| 5800x - sharing how I lowered temperature Posted: 29 Aug 2021 11:48 AM PDT Hi All, It's been a few days since my Ryzen 7 5800x arrived and I'm very happy with it. Like others, I was concerned about temperatures, so I thought about sharing the steps I took to minimize its impact in my system. Case: Darkflash DLM 21 MB: Asrock x570m CPU: 5800x GPU: 6800 XT Sapphire Nitro+ Memory: 32gb HyperX 3200 PSU: Super Flower Leadex III 850 Cooler: Scythe Kotetsu Mark II Case Fans: Three Scythe Kaze Flex 120 RGB 1800 rpm (Two intake, One Exhaust)
With those steps, I've managed to keep temperatures and noise at a lower level. It is also important to emphasize that the temperature regime for the Ryzen 5000 is higher than you probably were used before, so no need get concerned if you are getting 80C-90C under load. My current settings/results are: PPT 105, TDC 95, EDC 120 CO: best core -19, second best -23, others -30 Best CB R20 score: MC 6123 @ ~4600 MHz (74.6C), SC 625 @ ~4850 MHz Gaming @ 4850 MHz (65-70C) Idle Temp: Low 30C Browsing Temp: 40-45C Edit: Best CB R20 score is 6123 @ 74.6C. Average score @ 80C is 6053. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Integrated Graphics to 3060ti (5 month build update) Posted: 29 Aug 2021 10:55 AM PDT I'm sure not many people will see this, I'm just so overjoyed with the huge difference between the graphics of my 3400g and a recent godsend: a 3060ti! Months of searching finally paid off. This was my first ever build, and I started out knowing next to nothing about the hardware. I've lurked in this subreddit for so long, and it's now one of my biggest interests. I've built three computers now, about to do my fourth, using so much knowledge from the amazing people here. I'm really excited to get into heavier games and 3D modeling. The cooling solution on this card is so giant I had to switch the location of my AIO fans just to fit it in there. (yes, the AIO is purely for aesthetics haha) Thanks to anyone who is still here reading this, I just wanted to share some hope for anyone still looking for a GPU. Microcenter is amazing. Brief specs: - Asus TUF 3060 ti - Ryzen 3400g (overclocked and undervolted) - 16gb 3200mz CL16 ram - b450 pro4 motherboard [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Aug 2021 02:00 PM PDT I'm looking to build a new PC and get windows 10 for it. But on the PC part picker website, windows 10 costs about 110 bucks. I've read that windows 10 is free on the windows website, but I can't find where on the website that is. Is there somewhere I can actually get windows 10 (LEGALLY) for free? Or does it actually cost 110 dollars to get it for a pc? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Aug 2021 02:43 PM PDT Hey, I've been thinking of building a budget pc and I'm not sure how much the ryzen 5 3400g is better than the 3200g. The pc won't have a dedicated gpu so both the cpu and the integrated graphics matter for me. Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Aug 2021 03:56 PM PDT I originally though they were dead pixels but upon further inspection I came to the conclusion that they were some kind of bugs but I have no idea how to get them out or how they keep getting in there [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Aug 2021 04:23 AM PDT I'm building my first PC and while doing my research on parts I noticed the used 1080ti is quite cheap compared to other, newer cards. Would the old chip architecture make much of a difference in performance? My build so far is an i5 10400f with 16gb of ram, just need a graphics card.

| Is "Intel Iris Xe Graphics" good for gaming? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 01:56 PM PDT How does it compare to NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or ATI Radeon X1600 Pro? Don't know much about these things and can't really find a good comparison. Can anyone help? Thank you. Background info. I'm looking at buying a laptop to have on the go and will be doing some gaming on it. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Monitoring and caring for a PSU Posted: 29 Aug 2021 07:52 AM PDT I have a question about how to care and monitor the state of a PSU. I have a rather powerful GPU which I also use for work, and with current prices it would be most unfortunate if my PSU fried it because of malfunction. The PSU in question is Chieftec A-135 650W. Originally I built my machine in 2013, and it had an AMD FX-8350, Asus M95A2 (IIRC), nVidia GT 640 + Tesla C2070, 5x HDDs (Seagate CSs and WD Reds). About three years ago I upgraded to AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Asus X370 and nVidia GTX 1080Ti. Most of the time the machine was behind a UPS. I believe I haven't used more than 65% of the PSU's capacity ever. How to evaluate the state of the PSU? Is there any better ways than to look inside and visually check capacitors? Or should I replace it just because of age? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Need help with my system temperatures Posted: 29 Aug 2021 02:42 PM PDT Hello, I start monitoring my system temperatures while gaming and when I saw the temperatures and thought that they were and are too high even for my system. So, I'm trying to find why they are so high. My system was:
Then because of the temperatures I thought that was the case and the air flow, so I change my case to a lian li O11 Dynamic XL and got some unifans. Now my system is:
But even after the case and fans change, the temperatures are still high when playing games or stress testing. In bios after installing the CPU the only things that I change where pressing F3 to unlock the CPU and turned on the XMP, later I turned on the ai-cooling too. I did a repaste too, and before I had Arctic MX-4 and now I used Noctua H1, but the temperatures didn't change. I played some games and got prints from the hardware monitor, maybe someone can see something that I don't. I will let the Hardware monitor prints below on this post. I have 2 screens, one Asus ROG SWIFT PG279Q 1440P 144hz and one Acer S240HL 1080p 60hz. I play on the 1440p one. On Forza Horizon 4 the CPU temperature stay's around 65c to 75c with some spikes to 83c/85c; On Black Desert Online saw CPU temperature from 63c to 77c with spikes to 87c/89c; On Assassins Creed Origins saw CPU temperatures from (sometimes 69c) 75c to 84c with spikes to 88c/94c; On CallOfDuty Warzone saw CPU temperatures from 68c to 77c with spikes to 80c/83c; On Division 2 saw CPU temperatures from 62c to 76c with spikes to 87c/89c; On cinebench R23 in a 10 min run, saw CPU temperatures from 81c to 89c with spikes to 93c/95c; On powermax 1.0 after 30 min run, saw CPU temperatures 89c to 95c with spikes of 98c; I don't know if this is normal and if I'm just paranoid, but what you think ? Sorry for my bad English. And thank you in advance.

