specifically AM5 compatible makes it easier but most blocks will work anyway
I'm using a Thermaltake W7+ on AM5 & that came out like 3 years before AM5 was a thing lol
i have fittings already
I lost all the mounting hardware except the like retaining nuts so I had to make it work lol
sounds like you're definitely doing a loop then haha
which case? how many rads? what sizes?
We created a custom Valorant Jett themed PC Build which was showcased at the recent ASUS HQ Valorant Championship Finals.

heckin fancy jeez
you'll think it looks so amazingly cool
It gets gunk in the tubes

I dont think there will be blocks for fe 5090 unless they design it to house the io and pcie connections
I kinda want to try a water loop but only using budget parts
dude I still find remnants of EK Electric Purple Opaque coolant in my rads 3 years later
Like a 200 to 300$ water loop 
it can definitely be done
Ye I heard AliExpress is good for those
So itll still look like a normal watercooled one but there will be empty space on the left side housing the other connections
Thats how I imagine it
Most people think it costs as much as the pc cause they only know EK, Corsair etc
just need am5 and 5090 block and 5090 and im set
I've always used D5 pumps but DDC will be fine
have you seen der8aur's?
the mycro?
@mortal grail
the direct die?
not sure if you have to delid for it or if it has different options
2 years later then just need the next gen and im good
And then the next gen

