#

this is my first time

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

And get the motherboard model number while you're in there

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

how i can send pic here

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

Need a few more posts for that

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

ok

#

i give you the numer

#

number

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

Yes

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

ABA159403048

#

if it is this ><

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

Mmmm, no

#

maybe

#

Yeah, that doesn't help unfortunately

#

SHould be something like B550m-g4S or something

#

Or B450M

#

etc

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

it isASROCK B460M PRO4S/AC

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

YES

#

Fastest ram is DDR-2933

#

$ sticks

#

*4

#

You have 6 Sata connectors + 2 M.2 slots

#

So a total of of 7 drives

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

FOR I5 ?

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

Yes

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

so i can put to SSD?

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

You can have 2 NVME drives

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

and RAM 3000?

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

And 5 SATA SSD/hard drives

#

Yes, DDR4-3000 RAM

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

when i check they put only 2666

#

they say this is the maximum for i5 core

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

Well yeah, you have to pay extra for faster ram

#

What processor?

#

I5 what, do you know?

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

10400F

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

Ah

#

it is yeah

#

Motherboard supports 2933, processor only 2666

#

But you can add plenty of drives

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

OK

#

so if i will buy i can only buy 2666?

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

Yes

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

^ to add, 2666mt/s is what intel officially supports, although 3200mt/s will likely work, its considered overclocking and not guaranteed

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

Nope

#

Processor doesn't support more than 2666

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

i.e. overclocking

#

it depends on the motherboard if it supports xmp etc

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

that motherboard wont go above 2933 and the multiplier on the 10400F is locked so 2666 is about it unless you get a Z board also it could be argued there isnt much difference bewteen 2666 cl14 and 3200 cl16

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

which isnt supported on B series boards, that's a mobo limitation not cpu

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

its a combination

#

the multiplier is locked on the cpu and the board only supports 2933 that cpu could get 3200 on a Z board

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

the memory multiplier isnt locked on the cpu, its locked on the motherboard

#

which is why you need z

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

nope

#

its locked on the cpu

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

that's wrong lol

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

the cpu multiplier

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

thank yooou

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

cpu multiplier is, i'm not talking about that

#

memory isnt the same multiplier

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

but it affects how fast the memory can go....

#

hence the cap of 3200

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

3200 isnt even a cap, 2666 is the max supported speed by the cpu because of the binning of the IMC on that chip

#

although its unlikely to go much faster, might not even hit 3000

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

I mean I guess technically the 10400F could have memory as fast as 3722 but thats the absolute limit unless you can up the cpu multiplier since it directly affects the speed of the ram

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

I don't think cpu and memory multiplier are tied together anymore like they were on old cpus that has fsb

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

or do you not agree that the base clock effects both the ram and the cpu speed?

#

to a degree that is true its not as tied together as it used to be but the base clock is still used by both

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

the base clock yes, but the multipliers are separate

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

no longer on a 1:1 basis like it was

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

I was just saying that guy up there could get 3200 ram if he got a different board, it would probably work, but would be considered overclocking and is not guaranteed

#

because the only guarantee on that setup is 2666

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

oh well thats true for sure

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

and it might not even be worth it, maybe some frametime lows improvements, but that'd be about it

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

I thought you were more blanket saying the cpu speed had no affect on the ram speed what so ever

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

well intel usually pairs lower quality imc with the lower quality cpu cores, so in a way they're sold that way on purpose

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

The board won't go faster than 2933 anyway

#

Even OC

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

yeah I didnt realize he was saying he could get a "z" board

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

Well, in this guys situation, new motherboard isn't an option

#

he's locked at 2666

pastel monolith Dec 22, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

but like I said earlier some cl14 2666 is pretty comparable to 3200 cl16 anyway

#

especially on intel since it doesnt really care about ram speed

tough wyvern Dec 22, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Does anyone know offhand if there is a way to kindly ask your 5900x to actually throttle down when doing non-stressful tasks? Or is this just a fun quirk of the CPU we have to live with?

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

what ram you thinki buy

#

think*

#

for 2666

#

2*8gb

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

Ryzen Master, install it. Then use the WIndows Power Profile to tweak the CPU power profile

tough wyvern Dec 22, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

My ostensibly 3.7Ghz CPU is running at 4.98Ghz pretty much constantly in windows, which is pretty great, but I don’t need that for word, so it’s just generating heat for no reason.

