maybe I'd say screw it and find an xtx

#

cause if I am going to watercool I want to go all out with a zen6 x3d ngl

#

unless 12+ core 9000x3d is really good

strange flume
#

It almost never is unless you have a hardware issue with the cooler

#

Like failing heatpipes

#

Dead fans

#

It also makes reselling more annoying

knotty sparrow
#

Yes that was the original source, but it does make sense and now there's more than him reporting it

vocal fable
#

11900X3D and a 7900 XTX would be an insane combo

#

could almost run gta 6 at 60 fps!

knotty sparrow
#

We already have zen 5c which has 16 cores per CCD

#

That's on upcoming epyc chips

vocal fable
#

9000x3d wont have any changes to core layout correct

knotty sparrow
#

Correct it's the same as previous gens

strange flume
#

I think I have a current leak somewhere

#

My KS PC is doing the 7950X3D crap @knotty sparrow

#

It's stuttering

#

Maybe it's the extra monitor

#

Hmm

#

Nope

knotty sparrow
#

Possible, I've been getting monitor flicker on my secondary too. I need to try that fix buildzoid talked about on a recent vid.

strange flume
#

No it's not the monitor

knotty sparrow
#

Which is pretty much just "set tRAS to 120 because it doesn't affect performance"

vocal fable
#

oh we are level 3 now thats neat

#

good job me

strange flume
#

It's not the camera

#

The heck

#

I might need to DDU maybe

#

Getting microstutter but not probalance

#

Heh, All that fun with the monitors might ahve caught up with me

knotty sparrow
#

If they can pack 60% more into the same space it would track that they can pack 50% more cores onto a CCD

strange flume
#

Microstutter

#

Angeryyyy

#

Yeah I messed with the driver too much rip

knotty sparrow
#

I can wait until the end of next year when it'll be finally available with consistent stock 4 months after launch

vocal fable
#

I'd deadass wait outside microcenter for something like a 11950x3d or whatever its gonna be called

knotty sparrow
#

That would be a 24c/48t monstrosity

vocal fable
#

espically if I stay on my 7600 until then

strange flume
#

It'll be good though the core count won't be the main reason

#

The IMC change will be

#

We've had the same IMC since 5000

knotty sparrow
#

Right the IO die is getting upgraded too

vocal fable
#

IMC?

knotty sparrow
#

Integrated Memory Controller

strange flume
#

Ryzen is primarily bandwidth limited

#

An IMC change will do a lot

vocal fable
#

me whenever i talk to u both ^

strange flume
#

Esp. when it's been IMC limited for several gens

weary raft
#

there are so many acronyms for everything fr

knotty sparrow
#

Decoupling the fclk from uclk was a big step forward too

#

If you run fast enough you can viably do uclk div2 mode without a real latency penalty

weary raft
#

not exactly the same industry, but there was a paper written about how papers had too many very technical acronyms that you're expected to know, but you have to be an industry veteran in that specific area of study to even understand the terms without looking it up KEKW

strange flume
#

My favourite acronym is the TWAIN printing tech

knotty sparrow
#

My favorite is PHP

#

It goes around in an infinite loop

#

PHP
Hypertext
Preprocessor

strange flume
#

TWAIN and TWAIN Direct are application programming interfaces (APIs) and communication protocols that regulate communication between software and digital imaging devices, such as image scanners and digital cameras. TWAIN is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
The three key elements of TWAIN are:

Application software. For example...

#

a strange topic for the cooling channel

#

also rip

knotty sparrow
#

Wind can be used for cooling ig

deep aspen
#

true

#

i didnt check what channel i was in tbf

deep aspen

i just opened wegg

crazy comment lmao

knotty sparrow

We've been off topic for a while now it's all good lol

i checked the path

strange flume
#

Even the invisible ones can be dangerous

deep aspen
#

the supercell went DIRECTLY over our complex

it just never touched ground

weary raft

yalls houses really be sitting on sticks

strange flume
deep aspen
deep aspen
#

lol

strange flume
#

Yeah mobile homes are often the site of many tragedies

weary raft
#

i wonder how many houses in the neighbourhood was tornado proof/resistant

knotty sparrow
#

The Sacramento river is flooded right now (we finally got the rain we were missing from the last 2 months... all at once) and people are refusing to follow the evacuation orders. Homes are washing away. Hope they're doing ok but it could be a darwin award moment.