I probably have to upgrade my cpu/ board first cause idk if I can find a lga1151 block 
my first loop was mystery crap fittings from amazon lol
Are quick disconnects any good
Ah
I found some Alphacool Plastic ones for the low tho
So it’s just alpha cool block, pump, res and some tubes and fittings
if yall had a unlimted budget for your pc, wht yall doing?
persoanlly, dual 5090 waterlooped system
and i jsut realised my breaker would trip
gg
4x 5090 system
Oh these are pretty affordable
performance-pcs will custom coat Optimus blocks
i just realiesd two 5090s would mean, one 5090 5.0 16x, one 4.0 4x, or two 4.0 8x
I love them they make bench setup so much easier
Ye they must be easy to setup water loop too and drain if you need
they're not gonna be as great as the metal ones but they're also really light for my pipe mess lol
I mean they won't look as great I dunno
I use them for bench setup
5090 family
QDC fittings are usually like $30 each
yEAH ima just go to a single waterlooped 5090
9950x, 9950x3d when that drops, 96gb wam, a bunch of four 8tb nvmes, 5.0 if possible
ngl id prob do the nv5 again and loop it, then another 5090 pc with a 9800x3d as my portal pc
p-pcs only has this Optimus V3 in stonk rn https://www.performance-pcs.com/water-cooling/water-blocks/water-blocks-cpu/optimus-signature-v3-cpu-block-amd-silver-ceramic-raw-copper-cold-plate-1.html
The Optimus Signature V3 block is the finest CPU block ever created for AMD AM5 CPUs.
With the goal of creating the best ever, we went back to the drawing board and redesigned a CPU block from the ground up.
100% new cold plate, revolutionary Jet Structure and a monolithic metal body worthy of the Signature name.
heck & it's V3 but not Rev 2 of V3
i need the nickle one
ngl if i do get a 5080 or 4080 or xtx what ever, i should custom loop kek~4
and hate my self
you're doing liquid metal?
hellllll nooooooooooooo
dont do that
to ur self
watch the 5090 have issues in a few years
I love liquid metal
im waiting for my ps5 to have thermal issues
goin enjoy taking it appart and moving the metal around so it sits on the cpu
heck even Optimus website is sold out. Crazy how much cheaper it is on here https://optimuspc.com/products/signature-v3-cpu-block-amd?variant=41014759063635
The Finest AMD AM5 CPU waterblock ever created. 8-12c cooler temperatures than competing bare die block and an incredible 1c-4c cooler on a a stock CPU vs a delidded CPU with a bare die block. Compatible with BOTH standard CPU and bare die out of the box, designed for overclocking and liquid cooling AMD AM5 Ryzen 7000 CPUs including 7950X.
I used liquid metal on a 10900K with an LF2 360mm
with a copper cold plate lol
I had to reapply liquid metal like once a year but I can deal with that
if u had my pc for 48 hours and could modify it with unlimted budget within reason what would u do
I'd probably try to find a decent Z790 (ideally a 2-DIMM slot) & a relatively inexpensive 2x16gb A-die or 2x24gb M-die kit & spend like 36 of those hours trying to stabilize 8000c34 lol
Too be fair Optimus sells out of most of their first and second batch waterblocks 
i dont even bother overlcoking my gpu anymore
or cpu
my cooler doesnt like it kek~4
What is this
heck there's a Z790 Apex Encore for $449 (used & apparently there were bent pins on CPU socket that were fixed according to the listing). It's kinda crazy Z790 Tachyons are like $200 more
kek~4
broke mans nitro
idk it just does
damn
It didn't for me 
my brain keeps going between am5 upgrade and ddr5 upgrade kek~4 remind me that i do not need ddr5
iirc the Asrock riptide overclocked memory pretty well
wima save my money up until i get a job befoe i buy the fast ddr4
AM5 upgrade would include DDR5 upgrade lol
and a better x3d cpu!
i think a 9800x3d beats 13600kf in multicore
or is the same roughly
hmm it says it supports 8000 memory even tho it's 4-DIMM https://www.newegg.com/asrock-z790-riptide-wifi-atx-intel-z790-lga-1700/p/N82E16813162149
wanna know what we need in more motherboads
it definitely sounds like a pretty decent board for $230
the abiilty to sa ve certin settings to a usb drive or something
you can do that
you can save BIOS profiles on many boards
i hate having to remember my old ram oc and redo it
you can also save it to the board ofc
mines is poopoo, it wipes it if u bios update
ya that's typical
imagine u could keep it even after a upgrade
& if you load a profile from a previous BIOS onto a current one it doesn't exactly work lol
tbh
at this point they're pretty much memorized
or just screenshot HWiNFO before update
settings don't always work on newer BIOS
whats the difficult part of ddr5 oc
but it gives you a good starting point
iv only done ddr4
Everything 
Xoc guys can’t stand ddr5
like so many damn variables
yuh, i remembered when i upgraded to the new microcode it made my cpu dip below 5.1ghz on all core loads, of course i made it so it didnt do that kek~4
it's hard to isolate problems the way you could on DDR4
Only reason I’d get ddr5 is cause newer Evga boards are ddr5 only and they look the best
like DDR4 you set loose primaries & raise System Agent & IO voltage until you can't get a higher frequency to POST
Z790 dark 👑
it's sad there won't be any more EVGA boards
thats how i did it, then i figured out that 3600mt/s was too unstable 😭
DDR5 it's more of like
Yep I’m trying to find a lga1700 one new 
i think if i tweaked the voltage i could get 3600 to run with out making my timings loose asf
sweet spot
Some don’t recommend them cause they’re a bit wonky, like there’s this beeping sound
& more voltage isn't always helpful
honestly less voltage helps more often
apparently the frequency is so high that if your voltage is too high or too low it borks the signal integrity
This is the EVGA Z690 dark 
As far as an overclocking motherboard, it does absolutely great when it runs, which isn’t very long and a lot of people that I’ve talked to had the same board had issues as well.
I’ve owned more motherboards than I can count and more EVGA products than I can count as well and this is the first time I’ve ever been di...
wow
how painful will ddr6 be
lmfao
I used mine daily for over 2 years without issues
So no buzzing or weird errors
afik the reason they did CAMM memory is for better signal integrity
o yeah, rip rgb r am
also that ClockDriver memory
camm is th efuture
ya for sure
none I dunno why but lol
I mean I was using 12900K with 7000c32 1T memory
so it's a little dated compared to using it for 13/14th gen ig
ya Z690
Ah
it's on the floor next to me rn with like 3 little white lights on in standby lol
I stayed with older BIOS
maybe that has something to do with it
Ye it’s probably bios version
iirc I'm on like the first BIOS they put out when A-die was new lol
...2.03 maybe? it's been awhile
Or that guy had an unstable ram oc
also, for daily, the DDR4 stress tests can be kinda useless
like I passed like 8 hours overnight of testmem5 antaextreme
then I ran large FFTs on OCCT & failed in like 8 minutes lol
primaries kinda scale weird too
like tCL will scale with voltage but tRCDRD/WR & tRP don't really scale with voltage
& JEDEC guidance on tRAS is like nonsense
JEDEC says run like a three digit number for tRAS at 8000mt/s
yet somehow 34 will run lol
for the most part, DDR5 timings are like DDR4 x2
could be for sure. I needed like 1.435v CPU VDDQ to finally get 7000 stable
which still seems like a lot now lol
to get like 8533 running on Apex, I run CPU VDDQ at 1.335v
you pretty much just have to figure out what your motherboard & CPU want. It's not like bdie where there's an easy OC that pretty much works on every Zen 3 CPU or something
it's so much less predictable ig is what I mean
Ah ye true
I’ve just heard from people complaining their oc wasn’t stable occasionally
Like one day it works and then it doesn’t want to boot correctly
lol I found one of my 12900K memory OC spreadsheets
I had such a massive headache with AM5 with this
for example lol
Am5, buy 6000mt and forget
Oof
that spreadsheet above was the longest one but I tried 4 different BIOS
That must’ve taken a while to figure out
in the end, I started messing with ProcODT
& I'm pretty sure that's the only reason it worked
it was kind of a last ditch effort I thought had like a 10% chance of working
but somehow it did
Oh I didn’t even know that was a thing lol
Ye me neither. Overclocking doesn’t work too well on my ram 
I've been running this without incident since about September or October iirc
CJR can be rough since you're capped around 1.45v iirc
above that I think you gotta worry about degrading the ICs
if it wasn't 2x32gb, I wouldn't be happy with it but it's fiiine
which CPU?
this was a goofy thing I got from watching Buildzoid do dual rank OC. I'm used to tRP being able to run lower than tRCDRD/WR
Ah lol
grab some inexpensive bdie
I only tried loosening some timings but i guess it didn’t want to do more than 500mts over xmp
bdie is only silly expensive (still somehow?) if you get 2x16gb
2x8 is fairly reasonable
The board should support 4266+ so I can get some good ram for it
I think there’s some patriot kit that was affordable but they’re only single rank kits so I gotta run 4 sticks for 32
if you wanna run 32gb, it's usually a lot easier to do 2x16 than 4x8
I mean they're HP & Acer but bdie is bdie lol
tbh I kinda like the HP ones
I think there was something with these 300 seriesboards working well with 4 sticks but I’m not sure
T top ones at least
ah ya I remember that
topography typography something I dunno
but how the board handles the 4 slots lol
it's in the ddr4 oc github thing that I think most people learned from
Oh I didn’t know about that
I kinda learned this stuff from twitter and a few YouTube guides lol
this is what I learned from
Ah
that & bothering basically anyone who would answer questions in various discords lol
i wonder what rev E 2x16 is going for atm
tbh I haven't looked
mine was $95 on amazon a few years ago and it's stable at 3600c16 (or was, anyways, before i cleared cmos)
I've had one set of Micron memory ever
that I think are somewhat hard to get
they're 4400c19 Ballistix Max iirc
they range from 3000c16 to 4400c19
crucial ballistix and ballistix max
or maybe mallistix max is a better diff die
I think there was some insane like $300 Micron that was 5000 or something
I always thought it was Rev E but someone told me it could be Rev N
I’m bored
lol this is insaaaane
since when did crucial drop ram sticks 😭
But no I think I saw a kit of similar speed for around 150 bucks
Timings are kinda loose
lol they make DDR5 too but for some reason, it's terrible
they have a good kit now
my dominators are better than that overpriced
the 6000c36 oc pro or whatever its called
im not sure what the dies name is
sorry im multitasking
marvel rivals
DDR4: Samsung 100% best; Micron good depending on Rev; & Hynix was trash except for like DJR (which was only good on 11th gen really), AJR, & some CJR
DDR5: Hynix be like, "is anyone else here? guys?"
you tested all these boards?
Oh no it’s not mine
I found it in another server
Gonna try see if there’s anything for older CPU’s like 8 gen
ah ya those can be useful but at the same time, treat them as suggestions or starting points
iirc, I've never copied someone else's settings exactly & it worked lol
it's about time. Has anyone heard from Samsung? the heck are they doing over there?
I’m using it to see what works well with what I got but apparently the g skill 3200c14 won’t go above 1.6v
cheap A-die is like realllly cheap & works great
ehh
maybe theirs won't
unless somehow the DIMM restricts it but I'm not sure it's even capable of blocking it lol
I have a set of 4000c17-18-18-38 trident royals that kept scaling to like 2.1v
honestly tho, after about 1.65v, you need at least a fan blowing directly on the DIMMs
Damn those must’ve been expensive
32gb?
not really. They were cheaper than 3600c14 iirc
yes
lol I got this thing to keep RAM cool for awhile
Oh lol that’s neat
I finally just said the heck with it & started using Pokemon cards to take off heatspreaders so I could run it on water
probably can ig
were you setting System Agent & IO voltage?
I didn’t want to kill the ram or something. Didn’t know what I was doing with voltages 
I hit 40C ish on water with DDR5 running 6200c28 at 1.5v-ish
I don’t think I did
I barely touched dram voltage
It was just xmp with a few loosened timings and slightly higher voltage
I dunno how your board handles those two voltages on auto but those are the ones you need for higher frequency
Are the higher speed kits better for using lower voltages
I dunno about 8th gen tbh
I mean it should still be skylake like 9 and 10th gen
on 10th gen I'd try to keep System Agent voltage at or below 1.4v & IO voltage at or below 1.3v for daily
I broke that rule a lot but still lol
😆 .
4400? the Micron or the Samsung?
I used to have some Vipers that were 4400c19
the 2x16 royals I have are 4000 not 4400 tho
do you have HWiNFO installed?
I had these 4400c19-19-19-39 2x8gb vipers https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KXLFDL6?ie=UTF8&th=1

