well certainly has an effect

modern walrus
#

darnit why wouldn't CoolerMaster offer a top mesh piece

#

I guess a dust filter isn't that important up there since there's constant positive pressure

lavish tundra
#

Lol nah

#

P95 best torture test

modern walrus
#

Once I get somewhere close to stable I'll try it again

#

Otherwise it's like okay start... 10 seconds... Tj max 7/10 cores & computer frozen

#

Then I have to hit the switch on the power supply before everything bursts into flames

#

Btw too bad I don't live in a colder climate. 10900K makes a great space heater

lavish tundra
#

what are you using to get close to stable?

#

@modern walrus

#

how

tall pelican
#

special gigabyte bios from madlad?

modern walrus
#

@lavish tundra CB then OCCT for about an hour then RealBench then OCCT for like 5 hours

#

I mostly just spin wheels & get nowhere

modern walrus
#

maybe throw a 3d mark in there just to switch it up

proven canopy
lavish tundra
#

You are running ram tests and benchmarks

#

Literally 0 of your ocs are stable

sudden torrent
#

CB is at least close to a gaming load, so sure it might not be 99.9% rock stable but good enough for gaming

lavish tundra
#

Talk to sippy about this

#

Lemme pong him actually

lavish tundra
proven canopy
#

R20 might be close, but definitely not r15 for modern games

sudden torrent
#

Were they doing R15 though? I didn't see that part. I assumed R23.

lavish tundra
#

Cinebench is a benchmark not a stress test

#

2 different uses

proven canopy
#

If you want something canned - run time spy gt2 looped, or x265 4k for cpu only

#

Or both lol

lavish tundra
#

Prime95 for stability, followed by cinebench for comparing perf

proven canopy
#

Overkill

#

You'll lose 100+mhz that way (doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things)

lavish tundra
#

And if ya really want true stable, use ycruncher

#

Forks did ya know small ffts isnt even 100% stable?

#

Small ffts stable can fail ycruncher

proven canopy
#

small fft doesn't really touch memory, ycruncher is one of the most memory intensive benchmarks there is

#

My pfp was a world record ycruncher 1b kek

lavish tundra
#

Oohhh nice

#

Was the only ln2 sub to be fair lol, but I took 1st on air before that

lavish tundra
#

Oohh cool

proven canopy
lavish tundra
#

How many power lines were you drawing from?!

proven canopy
#

Lol, nothing exotic. I'll run 240v for 18c if/when I do that though

#

Maybe dual 1620w supermicro server psu/pdb

lavish tundra
#

1kw is more than most outlets can output tho right?

proven canopy
#

Nope, ~1800watts minimum from any typical built to code american household outlet

quick rose
#

Yep

lavish tundra
#

Ahh i see

quick rose
#

That's a 15 amp circuit

#

20 amp breaker can do more

lavish tundra
#

The max that home circuits go here is 10 amp

#

Most of em are 5 amp tho

sudden torrent
lavish tundra
#

Yep

proven canopy
#

Where is here

lavish tundra
#

India

proven canopy
#

ah

#

Yeah you guys are on 240v 50hz

lavish tundra
#

Yep

modern walrus
#

oh man sorry everyone

#

I missed a good lesson

#

(like for real, y'all know stuff I don't)

#

It's R23 btw

#

This I actually do know about. I don't recommend it, but on a 15 amp breaker, you'd have #14 wire.

#

Unless your wiring is old, it's probably THHN

#

so rated for 90

#

the ampacity of a #14 wire is 25 amps

#

code requires #14 to be on a 15 amp breaker, just like it requires #12 to be on a 20 amp breaker but the ampacity of #12 at 90 degrees is 30 amps

#

long story short, if you temporarily swapped the 15 for a 20a breaker you wouldn't be doing anythign too crazy

#

but you should never do that disclaimer

#

lol

#

just like #10 is required by code to be on a 30 amp breaker but has a 40a rating

#

is your 240v on a single phase?

#

i.e. one hot wire?

zenith palm
#

I was debating undervolting my 3070, would the undervolt have to be different for my mining profile or can i just use the one v/f curve?

lavish tundra
zenith palm
lavish tundra
#

Think so yeah

#

you can do multiple pofiles

zenith palm
#

Wasn't sure if the v/f curve applied to all of afterburner or not

#

But i don't see a mem v/f curve type thingy

unkempt bear

What's overclocking?

W o W

Thanks

modern walrus
#

MSI gaming carbon wifi won't post after BIOS update. I'm sure RMA will take forever. Any suggestions on better/more OC friendly boad for 10900K? Thinking ASUS

lavish tundra
modern walrus
#

I don't have a BIOS flashback button

#

heck let me check out the manual

#

I already reset CMOS, removed CMOS battery for about 45 minutes, & reseated RAM including only putting one RAM in A1

#

I can't even get into BIOS. No Display

dull ginkgo
#

any EVGA board is just great for oc

modern walrus
#

why did you use strikethrough? lol

tall pelican
#

because only their darks are good for overclocking

modern walrus
#

okay so EVGA is the best way to go? I was gonna get ASUS to match my graphics card but that's a dumb basis upon which to decide isn't it?

tall pelican
#

if you're on a 10900k, just get a gigabyte z590 imo

#

you have elite, ultra and master for your $200, $300 and $400 price points

modern walrus
#

Z590 > Z490?