#

I will try that. thank you @elfin warren

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

WOw, 2666 is just as expensive as 3600

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

my MB don't accept more

#

what i can do ><

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

i don't have that much budget

#

i just buy this one

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

Well, unfortunately, DDR4-2666 isn't any cheaper than faster ram

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

i can but higher ram ?

#

put*

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

You can but it's going to run at the slower speed

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

even though it will get 2666

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

SO king of a waste

#

*kind

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

but it will be good for future upgrad

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

Well, if $60 is too much, faster ram is more expensive by a tad

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

rather to buy 2666 now and then when i upgrade i buy higher

#

if same price

#

what do you suggest

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

Well

#

Since you'll have to get a new motherboard and CPU to use faster ram anyway, just get the speed you need

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

but i will not upgrade now may be with the next BF

#

deals

#

such i buy this pc

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

My point is, you'll have to upgrade everything anyway, so just get what you neednow

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

i am thinking next BF to upgrade my GPU and RAM

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

You can't

#

Got it

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

mmm

#

so i have to add MB too

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

I mean, in order to use faster ram, you need a new CPU and new motherboard

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

also CPU?

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Yes

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

oh

tough wyvern Dec 22, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Annnnd now my CPU is running 12° cooler, thank you vintage 🙂

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

CPU is limited to 2666. Motherboard is limited to 2933

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

what a waste i but this pc

#

buy*

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

Not really

#

If it does what you need it to, it's not waste

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

so if i what to upgrade i have to buy other pc batter than changing hhhh

#

want*

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

If that PC does what you need it to, it's fine.

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

just for playing and youtube and like that

#

i can add one more RAM 2666 even it different manufacture?

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

If it's just for youtube and stuff

#

No need to upgrade anything

#

Games maybe

#

But probably fine for a while

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

ok

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

humble wasp i can add one more RAM 2666 even it different manufacture?

?

#

sorry for much Q ><

elfin warren Dec 22, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

Best to not mix ram brands. MOST of the time it will work but sometimes it creates issues

humble wasp Dec 22, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

ok i buy 2 batter

#

thank you

@sacred iris what's ur problem more specifially?

#

you got a new cpu and now ur pc isnt working?

sacred iris Dec 22, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

K just got a new cpu installed it and when the cpu latch is all the way down no power goes to my pc how ever if I leave the latch like half way it sends power

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

@sour musk what

sour musk Dec 22, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

@sacred iris needs help

#

and i dont know how to help him so.....

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

sacred iris K just got a new cpu installed it and when the cpu latch is all the way down no ...

Well that makes no sense whatsoever

#

Are all the pins straight

magic cedar Dec 22, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

huh

sacred iris Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

Ya I checked that the pins are straight as far as I can tell I see no paste in the socket or on the pins

magic cedar Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

how is that even possible

sacred iris Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

Idk

magic cedar Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

the latch does nothing

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

sour musk is it worth upgrading a i3 9100f to a ryzen 7 2700x?

go for 9700k instead

magic cedar Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

it just holds ur cpu in place

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

or like 9400f

sacred iris Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

I can send a vid real quick

magic cedar Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

doesnt put pressure or anything

#

did u insert right way?

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

magic cedar doesnt put pressure or anything

Actually it does

sacred iris Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

I think so

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

It locks the cpu into place

sour musk Dec 22, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

@naive pendant people say the 9700k isnt worth it and ii dont have a oc board

On the Intel side a 9700k

but will the i7 7700k be okay till i get a new cpu?

sour musk Dec 22, 2020, 7:35 PM

@naive pendantwell cpu only if intel

naive pendant Dec 22, 2020, 7:35 PM

I guess but it will be holding the 3080 back by a lot

#

@tribal crown

#

Need at least 9700k to get full potential

tribal crown Dec 22, 2020, 7:36 PM

yeah its because my brother is building new pc and then i can sell my 1080 to him and get like alot so the 3080 would be at a nice discount and then i would not need to upgrade gpu for a long time....

sour musk Dec 22, 2020, 7:37 PM

@tribal crown i wouldnt say alot you could get 200-300

but i guuess that is alot so .....

I bought a Asrock B450m pro 4 this month from newegg. Can anyone tell me what version of Bios will be installed? My understanding is I need this to determine what CPU's are supported. I am considering Athlon 3000g or Ryzen 3 3200G. Will these work?

elfin warren Dec 23, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

Ryzen 3000 will be fine

#

It's Ryzen 5000 that will need the update

jaunty thunder Dec 23, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

what about the Athlon?