just be careful which ones you get because not all are bdie
btw my guess is your motherboard is running around like 0.95v for SA & IO voltage
from just googling safe voltages
for 8700K I mean
if 1.4/1.3 SA/IO is safe on 8700K like it was for 10th gen, you could likely increase frequency a decent amount lol
anecdotally, someone claims 1.3 is "safe" for SA & IO
what motherboard are you using?
I wish the darn QVL showed the IO/SA voltages it used for these https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370 Pro4/index.asp#Memory
Supports 8th Generation Intel Core™ Processors (Socket 1151); Supports DDR4 4266+(OC); 2 PCIe 3.0 x16, 3 PCIe 3.0 x1, 1 PCI, 1 M.2 Socket (Key E); AMD Quad CrossFireX™; Graphics Output Options: HDMI, DVI-D, D-Sub, supports Triple Monitor; 7.1 CH HD Audio (Realtek ALC892 Audio Codec), ELNA Audio Caps; 6 SATA3, 2 Ultra M.2 (PCIe Gen3x4 & SATA3); 8...
what's your XMP on your RAM again?
IO & SA voltages are here. It doesn't tell you what's "too high" but that's not really surprising considering they don't want RMAs lol
I hate when they do this
it's like you could've said nothing at all & it would've been more helpful
like you can't even be bothered to tell me what the acronyms mean?
I have no idea why that's so expensive. I mean, I think RDIMM means that it corrects memory errors (usually for servers afik) but that's wild
oh you're trying to get 64gb?
tbh it's kinda unnecessary unless you like edit 4k video a lot or something lol
this probably makes way more sense tbh https://www.newegg.com/crucial-64gb-ddr4-3200/p/N82E16820156327
I don't really remember seeing bdie on sticks bigger than 16gb each
there's definitely CJR that runs high frequency
DJR is kinda better for that
I have a set of NeoForza 2x16gb DJR that's 4400c19
dunno why I always ended up with 4400c19 wth lol
this is likely CJR https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-64gb-ddr4-4000/p/N82E16820374049
I'm pretty sure 2x32gb bdie isn't really a thing
Mhh
I have no idea how these are now a lot more expensive than they were like 2.5 years ago lol https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820374012?Item=9SIB0ASKD49722
lololol
oh jeez what'd they do now?
no idea but nothing good
LOL MaTH
lol WHAT???
L
heck I don't think I've ever subbed TimeSpy with 13600K on any GPU
already have that installed, didn't pay much attention to cpu scores on 3dmark
iirc CPU is 15% of TimeSpy score so it's not all that significant
Rather W
Deserved for making shovelware for so many years
ye
EA needs the ubisoft treatment asap
it becomes extra poopoo every year
people not buying it
I don't get it. (1) why am I still looking thru ebay & (2) why is anyone selling 2x16gb DDR4 bdie asking about 2x the price of 2x16gb ddr5 adie? lol
price gouging
has there been a sudden increase in demand for dr bdie? lol
heh maybe
is 5090 out yet
Reviewing and gaming on Nvidia's new flagship graphics card, the GeForce RTX 5090!

