For the Ripjaws, there seems to be a number of people with similar experiences on plebbit.
For the 5900Xes, fuck man I don't know. Hoping it's really just bad luck with the two bottom of the barrel binned CCDs glued together SKU.

What's the chance this is just unreal engine fuckery or if it's actually the GPU? The crashes usually say something about the GPU, but it's not getting too hot. 5070ti btw. Should I just downgrade the drivers to an older version?

use hwinfo64 to check the 12vhpwr input voltage to your gpu under load. it should be no lower than 11.8v on a quality atx3.1 psu. 11.6v is also within spec but would be too low on a 5070ti on a newish psu.

>>109203368
All right, will do, thanks. If it is under load what would I do about that?
>quality atx3.1 psu
It better be, I was led to believe it was. One of those Corsair ones btw.

>>109203368
nta but would undervolting cause this issue?

If my radiator and AIO tubes are cool to the touch and just blowing out room temperature air while my CPU is running hot, did I fuck up the contact between the IHS and the AIO's cold plate? The pump is running but it's seemingly just circulating cold liquid

>>109203401
>If it is under load what would I do about that?
just use a quick furmark to max out the power draw but don't run it for longer than a minute. compare the idle and during-furmark 12vhpwr reading. there should not be more than 0.100v of difference between the two readings on a 5070ti unless your cable is on its way out
>One of those Corsair ones btw
which ones? the 2x8-pin to 12vhpwr one? those are bad because the 8-pin side doesn't snugly sit in the socket and varies the resistance/current on each wire a lot

>>109203408
vdroop is inherent to electronics because of electrical resistance. a 12vhpwr with bad connections will vdroop a lot because of its fewer wires having a good connection, resulting in higher resistance which causes higher vdroop.
undervolting will reduce the amount of vdroop on the cable compared to its stock state which pulls more power.

>>109203412
Did.you take off the plastic from the AIO cold plate

>>109203415
Thanks for the info. A little late tonight so I'll bother with it tomorrow.

>which ones?
For the cables? It's the native 12v 2x6 that came with the PSU. It's the RM1000x.(Overkill for what I have but I got it on sale.)

>>109203478
Yes

>>109203430
so undervolting wouldn't necessarily cause this issue? i know if you undervolt it too much you'll find right away since the pc will crash
my friend has similar issues and he swears it's not his undervolt, but i've never done it myself

>>109203496
It depends on which part of the system you're talking about. In the gpu/cpu core, undervolting while keeping the clockspeed constant will require a higher current to maintain stability, and the vrms which directly provides the voltage will have to work harder and provide the higher current.
At the power socket, undervolting (while keeping clocks the same) will reduce overall system power which reduces the amount of current pulled there.

I have an issue with my PC that has recently surfaced. The fans started going full speed all the time, when in past they just went full speed for 10 seconds when I boot my PC and then would become quiet. I'm using a fan controller so at first I thought that was the issue until today when I unplugged my PC and moved it on my desk so I can work on it easier, only for the issue to be gone once I plug everything back in.

Anybody had similar issues? Is cmos somehow at fault?

Im building my first PC and decided on
>MSI b650m Gayming WiFi
>Ryzen 5 9600x (or 7500f not sure for now)
>Arctic Freezer 36
>Cooler Master 750w MWE V3 (gold)
>decent case with 3 fans (XPG Defender)
>cheapest 2x16 ram kit (patriot viper elite 6400 CL32)
the biggest point is that im delaying the GPU until i have enough money, i will be using my 1660 oc 6gb. and i need help deciding if going for the 9600x from the getgo is better so i don't need to upgrade the cpu in the next 2-4 years.
I do play vidya, do some coding and AI on the side with potentially dipping into graphics design in the near future

>>109203604
either get the 7800x3d and upgrade when you feel like in zen 7 or buy the cheapest one available and upgrade when you can to zen6+ x3d

>>109203616
The 7800x3d cost 45% more than 9600x... while 9600x is 30% more than the 7500f.. you think the performance difference between 7500f and 9600x is tolerable for next 2-3 years?

>>109203540
Parts of the PC still have power when it's "off." Something might have just bugged in a way that required a complete power down to reset.

>>109203540
Maybe they just weren't plugged all the way in? You'd be surprised. Or electrical gremlins that get fixed ones you phase out all the power.

>>109203643
The difference between the 9600x and 7500f is small
And you shouldn't bother with a 7800x3d unless you have a 5070ti/9070xt or faster gpu

>>109203643
the 7500f is a 7600 with an IOD that doesn't have a working video out. Zen 5 was nicknamed Zen 5% if that gives you an idea of the uplift the 9600X will give you over the 7500F.

that is why anon suggested to either go 7800X3D then wait for Zen7, or cheapest AM5 and upgrade to Zen6 X3D at the start of next year.

