I appreciate any help with this. The 2080Ti is stock and I need to WC the card.
The old 680's were good 6 years ago. Im buying BF5 to check out

RGB vs Non RGB

$

Hi everyone,

I have three 140mm spots on my case that need fans and I am a little stuck on what to pick. Usually I use simple coloured LED fans but the colours I want for this build aren't available without going with RGB fans. I've also heard not so good things about RGB fans (ranging from lighting not working, to being poor airflow, to causing problems with other components, etc) so I am a little wary of them. I know there's lots of very good fans made by Noctua and such that perform very well but they're kind of um, bland looking. So I was hoping to see if these RGB fan issues are actually a big thing or if they're maybe overblown a bit, etc. Any input is appreciated thank you :)

Decided to run an experiment tonight. Removed the fans from the cooler to see how it would perform.

See attached screenshot. 100% CPU load via Handbrake 1080p compression. Temperature stabilized around 58C.

Strange VCORE spikes at idle with adaptive voltage

$
0
0
Hello. I've been fooling around with my 9700k trying to find the ideal long-term overclock and I found a couple things:
1) Seemingly, C-states don't cause lower idle voltage on manual voltage setting (at least not with this motherboard) - contrary to some prior generations
2) Per the topic of this thread: when I have adaptive voltage set, I get strange +40mv spikes specifically at idle. At load, this seems to not happen. Perhaps because vdroop doesn't let it.



The mobo is a Gigabyte Aorus Pro Z390. Any ideas what is causing this? I don't think it's the LLC. I don't get voltage spikes anywhere near this bad even on turbo LLC when I'm using manual voltage.
Also, any idea if I can get low idle voltages while using manual voltage on a Gigabyte mobo?

RAM clearance and lifespan

$

I'll be upgrading from 2500k to 3600. I am really looking at Cryorig C1 cooler on NZXT H210 case.
My current choice of RAM is a G.Skill Ripjaws V. The height of RAM is 42mm while C1's clearance is the same at 42mm.
By the spec, it should fit. But will it really fit? I search internet and can't see combination of these two.
I want the C1 facing RAM side.

My other RAM choices are:
1. Corsair vengeance LPX but I never had good experience with any corsair products. They usually break after months of use.
2. Kingston Hyperx Fury - max is only at 2666mhz.

EDIT: mobo is Asus strix x470-i/b450-i

Decision for Watercooling AIO

Hello

Some days ago i replaced my 6700k with Ryzen 3700x

For years i'm using Noctua nhd14 which is an impressive ( for me the best ) aero cooling for every occasion , now with the ryzen 3700x and the case i use ( Phanteks Enthoo Pro m Acrylic ) i would like to change to water cooling solution but i prefer and AIO. I would like to help me choose the best one close to nh d14 performance , i have seen some AIO like DEEPCOOL Castle 360EX , Corsair H150i Pro RGB , Antec Mercury 360 and some more , but i cand decide which one to choose, there a lot of cooling out there , the most important thing for me is the performance better than noctua i had and after that the rgb and stuff

Edit : ?ou can find my build on my signature

Thanks a lot

Good monitor to get?

$

Came across this one. I’m stuck between spending $500.00 on a monitor, or finding one for less that’s almost as good. It’s a price/performance balance that I can’t grasp.

I came across this one, but my question would be, can I do better than this for less? Should I spend more? It’ll be used for a Ryzen 7 3700X Radeon RX 5700 XT build.

My requirements are 27”, 144hz, 1440p, Freesync.

I have already went through the steps of redeeming the code through Geforce Experience. I believe that the code I have now will work for anyone who activates it on their own account.

Anyway, it is free so if it doesn't work you are out nothing. Post something funny. I will pick the winner on the 31st.

video crash to black screen with audio

$

I've been having an issue with my 1080ti the last couple of days. I will be in the middle of a game and the video will go to black on both monitors but i will still have audio. Graphics driver never recovers ctrl+win+shift+b wont allow it to recover (not sure if it is even a driver issue ). I also cant remote desktop into it to see what might be happening. I have to restart the pc in order to get video back. No issues with temps from what i've monitored (the card is water cooled and never sees temps about 50C.)

What i've tried:
DDU with new drivers
reset OC to stock settings
updated chipset drivers
reseated the card and psu cables.


its looking like its the card though. I went out and bought a 2080 ti and have been replicating my activities and cant get it to crash on me.