this poor igpu just sits there day in & day out waiting to finally get its first task
I'll adopt it. Give it a good home. Use it.
sweet but strange, would've thought it would hit historical low during a major sale
RDR2 is my favorite RTS 
Does this feature online as well??
Gotta make a move
only thing it lacks is a railgun and a flying motorcycle
Got bored and decided to test some newer games on my 1660Ti and it barely runs black myth wukong at 1080p low
I guess 50fps is ok with a variable refresh rate monitor though
Oppressor mk2 we cookin
when i get my hands on a heavy sniper with flame rounds i'm gonna shoot those things down
same with the fighter jets
The 1660Ti also just looks tiny in this case compared to my 7900XTX
it's like it's a singleslot or doubleslot GPU
reminds me of that...y'know the ones that just plug in and don't need an external power cable?
it's almost as small as that
It's a dual slot
I just took this out of the family PC and put in a single slot GPU that runs off the pcie slot alone
My mom doesn't need a 1660Ti for paying bills and my brother is grounded from gaming so I took it back
hm
Dragons dogma 2 seems to run great at 1440p
Vram is the limitation for the graphics in that game.
Austria
Good choice
why did you offer choices in the first place
he's going on dream vacation
map game
was that the correct answer
I was looking for a random country out of those to play
austria is going to take over the world
just you wait...
Poland > Austria, chad Winged Hussars vs virgin HRE
speaking of Poland I'm going to hope my heir doesn't die
they made the glock so that's why i picked austria
glock is probably best gun in realistic games
do you reinstall windows once a year
no
you could probably just use it until it loses support later in the year
oh nevermind
there's AGES left
huh
now I'm confused
wtf
?????
is ms trolling
IoT LTSC 2021 looks like the best version of win 10
what browser are you using?
try using a firefox based browser
#tech-industry-news learned an interesting tidbit for context
If anyone wants to see
I need to be selling my desktop not buying more parts
10 might give you less issues tho
I don't trust ms after 24h2
I'd be more worried about drivers on 11
hm true
Enterprise isn't just server
It's for well
Enterprise users who need something that works
Yeah
I now have, definitive proof that my words over the last 2 years weren't BS
I can take the tin foil hat off lmao
Ironically I found this using 3Dmark
Top end was always diminishing returns
But I didn't think it'd be this much diminishing returns below 4K
They probably hate it because it's synthetic which... That's the whole point it's a benchmark
Ye
But it's very good at being a gaming benchmark
It's the closest to real games I've seen
Out of all
Only thing it doesn't account for is Ubisoft trolling gamers with broken launches
ye like where did they go wrong. they had ghost recon, division etc
What am I missing?
Is this actually happening? 💀
It is
Lmao
Where tf the red text go
Ah welp anyway that sends the message
Lol
Like every other card yes
I feel bad for ram
That's a lot of hot air
Right over it