>>109203643
I dont think the 9600x is a good cpu, being the king of 6 cores is not an accomplishment, I'd save for 7800x3d -> upgrade in zen 7 if I feel like/need
or 8500f -> upgrade in zen 6 in 2027 or 8

>>109203643
there is also waiting for the 7700x3d that will be out soon, that is probably going to be a killer value cpu like the 5700x3d was

>>109203699
>>109203692
>>109203686
ty, I think now im leaning for the 7500f just to save up on money that i will need for the gpu, and in the future can get a much better cpu later
>>109203717
how much do you think the 7700x3d will cost? im not sure if i should delay building the pc even more because of the RAM and SSD prices...

>>109203727
Just get the 7500f the 7700x3d will be too expensive and not worth the money at release.

>>109203727
All am5 x3ds at this point are overpriced and not worth it's cost in budget systems
Zen6 and zen7 will each bring a large improvement in performance which will drive down the costs of current CPUs like we saw on am4

>>109202874
Getting the 420 with the little fan addition whenever I can be bothered to install it.

im trying this undervolting thing and idk if im doing something wrong. with pbo disabled i get 14045 in cinebench and with pbo advanced at -20 curve optimizer on all cores im only scoring 14125 in cinebench. is this normal?

Sometimes I think of replacing my 5900x with the 5800x3d.

>>109203902
The idea for undervolting is to draw less power, and thus less heat, to your cpu. You might get some gains but not a significant amount.

>>109203306
Is XMP on?
Test it with it off. I had similar issues. Seemingly rock solid stability in everything except a couple of games I play.

Gotta test with things when you’re within spec otherwise it's very difficult to isolate the problem.

I'm absolutely through with the nvidia shill farm. nvidia pays for Internet shills, and it has to be stopped.

Is a 5070 enough for 4k 60fps ultra/high in modern AAA games if using DLSS performance but without frame gen?

>>109203923
I can play modern games on a 3080 at 4k using dlss so, probably. 007 first light ran at around 60-70fps.
Id use frame gen if I had the option.

>>109203923
you could ask /r/lgbtqia

>>109203923
3080 is the floor for 4k 60fps so the 5070 will be absolutely fine. Only go higher if you want more than 60fps, a 5060ti 16gb is also an valid option if you want to save a bit

People living near Microsoft’s Fairwater data center in Wisconsin are suing the company, saying the facility has made life in the area much louder.

They say there’s a constant humming noise from the cooling systems and backup generators, along with dust, bright lights at night, and extra traffic from construction.

Microsoft says it is aware of the lawsuit and is working to be a good neighbor, adding that it has already made changes to reduce the noise and other issues.

Yeah when I got this I thought "Oh yeah I'm going to do more than just gaming!", and most of what I've done is gaming. Though tbf I got the 5900x when it came out, so the 5800x3d wasn't out yet.

What's the purpose other than being really expensive for dual resolution monitors? Like why would you ever need a 4k and then 1080p option?

And don't say anime. Watching 1080p anime on a 4k screen is absolutely fine.

>>109204126
In my case, it was like 100 bucks less than the 5800X3D at the time. Oh what a fool I was.

>>109204148
bro...
i remember watching the initial 12-core 3d-vcache presentation on stage by lisa and thinking what a great idea it'd be for gaming performance and that i wouldn't have a chance to enjoy it because of my intel motherboard
to think you gave that up to save $100...

>>109203211
haha

>>109204143
Mostly that the tech is already there
oled pixels change almost instantly which enables >1000hz monitors, but you have limitations in the electronics on how fast you can switch 4k res pixels, limitations are relaxed on lower resolutions so you can push refresh rates higher

What people use those dual mode on I dont really know. Maybe esports. Maybe they run all games on 1080p because their gpu is too weak, and switch to 4k for anime.

>>109204109
>but won't that affect performance
That's not the point right now. It's just a test. Performance is irrelevant without stability.

Even then were talking small percentages, the sort of difference that only shows up in benchmarks, you’ll not notice it in real world scenarios

I was confused why its noteworthy to have noise absorbing material for the pump. Like, if it was relevant everyone would do it since its so low tech thing.
Turns out its just so pathetic noise reduction its hard to care.

>>109204245
True. Well that's another thing I'll check tomorrow(later today). Gonna be a long day ahead of me.

