CPU will turbo boost as it needs it

oh hey gigabyte released a new bios for my mobo with agesa 1.2.0.2

oh okk

i am not looking forward to retuning my manual ram oc
though apparently secondaries/tertiaries usually don't need to be changed?
esp not moving from like 3733 to 3800?
i know my ram is capable of 3800c14 at 1.5v, cpu was not capable of 1900 fclk without WHEA hell on agesa 1.2.0.1
current settings
wish ryzen could tune tREFI
seeing mobo automatically set tREFI so low is sad
my laptop is running tREFI at 41.89ns stable
stoic island
1900 fclk = 1900 WHEAs
earnest olive
ryzen desktop stuck at 7.8ns
lol true
from what i understand tREFI tuning can be huge for performance
tight sorrel
something very wrong. I got a 3950x that doesnt go above 60c with a medium range AIO. Is your pump/block properly mounted, and has the protective plastic been removed from the bottom of the pump/block?
earnest olive
zen 3 runs a lot hotter than zen 2
and i'm talking about prime95 small ffts avx
if i had a bad mount/plastic still there it would be pinned 90C at idle lol
tight sorrel
90c doesnt sound right man. Zen 3 supposed to be more power efficient than Zen 2
earnest olive
if i crank fans like an idiot at idle i can drop it down to like 30C

but damn... my 5600x with ryzen master auto oc only hits 65 max with 240 mm aio

"ambient cooling"?
rich helm
so it was 110F outside and 104F in my room
Weak
earnest olive
third place is using phase change cooling
second place is using chilled water
first place is using LN2
delicious
little osprey
nope . it slowing down to 4.7 couse thermal ig or power
earnest olive
ambient cooling being a cooling solution you could actually run daily @tight sorrel
air, aio, custom water (unchilled)
little osprey
let me boost all fans to max and check again
earnest olive
called so because you cannot get your temps below ambient temp
little osprey
ugh corsair fans loud as jet
earnest olive
sub-ambient cooling has some active element that reduces temps below the surrounding air (water chiller, liquid nitrogen, etc.)
little osprey
liquid nitrogen cooling would be cool lol but I just have h110 😂
earnest olive
such as this lovely 6.7ghz 11900K

that's normal when not overclocking
@snow wasp what are your ambient temps? i used to live in brooklyn it snowed in april
very hostile environment for native californian

No snow in late spring this time around but I get around 35 idle
earnest olive
ambient as in room temperature
earnest olive
mine fluctuates between 85-90 with ambient temp of 25C
little osprey
anyways overclocking is eh . I'll leave it alone
earnest olive
so 60-65C ΔT over ambient
overclocking is fun
hitting the 5ghz magic number is fun
i got 5ghz on my laptop that was a gamer moment