tall pelican
#

yes

modern walrus
#

dumb questions again my bad

tall pelican
#

tldr saves you $100 and gives you better memory overclocking

#

z590 ultra = z490 master, but z590 has better bios support

modern walrus
#

AORUS elite?

tall pelican
#

yup, its a good board

modern walrus
#

Triple M.2 faaancy

tall pelican
#

only 2 will work with 10th gen

modern walrus
#

oh. heck

tall pelican
#

that's with all z590

modern walrus
#

I see. Ya I think I'm gonna order this AORUS elite then. ASUS TUF looks kinda nice too but I trust your advice over my trying to match parts

#

Any advantage UD v. Elite v. Master that makes it worth shelling out an extra $200?

tall pelican
#

UD is trash

modern walrus
#

okay so Elite at least

tall pelican
#

elite is cheap, master is high end, ultra is middle ground of both

#

like elite uses solid vrm heatsinks, ultra and master have finned heatpipes

modern walrus
#

Xtreme is $850. that's crazy

#

I'm sure gonna miss DragonCenter

#

haha

#

what about Vision?

modern walrus
#

ok nvm theh lol

tall pelican
#

just look up bios pics of vision

modern walrus
#

oh ya that needs darkmode

#

Elite is looking nice price wise... Worth the extra $70 for ultra you think?

#

The other thing is I'm wondering if it's worth going all out for a 10900K. I really don't see myself upgrading to 11th gen & 12th will probably be a new socket if they move to the 7nm AMD is using no?

quick rose
#

12th gen is going to be a new socket ya. LGA1700 IIRC.

modern walrus
#

What's the advantage of 590 over 490 then?

quick rose
#

Better memory OC

modern walrus
#

ah okay

#

How long does it take most people not to be clueless all the time? I guess some never get there

quick rose
#

Not a matter of being clueless, tech is hard to keep up with

#

Takes a lot of investment

modern walrus
#

ya I've really only been paying attention since February and already tons of stuff changed

quick rose
#

Welcome to the tech world XD

modern walrus
#

I saw XPG is putting out DDR5 RAM soon

#

or whatever the next level up is

quick rose
#

Gonna do it all again later in the year with new CPU's, new sockets and DDR5

#

For AMD and Intel

modern walrus
#

lol just when you think you have the newest crap along comes the next one

quick rose
#

Ya LOL

#

I'm not doing Ryzen 5000 series because of that

#

Depending on reviews of new AMD, I might go that route

modern walrus
#

oh great. Mine is in the mail

quick rose
#

That's fine, what I posted is my personal decision

#

DDR5 might suck at first

#

Have bugs

#

etc

modern walrus
#

ya but they'll fix it eventually

quick rose
#

Right

modern walrus
#

I think I'm gonna go with the AORUS ultra Z590

quick rose
#

Fitz knows his stuff, he won't steer you wrong

modern walrus
#

I don't see why Master is worth another $80 for me

#

I'd probably just go with elite but for the heatsinks

#

like Fritz said

#

otherwise I'd have no clue lol

#

If I hadn't come on here I'd probably would've just gone with ASUS not knowing any better

#

does gigabyte use different RGB headers?

#

That's mildly annoying

tall pelican
#

I personally use the ultra, since it has better rear io than master

#

"different" apart from 3 and 4 pin, 5v and 12v?

modern walrus
#

the actual plug

#

to connect to mobo

tall pelican
#

you must be looking at the wrong plug then

modern walrus
#

I just thought of it because when you get a splitter there's usually a different plug for Gigabyte than the one for MSI, etc

#

let me check I have an extra one around here somewhere

#

oh you know what I think I'm thinking of ASROCK

#

is that the same thing lol jeez

#

the header looks the same to me so whatever. I'll figure it out if anything. It's not a dealbreaker even if it is

prisma arch
#

thats bc i changed the all core to 4.2

modern walrus
#

My motherboard has that extra 4 pin connection I got some extensions but the pack only came with 1 4+4. I have two extra 3x2s. The other 4+4 from the PSU fits in no problem & the wires on the 3x2 stay in a straight line (ie line up to the exact same place on each end terminal. Ya one group of 2 will be not connected to anything but I'd rather that then connect without the extension. & ya I know that extra connection isn't needed. Any reason why I shouldn't use the 3x2?

#

Wait jk it won't fit right

zenith palm
#

Ehh don't mix wires

#

Also the 3rd 3 pin only gets used in ln2 overclocks anyway

modern walrus
#

Who's using these 3&3s? What are they even for?