Been thinking of changing from air cooling to liquid cooling on my 9800x3d, but that'd be a lot of work.

>>109204282
>pathetic noise reduction
that's the entire noctua brand

>>109204143
Not that I watch much anime these days, but isn't blowing up any 1080p source to 4K going to look worse compared to its original resolution?

I know TVs have some sort of upscaling algorithms, but I don't think PC monitors have that.

I have a 5900x and am glad I got it over a 5800x3d, because I really do use the cores.

>>109204300
Nvidia app has a super resolution thing that you can use to clean up video live

>>109204109
wdym how? it was stable before (it wasnt ever but the error rate was low enough to ignore) then i had to lower my offset to be stable again. if i roll back the update, or reinstall from a previous version, i can set it back to where it was.

>>109204143
its mostly a symptom of oled being ahead of its time. the panel can handle the high refresh rates in the low res mode but the display interface and scaler cannot handle the bandwidth requirement of driving that refresh rate while at its native resolution

>>109204282
are we watching the same video? the noise reduction clearly reduced a lot of the annoying pump whine

>>109204401
Isn't some PC oled monitors doing like 4k 240hz? I mean unless 240hz is still too slow.

>>109204423
The 4k 240hz according to google ai couldnt go faster because of the volt delivery to each pixel line by line for 8mil pixels had some bottlenecks.

Samsung still figured it out and theres 4k 360hz monitors coming out.

>>109203412
Also both case and radiator fan speeds have a negligible effect on temperatures, all it changes is the quantity of cold air being blown out of my case, it's as if no heat ever makes it to the radiator at all

>>109203211
>stuff is going to be MUCH better in 2 years

>>109203611
The point is that you need to tard wrangle the high RPM fans with custom curves as by default they will be ramping up to retarded speeds. Ideally use FanControl and manually tune things as you run test loads, then you can replicate that in the UEFI if you don't want dedicated software running in the background.

This will end either this year or early next year. Already there's FUD within the investors, and without the investors this scam cannot continue. All these companies still trying to give us any products, new or old, shows that the whole "cloud PC's" conspiracy theory is bullshit. If they truly wanted that, they wouldn't bother with trying to deliver such products to the market.

But I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped giving a shit about the consumer market given how you've all became the nightmare consumers. No matter what they'd do, you'd bitch and moan and hate their products, while the enterprise client not only has more money, the enterprise client isn't perpetually unsatisfied with some gay vendetta against the companies.

Thing will get better. If you don't believe that, kill yourself.

does this fix pixel burn ins? or is this tech still a meme?

>>109204626
The fact that you need to come up with these types of features is admitting that no matter how good OLED gets, it's fundamental flaw still persists. I value my monitors not getting permanent burn-in over having true blacks, fastest response whatever.

I'd rather wait for MiniLED to catch on a bit more than buying an OLED. Taking an existing technology like IPS or VA and bridging it's biggest gap from OLED by implementing per-pixel backlighting will be the way to go desu. The end game will be having a true RGB backlight for every pixel, by that point you'll essentially have feature parity with OLED, minus the response time.

>>109204753
OLED screens often not adhering to the standard subpixel layout is another big issue, yes. And the "pixel cleaning" is actually shortening your screen's lifespan bit by bit. Yes, OLED's "solution" to pixel burn-in is to evenly burn all pixels out every time you run that, so it's likely that within a few years you'll have half of the original brightness. All those advances in OLED tech and this is still the #1 issue that hasn't been properly resolved, and it's the only screen technology suffering from it.

Pixel Cleaning for me turns off the screen and detects static elements. I dont think this reduces the lifespan. Pixel Refresh is the one that goes through the colours and would reduce its lifespan unless I'm missing something.

So like, do any of these AI companies actually make money yet? All I'm seeing is investors keeping them up with no long-term solution on how to be profitable.

You figure at some point, investors are going to want to see some profit from these AI companies. And even if they do an ipo, they still have to make money at some point. I'm just waiting for the AI bubble to pop and watch DDR flood the market.

If you fags are worried about burn in, just buying PC OLED monitor from Costco. You can return that shit whenever you want.

Theres several trillion dollars moving around
Nvidia, spacex, anthropic, openai, sk hynix, samsung shareholders got a ridiculous payday. Few because they make chips/systems, some because they have world class models they sell access to.

Lots of companies pay per token use for coding assistance, and the companies anthropic, openai make money from selling said tokens but they're unprofitable as long as they invest into new datacenter buildup.

CXMT (China’s top DRAM maker) just made a bold statement.

They say Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are not their real rivals.