hows that daisy chained?
thats how pcie cables look lol
rich helm
desert gulch
ye thats normal
rich helm
Optimally you should use separate ones
desert gulch
nah
rich helm
But just realized it’s a gtx card
rich helm
nah
I swear I’m not crazy and that I’ve heard this, that one cable can only take so much wattage so on higher end cards it’s better to use two separate psu cables
lyric thistle
👌
desert gulch
@earnest olive plz tell
lyric thistle
is the shape it makes
earnest olive
depends on the card and the psu
official spec is 150W per cable
but high quality power supplies will have overbuilt cables that can deliver more than spec
south jewel
Is 650w good for a 3070?
earnest olive
they wouldn't be putting daisy chains on high quality units if you weren't meant to be able to use them
desert gulch
Is 650w good for a 3070?
what cpu?
south jewel
R5 3600
rich helm
Is 650w good for a 3070?
It’s doable but optimally 750w
earnest olive
my 3080 has no problem running full 370W off of a single cable
would i recommend doing it? no
south jewel
It’s doable but optimally 750w
Alr thx I will not be OC
earnest olive
is it the end of the world? if you're not having issues, no
south jewel
Alr thx guys
desert gulch
and that dudes is a GTX
rich helm
3060ti only having a single 8 pin
desert gulch
meaning it doesnt prolly pull that much power
neat marten
Yeah it pushes 250 watts
earnest olive
250W is only a 25W overdraw over official spec
neat marten
think i should run a seperate run eh?
lyric thistle
psu's last legs
neat marten
My PSU is a brand new corsair 750 watt
earnest olive
it is technically better to not daisy chain if you can avoid it
neat marten
btw hows everyone doing tonight?
earnest olive
but it's not a big deal
yeah I have a corsair txm 750
no problem running a 3080 on daisy chain
neat marten
XD
earnest olive
I run 2 cables anyways but was testing out of curiosity
neat marten
Probably close to same power consumption
earnest olive
370 watts?
neat marten
Jesus!!!!
neat marten
I thought after Maxwell cards would get more efficient!!!!!
earnest olive
they are
neat marten
Thats a whole lotta heat to dissapate as well
earnest olive
if you knocked down a 3080 to 980ti perf it would barely break a sweat
neat marten
Yeah i get what your sayin there
earnest olive
could probably keep pace with a 980ti using like 100 watts
neat marten
that makes sense and the 980ti would still be pulling in effect 200
so thats 2x effic
earnest olive
980ti is similar perf to a 1660 super which tends to draw around 120 watts and is on an older arch
980ti official tdp is 250w I'm sure you can make it draw more
neat marten
Crazy how these gpus evolve
earnest olive
1080ti official tdp is 250W but I had it overclocked to 375W
neat marten
my whole sys can draw 500 watts with OC 5600x and GTX Titan X
Thats alot of watts lol
neat marten
what kinda cooling setup ya got?
neat marten
Thats crazy as hell
earnest olive
was not actually running them both at full power though lol
neat marten
Not recomended anyway lol
earnest olive
that image answers your question about my cooling setup though
neat marten
I wanna get a 3060. Yeah rockin the air setup lol
im surprised you could get that perf on air
I need at least a 3060....i dont wanna downgrade on the vram
rich helm
I need at least a 3060....i dont wanna downgrade on the vram
More vram doesn’t always mean better

nice build tho for sure
earnest olive
i mean he's got a titan he probably does ML/renders or something
rich helm
True
earnest olive
3080ti has 12gb as well
rich helm
Would a 3060 out perform a titan in renders tho
rich helm
True lol
neat marten
OOOoooo all the Nvidia skus......
earnest olive
if you are running vram intensive workload you could also look at AMD side
rx 6800, 6800xt, and 6900xt all got 16gb
neat marten
Thats deff my upgrade path....6800 or 3060
earnest olive
i don't think a 3060 is a great upgrade from a 980ti
earnest olive
yeah it's only like 30% better in gaming
3060 kinda sucks
it's identical to 2060 super in gaming performance
neat marten
I had no clue....i thought it would be a bigger perf bump
earnest olive
3060 is the black sheep of ampere
neat marten
yeah thats not a huge increase lol
earnest olive
3060ti is like 30% better than 3060
neat marten
if this card will last i may wait or go Amd I dont need all the rtx crap
earnest olive
8gb is enough for 1440p and 4K now and will be enough for 1440p for the foreseeable future
rtx 3070 will go obsolete before 8gb vram does
same with rtx 3080 and 10gb
neat marten
right right
earnest olive
but yeah 3060 bad
not big enough upgrade from titan x
get 3060ti or rx 6700xt minimum
neat marten
I deff agree
My thing tho is my monitor right now is only 1080p lol I would like to have a spare care in case this one bites the dust lol
a spare cheap card lol
I used to have a 1440p monitor
I was doing 4k gaming when the 980ti was coming into market
lyric thistle
would you do 4k on a 1660 super 
neat marten
Had trouble maintaining 60fps tho at 4k
lyric thistle
yea 😔
people seem to get okay results going up to like 1440p with some 1080p cards like that
neat marten
In triple A titles my old ass card still holds its own at 1440 and obviously 1080p
I used to have a GTX 970 and it was good at 1440 as well
lyric thistle
my friend uses an rx 480 at 1440p
works for them I guess
I'll stick with 1080p with my 970
neat marten
I wanna get a high refresh 1080p or 1440p and need a gpu that will do 144 hz
lyric thistle
I'm stuck with sub 30 fps
earnest olive
damn what are you playing that pushes the 970 below 1080p30
lyric thistle
nothing
neat marten
Yeah right?
earnest olive
i had one game that pushed my old 1060 6gb below 30 fps at 1080p ultra
neat marten
You should be able to play almost anything @1080 p with a 970 lol
neat marten
Dayumm lol
lyric thistle
I think most of what I'll play is mc with shaders, assetto, wt, and probably forza if I ever get that
some gtav mayb
neat marten
I used to run GTA 5 on a 970 with everything on high 60 fps 1440
lyric thistle
ez game to run p much
lyric thistle
I'll also have gta sa, nfs world, nfs underground in there too so not all graphically demanding stuff 
might even play cities skylines
neat marten
Should be a pretty decent experience
lyric thistle
I'm excited
earnest olive
gotta remember that gta 5 was made to run on the ps3
lyric thistle
yea
earnest olive
ps3 gpu is a slightly overclocked 7800 GTX
lyric thistle
very small gpu
non unified shaders
an okay amount of rops tho which my gt 730 does not have
got like 8 rops
earnest olive
according to passmark the gtx 970 has 4381% of the performance of the 7800GTX
so...
neat marten
that thing should 4k all day ;^P
lyric thistle
xd
earnest olive
if the game is designed to run on a 7800 GTX it'll run great on a gpu that's 44 times stronger
neat marten