liquid metal paste on the 5090 thats why
10- 15c cooler
Nah it's the flow through centric design
Blasting like 70% of the heatsink all over anything above it 
600W of hot air in a highly concentrated and conical manner
Nvidia is just full of hot air
Damn I suddenly don't want a 90 series card
I mean they are super cool but damn they push heat
And it's not even really fast
I mean TECHNICALLY it is
But like it's mostly benchmark muscles
game fr listing 4090 in system reqs
It's really amusing how the 5090 is just so cool in all the ways that make zero difference
PT be like
DP2.1 tho
No frame gen tho
Eh. Not that big
Now we all know why nGreedAI didn't put DP2.1 on the 40 series
Also Selective RT... and 5700 XT... that sounds like pain
A number of new 4K 240 screens used dual input plugs
P sure they COULD'VE done it if they wanted to
Pseudo 2.1
Wish that came down to 1440p too
I'm pretty averse to DSC even though I probably shouldn't be
My main issue was that I had no idea what percentage DSC is still okay
But you just answered that lol
Like
30-50%
Is disgusting
20% is tolerable
Dual input fixed that
Now we have 2.1
But also hdmi 2.1 was good up to 4K 144 anyway
So like, for the most part, the 4090 was catered for
What's the limit for 1440p refresh on HDMI2.1?
2.1 is 38.4gbps
240 10bit 4:4:4?
So it adds to somewhere around equivalence of 4K144 10 bit
4:2:2 should be all you need
Alrighty
Just asking since I'm gonna go OLED with the 4080 and I don't wanna cook it
I need an adapter for that
Speaking of which
I'm using my usb 3 cable instead and my sensor panel driver is using the dgpu
I haven't worked out how to sideload it to the igpu, think I need a new sensor panel driver for that
I have a thunderbolt cable which should trigger the igpu but rn the driver itself isn't changing it up
Not worth me buying a different panel for that tho, that'd be ridiculous
I'm probs gonna get the Jonsbo one
That's HDMI and it runs off of whatever I have it plugged into
2 displays and a sensorpanel
Why?
Idfk
I just want a second monitor
It's kinda giving me an "I care about my stuff" vibe
Cyberpunk 2077 got a new update today, version 2.21, and with it came an update to DLSS.
This includes multi frame generation which launches with the RTX 5090 later, but some features work on older RTX cards, including budget ones.
Thanks for watching :)
Already have one kek
not bad
selective rt recommended settings my exact build. 5600x/3060ti
But I'm probably gonna replace it with a 1080p 180hz
Cuz I hate the imprinted image left behind
Like if I have something high contrast open (like a text editor) in a small window
~$1-1.5K on wheels lol
If it's there for longer than an hour
I have a big-ass white imprint after closing it
That's there for like half an hour
Is that a lian li case motor….
Chill bro it was like $73
what
Damn which one?
Hold on
SFX psu but ATX Mobo?
Mini snow edition I think. It was on Woot for cheap a month or two ago
What sort of weird contraption is this
Used from my friend. He sold that, his 5900X, and 64GB with it for $200
Yeah
Okay that's a sick score
Right???
lol
the mobo on top makes me nervous
Is 5090 out yet 
@mortal grail actually
Take a gander what 50 series card will be available for me to buy for 380k HUF (the price of a used 4080)
Sold out
My guess is MAYBE a 5070 non-Tie
And then my old 6800 XT as well while I have my friend's TUF 6800 XT (also $200)
5070 Ti if you're lucky