#

I have two left over from my last build also

tall pelican
#

you're going to have to specify what 3 or 4 pin wire, since there's a lot

#

fans have 3 or 4, rgb has 3 or 4, molex is 3 or 4 (generally never 3, but its possible)

modern walrus
#

Was hoping I could use the wire in the latter picture to connect one of the 4s from the 4+4 in the former (the one that only one 4 of the 4+4 is getting used)

#

are you seeing those pictures? I just see blank spaces hmm

#

Oh well I'm over it

#

Now for cable management extravaganza (or another picture not going thru who knows?)

tall pelican
#

maybe try smaller pictures? Those are 9000x12000

#

oh, those are EPS and PCIE, you can wire them up properly to be able to use one, but I wouldnt

#

a 10900k will max out an 8 pin eps, and nvidia gpus are specced for the 6/8 pin pcie

zenith palm
modern walrus
#

This is for the 5900x

#

But thanks

#

you can't even see it anyway

zenith palm
#

You'd wanna do some extreme ln2 type oc to use the 3rd cpu 4 pin, no need yo plug in anyway

modern walrus
#

It was totally for the look I admit it

zenith palm
#

Buy a cable extension and stick it in without connecting to psu XD

modern walrus
#

Haha damn why didn't I think of that

#

I was all excited to get this pipe in now I keep avoiding doing it cuz it's such a mission

zenith palm
#

Lol

modern walrus
#

What is thunderbolt or thunderwhatever? Is that just usbc for Apple?

zenith palm
#

Ehh it was developed by intel and apple it just uses the usb c connector it can do data and display signal

#

And power ofc

modern walrus
#

Can a TB header be adapter to usb c? I need another connection for the case usbs lol

zenith palm
#

Ehhh sometimes they are backwards compatible, sometimes not, worth a try

modern walrus
#

This case has two of those like 19 pin connections but the motherboard only has one

#

I can adapt usb 2.0 but that's wack

zenith palm
#

Try the thunderbolt one i suppose

modern walrus
#

I tried getting a pcie to 19-pin. I guess pcie mini is for laptops cuz it didn't fit the mini pcies on the motherboard

#

Or the 8x

#

If they were minis Id be fine

zenith palm
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

modern walrus
#

Have you ever used any fans made by delta?

#

I saw a 120mm with a max rpm of 5500 lol

#

The reviews on Newegg are kinda funny

zenith palm
#

Jeez no

#

I've stock fans and arctic p12

modern walrus
#

I was researching earlier

#

The p12 is 2.2mmH2O static pressure.

#

There's a Delta

#

Model

#

AFB1212GHE-CF00 120mm that'll push 27.48 mmH2O & 241cfm

#

At 5200rpm & 62dB lol

#

Problem is the fan is 120x120x38 & doesn't fit anywhere. I ordered 3 of another delta 120 that pushes 150.33cfm & 12.43mmH2O at 4000rpm

#

Darn things still make 55dB

#

& you gotta get this adapter that reads pwm off the motherboard header but gets power directly off molex

#

because they draw up to like 50w so they'd fry the header

#

I'm gonna swap the p12s of the af2 & try those monsters.

#

They're only like $14

#

The Noctua industrial will push 7.63mmH2O & 110cfm at only 43dB but they're $38/each

#

Some review the guy was claiming he put a Delta fan & some unnamed case fan, both at full blast up close to each other & the delta made the other fan start spinning the opposite way

zenith palm
#

Btw industrial are gonna be load af

modern walrus
#

I hope my 750w power supply can handle 3 deltas, the 3060, the 10900k, 4 21 led strips, the led strips I put in the 3060, a cm 140 halo, 2 thermaltake riing trios, a 120 riing plus, & other misc crap

#

Now u got me worried lol

#

Is the a program that'll tell me total load on my PSU?

#

because I could be looking at another 150-180w with those fans

#

I found an adapter that turns 120v into a 3 pin fan header lol

#

I need pwm with those things tho for sure

zenith palm
#

Ehh you can do the math with hw info

#

I suppose

modern walrus
#

I think RealBench has a PSU option but I never even looked at it

#

Jeez what's an OC 10900k usually push wattage wise?

sterile flame
modern walrus
#

Like 230 or something insane?

#

56 according to my spreadsheet lol

sterile flame
#

can you give me the source or something because this sounds a little funny in terms of how loud it is but its 38mm

#

so

#

idk

#

probably would end up buying a set too

modern walrus
#

It's a 25

#

The ones I ordered

#

Give me a second I'll find it

sterile flame
#

prob gonna buy a set

modern walrus
#

Here's the megladon 230cfm, 21.6mmH20 6300rpm

#

The price on the first one is worth it.

#

If you end up hating them whatever it was a $50 risk

#

Wait no sorry

sterile flame
#

nah i'd be throwing them in a test bench for overclocking

modern walrus
#

This is the monster

sterile flame
#

don't care about the noise

modern walrus
#

$16

sterile flame
#

"corn electronics"

#

i really hate the vendor

modern walrus
#

240.96cfm

#

Haha that just sounds crappy

#

62dB lolol

#

Oh wait I'm looking at my sheet. The 1212DE will push 253cfm, 35.1mmH2O

#

I think that's the winner of the I don't care about anything else but performance award

#

$20.98 lol

#

5% off when you spend $26+

#

I wonder if you put enough of those on the bottom of a case if it could actually lift off

#

That fan & anything higher should me measured in pounds of thrust instead of mmH20

sterile flame
#

62db isn't loud

#

yelling is 80-90db

zenith palm
#

Still loud for fan

rough cairn
#

62db jesus

#

can you share that doc by any chance?