Instead, the company is targeting NVIDIA and Apple as the true competitors, with the goal of becoming the global #1 in DRAM within 5 years.

CXMT has grown fast: from 3 percent market share last year to 8 percent this year. Alrrady prepping a major IPO and expanding capacity while the big three prioritize high-margin HBM for AI.

Apple is reportedly considering China's CXMT chips despite geopolitical risks.

Korean investors are divided, some admire the ambition, others see a tough road ahead given the technology gap in advanced nodes.

CXMT is closing gaps on mature processes and benefiting from overall memory demand, but overtaking the leaders to become #1 is a very high bar.

Ambitious plan or realistic challenge?

I will still try to install it, maybe i can remove one of the frontal intake fans to make room, i dont think ill take a hatchet to the case to make room like in some those redneck engineering cases you see sometimes posted in here.
Worst case scenario ill buy a new case, not gonna skip on an upgrade on the gpu when a decent budget case is like 60€ and i can cannibalize my current fans or w/e

A French retailer has listed the limited edition ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 Edition 20 for the crazy price of €6,499, which is €700 more than ASUS’ official European price of €5,799.

The Edition 20 was made to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ROG brand and has a special black and gold design, a built-in AMOLED screen, factory overclocking, and support for up to 800W of power.

Even with its huge price tag, it still isn’t the most expensive RTX 5090 ASUS has released.

>>109205284
most of asus' boards including the extreme and glacial don't even have the BTF connector required for 800w operation

>>109205303
if it's anything like the matrix, the gpu board will be hardwired to run in 600w mode if only one of its two connectors is connected

I had a 970evo 2tb which was on its last month of warranty when it died early April
I just sent it Eindhoven and like 4 hours after receiving it they sent me a 990evo 2tb as replacement (i assume 970 are out of manufacturing)
Basically fill out the claim on their page, get a reply with the shipping label, send it, and literally a few hours after being noticed that it had been received they authorized the replacement.
On a disk that had 1 month left on the warranty, i felt like i won the lotto getting a new ssd right then

Honest question.
Is it that much of a problem with space where a steam machine comes out to even resembling a good option?
I see people clamoring about muh SFF but to me that always seemed like a post-hoc rational after it was revealed how high the price was. Most people generally regarded the small form factor as more a side effect of integration/mass production rather than the main point and something to pay a premium over before the price reveals.

Shitty picture shows my 296mm 3060TI so its probably 315mm to the fan.
Im just hoping i can simply remove the middle fan to get the extra 25mm
We'll see, as i said worst case scenario i will just pick all the fans from this one and spend 60€ on a decent budget case w/o fans and use my current ones.
And to think i only picked this case cause it was on a good sale back in the day and i was really struggling with money.

So yeah i will just spend the money on the case and on him, everybody happy (mainly me)

>>109205385
it has 39% more performance and only in raster at that
with how most games are built today, using regular TAA or god forbid fsr3 worsens image quality.
so even if you get 10% or 20% better perf than a 3060ti on dlss quality, you'd be taking a concession in image quality

>>109205396
the 6800xt is a big card, it needs a gpu support or an horizontal case

I need a system with at least 256GB of RAM but have no other strong requirements. The reasonable move is probably getting an older (DDR4) Threadripper or Epyc system, but what should I look for exactly? Did some generations have common issues or anything like that?

>>109205399
Yeah the period between dlss 2.0 release in 2020 until 9070xt release with fsr4 was pretty damning for amd

Steam Deck is weak and is still a great device. but that was mostly because it was priced so aggressively. I don't think their hardware has mass appeal at these new prices though.

At its current price, there is nobody beside the hardcore fans who is buying it. Valv knows this and that's why they only make a few hundred of each SKU for each region. Really they should have put a serial number from 1 to 20000 into each box so collectors know what they are getting.

I've heard all the supposed "use cases" from "wife approved device" to "best SFF device" and it just paints a picture of sadness.

It and it isn't. There's no way to compete with a whole collectivist race, within market dynamics.

The koreans will dump cheap chips on the market the moment anyone opens a factory.

That's why Sir William Blackstone recommended the use of tariffs and other buying incentives to maintain vital supplies. His example was the wool industry, he liked wool a lot, apparently. I bet his students made fun of him for this.

One of his examples of a good law is one that required people to be buried in wool. This propped up production of wool, because foreign wool wasn't allowed.

It's a mandate, but it was pro-the-people.