Inb4 I'll not be able to buy 50 series for the price of a 4080
lol it's in the case already. The box just had some spare parts and hardware
5070 would be what I'm getting here for a used 4080 price by the looks of things
4080 reminds me…
That
Costcos around the US are heavily discounting display models
Oddly feels like a not terrible deal
4080S build for 1600 sounds fair-ish
Damn I forgot what a good deal is by now
1400 is around what my 7800x3d and 4070 super cost me…
Mhm
Fomo hitting me hard rn
The 3rd pic a guy paid 1200 for a 4080S build
Costco vs Micro Center
You can't predict deals like this
You need to be in the right place at the right time
Why am i always in the wrong place and wrong time 
Jk
You wouldn't feel this burn if a 7900XT was still in that pc rn ☠️
But yeah I'm gonna have to save up for a WHILE to get that build I want
Lmfao
Felix pays too much because he's Australian
This more than anything else is true 
Ur allowed to feel my meat
True, I work out what's good before it's released
And I'm busy asking you every time kek
Tbh that's a feed
Kek

Came for PC builds
Stayed for tip jokes
Don't forget to drip your faucet this winter lads
Once again I get a dpc watchdog error
No idea what's causing it
whocrashed doesn't help
Ram probably
yikes
I don't got cash to replace my ram if it's really bork