#

The CPU support list says it needs P3.60

elfin warren Dec 23, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

That BIOS is from 2019, I just checked

#

You'll be fine

jaunty thunder Dec 23, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

Do you know what version it will ship with?

elfin warren Dec 23, 2020, 3:32 PM

No, no way to tell really

k. Thank you

elfin warren Dec 23, 2020, 3:33 PM

But the 3200G is the better processor anyway so I'd shoot for that one

Hey guys, I'd like to ask, what are the features in motherboards I should look for? and what are the ones that are just gimmicks or marketing strategies?

#

So far, what I know is VRM

elfin warren Dec 23, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

VRM is over rated, unless you're overclocking a 5950x/3950x, most motherboard VRM is fine

#

Figure out how many SATA and USB ports you want

#

And processor/ram speed

#

And buy mobo that accomodates

ruby laurel Dec 23, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

sata ports cringe and unbased

#

nvme slots are what matters keeeeek

wise phoenix Dec 23, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

I won't be using NVME though, I'll be using SATA SSD, and as for USB, I think I'll be fine with 3 or 4?

#

What else should I look out for if not VRM? and what do you mean by ram speed? Does that mean not all mobo can run the ram speed my ram has?

ruby laurel Dec 23, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

wise phoenix I won't be using NVME though, I'll be using SATA SSD, and as for USB, I think I'...

dont use a sata ssd

#

problem solved

elfin warren Dec 23, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

Yes

#

Some motherboard will only run 2933 but the processor can run 4000, for example

wise phoenix Dec 23, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

elfin warren Some motherboard will only run 2933 but the processor can run 4000, for example

sorry, what do you mean 4000?

elfin warren Dec 23, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

DDR4-4000

wise phoenix Dec 23, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

Oh okay, so if I have a 3600mhz ram, I should look for mobos that will be able to run up to that speed?

elfin warren Dec 23, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

Yes

#

Processors too

#

For example, 10400K maxes out at 2666 mhz

wise phoenix Dec 23, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

Oh, didn't know that, so let's say I would like to run my r3 3300x at 4ghz, I should look for a mobo that will be able to support up to that speed?

elfin warren Dec 23, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

CPU speed =/= to ram speed

wise phoenix Dec 23, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

Oh okay

#

Other than CPU and RAM speeds, VRM, SATA ports, any other stuffs?

#

Like, features that are gonna be nifty but not really needed

ruby laurel Dec 23, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

and fr dont use sata

#

sucks

wise phoenix Dec 23, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

SSD SATA? Why not?

#

May I ask why Sata SSD is not worth the money?

elfin warren Dec 23, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

It's fine

#

Cheaper than NVME

#

Loading times for OS and Games the same

wise phoenix Dec 23, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

Oh okay, well that's all I need, I don't need extremely fast loading times

#

Wanna see the loading screen too sometimes

ruby laurel Dec 23, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

elfin warren Cheaper than NVME

by $5 or less most of the time

#

some nvme drives are cheaper than sata ones as well

#

games are gonna need faster storage soon

#

only reason why they havent required super fast storage is because consoles still used laptop 5400rpm drives

#

but now that theyre on ssd i think the faster the better

#

for new games

wise phoenix Dec 23, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

Ohh okay

ruby laurel Dec 23, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

like its cheaper but do u rly not want to have 5x the speed for $5 extra?

naive pendant Dec 23, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

Will the cpu limit the ram’s speed if it can’t use all of it?

wise phoenix Dec 23, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

ruby laurel like its cheaper but do u rly not want to have 5x the speed for $5 extra?

Unfortunately in my country, it's not 5$

like 300 more of whatever that is

for nvme

#

idk how much that is in real money tho

wise phoenix Dec 23, 2020, 4:53 PM

Hey guys,

I have a quick question about RAM compatibility with the latest Ryzen CPUs (5950X build).

I'm looking to get two 16GB sets rated for 4000MHz. I found a set of G. Skill Trident Z Royal at C17 however Newegg states it's best paired with Z390/Z490. It's an Intel XMP chipset.

Now this is a dumb question, I know, but would these be able to work or do I have to keep searching?

Thank you in advance

naive pendant Is the steel legend b550 pairable with a ryzen 9? It looked fine to me but some ...