deep aspen
#

if it had touched down where we were with how strong it was there is a very strong chance i wouldnt be here talking to yall right now

weary raft
#

or had a tornado shelter i mean

strange flume

felix

#

how do you do this

deep aspen
#

more images from it, it tore straight through concrete

strange flume

vocal fable
#

give me that face leak

weary raft
#

i've broken windows so many times

#

i have never seen this screen

knotty sparrow
#

You'd think you'd learn to stop throwing rocks at them

strange flume
#

ME NEITHER

weary raft
#

real

strange flume
#

I DIDN'T THROW SH

#

HOW

#

I just went to ddu lolWAT

knotty sparrow
#

Well it's pretty much just loading a restore point so be ready for no image and going back to safe mode ๐Ÿ’€

weary raft
#

felix teaches me new methods of breaking a computer every month

#

or rather

#

ways a computer can break every month

#

because i still have no clue how it happens

#

i just know it can happen now

strange flume
#

Ok I'm back in

#

That was weird af

#

Pc seems fine

#

But IDK WHAT HAPPENED

weary raft
#

felix, the professional of causing avant-garde pc problems

strange flume
#

They should pay me to beta test crap

weary raft
#

you'll be so unlucky that you'll find no problems

#

and then they'll release it and it explodes for everyone else

vocal fable
knotty sparrow
#

He gets the weirdest issues that no one has ever seen before

strange flume
#

Ok I found the microstutter issue

#

Apparently the windows rollback thing is cos I triggered safe mode

#

My microstutter is coming from my hdmi cable

weary raft
#

I knew it
HDMI sucks frfr

knotty sparrow
#

And it wasn't happening before? Weird timing

weary raft
#

Dp superiority

#

Tbh
I prefer SDI over display port, but nobody is making a SDI GPU, at least for gaming or whatever
Nor any monitors with it (for desktop use)

knotty sparrow
#

Bring back the USB C port on the GPU

#

We have monitors that can use that as video input now

#

80Gbps link with the right cable

weary raft
#

True

#

And psvr2 can use it as well

strange flume
#

Yep I have a dead hdmi cable

#

Old xbox one

#

It's not dead dead but it's causing massive stutters specifically

#

I don't even wanna unplug it ugh

#

But I isolated it to the cable

#

Damn

#

Maybe that's what was causing that weird fan crap ages ago

#

Just now it's like really noticeable

knotty sparrow
#

Problem only Felix has #3586

strange flume
weary raft
#

I'm learning of even more weird tech problems of Felix

strange flume
#

I'd plug my cables up and I'd have no power in the KS rig

#

But one of the fans

#

Would start spinning

weary raft
#

Wh

#

How

strange flume
#

You ask me how and I give you dead xbox cable

#

Probably

weary raft
#

I don't want your cursed technology

#

What if it's contagious

strange flume
#

It's not contagious smh

weary raft
#

I have no proof that it isnt otherwise

strange flume
#

You do

#

Look at the other 5 computers that are perfectly fine in my vicinity

weary raft
#

Maybe they've been exposed so long that they've developed antibodies

strange flume
#

Dude the cable that died is like 12 years old

#

I am not surprised it finally kicked

knotty sparrow
#

I've got a fun one. Vista era computer, new PSU.
Computer refuses to turn on fully, it power cycles infinitely whenever you press the power button.
Change PSU. Same problem. Change CPU. Same problem. Change motherboard. Same problem. Change RAM. SAME PROBLEM.
Nothing is plugged in except power from the wall, 24 pin, and EPS. It's an entirely different computer at this point, still infinitely power cycles.

weary raft
#

Yeah
12 years ago the antibodies didn't exist

strange flume
#

I figured out what it was

#

Cable vdroop

weary raft
#

Yes it's the same ship

#

It still don't work

knotty sparrow
strange flume
#

If the 12v is too low then a pc won't even try to boot properly

strange flume
#

Change monitor?

#

Change all cables?

#

Change all peripherals?

knotty sparrow
#

Nothing is plugged in

weary raft
#

Swap the case frfr

#

The PC thinks it's too ugly

knotty sparrow
#

Same issue straight from wall as on the power bar

strange flume
#

Same power point?

strange flume
knotty sparrow
#

I literally took my known good CX650 out of my server, including the known good wall cable, and it still cycled

knotty sparrow
#

I plugged my server into the same outlet, it worked fine

#

Unplugged everything else from that outlet pair too

strange flume
#

But you had the minimum kbm and monitor right

#

You can't post without input devices

#

No video is a post error, so is no keeb

#

99 and 92

knotty sparrow
#

I had a PS/2 keyboard, it posts without a monitor

weary raft
#

Id imagine you aren't using a psu with a manual voltage selector and you aren't running it on the 220v sstting

strange flume
#

Same storage?

knotty sparrow
#

It did before

#

Storage unplugged

strange flume
#

Same fans?

knotty sparrow
#

Fans unplugged except CPU cooler, which was also swapped

strange flume
#

So you posted with same keeb?

knotty sparrow
#

It works on other computers and worked on that computer before

strange flume
#

But not now right

#

Have you tried another one

knotty sparrow
#

No keyboard works right now, it shuts off before it gets to initialize anything

#

Less than one second of power

#

Then cycles

#

Off, on for one second, off...

strange flume
#

But no monitor at all?