| Second Custom Build Incoming, Best Way of Transferring All of my Data to New Drives? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 03:30 PM PDT Hey all, This is definitely a noob question but I need help: Like the title says, My second custom build is about a week away, and a fresh start isn't really an option because of music production- I'll be needing to transfer a ton of ableton projects and related audio files to my new PC. I'm thinking it might be easiest to just transfer all of my data from my old SSD C: Drive and 1TB HD B: Drive to my new rig. For anyone who has done this before, what method do you think would have the cleanest, easiest transfer without any discrepancy in file locations - kind of a quick 'plug and play' scenario where I boot up my new rig and all of my old things are there and ready to go? Ideally I would like to keep everything belonging to the same drive location as well, which is why dumping it all on an external doesn't make much sense to me... So far I've looked at PCMover Express which is a paid service (which I don't mind), but haven't seen any user based reviews on how clean and easy to use it is. Thoughts and advice? Any help is greatly appreciated, love you guys. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| CPU's Operating Frequency vs Max Turbo Frequency Posted: 29 Aug 2021 08:44 AM PDT What's the difference between processors, for example (Intel Core i5-11600K vs Intel Core i5-11500) where one of them has the Operating Frequency 3.9 GHz (Turbo 4.9 GHz) and the second has the Operating Frequency 2.7 GHz (Turbo 4.6 GHz)? What's the point to have Operating Frequency 3.9 GHz rather then 2.7 GHz where ultimately both processor's Max Turbo Frequency is very close? Which one should I choose and for what purpose?