Yes

#

in general a 5 star 160$ b450-b550 should support and processor on the socket

#

Otherwise its a bad product that shouldn

#

't deserve 5 star

#

Well I mean it is a 160$ board being paired with a 500$ cpu

aslong as its not an A320 A520 or a B350 the power phases should be fine for an r9 regardless

you would have to be overclocking for it to matter

even then a generic 5 star 160$ or higher board will do it

Quick question about RGB fans and This specific motherboard. If my case is the phanteks p500a with 3 rbg fans and i use an aio (MAG CORELIQUID 360R) with rgb. Am i missing rgb headers?

#

I only see these headers on the discription

#

1 x 3-pin Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header
2 x 4-pin AURA RGB Headers

Yo is it worth getting the 10900k over the 10850k

#

It’s priced at 399 and 499 usd here

tranquil silo Dec 24, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

no

#

just oc the 10850k

ruby laurel Dec 24, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

only if u like the prestige of having the higher specced option lol

narrow mortar Dec 24, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

@severe thicket it is not worth then10850 is like 95% of a 10900k, so 25% more money for 5% more performance....up to you if it's worth it, but it's not from a frame per dollar sense.

ruby laurel Dec 24, 2020, 10:15 PM

jokes aside its not worth it since they oc around the same

assuming if u run stock

#

which no one who buys a k series cpu should do

narrow mortar Dec 24, 2020, 10:16 PM

@ruby laurel you'd be surprised how many people talk a good game and never actually overclock...

true haha

but

im saying you prolly should

#

i still need to tune my oc a bit more

what mobo and cpu would be the best combo for 600 dollars if upgrading from z270 mobo and i7 7700k cpu?

outer epoch Dec 24, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

I have plans of buying a rtx 3070, but i have a little bit hard to find a cpu matching what i want. :)
I was thinking about a 5600x because it was fine in both programs and games.
But i don't know...
Is it the best to buy or any ideas for around the same price?

toxic skiff Dec 24, 2020, 11:32 PM

tribal crown what mobo and cpu would be the best combo for 600 dollars if upgrading from z270...

600 for both parts?

elfin warren Dec 24, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

Probs ram too

#

better speeds

tribal crown Dec 25, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

toxic skiff 600 for both parts?

600 in total

toxic skiff Dec 25, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Are you looking for more CPU power or more MOBO stuff?

tribal crown Dec 25, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

More cpu i want more performance but still a nice looking and good mobo that supports 3600 mhz ram speed

toxic skiff Dec 25, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

Hmm

#

I would look at getting a 9900 cpu

#

Maybe a 9700

#

Theyre still relatively cheap (~300ish)

#

And you can get a decent mobo for it

minor heath Dec 25, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

any thoughts on this mobo?

are event ID 20 errors while testing ram bad

#

WHEA errors

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

@fresh river it is not your RAM. It is a CPU related error.

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

I cannot imagine or find what issue it could have

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

Usually this means your CPU is not getting enough voltage or can’t maintain clock speed at that voltage

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

so I need to OC the voltage?

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

Try increasing the voltage

#

Yea

#

Just a little

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

I will, thanks

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

Don’t do huge jump.

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

by how much>

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

Just small increment

#

Report back to me to see if it fixed the error.

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 7:57 AM

#

will do

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 7:57 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 7:58 AM

#

how do i start bios from settings again lmao sorry

#

nvm

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 7:58 AM

#

You got it now?

#

Just restart PC then press delete key or f10 or f12 depending on your pc to enter bios.

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

I had to do it from settings cause it boots too fast

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

Not if you spam button before it boots

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

I do lol

#

its easier from settings anyways

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

no errors so far

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

Did you increase the voltage?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

I took the voltage off auto and put it on override, increased minimum to 1.29 iirc

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

It was at 1.28?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

it was on auto

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

Oh

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

and it hovered around 1.27 in bios

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

So you went up 0.02 volts?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

2 whea errors so far, significantly less

#

oh now theres a lot more

#

jesus

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

Huh

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

yeah I did

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

Ok

#

So did that fix the errors?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

nope still a lot of whea errors lol

#

but a lot less

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

Then increase voltage a little more

#

Try 1.3 volts

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

ill go to 1.31 prolly

#

ok 1.3

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

1.31 is gonna get hot depending on the chip and cooler

#

What’s your chip?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

5600x

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

Ok

#

Do you have a good cooler?