It likes to happen once every month
I think it's time I whip out testmem and run that
Dpc watchdog iirc is a stability watchdog for ram channels
Dimm per channel watchdog?
I could be wrong
It's not cpu or gpu tho
Cpu is clock watchdog
Gpu would be something like video tdr, code 43, nvddmlmkm.dll etc
I'm suspect of ram or imc personally
Could be wrong tho I haven't googled to double check
yeh it's dpc watchdog
it never happened until i started using win 11 23h2 tho
curious..
DPC watchdog is GPU related
it was the big error when the 13/14th gen instability issue broke
Ok you made me google it
Ram instability
Or bad driver
was checking it on Reddit myself
Last entry is dpc watchdog, drivers/ram instability/bad windows update
@elfin mural do sfc scan and ram test
No just ram
which software do i wanna run for ram test
Tm5
Anta777 extreme1
oki
running sfc first rn
Did it fix them all
seems so
"able to repair them" yes?
I alone am the honored one
Close everything else down and go off for a couple hours
ok imma do that
The point is it uses all the ram to test so stop using the laptop
Close everything let it run
Nah, I'd win

Now that’s what we call a graphic card
Heater*
Thing goes up to 750w
I dunno 12hwpr specs but I guess it's that high
Itz 600w..
Needs more IG 💀
Pcie + eps
That's cpu + gpu lad
Gpu itself pulls up to 650W regularly with spikes above that
Still a heater bro
Lol fine
Man I don't like the way undervolting works on RDNA3, why fix what wasn't broken
Wym fix
i has question
Cheezeburger?
is it ok if it has like less than 1gb of ram available while tm5 is testing
it's not completely filling it up
You optimally run it without anything else open, it'll fill up the ram itself
It will choose what it needs
safe mode ideally ig
Undervolting on RDNA1-2 was very straightforward but this one has you fiddling with the clock speed alot more, instead of relying on fixed max voltage it's just the boosting algorithm doing the work
ok
You can mess with the clock speed now?
You couldn't when I was overclocking it
Heck on max load it can only go as low as 837mv, if I set the voltage lower than 837 on adrenalin, nothing happens
Doesn't go lower it seems
Well yeah the slider goes only so low
But the asic quality determines the need
Nvidia does the same thing
Dang
You can move sliders and sometimes it ignores based on the perfcap
40 series is a great example
Crank the power stupid high, it rarely uses all of it completely
Why? Cos the limit isn't power, it's voltage
Ryzen and RDNA behave very similarly in overclocking
You need to think of it more like that
PPT, EDC, etc
But on a gpu
Granted rdna doesn't actually list these things but the boost target behaviour is extremely similar
PBO yeets the power, and radeon will boost to that power just like ryzen pbo
cheap
Yo. This is my first time using Newegg and I just wanted to get a second opinion
I preordered a B850 mobo a week before it launched and it said it wasn’t back ordered
Now it says it should ship by 3/2/2025 but the product page says ETA 1/31/2025
Feeling kinda duped like my order got lost in the mix somehow. Or does this sound normal?
It was supposed to be a Valentine’s Day gift….
Would love to help but this sounds like a question for newegg cs
None of us work for newegg
And I am not sure anyone here has the two cents experience to tell exactly what happens
If it's any consolation though, B650 boards are very equitable too if you can't wait
Not really any drawbacks worth mentioning
For sure just waiting for them to open
Many of us don't really shop newegg often lmao
We're all price hunters here
I don't get paid to shill them so yeah go with what you think is best lol
I mean depending on how this customer service chat goes it might be my last time 💀
I don't expect them to screw you over, it's likely some sort of manufacturer delay or shipment issue
But don't feel obliged to commit to a preorder
I often tell everyone preorders aren't ever worth it
Yea I guess I’ll look into b650 if I have to I just saw the B850 WiFi for $10 more and a little better power phases
It was a good price
Which b850 and how much
ASRock B850M Pro-A WiFi $139
Ooo
Ok fair enough
See what they say, if it doesn't sound good, the B650M one is decent enough
That's a nice price tho
We shall see
If you can hold on a little longer it's likely worth the tenner haha
the more you know
Both rdna 3 and ryzen boost to ppt as much as possible
I think it was a shipment Oopsie tbh but I’m afraid they won’t have the stock to rectify it, but maybe they will price match the Pro RS board for me or at least meet me halfway with a $15 credit. I’ll let you know how it goes
If you want to undervolt, start with a power cap
Yeah let us know lad
Patience is a virtue, be nice to them and they'll likely be very helpful
if only the power limit was -15
😂
Why do you want it so much lower anyway
You can use mpt and mct
to feel good
Mpt just doesn't let you go over target
MPT does not work on RDNA 3
SOURCE???
It just won't do higher than stock power
Eh
Listen to my words
LOL
MPT was favoured for a higher ppt
It never broke, it was just THAT PART that broke
i see
Due to the die security and bios locks
They don't let you set whatever but you can definitely edit what's existing
I'm like 95% sure of this and I haven't opened MPT/MCT in years
Open it and find out