as for the ps3 cpu it's really hard to compare because it's not at all similar to any normal pc hardware

Also, had a weird question. Would it be okay to just use the same SATA power cable to run both the one hard drive and the fan hub for my case fans? Or do I need to go ahead and plug in two to the PSU?
covert vapor
Your SATA power cable has multiple connection points on the same cable yeah? It'll be fine, as most SATA power cables are designed to power more than one thing like a hard drive
The good ones that come with psus (usually) are able to at least, I dunno about some ketchup and mustard cable you can find cheap on Amazon

my Lenovo CH81m has an output on the board next to the 14 pin board power that goes to the hard drives

Hey can someone can answer my question? I will soon get a rtx 3080 and I was wondering what brand and model should I get
robust lake
@little osprey doesnt realy matter tbh ,you can always put thermal pads if the vram gets too hot . Just get whatever in stock
If you can choose i would get the ftw3 or strix
little osprey
Well do u want me to show you my options ?
robust lake
Yeah
little osprey
Ok I will screenshot and I will send them
I have €1030 and I think my budget is €1350 with is the auros master
little osprey
Yeah but they are the cheapest in market
robust lake
But if you will get it anyway i would get the msi ventus one for 1300
little osprey
But don’t worry I would get the money back lots of tournament with price bulls are happening
robust lake
The strix is the best but 200 more euros not worth it..
little osprey
What about the auros master ? I think is around my budget plus I heard is pretty good
robust lake
Is that the water cooled one?
robust lake
The air cooled one has some vram issues i think
little osprey
Yeah but I think they fixed it
robust lake
Need to research it if they did its a good one i guess
robust lake
If they fixed the thermal pads issue it should be good yeah
Just look into it before buying
little osprey
Soo master it is ?
fossil cedar
Just get whatever card you can get for the cheapest they all perform within 1 or 2%
vague oracle
As long as it isn’t zotac or gigabyte but gigabyte is more of a personal issue
Their RMA process is horrible
Sent a card to them 6 times and they still haven’t repaired it
fossil cedar
No it really doesn't matter which one
If it's a 3080 and want to mine with gigabyte or zotac, they will want to add/replace thermal pads but just whichever you can get at cheapest