#

Eh

knotty sparrow
#

With or without monitor, VGA and HDMI

#

Onboard GPU and PCIe

strange flume
#

Is the case the same

weary raft
#

Hmmm....

strange flume
#

In fact

#

Is the case the same and you use the buttons

knotty sparrow
#

Yes but I also tested with just a motherboard box

#

See I thought button too and jumped the pins

#

Still cycles

strange flume
#

Did you remount the cooler

knotty sparrow
#

Multiple times

strange flume
#

Have you tried keyboard out

weary raft
#

Jumpers in the right positions? If that even matters? If the board is old enough to have jumpers?

strange flume
#

Good catch

#

Jumpers is a good one

knotty sparrow
#

Jumpers did not change between the time it worked and didn't

strange flume
#

Are there any adapters

weary raft
#

But what about for the new board

strange flume
#

Power or otherwise

knotty sparrow
weary raft
#

Mysterious

knotty sparrow
strange flume
#

Is there any gpu in this

knotty sparrow
#

I wasn't able to move it at the time

#

No GPU currently, except integrated

#

I can't even confirm if the PCIe slot works

strange flume
#

Another outlet would rule out basically everything

#

Even if other stuff works out of it, electricity is really fickle

#

You said storage unplugged, was it just the sata data cable or was it also power

knotty sparrow
#

SATA and power

strange flume
#

Does the board have pcb protection

knotty sparrow
#

Drive is known working when I checked it on my USB to SATA adapter

strange flume
#

Like have you ever noticed any dust from the cooler screws or case standoffs

#

Metal flakes

knotty sparrow
strange flume
#

Ew

#

Also damn

#

Lol

#

Wait

knotty sparrow
#

Yeah one cooler broke in the process here

strange flume
#

is it level

#

It's mounted correctly yes

knotty sparrow
#

Yes, vertical on a desk

strange flume
#

Hm

knotty sparrow
#

It's a modern case too, double checked all the standoffs are in the right place

strange flume
#

Anything else on the circuit besides that plug specifically

knotty sparrow
#

I don't have the tools to test that

strange flume
#

You can't switch off part of the house?

knotty sparrow
#

I really hate accidentally turning off my server ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

It takes 15 minutes to start up and my network depends on it now

strange flume
#

Mmmmmm

weary raft
#

Circuit tester 100

knotty sparrow
#

I was pissed when the maintenance guy was replacing an outlet in the bathroom (it wasn't GFCI, right next to the sink) and he turned off the breaker clearly labeled "living room" and not "bathroom"

weary raft
#

๐Ÿ’€

#

What, you don't have the throne in the living room? Are you really living without it in the living room

strange flume
#

Only other thing I can think of is there a switch on the board

#

Like an ln2 type switch

#

Some have specific startup switches that let you boot in a contained manner instead of default

#

Ln2 mode is just an example

#

Oh

weary raft
#

The power cycling does sound like it's from some sort of short, but where it's coming from idk

strange flume
#

I'm stupid

#

You got a second bios chip?

knotty sparrow
#

nope

#

Ancient OEM board

weary raft
#

Imagine if it's not working because a bit flipped

knotty sparrow
#

I checked for burst capacitors too before you say it

strange flume
#

Yeah you know what I'm turning up nothing now, you've changed basically everything

#

Except the wall plug

weary raft
#

You gotta change the street transformer

strange flume
#

Well no I mean like

weary raft
strange flume
#

I've had certain things behave badly with specific wall plugs before

#

Even if it should work it refuses

weary raft
#

I think that's more common in places with dirty power rather than the receptacle type? Though if it's worn out too much it could cause a bad contact, but I think that's more of a fire hazard than a "makes PC power cycles"

knotty sparrow
#

fwiw I have tried both outlets

strange flume
#

Ok

#

Damn

#

My brain has run out

weary raft
knotty sparrow
#

I gave up on it a while ago and chalked it up to a ghost in the machine. I'm going to get a new (old) computer.

strange flume
#

Maybe water

#

"Wear and tear"

#

Really

#

Talking about the wall btw

#

Not the PC

knotty sparrow
#

When I was installing home security I saw an outlet where someone had their treadmill in it and they said it stopped working one day so they switched outlets. I tested the bad one... 105V
The good one was 118V

strange flume
#

Even just bad contact

#

Like the plug doesn't set well

#

I've seen some weird stuff man

weary raft
strange flume
#

Lmao

knotty sparrow
#

Yes, 110V is the minimum for a lot of electronics and even the ones that say 105V won't like it when you put a load on it and it droops to 102.

strange flume
#

That's basically what I was saying at the start with vdroop

#

PC'

#

PC's are the same

#

Too low out of spec, no start

#

I genuinely have a fried brain thinking about that vista riddle

#

Lmao

#

Ima break

weary raft
#

Also yeah I got what you meant now
I kinda somehow forgot about voltage drop

#

From a bad receptacle

#

Mostly because I just expect what basically is just a bus bar or whatever it's called to just work

weary raft
#

Some (somewhat unlikely) scenarios I could imagine are

  • PSUs too old and are dead/dying
  • connectors are not standard pinout and are shorting (though why would they use the same connectors if it wasn't compatible? I think this is probably the least likely)
  • jumper on the wrong header causing it to short circuit and trip something
  • conductive debris in the io?

