things companies round off numbers and other things to make them more appealing

vapid crypt
#

7 is closer to 10 whilst also being a more appealing number phaWesker

i can't remember what some of the real measurements were

#

amd i think is a little guilty of this too

radiant garnet
#

No, it's not really a good approximation either; it's more like how other products use 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx etc to denote different generations. Except with semiconductors, less is better! :D

Yo, there are 49 dogs signed up to compete in the dog show. There are 36 more small dogs than large dogs signed up to compete. How many small dogs are signed up to compete?

vague mauve
#

that would require a half dog somewhere right? x+(x+36)=49 which makes x = to 6.5

If it isn’t in the roadmap, do it it’s as a suggestion

#

What the fug is that math, Pixeled.
(x+36)=49
(x+36)-36=(49)-36
x=49-36
x=13

fleet canopy
#

Hm

sick reef
#

Or wait, it's the formula, that I get choked up on. As the term more dogs is used.

#

x+(x+36)=49

#

Because I was blind and didn't see the first x.

#

Apparently then it's acceptable to enter half a dog into a dog show.

@soft zodiac try to create a set up with the steam controller support

#

@sick reef can you solve (8)^(1/3)?

sick reef
#

Was a long time since I did this math.
Solving for it is something like third root.

#

Yeah, wolfram alpha agrees. Third root of 8.

#

Solving for it I can't remember fully though. It's a lot of moving about.

#

Hi there

sick reef
#

x=8^(1/3)

#

Hm

molten acorn
#

Mhm

reef wedge
#

Wow lol its actually 2

sick reef
#

Okay, looking into it, I technically don't need to do more to solve it with a solution, but the proving of that it is a third root derives back to logarithms.
logₐ(N)=x -> N=aˣ
I don't fully remember though, in turning logarithms into square roots.

#

As said, it was a long time since I did this math.

#

As well as in math, solving for something, and finding the solution of, are generally two different things.

#

At least when I did math

#

But yeah, droni, you're welcome to look up what the third root of 8 is.

Not sure tho

I played Exodus for 1 euro on windows xbox app lmfao

radiant garnet
#

@abstract kite if the CPU was colder under full load, that could mean there was more performance available with more speed. How's your CPU performing compared to other 3700x's?

abstract kite
#

@radiant garnet In what regard? As in CPUBenchmark? I havent tested that yet... Doing so now. I hit boost clock just fine when I’m not on full load. Full load I get around 4Ghz because all cores are being utilized at that point.

radiant garnet
#

Then it sounds like it's working as it should..?

Ive undervolted it too

Thats helped knock 1-2C off along with better thermal compound

#

Wow. My entire PC didnt do so well on this benchmark. Ram is running slower speeds, havent enabled XMP yet. My 1070 is, well, old and not running that great. Somehow my SSD is slower than average?

My 3700X tho is apparently one of the faster ones.

#

Ironic

dusty pumice
#

Great succes

#

Might have to download a newer version of EVGA Precision

#

Or my thermal paste could be going bad on my 1070. Ive run it hard for 4 years

#

As far as the SSD goes I have no idea why thats “underperforming”

#

Same goes for the HDD

#

Theyre not overheating

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sick reef

Usually that's temp just being high

Is 30C high for storage drives?

radiant garnet
#

@abstract kite most SSDs perform better the more empty they are. Is you SSD partially full?

brisk badger
#

Asuming TRIM oes not exist on your OS

radiant garnet
#

No, even with trim; less free space means smaller SLC cache, hence lower performance. Even good SSDs will perform better with, say, 25% of the capacity unformated to help performance. Less these days with newer SSDs, but still.

ionic osprey
#

as long as those storage drives dont click like a Compaq Deskpro from the 90's yer gucci

abstract kite
#

@radiant garnet I’ve used a majority of the space lol. Probably have about 120gb available.

radiant garnet
#

@abstract kite Then that might be why your drive is performing 'below average'. I imagine people submitting results do that after getting a part, and before filling it to the brim with things they'll totally use, and sort, tomorrow, or the day after that at the latest!

vapid crypt
#

I need to grab a hard drive to offload some stuff off of my ssd tbh

radiant garnet
#

Considser grabbing an (additional) HDD! They're cheap now if you need 4-8TB or so

vapid crypt
#

I was planning just to grab a 2tb Seagate, I don't think I need too much space tbh

#

But yeah good idea for backing up stuff

radiant garnet
#

A 4TB might be marginally more expensive

vapid crypt
#

I'll consider that for a backup or files I don't refer to often

indigo valve
#

Would a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7300HQ Work good?

radiant garnet
#

That looks like a laptop part.
Do you also have a GPU with that?