potent portal
Sometimes
wicked frigate
Does it matter on my router
Because I need to get a new one
I need to get a router of 1500square feet
potent portal
If your wifi connection speed reported by windows exceeds your isp speed rating it should be the same speed wired and wireless.
muted patio
Exactly. Ethernet speeds won't do you any good if your internet speed is only 200 MB/s
potent portal
Then it won't matter, and unless you need every ms of latency you can use wireless just fine
muted patio
So at that point, ethernet won't make it any faster. WiFi should be fine depending on signal strength
wicked frigate
I meant wouldn’t I get packet loss
potent portal
Only in extreme cases or very old routers
muted patio
Just means your WiFi is bad. I get 0 packet loss
wicked frigate
And I get 0%
Ohh
But I think it’s my router
Because I get 80 speed when my plan is 100
muted patio
Need to do a ping test
wicked frigate
Ok
muted patio
see where the packet loss is
wicked frigate
But should I get a new router
potent portal
Tracert time
wicked frigate
see where the packet loss is
How
muted patio
Not without knowing where the issue is
sacred kayak
idk
wicked frigate
Also
Mine disconnects in middle of me playing because it says dns servers can’t be found
Kr something like that
potent portal
That's your isp for that issue
wicked frigate
How do I fix that
muted patio
loss
muted patio
Then do it later
wicked frigate
I am in school lol
potent portal
You can manually set to the Google dns and you shouldn't have the dns issue any more
muted patio
Maybe
flint sapphire
wicked frigate
Ok
Wait guys another thing
When I build my pc I am going to build but I won’t have a gpu is that ok but won’t turn it on
Like should I mount the aio
And screw the pump
potent portal
It won't boot unless you have a gpu or your processor has a built in gpu
muted patio
Yo shouldn't buy anything until you have a GPU
Warranties and return periods are ticking away
Get a GPU then buy the other parts that are accessible
wicked frigate
Warranties and return periods are ticking away
Oh I already got everything
I mean I do that’s an 1050ti
muted patio
Then leave it in the boxes until you're ready to build
potent portal
That'll work to get it built and tested at least
wicked frigate
I am using it in my old build rn
Wait if I screw in My pump will anything happen to the thermal paste
If I don’t use my pc at all
potent portal
No it's shelf stable, you could leave it in the box for a year and it would still be usable. It's fine being attached and unused the same way.
wicked frigate
What about it being attached and not being used for a year
potent portal
That's fine too. It'll start to dry out eventually but that takes years
muted patio
If you're not going to use it for a year send it back XD
wicked frigate
No I will I was making up an example
Also
Do I have to replace the thermal paste
After being used a lot
Or no
potent portal
You'll start to notice the temperature being higher than usual for the time of year and cleaning the fans and radiator don't help
potent portal
Yeah you just wipe off the old paste with 90% isopropyl alcohol
And then put new paste
That applies to air coolers too, and gpu
wicked frigate
How do I do it on a gpu
potent portal
Lower end stuff like your 1050 ti it won't make much difference on since it doesn't run hot anyway
But you can unscrew the heatsink on a gpu and wipe /repaste the same way as a cpu
wicked frigate
Ok
potent portal
If it was a 1080 ti it might be time to replace the paste by now
wicked frigate
Wait so will 1050ti work for now
Or I might just plug it in for now
Get windows all that and take it out
And put it my old system
potent portal
Yeah you can do 1080p medium - high gaming on a 1050 ti still
muted patio
011 is a bad case IMO, airflow is so gross
potent portal
Because it looks cool when you fill all the fan slots with rgb
wicked frigate
I mean 9 fans though
muted patio
bad airflow tho
wicked frigate
Yah
muted patio
Can't balance it
potent portal
Probably not, it's just not ideal
potent portal
Run the exhaust fans faster than the intake
muted patio
Because air will be imbalanced and not move
potent portal
- That would be very loud and annoying
- It won't move air as effectively
wicked frigate
9 intake front and bottom
6
So what should I put the fan speed for intake and exhaust
potent portal
If you have 3 intake and 3 exhaust, they can be equal speeds. If you have radiators on your intake, you can have one or two more intake and have it be pretty balanced still. Any more unbalanced than that, you'll need to play with it to see what the best settings are.
potent portal
6 intake and 3 exhaust through radiator? Not ideal by any stretch.
You'd probably need to run the exhaust near max speed constantly
wicked frigate
Not like 3 exhaust on radio rn
And rest are intake from bottom and front
Or is that not good
potent portal
You could front mount the radiator as an intake and it would help a little
wicked frigate
I have 011
Let me try the packet thing
Wtf is this
Guys
It just says replying from 1.1.1.1
Than it says bytes= time= and TTL=
muted patio
mmmhmmm
wicked frigate
Ummmmm
potent portal
Wait for the 100 pings to go through and it will tell you at the end how many were lost
wicked frigate
Ok
potent portal
Along with min /max /average stats
potent portal
Doesn't matter, ping packets are teeny tiny
wicked frigate
I am download something
Updating
And that’s what I says lol
Ok I got the results
Now what
muted patio
Did it report any packet loss?
wicked frigate
Is says lost=o (0% loss)
muted patio
Good
wicked frigate
But than why does it kick me out of my games
muted patio
SOuth America ya?
potent portal
Latency probably, that can be router, isp, or even game server
muted patio
Probs game server
potent portal
Often yeah
muted patio
If on East and playing on West for example
potent portal
If it's a CoD server there's not really a way to fix that lol