What I'm fairly confident in is that short power cycling is probably some sort of power issue

strange flume
#

Agreed

weary raft
#

I'm out of ideas for what other power related issues could cause this now lmao

strange flume
#

Sudden trip is definitively power

#

It's just wtf kind of power

knotty sparrow
#

PSUs are a P850GM and a 650 GQ, both work on my server which draws more power.
They worked previously.

weary raft
#

Those damn ghosts emitting too much emf inducing current and causing the protection to trip

knotty sparrow
#

If it was a short then it wouldn't power cycle, it would shut off and I would need to reset the power supply

#

Or it would just explode, because P-GM

weary raft
#

Lmao

#

Also a motherboard might have built in short circuit protection that might trip, rather than the PSU tripping, though idk how applicable that is for older boards

strange flume
knotty sparrow
#

I agree it sounds like power of some kind

strange flume
#

That's why I listed like, every possible part in mankind tryna figure out if anything was retained lmao

#

It does ring a little similar to the problem I had with the grey screen tho

#

I changed every single part

#

The problem did not go away

#

Changed it all back

#

Problem did go away

#

Like ????

#

But then it reappeared and I confirmed it was vdroop over the eps

weary raft
#

The angry pixies did a little trolling

strange flume
#

I mean, it could honestly still be EPS vdroop

#

But both units

knotty sparrow
#

I'd prefer to have an XP or older machine anyway. No compatibility mode needed for retro games.

#

I could get a cpu with a motherboard that has blown caps and change those out pretty easily with solid caps

Meaning it's gpu side but how

knotty sparrow
#

Felix issue #3892

magic sparrow
# strange flume Meaning it's gpu side but how

Unless you test monitor with another GPU that is same arch (ideally same model), it can still be monitor. Could be smth weird like monitor has weird grounding issues but specific GPU model has missing grounding pins in video port

magic sparrow
#

I am considering possibility of mobo was dead and killed CPU, which then killed other mobo, and other CPU was killed by one of dead mobos.

strange flume
#

Seeing it at least once or twice on Intel wouldn't surprise me whatsoever

#

When you get a bad usb device it can very easily just happen to stutter really badly

strange flume

Yep happened again

#

Man ryzen can be ass sometimes

#

Starting to really damper my feelings for it

They really ought to address this

Idk if it's a windows issue or not but when you don't change anything at all then it just appears it's sus

Was water-cooling really that popular?

#

As a whole?

deep aspen
#

All i know is it was expensive

rocky wadi
#

Sounds right

deep aspen
#

Also watercooling in itx builds and what not im sure will stick around

rocky wadi
#

Water-cooling my Ryzen 4070

deep aspen
#

I air cool my stuff in a micro atx

harsh crow
#

I definitely have noticed what he meant by costs going up.

#

I remember when I looked into a decent 360mm loop for a cpu it was like only $400 6 years ago. now that costs like $600 easily for a basic kit it feels.

strange flume
#

Cos we are reaching as I said 100 times now

#

A point where watercooling provides basically nothing nowadays

#

The moment aios get qdcs, that's the end of custom loops

#

At that point you could just buy two aios, slap them together, loop

#

Alphacool already has this type of lineup and it works well enough

#

Hey guys I got 1 more really dumb question for today. The arctic liquid freezer 3 argb fans, can I make those just white?

strange flume
#

Sure

#

Buy arctic p12 maxes or just set the rgb to white

boreal prism
strange flume
#

They're the better versions of those fans

#

But plain white no lights

strange flume
#

But you can also pick any colour

#

Make them do stuff like flash

#

Make rain effects

#

Meteors

#

Sliding door effects

#

The world of rgb, at your fingertips lol

boreal prism
#

Oh wow really? lol kinda cool but also unnecessary for me lol

#

Is there a hub I have to download?

boreal prism
strange flume
#

Also

#

I'm not sure 420mm fits in flux pro

topaz blaze
#

Where can i go for pc help

strange flume
#

420mm usually doesn't

strange flume
boreal prism
#

Sorrry itโ€™s flux pro

strange flume
#

Oh my mistake

boreal prism
#

And really I watched a vid that said the 420 gave best frame times and they are all onsale rn so it was only like 20$ more

strange flume
#

It's bigger than I recalled my bad

strange flume
#

The 420 will be as cold as any old 360mm

boreal prism
strange flume
#

9800X3D is easily cooled by a dual tower it doesn't need a 420mm

#

Source: I own one

boreal prism
#

Iโ€™ve never done AIO

#

Figured Iโ€™d try it out while they are on sale bc everyone says arctic is really good

strange flume
#

You can buy yourself a nice aio if you want but the expectation should be you'll get basically identical performance to a good dual tower

#

And some 360mm thermalrights trade blows with the large arctic aios

#

Same with fx360 pro

#

So to me it's like, spend $60 max on 9800X3D cooling

#

Any higher is just pretty looks and no functional benefit

#

If you set the chip up correctly you can use an amd stock cooler on it no problems

#

Barely any performance loss

#

So like, you can use any range of cooler quite easily it just depends on your preferences

boreal prism
#

Dang ok thatโ€™s insane. Was it the 7800x3d that was made to target like 95c?