#

@modern walrus

modern walrus
#

Ya sorry one second

tall pelican
#

If you want airflow, get 38mm thick fans

lavish tundra
#

amazing stuff

proven canopy
#

Just running stock rn, will try upping bclock once I flash the bios

lavish tundra
#

keep us posted

sterile flame
#

I have a single fan 1650, would overclocking benefit much?

proven canopy
#

Try it and see, test with time spy

modern walrus
#

I'd use 38mm but then the Arctic F II wouldn't fit above the motherboard

#

It's already crunching the CPU power cables more than I'd prefer

#

what is a noise detection hardware monitor

lavish tundra
#

@finite frigate

#

ur score and my score

#

we both do be high up in the RX570 OC

modern walrus
#

This Aorus motherboard has so many more settings than the MSI I took out wow

modern walrus
#

So anyone know why this Aorus board keeps ignoring my vcore settings? I have it on override 😠

modern walrus
#

okay I guess I need to use fixed instead of override

tall pelican
#

Override is very different with gigabyte

finite frigate
#

Overflopping

lavish tundra
finite frigate
#

All

modern walrus
#

I got 51 all core, 48 ring to through 3.5 hours with OCCT, max temp at 89. Not great but way better than I ever did on the MSI board

#

You know those clowns still haven't responded to my RMA request? What great customer service

#

Once I get my megladon Delta fans I'll get like all core 51 at 78 degrees lol

#

I might've gotten like 87 degrees or lower if my AC hadn't automatically changed to 78 degrees because of the schedule I have set up. Taking that acrylic thing off so the heat can escape out the top of the case really helped

modern walrus
#

is 1.352v too high for system under load?

tall pelican
#

what cpu?

#

and gigabyte mobo right?

modern walrus
#

10900K and yes Aorus Z590 Ultra

tall pelican
#

is the 1.352 from VR Vout?

modern walrus
#

oh no it's from Vcore

#

I forgot I have VR VOUT now

tall pelican
#

vr vout is the die sense

#

yup

modern walrus
#

that's at 1.198

#

Good call btw

#

Once I figured out how to get things rolling, I really like this mobo

tall pelican
#

vr vout readings, ~1.45 idle and 1.35-1.4 load is ThumbsUp

modern walrus
#

oh wow so I still have some room to up the voltage if I can keep it cool

tall pelican
#

yup

#

I'd go med or high llc

modern walrus
#

I flipped my two rear exhaust fans to blow into the case so now all exhaust goes out of the top

#

I have it kinda rigged up until I get some 120x120x15mm slim fans so I can cut three holes into the top acrylic & mount them

#

I used the triple 120mm off the CM AIO I swapped

#

Gotta love that rig job huh? Haha

#

Man I gotta take pictures that end up being a smaller file size

#

No more 108 megapixel

tall pelican
#

nice

#

I need to eventually get around to moving some fans around

modern walrus
#

not exactly dust proof haha

tall pelican
#

Im at 9 intake and 4 exhaust lol

modern walrus
#

jeez

#

The Ryzen build I've been slow-stepping has 13 I think

#

so ya about the same

#

oh wait I forgot about 3 pull fans. So 16? can it be that many... 4x 200, 1x 140, & 10 120 ya

#

okay so 15

#

Why does vcore lie so bad?

#

btw I had LLC on Turbo. Think it's better to drop it?

tall pelican
#

yeah, better transients and same level of stability

#

you should be able to do something like 1.4 fixed with medium, and it'll droop to like 1.3 load

modern walrus
#

okay cool I'm gonna do that right now. The OS is acting a little goofy during OCCT rn so I'm sure I can use the extra. Like the thermaltake fans will go back to default rainbow colors for a second or two then come back

#

So though I've made progress, "stable" still alludes me

#

The only YouTube video I could find using the newer BIOS was some dude doing an adaptive voltage OC

tall pelican
#

buildzoid has a video on override, but it spikes idle voltages stupid high

modern walrus
#

I've had so many issues with thermals that I didn't even wanna mess with not controlling voltage directly

#

I was really only looking for videos to show me how to get override to stop ignoring my voltage input but once I figured out I needed to use fixed I was good

tall pelican
#

oh, and do not run multi core enhancement, it'll all core to 5.3, with whatever voltage it wants

modern walrus
#

I disabled that and set all the various core settings to manual & put 51 for all of them so it didn't get any ideas

#

Aside from prime95, is there another stress test that gets going quick? I feel like OCCT goes easy on it for the first like 4 minutes

#

That's the only reason I was starting with CB cuz CB just lays the hammer down within like a minute

tall pelican
#

you can set occt to extreme and steady load

#

default is variable load

modern walrus
#

hmm I'm probably doing it wrong then. I use the CPU: Linkpack and check the AVX capable

tall pelican
modern walrus
#

Am I using some old one? Lol

tall pelican
#

very old

modern walrus
#

ah crap no wonder

tall pelican
#

its on vers 8 or 9 now

modern walrus
#

lmao wow

tall pelican
#

oh also, I have a bios for you if you get into memory overclocking

modern walrus
#

lol I see the link I clicked on

#

2014 release

#

wow

#

ya? cool that would be great. I thought I would've been done with CPU weeks ago

#

I was gonna move to that next

#

man does that look complicated

tall pelican
#

I'd get comfortable with the cpu oc first, since mem overclocking changes cpu oc behavior

modern walrus
#

wow I cannot believe I'm running 4.4.1 & current is 8.2.1

#

oh man just when I thought I was almost free haha

#

brooo 7 year old stress tests wthhh

tall pelican
#

yup

modern walrus
#

My thermals are probably way worse than I thought

#

Since I was running stress tests for like a pentium 4

#

Is there a way to find out how much wattage I'm using? Those Delta fans can run like 50w each or something crazy

tall pelican
#

killowatt at the wall?