#

Also, you only really need the 'Intel 7300HQ' part. Everything else is marketing and doesn't mean anything :3

vapid crypt
#

Someone mentioned having the same cpu, it is a laptop

#

Paired with a 1050

#

Might be the same in this case

radiant garnet
#

I guess the game will run fine then

vapid crypt
#

The base clock is 2.5ghz and they were getting about 30fps

radiant garnet
#

Settings and resolution?

vapid crypt
#

1080 low, I think they said it only went up to around 40 at 720

strong whale
#

on a 1050?

vapid crypt
#

Yeah, in a laptop to be fair. Thermals are gonna play a decent role

strong whale
#

very true

#

probably a nitro 5 or something

indigo valve
#

'Paired with a 1050' wdym by that i aint really a Component expert

vapid crypt
#

A GTX 1050, that's the GPU well tbh I don't know if that's what you have. But its what the other guy had

indigo valve
#

How do i check?

vapid crypt
#

Are you using Windows 10?

indigo valve
#

vapid crypt
#

Open up settings, its the Cog in the start menu

#

Oh wait its not in there phaSheva

#

Well okay likely if you were to right click on your desktop you would have an nvidia option there

indigo valve
#

I am on laptop

vapid crypt
#

I understand, by desktop I mean where your program shortcuts and wallpaper is you know

indigo valve
#

Ok boss

#

I opened it

#

Geforce GTX 1050

vapid crypt
#

Okay, yeah I guess expect similar performance like I mentioned earlier. Someone with the same specs got 30fps at 1080 low and around 40 at 720

indigo valve
#

But its playable?

brisk badger
#

pro tip: You can buy the game and return if it doesn't run

vapid crypt

@stiff rock medium or high can work if you have a good cpu

allright thanks

My motherboard wont fucking overclock my ram for some fucking reason

but this is what we're doing with the CPU

AIDA64 is kinda wack with CPU temps

so I have two other pieces of software monitoring it for me as well

we're not getting past 84 on average

we're not getting past 84 on average so that's really good

Ram support can be kind of shitty depending on the motherboard

abstract kite
#

I have an X570 Aorus Master, I doubt it has ram issues.

vapid crypt
#

You gotta look at the manufacturer qvl

abstract kite
#

"Just enable XMP they said. It'll be fun they said"

#

Might have to manually finagle it

vapid crypt
#

Well what ram do you have?

abstract kite
#

G Skill Trident Z Neo

#

Good for 3600mhz

#

its still running at 2133 according to task manager

vapid crypt
#

What's the part number for the ram?

#

It would be on the barcode I think on the packaging

fleet canopy
#

Yeah it’s on barcode

vapid crypt
#

Something like F4-3600 etc etc

fleet canopy
#

You can take the casing off it, and find a small sticker on the side with barcode and all that

vapid crypt
#

Its the only way to confirm if its listed on the manufacturer's QVL

ivory comet
#

When I built my ryzen machine I had to manually set my ram at 3000 mhz in bios

#

And xmp was already enabled, using strix b450 f

vapid crypt
#

I have a 3k kit too, but the motherboard I have doesn't support past 2933... so I'm like okay phaWesker

ivory comet
#

Lmaooo

vapid crypt
#

Its fine cause I just got the Cas latency down to 14

#

Well specifically with this ram I guess, if it were better ram it would work phaRage

abstract kite

Just checked

its C16 3600

vapid crypt
#

That's the Latency and Speed but not the part number

ivory comet
#

Isnt the part number on the sticker on the ram stick

vapid crypt
#

Its typically also a sticker on the packaging

fleet canopy

Yeah

But if you oofed the packaging, you got RAM

32gb 3200mhz cas 14. best sweetspot

#

I could only get cas 16 though 🙃

#

Im still tryna get this workin

north bronze
#

Went for 2x8GB 3600C16

abstract kite
#

but gigabyte bioses are shite, regardless if they have the best vrms etc

north bronze
abstract kite
#

good its about the same anyway anyone in their right mind should go for cas16 as its way cheaper