#

98 doesnโ€™t do that right?

#

I have a scythe 2 (I think) in the current build for a 5600x, probably massive overkill itโ€™s been great

knotty sparrow
#

Other way around, the 7800X3D maxes at 89C and the 9800X3D is 95

strange flume
#

They both do that

#

Yeah

#

They both target tjmax

#

It's just AMD's age old boost algorithm

boreal prism
strange flume
#

You could use that on the cpu tbh

#

It should run fairly well enough

boreal prism
#

Ok cool thats actually good to know!

boreal prism
#

Like target a higher frequency

strange flume
#

But it's in the sense of like

#

To a point

#

After that

#

Diminishing returns

#

So like to me a good dual tower is more or less good enough

boreal prism
#

Ahh ok that makes a ton of sense! I assume it would be more โ€œsustainableโ€

strange flume
#

You could really push a 360 aio if you really wanted too, you'd gain maybe a couple %

#

It's just sorta redundant

boreal prism
#

Ight and the 420 would basically do nothing right?

#

I wanna try an AIO for this build, might be a waste but I wanted to do a โ€œcleanerโ€ look

knotty sparrow
strange flume
#

I mean you can do it if you really want

#

Tbh lf3, 420mm at that, it'll last, and you can service them

knotty sparrow
#

I have the LFII 420 and it does basically nothing but run at 800 rpm all day, even with an all core workload

strange flume
#

For one and done it's not a terrible idea

#

Yeah

#

It's really overkill unless you yeet the hell out of these chips

#

Even then it's still kinda a bit much lol

boreal prism
strange flume
#

Yeah you'll be putting 1000% effort in for maybe a few %

#

Imo the scythe would be fine

#

If you're not satisfied using the scythe, consider the lf3 then

knotty sparrow
#

300% money for 3 fps

strange flume
#

Yeah

boreal prism
#

lol yea thatโ€™s fair enough

strange flume
#

I mean again, good aio, repairable, will get updated

#

Not the worst idea if you truly want it

boreal prism
#

Updated?

strange flume
#

Yeah arctic is one of those brands that offers updates to older coolers

#

Noctua also does this

boreal prism
#

And wait I can repair it? Do they actually make it possible for me to repair the pump or something?

strange flume
#

Most do but those two more than others

boreal prism
#

Or add fluid?

strange flume
boreal prism
#

Oh thatโ€™s pretty damn cool

strange flume
#

Repairing...I guess I slipped my words there, the lf2 you could, not sure about lf3 repair ability

boreal prism
#

Well damn looks like I have more homework to do.. i thought it was basically gonna be good for 5 years and then dead

strange flume
#

The scythe would last longer

#

Lol

boreal prism
#

Just replace fans right?

strange flume
#

Ye

#

Ez fix

Maybe Iโ€™ll keep it then, it works fine itโ€™s like 4.5 years old. So would save me like 100$ on the build canโ€™t imagine the fans would be more then like 20$ each

Dude

#

Tl b12 probably one of the best buys I have made

#

Cpu at 100% load and I couldnt even hear the fan

#

My side panel was off

#

The difference is exaggerated because the arctic p12 i had was a dud so it made more noise than it should have

#

Oh the heating was on thats why I heard nothing

#

Wow so the amazon reviewers were right. there really is a hum between 40-50%

boreal prism
#

@strange flume so I got the build set up with the fuma2. Currently running cinebench all core test and itโ€™s holding at like 88.5c I feel like thatโ€™s a bit much no?

knotty sparrow
#

That's fine. Cinebench is a harder load than you'll ever see in the real world.

boreal prism
#

Ok cool literally had me scared. Single core it runs at like 52c

boreal prism
knotty sparrow
#

Yes, when there's a load spike it will take a second or two to ramp the fan up to compensate

boreal prism
#

Iโ€™m coming from a 5600x with same cooler so it never really happened (idt)

#

Ok cool good to know. I got a massive lag spike in the first map I ran of POE I assume thatโ€™s the PC figuring itself out or maybe it was server side not sure

knotty sparrow
#

It was probably loading shaders

boreal prism
boreal prism
knotty sparrow
#

Are you doing PBO or manual overclocking?

sinful heart
#

Yeah donโ€™t cpus have some safety mechanism that can kick in with cinebench because of the load? Also like furmark

boreal prism
weary raft
#

any modern cpu though (made within the last.... around 20 years?) has an automatic shutoff to prevent it from cooking itself though

weary raft
#

9800x3d has a max operating temperature of 95c

#

so you still got headroom

boreal prism
knotty sparrow
boreal prism
sinful heart
#

Basically it will push as hard as it can until it hits a thermal limit or current limit i think so you are fine