#

also gigabyte fan headers are 3A per iirc

modern walrus
#

oh ya I got molex adapters

#

one wire to PWM on mobo & other direct to Molex

#

for power

#

I'm not trying to break another motherboard lol

tall pelican
#

oh, if you're on molex, you're fine

modern walrus
#

ya I was just worried I'd be only only molex and have to hear 52dB raging all the time

#

but luckily some dude on the product reviews said something about it

#

when do you actually need the extra 4+4 CPU connection?

#

I'm doing AVX3, Large, Extreme, Steady, 560MB, Cycle #1, 20 threads & I haven't gotten past 72 degrees. I cannot figure out why I'm not 90+

#

AVX2 I meant

#

maybe flipping that fan did really help. It looks terrible but whatever

#

If this keeps up I might get greedy & see what 52 looks like

#

I also rearranged where my AC blows & set it to always have the fan on

tall pelican
proven canopy
#

z390 and on headers are 2 amps, but still plenty for most people

tall pelican
#

the 8 can split into 4+4 for low end cpus

modern walrus
#

for extra CPU power

#

My PSU only has one 4+4 for CPU power

#

but awhile back I got an adapter to change Molex to a 4 pin

tall pelican
#

the 8 pin can handle 380some watts

modern walrus
#

oh so basically you never need the other one unless you're doign some crazy LN thing

tall pelican
#

so like 300 to the cpu (POUT) for extended use

#

10900k on water can max it out, but if you're not running the load for hours on end, its fine

#

gigabyte uses solid pins, which can handle 400some watts

#

I forgot the exact number, but I want to say 15A?

#

might be 12A

modern walrus
#

I really don't understand what needs that

tall pelican
#

I need to fix my mounting, but there's 370w (which is the max "spec" of an 8 pin)

modern walrus
#

basically like .0000002% of users

tall pelican
#

granted that's p95 small avx

modern walrus
#

mine shows 1 and 2 watts

#

Is it broken? wth

#

amps are 1.5 & .2

#

what are you doing to that poor computer? lol

#

well up top it says CPU package power 202.150 max

tall pelican
#

cpu package power means nothing

the VR loop, VR vout, Current IOUT etc is the right section

why is does it show so little then you think?

tall pelican
#

check cpuz, and what bios version does it say you're on?

modern walrus

I gotta download CPU-Z give me a minute

oh, you might also be looking at the igpu section

Oh I see why

That's weird they both have the same name & show different things

#

...why are there two?

#

oh maybe

#

one is for one 4+4

#

and the other for the half of a 4+4 I put in

#

Maybe?

tall pelican
#

nah, one is igpu or SA power

modern walrus
#

so which do I believe?

#

Probably the one with bigger numbers?

tall pelican
#

yes

modern walrus

see those thermals? I can't freaking believe them. I'm about to try prime95 & get thrown off my high horse

is that Windows 10 jargon for needs more voltage?

tall pelican
#

ehhh, bsods on z590 seem to not give any directions

finite frigate
#

That’s usually ram but yeah

#

Z590 kinda not the best

modern walrus
#

I have XMP enabled but that's all I touched

#

oh wait I did set the voltage at 1.35

Then probably not ram lol

modern walrus
#

armoury crate is the biggest pile of trash

finite frigate
#

Oh yes it is indeed

modern walrus
#

I used to think MasterPlus was terrible

#

then I got TT RGB

#

those are both pretty garbage

#

but armoury crate is a whole new level

#

The only thing it every does it make my RAM sticks light up random colors

#

well partially

tall pelican
#

giga's fusion whatever has been fine for me lol

#

but I also only use the 3 and 4 pin headers for rgb

modern walrus
#

ya it's got decent effects

tall pelican
#

oh, and the rear io cover is rgb on the ultra

modern walrus
#

no I have the Thermaltake controller and a Coolermaster controller too

#

pain in the rear end

modern walrus
#

it doesn't have as much lighting as the MSI but it also doesn't have as many problems or DragonCenters so I'm good

#

@tall pelican what do you think of sandwich

modern walrus
#

haha I like it

#

what freaking cooler is that??

tall pelican
#

loud and overkill since that looks like some polaris gpu

finite frigate
#

Anything but overkill and you’d be surprised about the noise

modern walrus

oh that's what that iss

#

you took off all the coolers & stuff

#

btw will anyone buy the cooler?

finite frigate

Just the shroud and original fans

I"m about to pop it on ebay & let some bot buy it by accident

I mean maybe

modern walrus
#

I swapped my 3070 to a waterblock

lavish tundra
modern walrus
#

now I have this 80% of a gpu with nothing to do with it

lavish tundra
#

big advantage is that it comes as a solo app

modern walrus
#

even tho it's 0% useful

lavish tundra
#

no need for a large amount of bloat

modern walrus
#

ya I need to rid myself of a bunch of this crap

#

ASUS's bloatware that does nothing to make my GPU any better

#

that's the worst

#

I downloaded it thinking like somehow it makes my GPU work better

#

haven't seen any evidence of that yet

#

Why does Corsair's RGB crap take up like almost 1GB?

zenith palm
#

Cuz

modern walrus
#

is afterburner the only decent OC for GPU

#

GPU Tweak II is about as good as ArmouryCrate

zenith palm

Afterburner or evga's one

modern walrus
#

what is this little number/letter readout thing on the top right of the AORUS board telling me?