fine
clock
tick tock the cpu clock is cooking
Yo guv’na what is the cheapest you think I could snag 2x16 6000 CL30 sticks if I waffle about price hunting?

About $80
Silicon power typically
didn't accept my bios
Okay bet yea
Ok and what does mct do
Ok and try gpu power 85
doesn't change: resets to 90
Ok I'm wrong then
That's sad
Maybe they changed it to that, I remember the lower power targets working at one point tho
But not higher
My brain isn't the most reliable tho
Lol
Tick tock heavy like a Brink's truck looking like I'm tip top shining like a wrist watch

ill mess with the tdc
359 x 150 x 76 mm
Notice the three variables
Power voltage tdc
Like
Ryzen pbo
😳

Ppt edc tdc
Same stuff
Radeon follows very similar behaviour
Rdna does anyway

Reviews for the RTX 5090 are now live, and for our first look at card for someone that isn't NVIDIA themselves, we have the ROG ASTAL from ASUS, a monster of a card with a price tag to match, but does that monster price tag at least get justified with superior gaming performance and coolin...
RGB diamonds
Is draw lower tho
Less current is a big jump
Yes it's slightly lower
From around 206w to around 190w
Man that FE makes the astral look so bad 💀💀💀
I'll definitely test more when I get home later on
200MHz but only a few degrees
It really can't be said enough how impressive the FE is
Thank felix tech tools for giving you the undervolt you hoped for
I'm stupid but I get it right eventually
I need that on a poster
😂
Lol thanks, didn't think moreclocktool had one more option, but if that exists why won't AMD add tdc option in adrenalin?
T-shirt
If people don't ask, they don't give

this is the stupidest thing I've seen in ages
Guess that's the case
ROG tax is very real
800 more…..
For less than 10 percent performance
So mid
Ryzen 7 9800x3d just shipped out and I will have it soon
whelp
welcome to the club of greats
I'll be joining as soon as I can too lel
pc elitism 
me stuck w a 7800x3d 😦
At least I have 12 cores (7900X)
||I have 7 6090’s||
apple m1 still best processor ever made
M3 says otherwise
I almost got in a fight
m3 didn’t have the same impact as m1 though
wasn’t as revolutionary
and to your point, m4 > m3
yeah well i have an m1 so therefore im biased and my opinion is correct
well said zach
"I have the weakest M chip so my opinion is best" wrong, they're all good
Hm
sometimes general chat feels like a kindergarten classroom where the little anklebiters randomly say stuff about their family that other people shoulnd’t know lol
yeah
just waiting for somebody to be like "I throat punched my mom because she unplugged my PC mid-game"

anyone here had issues with their iphone not delivering push notifications? been driving me insane
from what i can tell on reddit, it appears to be an issue with the iphone 13 line specifically
on Discord? yeah it's been a problem for months
well, discord, but everything else too
i only get notifications for messages and email. everything else like whatsapp, snapchat, groupme, etc. nothing comes through
snapchat comes through once a day in a bulk notification for snaps that were sent hours ago, and the notifications don’t include bitmojis, only the snapchat logo
its the weirdest bug ever

im trying to update my phone to a beta build to see if that would somehow fix it. i was on the latest stable release prior
you have to pay for your chromebooks??? that's crazy
Do you get to keep post-graduation?