| Gaming at 1080p on 4k monitor with GTX 770 2g (monitor: Dell S2721QS) Posted: 29 Aug 2021 12:27 PM PDT I want to upgrade to a 4k monitor to work in 4k environment, but game in 1080p since my ancient GPU cannot support anything more. If I settle for Dell S2721QS UHD monitor, would gaming at 1080p be alright? I read something about integer scaling in "modern" GPUs but not sure a 770 is considered modern. I haven't upgraded my build since I built it in 2014 but hope to upgrade soon :) thanks Build: [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Struggling to get RAM to work after upgrading to Ryzen 5800X Posted: 29 Aug 2021 02:37 PM PDT ASUS TUF Gaming Plus Wifi x570 I had a Ryzen 7 3700x and I accidentally bent the pins because the CPU was stuck to the heatsink, and when I took it out to test something it ripped the CPU out with the heatsink and bent the pins. I straightened them out but never got it to boot again. So I bought a 5800x and it wouldn't boot, orange DRAM error. I tried a space Ryzen 2400g and it booted just fine. Eventually I found that putting a single RAM in the slot allowed my 5800x to boot, but dual channel causes orange DRAM light. Side note: My 3200mhz RAM only shows as 2133mhz, but I think this has always been a problem with this TUF board. So I went and bought a new set of 32GB of RAM and just tried it... same thing. Orange DRAM light and no post, but if I take one stick out it boots just fine. I already upgrading my BIOS to the latest, 4021. I tried enabling DOCP and upping voltage, but nothing will work. I am now at a total loss of what the problem is... damaged socket? Issue with CPU? Incompatibility or issue with motherboard? I'm at my wits end and only have a little bit of time to return this CPU and RAM if I need to. If it matters, I was concerned maybe I got some thermal paste on the cpu or socket, or perhaps something else was going on, but I did try my friend's 5800X in my system earlier and it produced the same problem, no boot, orange DRAM light. But this was before I tested with 1 stick. I am starting to wonder if the issue is with my actual socket, but the 2400g works just fine... Heeeeeelp EDIT: RAM I have is G-SKILL Tridgent 16x2 and is on the QVL list for this board. I also just bought 32gb of Corsair Vengeance Pro.... EDIT 2: It seems I can get the RAM to work if I put it A1 and A2, but obviously I lose dual channel here. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Aug 2021 02:31 PM PDT More of a upgrade than completely new build. X370 Motherboard was broken. Decided to upgrade to b550 so had to upgrade from ryzen 1700 to 5600x. Upgraded to 32gb ram too as I got a good deal on some t-force ram.
Case: Fractal Design Define C TG GPU: Gtx 1080ti PSU: Corsair HX750i CPU cooler: Wraith prism (came with 5600x) SSD: Samsung 860 Pro 1TB 2.5" [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is the first word latency of RAM what to focus on? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 12:14 PM PDT From my understanding, is this the value that should be used to compare RAM performance on paper? Example, a 4000 MHz CL14 pair at 7ns versus a 5000 MHz CL18 pair coming in at 7.2ns first word latency. Is my understanding and generalization accurate? That one would focus on the lower frequency RAM being functionally faster at 7.0ns vs 7.2 of the higher frequency RAM. Edit: Realizing I think Im generalizing that latency is more important than bandwidth which is a poor assumption I presume. Back to the drawing board! ha [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Man where are yall getting your 3000 series gpus Posted: 29 Aug 2021 02:22 PM PDT I swear almost everyone I come across apparently has a 3090 in their rig yet I don't see where people are buying them from. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Aug 2021 01:34 PM PDT Hello everyone, I hope today finds everyone well. This is what I'm working with: Case : Corsair 4000D Airflow Processor : AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core 3.4GHz (4.9GHz Max Boost) Motherboard : Asrock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac Memory : 16GB CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 3200MHz RGB (2x8GB) System Cooling : CORSAIR H100i PRO XT RGB System Fans : CORSAIR LL iCUE RGB Graphics Card : EVGA 3080 FTW3 hybrid. I currently have the cpu rad on top of the case with fans in a push config. gpu rad is in front in a pull config. The gpu has a fan on it as well that pushes hot air up into the cpu rad. While GPU temps are great, cpu is always hot and the exhaust from the gpu fan keeps the CPU water from cooling down. Should I try a different rad config? Would a new case help?

| Computer keeps rebooting when put under stress, narrowed it down to two possible issues. Posted: 29 Aug 2021 01:19 PM PDT Hey guys! My computer is all of a sudden shutting off whenever I presume is a high workload. I downloaded OCCT and noticed that my GPU voltage is hovering around 0.81 (I have a GTX 1060). Funny, as I was typing that my computer rebooted lol. Anyway, Event Viewer throws these errors: Performance power management features on processor 0 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware. (This, but for all 12 processors) The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. (Source: Kernel-Power) Event ID 41 This leads me to believe that it is either the GPU that is finally throwing in the towel, or the PSU is throwing the towel. This is recent, and I have not added anything new to the PC in a year. Even if I did, I have a Gold rated PSU with 550 watts, so I should have enough for a 1060 and a couple RGB fans. I did notice that the HDMI connector for the 1060 does not like being moved, but I doubt that is part of the issue. Anyone have any idea what this issue might be?

| Posted: 29 Aug 2021 04:32 AM PDT Hey y'all. I currently have a 470x plus Tuf gaming motherboard. I was wondering if this would work with the Ryzen 9 5950x? Or do I HAVE to upgrade to the 570x plus Tuf motherboard? I'm honestly a noob when it comes to building PCs. I got mine from digital storm🤠[link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Help me decide between RTX 3070 ti and AMD 6800 Posted: 29 Aug 2021 03:07 AM PDT These are the two cards within my price range that I've been able to find. The 3070 ti is $40 more than the 6800. From tests I've seen on YouTube, 6800 performs better on games without ray tracing and 3070 ti is better with ray tracing games. I also noticed that the 6800 consumes less power but runs hotter. My biggest concern: I plan to keep this card for a long time. Which card is likely to last the longest? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I am downloading a file to my d drive folder. But Why My C / drive folder is increasing instead of D Posted: 29 Aug 2021 12:38 PM PDT I am currently downloading a large file which is about 37 GB. I am very sure I chose the file location to my D drive but the problem is While the file is downloading, the C/ drive is increasing as the completed size. Why this is happening? The reason why I am very sure is that I canceled the first time downloading to make sure that I chose the right location and I redownloaded again but it is still the same problem. The main problem is my C / drive is only 120 SSD and I don't want to fill it up with some unnecessary files. Help me solve this one. [link] [comments]  |