#

It used to change now it just says AO all the time

zenith palm
#

I'd check the manual for AO

#

Or A0 or something

modern walrus
#

I'm on it

#

A0 | IDE initialization is started

#

uh what?

#

A0 = IDE initialization is started Basically means BIOS has finished it's stuff and the system is now running from your hard drive, in other words Windows is now doing it's thing. It's not really an error code, more a status code to let you know everything is working fine.

#

I'll take it

tall pelican
modern walrus
#

I figured it was short for AORUS

#

but that's even better

modern walrus
#

I found prime95's cousin: run the power supply test on OCCT

tall pelican
#

(or just the cpu test on small)

modern walrus
#

I think I hit like 300w before it GSOD

#

I think I'm gonna need like a 900w PSU to run another 150 on those fans lol

tall pelican
#

Im on a 1000w for 10900k and 6900xt

modern walrus
#

holy crap dude

#

How can all CPUs at 100% vary so much? 160w on OCCT Max everything then 320w with that power supply attack

tall pelican
#

100% just means the cycles are being used

modern walrus
#

ohh I see

sterile flame
#

What should I be able to statically oc a 10850k for reference?
Aio is a arctic freezer II 360mm
Psu is 750w

tall pelican
#

think of lifting a 1lb weight vs a 30lb

modern walrus
#

I got it. LIke you're still lifting weight but one is clearly easier

#

Right?

#

I think I got it lol

tall pelican
#

you're still lifting it up and down, and cant do anything else with your arm, so its at "100%" load, but one is exerting a lot more energy and heat

modern walrus
#

seems straightforward

#

killin it with the metaphors

#

So why don't all stress tests blitzkreig your components like that?

#

isn't that like true stability? if your computer can handle that without GSOD or TJMax?

#

I guess absolute crazy max everything isn't encountered too often in regular use

#

tall pelican
#

guess it was worth it

modern walrus
#

I have IOUT and IIN current but I don't see VID current...

#

How does your CPU survive prime95 & stuff like that at a 54 ratio? wow

tall pelican
#

IOUT is current

modern walrus
#

oh right amps

tall pelican
#

so if you go vid*IOUT, you'll magically have cpu package power

modern walrus
#

w=av

#

I just don't see VID current

#

I'm still trying to figure out if I can handle an additional 150w on this power supply

#

GPU power maxed at 179.97. so assuming my CPU is around 300 that's about 480, in which case I'm good with a 750w

tall pelican
#

you wont see vid current

modern walrus
#

(I think)

#

oh... that explains that

#

where would you see it?

tall pelican
#

IOUT

modern walrus
#

how does it compare in terms of accuracy with the ones I do see?

#

ohh I gotta do the math you mean?

tall pelican
#

yup

modern walrus
#

VID is above Core Clocks?

tall pelican
#

core 1 VID etc

modern walrus
#

under sensor: CPU[#0]?

#

jeez it says max 1.599. so 1.599x191.8=306.6882

#

so almost 500 between GPU & CPU

tall pelican
#

I thought I've told you to ignore cpu package power 😂

#

everything cpu power related is here

modern walrus
#

I'm computer illiterate

#

am I on the right track?

tall pelican
#

click vid and do shift+delete

modern walrus
tall pelican
#

on all of them

modern walrus
#

lol now they're all gone?

tall pelican
#

yup

modern walrus
#

never look at their lies again?

tall pelican
#

yup

#

pretty much all you need in hwinfo

modern walrus
#

so what's the formula for maximum wattage again? VR VOUT x IOUT current?

tall pelican
#

wattage in general is vr vout* iout

#

but as iout goes up, vr vout goes down

modern walrus
#

Power (Input) isn't accurate?

tall pelican
#

all of the in stuff is into the vrm

#

out is out of the vrm

modern walrus
#

oh... so it's the combination of the two numbers that equals total wattage use?

#

Maybe my inability to comprehend stems from fundamental issues like not knowing what exactly VRM even is

tall pelican
#

lets say 16A at 12V goes into the vrm, and 150A at 1.2v comes out

modern walrus
#

oh so VRM is a transformer?

tall pelican
#

there's then 12w of heat that the vrm "used"

modern walrus
#

heat is energy

tall pelican
#

its more of a buck converter

#

12v dc to 1.2v dc

modern walrus
#

I see. So what the power supply actually sees in terms of load is the rating at 12v since that's what's being output by it.