north bronze
#

3600C16 is cheaper than 3200C14 so yeah better to go for the former

abstract kite
#

i paid 450 euro for this ram

#

couldve paid HALF

north bronze
#

90E + 15E shipping for the 16gb

abstract kite
#

if you got money cas 14 is worth it for mininum.and avarage framerates

#

thats only showing 1800mhz @north bronze or am I reading that wrong

north bronze
#

double it

abstract kite
#

i like good frametimings so yeah invest in best of best ram you can afford

#

Fair

#

working out for me tbh

#

i cant remember what my ram was at lol

north bronze
#

you do need XMP for 3600 but tbh who cares, works gr8

abstract kite
#

XMP is fine.

fleet canopy
#

I’m pretty sure it’s like 3200CAS14 is much better than 3600CAS16 from what I’ve heard

abstract kite
#

most people should 100% stay with xmp profiles

#

if they dont work, update/fix ur bios

#

I manually overclocked my old ram

#

but xmp is what got me buying the gskill

#

well if you get cas 14 ram and a good kit you automaticly are going to get a ram that is a good overclocker

#

cos they already a more cherry pick stick for that speeds.

#

overclocking ram manually is really hard and difficult and not recommended unless you are someone who knows what they are doing

#

you can mess with voltages and speeds and leave timings alone if you cant get xmp to work. is ur best shot m8

vapid crypt
#

@abstract kite That ram is not on the Aorus Master QVL list

radiant garnet
#

Speaking of CAS and MHz, the thing that really matters is true latency vs bandwidth.
Take (2/GHz) * CAS and you get the latency, in nano-seconds. Less is better
MHz is raw bandwidth, more is better.
CAS is latency in clock cycles.
For a quick and dirty estimate, take MHz / CAS. This gives you the 'latency performance' number that's arbitrary. Higher is better, aim for 200 or more. 250 is about the best money can buy.
3200MHz CAS14 is exactly the same latency as 3600MHz CAS16,

#

When comparing kits, if the latency is the same, but the bandwidth is higher, that's better. If bandwidth is the same, but latency is lower, that's better.
If neither is different, use the 'latency performance' to compare. MHz / CL, more is better. If latency is within 10, but there's a difference in bandwidth, go for bandwidth. In most applications, that'll make the bigger difference.

#

Oh, and do make sure to run the infinity fabric at 1800MHz, unless RAM is 133MHz away or less. That's the 'real clock' not effective speed; 3200MHz RAM is 1600MHz real clock with double-data-rate, DDR

abstract kite
#

@vapid crypt So I'll need to manually overclock it right?

#

Still nothing lmao

#

ok so i need to know something... i live in Iran located in middle east and my internet is restricted. so i want to make sure if i can play this game with a playable ping and without using a 'vpn' connection (because some games are blocked for me and i have to use vpn connection). can someone help me to find out?

vapid crypt

Yeah it seems the ram just doesn't work with that board ReversedConfusedUlf

abstract kite
#

Thats bullshit

#

So, no matter what I do, I can't get this ram to be running faster?

vapid crypt
#

Likely faster than 2133 but I dunno

#

That's literally any speed

#

Strange phaSheva

abstract kite
#

I'm not even sure what I should adjust in the BIOS to even attempt to get this running at 3600mhz outside of changing the clock speed.

vapid crypt
#

Try setting XMP and lowering the clocks

abstract kite
#

XMP automatically wants it to be at 3600 CL16-18-18-32-48 iirc or something like that

#

But then we boot into windows, and it doesnt work.

vapid crypt
#

Just out of curiosity, the sticks are occupying slots 2 and 4 correct?

abstract kite
#

Yup

#

Wait

#

1 and 3

#

Theyre still paired

vapid crypt
#

Check your motherboard instructions

Cause most modern motherboards use 2 and 4 for just one dual channel kit