I guess a motherboard with a backplate and that has the first PCIe slot lower would be ideal for stability and thermals.
Also EATX boards where the CPU socket is pushed slightly forwards because a 25mm thick fan barely fits in the rear exhaust but the blades would be right up against the cooler.
Maybe something like the Thermalright TL-B12015 will be good enough.
Other than that pic related might be the best layout for the IceGiant, with the yellow being dividers so air doesn't recirculate.

>>109202874
Neat, but overpriced.
Like, yeah. It's good. But, for that price you could build a custom water cooling loop and blow it out the water.

>>109207274
You can get a decent one for 2000 euro,
take this as a base and check if there's better priced ram/ssd/psu in your cunt, https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/k98fdq

Why aren't lay-flat cases more popular, anyways?
I feel like it's the natural alignment for things. Maybe I could also get my CD-bay drives back.

>>109206895
Oh man, I'm definitely out the loop when it comes to PC building. I can't understand why the IceGiant is a better liquid cooling solution than a regular AIO with hoses.

>>109207600
because hot air rises. You do see flat computers in server racks, but those have the slight downside of having really loud fans.

>>109207600
I really want a sub 11 liter mini itx case with a cd drive. I feel like this shouldn't be too much to ask

>>109202971
aioslop is dogshit compared to a real loop, nobody cares

AMD graphics card owners face system crashes. Continuous black screens cannot be fixed by driver cleanup. During the analysis PC users identified the source of issues.

The culprit behind failures is Riot Vanguard anti-cheat. This security software conflicts with Microsoft Generic AMD Driver. The utility completely blocks proper graphics operation.

To resolve these stability issues users must disable Riot Vanguard. After doing this the crash rate drops to 0%. There is no official compatibility patch yet.

>>109207835
EAC is also broken on certain Nvidia drivers and ASUS BIOS

>>109207835
>conflicts with Microsoft Generic AMD Driver
Probably wasn't white listed, they most likely only white listed the official AMD version of the driver and not the one that comes from windows update.

I've used both a Nova and a Tacihi with my 9950X for over a year now, no problems. PBO enabled

GPUs are largely unobtanium and could not be gotten the price performance onces, once the top end gpus ran out nothing either, plenty of time though

>Prices now
You can still buy everything, prebuilts are stocked, it's just expensive

Being poor is the only problem
everything exists

>Cant decide between air coolor or aio and which fans to use

>>109208027
Get an AIO, use the fans the case comes with, no need to spend extra.

>>109206895
Ice Giant ended up becoming a massive disappointment in terms of performance, no?

>>109207636
Everything's moving towards liquid-cooling, anyways.

I can't tell what you're for or against from this post.

The only thing I don't like about my Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is that there is no CD bay.

I miss my CD bays.

Anyways, I need to sell my ancient system. It has a 2070 Super, but the rest is like 24GB DDR3 RAM and an i7-4770k. Someone told me to throw a 1060 in it and sell the 2070 separately. Is that likely the best way to do it? How much do you think I could get for the system? Like $150?

>>109208086
Even so, the heat still needs to go somewhere. Moving the heat exchanger into another room or outside requires a whole lot of hardware that you're not likely to deploy unless you're doing a full datacenter buildout.

Yeah, it's by far not as good as it could've been.
The main problem are the aluminium workstation heatspreader, the Arctic P12 had enough static pressure to run with just 2 fans so they could either add more fins, make the cooler thicker or use a more noise efficient fan.
They had a copper version in the works but it seems like they dropped it.
And because it sucks in the exhaust of the GPU it ran warmer by default. Using an O11 with the upright GPU mount, or a rotated CPU socket like the X870 Aorus Tachyon Ice on a case with a rotated motherboard like the Thermaltake CTE C750 Air would work, like pic related.
The Jiushark JF15K has the same problem with sucking in all the hot GPU exhaust.
EZDIY FAB Uright GPU Mount is another option but is pretty much restricted to full/super towers.

>>109208014
The problem is that people don't like being ripped off.

>>109208164
Correct, it's why I haven't bought a new car even though I was planning on buying one before COVID hit.

why are there no good looking microatx cases anymore

>>109207835
maybe dont install shit with kernel anti cheat then you wont have those issues

>>109208192
Because you're not looking hard enough. Or you just have bad taste. Post a full-size you think looks good.

I almost had a heart attack when the BIOS said you can't revert the update but it turned out there's a setting that locks rollbacks why the fuck would they add this

Do PSUs degrade? Having some stability problems when 100%'ing both GPU and CPU recently, and my Seasonic Focus Plus 650 is from 2017.

>>109208354
all things degrade over time yeah

>>109208354
Yes the power degrades overtime that's why you overspec your PSU