#

?

tall pelican
#

power supply only sees 12v, 5v and 3.3v, and how much current from each

modern walrus
#

I see so it's actually way less than I'd think

solid nymph
#

not sure if this fits here but I just built a new system with a i7 11700k with corsair vengence 32gb 3600 ram. I tried to put the speeds at 3600 and says memory crash/fail before it boots and reverts back to 2133 speeds. Would this be because of defective ram or just not having a gpu?

zenith palm
#

Also nothing to do with no gpu

tall pelican
#

also make sure the memory is in slots 2 and 4 from the cpu, not 1 and 3 or the closest two

ayo how to overclock

#

is this how you do it

modern walrus
#

I'm still a noob but I use the BIOS

junior girder
#

o

modern walrus
#

Also, I have an intel chip so maybe apples and oranges

junior girder
#

i like apples

modern walrus
#

If you hang around the smart guys in here come around eventually lol

junior girder
#

lol

modern walrus
#

I know intel has this program that does an auto-overclock for you. I'd think Ryzen does too but I really dunno

#

have u tried playing with the BIOS?

junior girder
#

no im scared

modern walrus
#

There's a couple things here & there but mainly you just deal with LLC, core voltage, CPU ratio, & Ring ratio

#

I mean that's completely understandable but if it makes you feel any better, I've crashed my computer about 500x trying to get overclocking going lol

#

you can always load failsafe defaults from bios

junior girder
#

a

modern walrus
#

just check around for what the max voltage people say you should be putting into your processor is. My understanding is try to keep it below 1.350 and anything over 1.300 is hard to cool

junior girder
#

uhhh ok

#

brain hurt

modern walrus
#

I'd start by downloading a program called HWiNFO cuz it'll give you like every readout on your computer possible

junior girder
#

ok

modern walrus
#

then get some sort of stress tester. Some recommend prime95. It's super hard on the computer but if you survive that you're probably stable

#

I usually use OCCT or RealBench

junior girder
#

wym

modern walrus
#

In my experience, it's a fairly tedious process. Kind of a trial and error over & over lol

junior girder
#

IF I SURVIVE

#

ooo

#

ok

modern walrus
#

I mean if your computer doesn't freeze & what not

junior girder
#

o ok

modern walrus
#

I've actually never survived one. Prime95 scares me lol

junior girder
#

lol

#

thanks for the info Mr.Ggood003

modern walrus
#

like bro I'll hit start, my wattage wil jump to like 300+, 6 cores will go into Thermal protection

#

no problem man. I wish I was more familiar with Ryzen and OC in general so I could give you better advice

#

pop back in every now & then cuz when these guys are around they're like computer gurus

junior girder
#

ok

#

ill ask tmr

modern walrus
#

YouTube isn't a terrible place to start but sometimes they'll give you bad advice

junior girder
#

and hope the pc gods are here

modern walrus
#

well I'll get advice from them then come here & they're like no don't even watch Youtube

#

so proceed with caution lol

junior girder
#

ok

modern walrus
#

It's fun once you get the hang of it if you like puzzles

#

well puzzles that you fail constantly

#

maybe it's not fun haha

junior girder
#

haha

modern walrus
#

the results are cool tho

junior girder
#

will it boost fps

#

in games?

modern walrus
#

I think to some extent, but that's really GPU overclock

#

which is waayyy

#

easier

junior girder
#

oo ok

modern walrus
#

download MSI Afterburner. It has a stress test built in called Kombuster

#

you'll see um hold on let me open it

quick rose
#

if you want to OC GPU, use 3dMark Timespy after you change settings

modern walrus
#

oh good here's one of the smart dudes

quick rose
#

pffffff

junior girder
#

OOOOO

#

LETS GO SMART GUY

modern walrus
#

with afterburner, put power limit to max, core voltage to max, & temp limit to max

quick rose
#

There's no magic numbers with overclocking, it's raise speeds and test, raise speeds and test

#

I gained 2000 points in 3DMark but it took a while XD

modern walrus
#

then start by raising the Core Clock to like +100 then keep adding like 25 until you freeze on a stress test

junior girder
quick rose
#

Ya

modern walrus
#

then back it up like 25 & move to Memory Clock

junior girder
#

what number

modern walrus
#

same process

quick rose
#

Put it up a bit, test, up more, test

#

epends on the GPU

#

CPU's are a little different........

junior girder
#

what nuber

quick rose
#

Power limit maxed

modern walrus
#

My 3060 is +175 on Core Clock and +675 on Memory Clock

quick rose
#

GPU core +100, Mem +250 to start.

modern walrus
#

ya all those other settings hit with max

#

you may need to go to settings and unlock voltage control

junior girder
#

core clock?

quick rose
#

Ya, +100 to start

#

mem +250 to start

k now what

Yes but the demo version of time spy gets you a few runs free

furmark do be power virus

it's so powerful gpus detect furmark and downclock themselves

junior girder
#

sooo

modern walrus
junior girder
#

furmark power hungry

dull ginkgo
#

3dmark time spy demo will work

junior girder
#

kk ill do that

modern walrus
#

Make sure you up the core clock first then move to memory clock cuz if you do two at once you don't know which is the source of the crash if it crashes

#

oh also I think on the top left of Afterburner there's an auto overclock thing but that's no fun

junior girder
#

too late

#

i did both at once

modern walrus
junior girder
#

should i do that

#

?

modern walrus
#

The auto-overclock isn't terrible because it can give you like a baseline to start your own

Auto OC is ok just as a starting point

I'm just the homeless guy who hangs out outside the dojo and comes in every now & then

well i gtg now

ill be back tmr maybe

So anyone Aorus board... dim RGB? lol

What aorus board?

modern walrus
#

Z590

#

Ultra

quick rose
#

Do you have 4 pin RGB plugs on 3 pin headers?

modern walrus
#

no I don't have any 4 pin anything

#

You know what, I bet it's coolermaster's fault

#

there was a recent update that coincides with this

quick rose
#

I've seen it happen with RGB devices plugged into aRGB headers lol

modern walrus
#

and I set MasterPlus to just do what the motherboard says

#

maybe it's upset about that

#

I might be overloading the thing too I dunno

quick rose
#

is there a powered hubg involved?