Any thoughts?

How to run quad channel Ryzen Threadripper?

Cpuz is saying channel # is dual. But I just populated my four dimms just like the manual said. http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList...eme_1001_e.pdf
Is this not correct? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the manual. I'm trying to run dynamic local mode but I was told it only works in quad channel memory.

Visual Artifacts?

$

Hi everyone,

So I bought a used Strix 1080Ti which was displaying weird artifacts at some point but it turned out the card was indeed faulty as it couldn't even finish any single benchmark run without driver crashing at stock settings. Got a refund for that and went for an EVGA FTW3 1080Ti and even though it's performing beautifully right now sometimes I do see crap like this when logging into Windows.


Does anyone know why this would happen? It doesn't happen after that but it's pretty weird, temps are fine, everything is fine and performing perfectly...

My rig is:

Moderators: I was unsure where to place this. I found it very interesting, so I just took my bests guess and put it in the Tech/Science section. Apologies if wrong.


JoergSprave of the SlingShot Channel on Youtube (One of my absolute favorite channels) has enlisted the help of IG Metall in a joint venture to force YouTube to be fair to it's content creators. It's quite an interesting watch. Curious to see where this goes.

IG Metall is the dominant metalworkers' union in Germany, making it the country's largest union as well as Europe’s largest industrial union. Analysts of German labor relations consider it a major trend-setter in national bargaining.

[WCCF] Intel Xe Discrete Graphics Cards Spotted in Latest Driver Leak – Four Variants With Up To 512 Cores

This rumor is more juicy than first glance would indicate.

Source: https://wccftech.com/intel-xe-discre...gen-12-gen-11/
Quote:

The EU count on the Xe based discrete graphics family would range from 128, 256 and 512.
512 EUs.

Each EU of this intel gen has 8 cores from: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/t...tailed.253928/

That's 4096 cores that drivers are already leaking for. And clocks could be faster in discrete than an apu.

Seems too fast for that to be true.

I hope it is, but I see it as just a very titilating rumor.

My main question is that what would be the best budget PSU needed to power this build?

Undervolting Bristol Ridge laptops feat A10-9600P

$

I thought I post up here because I just bought HP Pavilion 15 BA010AX with A10-9600P and didn't find any tool or guide for tweaking Bristol Ridge laptops. The Carrizo tweaking didn't work for it.

I tried using AMDmsrtweaker, it read the Pstate wrongly (voltage is wrong) and any sort of command run through it will resulted with blackscreen. So I ditched it and continue looking for other programs.

Behold the K15TK, a simple program similar to K10stats that I love for Stars architecture. You can find the download link here. Below is the screenshot of the stock A10-9600P Pstates and voltages.



A10-9600P default TDP is 15W, from my testing in Windows 7 32-bit SP1 the boost clock will never exceed PB2 clock of 2.6GHz. Using HwInfo the CPU only momentarily goes to PB0 clock on one of its cores and return back to its PB2 states. In gaming (using its dedicated R7 M440) it usually hovers at PB2 clock for a while before resorting to P0 clock.



I tweaked the voltage as seen on the second attachment. The voltage is vastly better than the stock voltage and temperature drops similarly, CPU never exceed 70C during gaming (it was around 80C stock with the dedicated GPU running). I found that you can run other Pstates at the same clock as the max clock for its group (for example normal states (P0 to P4) will run fine if put P1 state at the same clock as P0 max clock, for my CPU it's 2400MHz, likewise for PB2 will run fine at PB0 clock of 3300MHz). Also I could make other Pstates to be close to default clock so it won't jump around too much (example default P0 to P1 difference was 400MHz, now its none!)

With this I could use it for benchmarking like in 3DMark Cloud Gate I raised the PB2 clock to 3300MHz. The CPU score rise from 1400 CPU scores to nearly 3300 (refer picture 3). This is just for benchmarking though, I run at stock clock when gaming.



If anyone knows any other tools for tweaking Bristol Ridge APU let me know. I read some old review thread that The Stilt going to release to control cTDP software but since he already seen the power delivery and cooling of these laptops he didn't want to. I hope with this software to control voltages he can now release this software, with voltage reduction the cooling system don't need to work as hard. Whne I get my dual channel memory I wanted to ditch the dedicated GPU and just use the iGPU for gaming.
