[high knoll]

I just have ps5 and a samsung monitor

[south gull]

Alllll good. Simplicity is nice sometimes lol

[zenith marlin]

Imma give my opinion, its a good setup, but it feels kinda crammed theres to much going on, and it mignt be a good idea to do cable management, so get some raceways and hide the hanging cable from the tv, and do something to hide the wires at the pc, also you could put the hanging cable from the desk under the tabletop and it would look a loot cleaner. That will be all my tips for now

[south gull]

Thanks. I’m not too worried about it though lol

If you made a desk I'm sure you can make or buy a Gameboy, try it!

[south gull]

A game boy?

[shell oasis]

I'm guessing that's Australian dollars or smth?

[south gull]

No USD

[shell oasis]

jesus christ did you buy it in 2020 or smth

lots of overpriced stuff xd

[south gull]

Yes lol

[shell oasis]

300 for 32gb of mediocre ram is nuts
as is 145 for a 500gb ssd (albeit a good one)

[south gull]

Thats 4x8 DDR4 4000 RAM. And M.2 SSD. Lol how is that Mediocre

[shell oasis]

vengeance ram

on paper it's fine but vengeance is sub par

if you've got a good kit then that's good

i got lucky as well

there's reports of people not being able to run xmp with vengeance but then being able to with other kits

[south gull]

Ahh well. I do need upgrades soon. But was still good for what I needed at the time

[shell oasis]

yh

[shell oasis]

still very expensive for the ssd as well given today you can get a 1tb pcie 4 m.2 ssd with dram for 100 or so

those were crazy times

[south gull]

Yea I know but I didn’t really care. Just needed a PC and was making $1400-$1600 profit on 3080 cards 😂 so I was chillin

[shell oasis]

yh fair

[jagged jetty]

Of course, some might say it's essential to a setup

[south gull]

I’ve used a game boy Emulator if that counts

[jagged jetty]

It's gotta be the real deal and it's gotta be showcased in your setup

[south gull]

Where’s the game boy in your setup

[jagged jetty]

Are you questioning GameboyFan734?

Also, there’s barely any weight on the desk in the middle

[viral folio]

What size is the desk?

[south gull]

8 foot

[south gull]

I installed the 5900x this past weekend and my cores stay at and below 3.4ghz. It will never boost up past that.

I have Reset CMOS.
Restored UEFI defaults on BIOS.

Can’t seem to figure out why it won’t go up past 3.4 even on heavy load. Any ideas?

[lethal dawn]

@fierce river has reached level 4. GG!

[potent storm]

have you tried installing amd software overclock or changing settings in bios

[south gull]

I have tried both. Not sure about the adrenaline software overclocks but I have been trying to adjust settings in BIOS. But even with leaving everything factory or default the GHZ per core never go above 3.4ghz

[potent storm]

have you tried looking at cpuz stuff

it tell bit more useful info

also was the cpu you got new or bought 2nd hand?

[south gull]

I have CPU-Z installed but not seeing any limits

And I built it myself

Everything was running normally and fine before upgrading the CPU

[potent storm]

i mean if the cpu is new- I'm assuming it not liking something

you can try to overclock it cpu to go past 3.4ghz?

have you tried updating drives

also^

[south gull]

Yea I’ve tried Overclocking in BIOS using the curve optimizer. Running Cinebench and still no cores get past that “limit” I installed the latest chipset drivers yesterday.

[potent storm]

bios update

?

[south gull]

Nope. That’s the only thing

I could flash.

But I was worried about losing something

[potent storm]

i never had bios update go wrong- but go mb website fine bios that recommended for your cpu -> could fix or return the cpu and try a other one if that fails

something in your system dont like each other

[south gull]

https://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/x570 taichi/#BIOS

so just go here and install L5.01? on flash drive?

well

[potent storm]

well, i would contact them on phone just to confirm. download the right bios for your system

[south gull]

L5.01 dowsnt work but 5.0 does

[potent storm]

that usually- what i do

[south gull]

contact Asrock ?

didnt think about that haha

[potent storm]

oh do they not have a support/contact line

[south gull]

what could i do in cpu-z?