Yea only 2 fans needed right? That’s y I’m just gonna stay away from it and try to get a 3070 off Amazon alerts
$630 for a evga 3070

More fans isn't a bad thing lol, it'll stay nice and cool

It's just a bit longer than the average 3060

More fans isn't a bad thing lol, it'll stay nice and cool
That’s y I want a 3 fan card so I can have piece of mind that my freaking house won’t blow up
I play warzone
A pretty heavy game
potent portal
3070 has more risk of overheating depending on which model you get. A few brands put no thermal pads on the VRAM.
Which is easy to fix of course, you just have to take it apart and add more
south jewel
Do you know evga? I
muted patio
I have one, it's fine
south jewel
Thx
potent portal
Yeah iirc they put a few pads, but not the best. Still sufficient for gaming, not so much mining.

That’s the one I wanna get

Anecdotal reports of course, different people will have different results
supple gale
so.. front usb on this pc. one of the ports is badly damaged, the other is fine. the wire to plug them in is separate for each port but they connect at the base of the wire where you plug it in. plugging them in causes "usb device over current status detected"
exactly how dangerous would it be to just cut off the one wire leading to the dead port
potent portal
Just don't cross the wires and you're fine
A little electrical tape on the end after you snip the cable will make sure it doesn't short
supple gale
imagine this wire heads to the front IO
snipping the bad one fine with electric tape
got it
now to find my electric tape.
potent portal
Best to snip at the point where the wire splits off to the port
Make sure if there's multiple wires inside the sleeve, the ends don't touch
supple gale
got it thanks 
wicked frigate
Hey guys so I will have may softwares for my rgb is there a way I can connect all of them so like the rgb sync together
potent portal
You can try openrgb but it might not work for everything
wicked frigate
Anythib else
potent portal
The different softwares are kind of designed not to cooperate with each other lol

Make sure if there's multiple wires inside the sleeve, the ends don't touch

Prebuilt or parts list?
empty cipher
I have a AMD Ryzen 3600 and a RX 5500 XT put onto a ASUS ROG B550-F Gaming Motherboard.
It can get 120 FPS on medium graphics in stuff like warzone and some other newer games.
fossil cedar
Thats an okay pc but would not recommend that for someone trying to buy atm
empty cipher
No, definitely not. I got lucky and bought a pre-built and upgraded with parts that I was working on from a different PC.

Ehh I'll see what i can do but 1k is a bit ehhh also it's very hard to get gpus atm

A 650 should be able to play Subnautica.

Put with maybe a AMD 3 1200 or so.
On maybe medium settings.
misty heron
He could put a 3600
fossil cedar
Ehh I'd recommend an i5 11500 and waiting on getting a gpu
empty cipher
That would put things in play especially for a few better games.
I am just recommending something you can still get for cheap.
Well, cheaper.
misty heron
He has 1k budget
empty cipher
Ahh
Okay
Didn't see budget.
A Ryzen 5 3600 would be perfect.
That's what I have.
muted patio
Intel 10400F is cheaper and more FPS in games. 😉
muted patio
Yes
empty cipher
And then wait on a GPU or get a 1650 to settle on for now. Like $350-$400 on New Egg.
muted patio
Intel 10400F/B560 motherboard and DDR4 3200 ram
misty heron
Ah we at microcenter rn
fossil cedar
A Ryzen 5 3600 would be perfect.
R5 3600 is like 220 now at that price you can get an i5 11500 and use that till you actually get a gpu

Yeah, AMD is better for processing some things, but I think Intel would be better for rendering games.

Depends on the budget TBH
misty heron
I dont c it at microcenter rip

@misty heron https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mXgjMv that's what I'd do, use the i5s integrated graphics till they can fine a 3060 or 3060 ti founders edition