#

Did you overclock it also?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

And h100i, never seen the chip for above 60°C

#

And no other OCING

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

Dang

#

Ok did 1.3 volts remove these errors completely?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

Just making sure this is correct right

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

📎 image0.jpg

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

Yup that is 1.3 volts

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:08 AM

#

Override is the right mode I’m assuming

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:08 AM

#

What modes do you have?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:08 AM

#

Offset, and then offset and override

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:08 AM

#

Override is correct then

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:09 AM

#

Alright

#

Testing rn

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:09 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:09 AM

#

Jesus CPU spiked to 100% usage fast

#

No wonder discord is laggy

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

Ok

#

What spiked the cpu?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

1 error so far

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

The test

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

I’m assuming

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

How much error while you were using 1.29 volts?

#

And how much errors at 1.27 volts?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

Hundreds in a minute about

#

No exact number

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:11 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:11 AM

#

In the 1:30 I ran at 1.29 it had 104

#

It just went from 1 to 102 errors rn

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:11 AM

#

Try amping the voltage to 1.31 to see if fixed it

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:11 AM

#

Temps are fine though

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:11 AM

#

Good

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

Back to bios

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

You want to make sure temp is good while taking voltage up

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

Yeah

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

Ok

#

Try increasing voltage until you get no errors

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

Will do, what’s the max voltage do you think until I should stop

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:14 AM

#

1.35-1.4

#

That’s safe voltage

#

Just don’t jump too high

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:14 AM

#

1.3125 time

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:14 AM

#

If that don’t work you got to move to ram for voltage

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:14 AM

#

The RAM is technically OC’d but only to advertised speeds

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

Hm

#

Try running it at stock and not overclocked

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

After this voltage test

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:17 AM

#

Back to 102 errors

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

Ok

#

Did you increase the RAM voltage?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

I’m gonna run RAM at stock and see first

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

Ok

#

Maybe you have a RAM that is binned lower

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:19 AM

#

Then I’m gonna return it

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

Ok

#

But first

#

Test the ram at stock then increased voltage

#

It is a hassle to return now because shipping has been slow

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

Yeah that’s true, also wanted a 32GB kit though

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

So you are basically upgrading?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

I think it might be binned lower

#

Yeah I am

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

No errors and it’s at 2133

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

So did you try stock settings?

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

Yep

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

So stock settings works

#

Overclock and it gets errors?

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

Running it a bit longer just to make sure

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

Yep to 3600, I didn’t progressively increase I went straight to 3600 at the beginning

#

Yeah still no errors

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

Ok

#

Stock setting works well then

#

So if you want to go back to 3600 you may have to increase RAM voltage

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

I’ll see rn

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

It could be a weak RAM chip

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

Reset or keep CPU voltage?

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

Reset

#

We know it is not cpu repeated

#

Related*

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

Yeah true

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

After all these tests

#

Your just adding temp with those settings on cpu

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

Should I test it all stock with stock voltage and stock frequenc

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

So let’s I’ve to ram voltage

#

Sure

#

Go ahead

#

Tell me how it went

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:28 AM

#

No errors

#

So far with stock voltage and mem

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:28 AM

#

Ok

#

Definitely not cpu related

#

All on the ram

#

So try overclocking with increased voltage

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

DRAM voltage right?

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

Yup

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

It’s at 1.188, going to 1.2 on 3600mhz

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

Well

#

I’m getting no signal now lol

#

No debug light, should I restart my pc

#

Well I messed something up my monitor is getting no input

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

Ok

#

Hmmm

#

Try 1.19 volts

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

CPU failure

#

I csnt boot into bios

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

:/

#

What?

#

There is no way your cpu broke

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:35 AM

#

My debug light is on for CPU

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:35 AM

#

Ok

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:35 AM

#

No idea what to do lol

#

Clear CMOS?

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:48 AM

#

Yea

#

Best bet is to clear cmos

#

And run whole rig at stock settings

#

Seems like overclock will never be stable and the ram is lowly binned

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

i cleared cmos

#

it runs now

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 8:56 AM

#

Ok

#

I guess all you can do is run all at stock settings

#

Clearly your ram is binned low

fresh river Dec 25, 2020, 8:58 AM

#

im gonna return it prolly

warm path Dec 25, 2020, 9:16 AM

#

Ok

#

And go ahead and go for the 32GB kit

#

Cross your fingers it is a good binned set

#

@fresh river sorry I couldn’t help fix the errors on Overclocked settings