#

Or just devices daisy chained?

modern walrus
#

I mean the three biggest power hogs are the riing trio 200mm & Riing whatever 120mm

#

Ya powered hub

#

the one that came with the Coolermaster ML360P Silver

#

and that this has um... 1 pikachu light, 4 argb 21 LED strips, 3x 120 argb fans, 1 140mm argb fan

#

I think even the graphics card too cuz this board might only have one argb header

#

oh I didn't show ya'll. I went all sawzall on my top panel

quick rose
#

Hmmm, IDK if that provides aRGB power or just splits it up. Try unplugging a few aRGB devices, that will give you an answer. If they get brighter it's overloaded

modern walrus
#

I had to cut that thing up cuz it wouldn't close. Originally I was gonna hole saw but it wouldn't fit

#

I really need to patch that zip it in that wall lol

#

wait no I'm lying. This board has two argb headers

#

uh

#

that don't look right

#

oh it's a party now. MasterPlus doesn't detect the argb controller

#

sinking ship

#

ahhhhh

#

k I'm gonna restart

#

usually cutting power entirely fixes that

#

someday I'll have dependable RGB

assuming that's even a thing

10X was canceled though. Everyone I've seen has a build that says Windows 11.

oh okay well I dunno I guess. But we'll all know on the 24th lol

sudden torrent
#

Although it's just 10X in appearance the actual leaked build says Windows 11

modern walrus

I don't even know if 10x was supposed to be the main windows. I think it was originally supposed to be for two screen devices like their surface phone thing

sudden torrent
#

It's supposed to be more fluid between the mobile and desktop versions. Windows 8 was all in for the mobile interface and everyone hated it, 10 scrapped most of the mobile features, now 11 is supposed to be more in between.

modern walrus
#

Gosh darn it. I'm gonna have to pay like $150 for new windows

#

Maybe. They might do a free upgrade like with 10.

That part we won't know until the 24th at least

sudden torrent
#

Keep in mind this isn't even a beta release, it's a leak build

quick rose
#

A leak from India

#

so just becuase the SHA256 matches just means it matches whatever was released

#

Doesn't mean it's legit

11 apparently requires you to have TPM and secure boot on to install this build on a system instead of a VM, rumors of course

security update on surfacebook3

that's it

#

cumulative update on surfacego2

#

windows 10 version next KB500413

probably just another whatever update

that thing throttles the CPU cuz it hits TJ max like very 5 minutes. Aside from windows insider dev, I haven't messed with any settings

Are you comparing 2 laptops?

Also do both laptops have the same specs

And you can't overclock intel cpus that don't end with k

And i don't think you can overclock any laptop cpu really

#

Is the cyber power system a desktop?

#

So you are comparing 2 laptops then lol

#

To my knowledge you cant oc a laptop cpu

You can do the gpu with msi afterburner usually tho

Some gpus don't allow you to increase power limit

apparantly you can turn TJmax in startup apps

because game is what pc startup means

even to undervolt a laptop because the laptop is power limited

dull ginkgo
#

there's also just flashing a different card's vbios, but may or may not work

#

and depends on outputs iirc

lavish tundra
#

Yep

#

wrong bios = some ports not working

dull ginkgo
#

but higher pl

unless for some reason some laptops have a specific app for additional power limit

#

no

dull ginkgo
#

or just no throttling

sudden torrent
#

Yeah my original bios would throttle to 300W when mining, KP bios isn't throttling at all

#

I don't think GPUs coldbugs but was just wondering

proven canopy
#

Almost every modern gpu has a coldbug

dull ginkgo
#

hm

#

so still an issue with a kp card/kp vbios

#

Yeah losing ports flashing a vbios is common - but doesn't really affect most people

sudden torrent
#

My card has 6 outputs, very uncommon for most 3090s

zenith palm
#

So more ports

#

6 outputs

#

Holy

sudden torrent
#

Nah it's fine how it is honestly, at first I was afraid I killed it because I got no video out after I rebooted but I switched DP ports and it was fine

Scary times

Snap, I wanted to know what app to delete to get rid of TJMax :/

It's still unclear to me whether I was the cause of this controversy but this is what I was talking about. Surfacebook3 HWiNFO opened right after taking laptop out of sleep. This runs hot as heck

#

I thought the whole detach from the bottom & become a tablet thing would be cool but I don't even think I can use that laptop outdoors. It'll probably melt or something

#

No if you go to bios there's like 5 things u can change & none are useful

#

Does that pipe going to the filter look crappy?

#

I had to get back to the 140 rad somehow

zenith palm

#

There will still be one more pipe across so hopefully it'll kinda distract from it

finite frigate
#

So basically I full sent and went cl3

#

Lets see how this goes

zenith palm
lavish tundra
#

because other way wont work

#

has to be done manually

finite frigate
#

No it will I’m just lazy

#

Just gonna take timings from other lower clocked states

lavish tundra
#

Ahh lol

zenith palm
finite frigate
#

Manually doing them