#

If you are really worried then do a negative curve optimizer

boreal prism
sinful heart
#

A negative co offset means you send less voltage to the cpu

strange flume
#

You're perfectly fine, 89C is well within spec

boreal prism
boreal prism
sinful heart
#

Yeah its pretty easy

#

you can do it in the bios or install ryzen master

#

you can have ryzen master make its own curve

knotty sparrow
#

9000 series has the upgraded curve shaper too

sinful heart
#

Yeah thats what it was called for zen 5

#

Basically you can have ryzen master run its optimization, go eat something and when you come back your profile will be done if you dont want to do any tinkering

#

I let it make a curve on its own and it cut my power draw by like 40%

boreal prism
#

hmm ryzen master says doesnt support the processor. maybe i gotta update it

boreal prism
#

hmm looks like it wont even let me download it. keeps sayin unable to launch incorrectly downloaded, aborting. but im literally just downloading it like normal

sinful heart
#

Maybe try to delete that old installation and download the new installer

boreal prism
#

But I ran it at that with an offset of 0 I think

sinful heart
#

0 is the default curve

#

I think 50 is the lowest

boreal prism
#

It told me that wasnโ€™t allowed for some reason. I did -50 on each core and then 0 offset which seemed like it might have forced the -50?

boreal prism
boreal prism
sinful heart
#

Ok do you have pbo enabled in the bios

#

Its probably stuck on that -50 still

boreal prism
#

It seems like the changes arenโ€™t reverted, yesterday when I qued up cinebench it got to 83cish

Today not going about 66 still

#

Ahh ok thatโ€™s prob it

sinful heart
#

Yeah if you have it disabled the stock settings will override

#

Like before I had it on, ryzen master had to keep applying the profile

#

I turned it on in bios and my ryzen master profile sticks even on linux

boreal prism
#

Where would I see that?

sinful heart
#

Every uefi has a different menu but pbo is prob gonna be in the oc section

boreal prism
#

I donโ€™t even see pbo. I have performance boost set to auto and TDP to 105W off

sinful heart
#

Ok try this

boreal prism
#

Performance preset set to auto also

sinful heart
#

Reinstall it and do the optimize feature

boreal prism
#

But that one seems to give me a choice to turn PBo on

sinful heart
#

Let the program make its own curve and come back to it later

#

Did you set it to -50 earlier yourself

boreal prism
#

So it wouldnโ€™t do that either way, I just had a validate option not an optimize button (unless Iโ€™m blind)

sinful heart
#

Maybe im mixing up the words

#

Hold on ima see

boreal prism
#

Ight im redownloading too

sinful heart
#

Ok

boreal prism
#

Oh I donโ€™t have that

sinful heart
#

Lmaoo what

#

What board you got

boreal prism
#

B850 steel legend WiFi

#

@sinful heart

sinful heart
#

Hmm so maybe its a little different with new boards

#

Try it and see what happens

#

Its probably the same thing

boreal prism
#

i did that

#

thats was -50 on all cores and tehn the diff offset thing at 0. it crashes on cinebench now

#

even when i had it uninstalled temps stayed at about 65 today and 83ish yesterday

#

does that mean that maybe it did something to the bios?

sinful heart
#

Yeah what it seems like does is that it makes your bios apply the settings. Did you try the all core function or did you only do per core

#

I did all core on mine

boreal prism
#

per cpre

#

lemme look at all

#

still says validate

sinful heart
#

Try all core

boreal prism
#

i see i have an extra setting GFX co value

sinful heart
#

Not sure what gfx is but type in -30 and see what happens

#

Not sure why it did -50 on everything because not all cores all the same

#

It was like โ€œyeah lets do the lowest possible number and see what happensโ€

boreal prism
#

gfx seems like its short for graphics

#

even for the all core i have to put in between -50 and 0 but thats all core

sinful heart
#

Yeah try -30 and see what happens

boreal prism
#

Hmm so it seems like it reverted somehow after a few more restarts and im able to run cinebench. I have more questions now but I suppose they are appropriate for OC chat

#

Yea getting back up to 85c

#

Thatโ€™s all core testingz looks like temp might actually be throttling it

hoary ferry
#

So i got a quick question, how can I figure out what way are my fans intaking and exhausting? I am using a lian li 011 vision case and aio a gallahad II lcd sl 360mm now I am looking at the infinity fan facing the inside of the pc, where are those fans blowing?

knotty sparrow
hoary ferry

I meant the picture was universal, with the exception of reverse blade fans

feral wolf

i mean u could also reverse the polarity of the power

and you'll get a change in direction

technically yeah

#

though the fan blades are optimized for one specific spinning direction

# severe moon What's the best 240 or 280mm AIO for LGA1700 under $60? (RGB unnecesary, USA)

this is what I have been using for almost a year now, as my first AIO, no complaints, swapped fans for some ringed rgb ones, thermalright has a bunch of really good budget AIOs and fans though, def look there

https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-3300RPM-Bearing-LGA1150-FE360/dp/B0C7Q3F42D?crid=2CG20VS7DVW8Y&dib=&th=1

#

Yeah if you're set on an AIO over air cooling I'd get something from thermalright

severe moon
#

but wanna get a aio

sacred pagoda
#

Why

severe moon
#

moving to dan a3

sacred pagoda
#

Ah

#

Does that do 280? Make sure it does, some itx are too skinny

severe moon
#

but it does 280

#

can fit 360mm with my psu and gpu

#

with a 360mm it limits my gpu to 320mm or something

#

but i have a 7900xt thats 308mm

#

so we good

sacred pagoda
#

Matx but doesn't fit a phantom spirit?

#

Might as well get a sama im01 lol

severe moon
#

since i move the pc around a lot - even in a suitcase - a aio would be more stable

#

also idk its kinda cool

sinful heart
#

I wonder how thermalright does it

#

How do you have a reliable aio cooler for 60

wild fjord

Can anyone help me please? This temperature here just goes upp for no reason, I have no programs open just discord

My pc is also laggy af

#

My pc also automatically turns off

#

Anyone help please my pc sounds like a airplane

#

Either the pump is turned off or dead

#

One or the other

#

Cannot be anything else

wild fjord
#

I just applied new thermal paste but seem not working

wild fjord
strange flume
#

It'll vibrate if it runs

wild fjord
#

Also sorry if Iโ€™m confusing but idk this stuff

strange flume
#

The pump that moves the water

#

It's a water cooler

wild fjord
#

It was perfect yesterday no problems at all today morning I turned on and yeah this happened

strange flume
#

Was it like this before or after repaste

wild fjord
#

Before

#

Then I thought it was paste so I applied new

#

But same problem

strange flume
#

Check your lcd cables are plugged in

#

One of those is a pump cable

#

If they all are then the aio is dead

wild fjord
#

The fans are running good how can it be dead?

strange flume
#

Cos the fans aren't the things that move the water

wild fjord
strange flume
#

Water no move = water at cpu boils

strange flume
#

You cannot repaste without moving it

wild fjord
strange flume
#

Again

#

Check the cable is connected

wild fjord
#

Ok lemme see

strange flume
#

There are cables out of the screen

#

One of those is a pump

wild fjord
#

Lemme move the pc a sec

strange flume
wild fjord
#

Everything is connected except this

#

But it has been unconeccted since I built it

#

Like 1 year ago

#

At it was perfectly running

strange flume
#

Then the pump is dead

wild fjord
#

Whatโ€™s the solution?

strange flume
#

New cooler

#

You can claim warranty with nzxt

#

Dead pump is dead pump

wild fjord
#

I bought it like 10 months ago you think I can get new one? For free?

strange flume
#

If the warranty is successful sure

#

Paid for postage probably

wild fjord
#

I didnโ€™t buy it directly from nzxt because there is no delivery to my country

#

Can I still contact them?

strange flume
#

Ok then warranty with the store

Pwm? Nah. I use USB C

sinful heart
sacred pagoda
#

That fan likely uses pwm as well, assuming it has adjustable speed

sinful heart
#

Lil dude

severe moon
#

so possibly

#

i really think i should put some slim fans below my gpu

#

gpu is just about 25mm above the bottom

#

any cheap reccomendations for a slim fan

#

just to try it out?

#

or should i just buy a $50 vertical bracket w/ pcie 4.0

#

i think my gpu is struggling to get air through the filter thats like 25mm away

sacred pagoda
#

That fan could possibly be doing more harm than good

#

Cause the gpu exhausts out the sides

severe moon
#

just my gpu definitely not getting enough air in

#

i do have 2 outtake right above/infront of it

#

those pull out all the hot air

#

but the gpus fighting to pull air from the bottom with no intake fans

sacred pagoda
#

My experience with fans under the gpu in a small case with low gpu clearance to the bottomwas that they didn't really help. But they weren't slim

#

Slim might give better results

severe moon
#

yeah my arctic p12s are like slightly too big to fit under gpu

#

probably would but the gpu would be resting on them

#

so if i get something like 15mm it would leave 10mm of space

sacred pagoda
#

Here's the clearance mine had

#

Probably close to 10mm, maybe a bit more

#

Though tbf the fans didn't line up great under the gpu

severe moon
#

yeah id line them up perfect

#

might not even put 3

#

maybe just 1 slim fan

#

to get some air in

#

just tryna find a cheap fan to test with

sacred pagoda
#

They also have rgb for slightly more but I'm assuming you don't need that for a bottom intake

severe moon
#

Not tryna cable manage that again

severe moon
#

Like I could go with 80mm

#

But would only use 2 screws

sacred pagoda
#

Oh huh

severe moon
#

Any other options or do you think 80mm might work?

#

Smaller fan would give the GPU more space and not cover the entire GPU fan

#

Like it would be able to pull air from outside the intake fan too which may help with sound

severe moon
#

Arctic p12 slim

sacred pagoda
#

Probably not

severe moon
#

Brings more air in

sacred pagoda
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

severe moon
#

Might even stick with 1 fan permanently since the GPU can pull air itself too

#

Just want a lil more positive pressure

#

Rn at 2 intakes 3 outtakes

weary raft
#

Exhausts lol

weary raft
# severe moon Rn at 2 intakes 3 outtakes

Assuming 2 or more of those exhausts are through a radiator, those might restrict enough airflow to prevent a negative case pressure despite having more fans? Though from what I see, you have a mesh case so negative case pressure probably matters less since there's so much more area for air to come in, so dust shouldn't accumulate on the gaps of the case

severe moon
#

1 exhaust on radiator. 2 exhaust above GPU on side panel.

#

Exhaust on radiator is above psu to pull hot air out

weary raft
#

Hmm

severe moon
#

So I was thinking intake top bottom exhaust center

#

Since the center doesnโ€™t really feed air into anything

#

Putting intake on side center would just fight against the GPU hot air

weary raft
#

Honestly you shouldn't worry about negative pressure in a full mesh case

severe moon
#

i decreased temp by 20 degrees with a single fan

severe moon
#

i think that single 120mm slim will definitely help when i get it installed

#

since its a bigger fan that this random desk fan

#

and actually pulling air in

weary raft
# severe moon i decreased temp by 20 degrees with a single fan

negative or positive pressure matters less than if you're getting the heat out of the case or not; you can be in a negative pressure situation and have good airflow, and a positive pressure situation where the airflow does not get to the parts that need it
honestly moving one fan to a different location might improve your thermals, even without needing to add another fan
idk how your parts are laid out

severe moon
#

but im not getting enough cool air in for the gpu

#

theres 2 outtakes right in front of the gpu pulling all the hot air out

#

i can feel it

severe moon
#

slim fan definitely helped

#

50s-60s with single slim compared to 60s-70s

#

wonder what two could do

sinful heart
#

Is the normal p12 worth buying

#

Might as well get more b12s if I need them

#

Just the weird harmonics around 50% would bug me if I had 4 of those making the sound

#

Unfortunately there is no p12 max white pack

#

But thats ok its still not a lot anyway

severe moon
severe moon
#

it performs similar sometimes slightly worse at lower RPM, but does have a higher maximum RPM.

#

So basically, if you plan to max out your fans, get the P12 max. Otherwise, if your fans run at around 50% most of the time, buy the normal P12s.

#

P12 max are quiter at 100% use.

sacred pagoda
sinful heart
#

Yeah even though yall praise that fan I was still skeptical

#

But now after seeing hardware canucks that fan really is that good

#

I always thought it was too good to be true, but its not

sinful heart
severe moon
#

but i currently use 2 P12s in my Lian Li A3 PC

#

i bought p12s cause they were like $30 for 5

#

triple the price of the c12cs but i thought theyd be better for noise and longevity

#

i cant tell if theres much of a difference in noise

knotty sparrow
sinful heart
#

Yeah thats good but I want the white fans

#

There is no pack for them so i really might take the thermalright pill again

sinful heart
#

Yeah even the rgb version is just as cheap

#

I really don't know how they pull it off man

knotty sparrow
#

At first everyone assumed that they were flooding the market to gain mindshare while taking a net loss, but it's been a couple years like that now

severe moon
#

Just buy the thermal take C12C fans

#

Literally itโ€™s like $2 if they stop working

#

Mine worked great, no horrible noise, good airflow, and didnโ€™t break in the few months I used them.

#

If you have extra money to spend and donโ€™t have a different use for it, get the arctic fans since theyโ€™ll probably last longer and do have a lot more positive reviews.

#

Looks like those don't use a hub and are just daisy chained into Mobo, as long as you have extra 4 pin pwm and 3 pin argb headers on your mobo, you should be able to use it.

The price is disagreeable but the cost of aesthetics is up to you. I'd look through thermalright's various fans and see if there's anything that catches your eye if you haven't already

simple anchor
#

Yeah

#

Wild that DeepCool got sanctions for selling fans to Russian companies when this fan lasted a couple of months at best

#

Could be that they just put crappy ones in

#

Should I have the fan headers for the AIO in any specific ports? Like the pump fan in CPU_OPT and the normal fans in CPU or something?

knotty sparrow
#

That's up to you and your motherboard

#

Ideally you'd have the pump at a constant speed, it'll last longer if it's not ramping up and down

#

Most boards have CPU_OPT match the main CPU header but others will default it to 100%

#

I would keep my pump at around 60% personally

simple anchor
#

I don't get a choice with the Mystique

#

I just want to make sure it's getting the voltage it wants

#

If I try to set it lower than 100% it will go to 3000 in bursts because there isn't enough voltage

They often don't

You'd like to think so but no honestly

I might have also set it to PWM

Oh also, ironically

#

I got bubble sounds from the pump after I moved my case around trying to remove the non-existent bubbles

#

Very quiet, but

Auto usually means PWM on the CPU fan and DC on everything else

It's fairly rare that it'll actually take the time during POST to test each fan to see if it responds to PWM signaling
