Talking most recent tech purchases... The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X with some Arctic MX-6 thermal paste. Needed to be able to install it. lol Had no thermal paste beforehand.

Its been a while since I posted to this thread. I've done another upgrade or two since I last posted, so I wanna get those out now. Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (new) Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo V2 (dual-fan) RAM: 32GB 3200MHz (16GB more) Mobo: MSI B550-A Pro (new) GPU: PNY GTX...

The GPU and case was not starved for air at all. I generally tend to keep my room cool, around 20-22c, which the GPU edge temp sat around 25-27c. The GPU fan would spin up from the 900rpm base, up to 1100-1200rpm. Though when I let my room temp climb to around 26-28c, the edge temp goes up to...

So some time ago, I had upgraded my graphics card from a PNY XLR8 GTX 960 that had 4GB of ram instead of 2GB. Card served me pretty well, then I had upgraded to a hand-me-down PNY GTX 1660 Ti. The prior card, I'm not sure what was going on with it at the time. It had no issues or anything, but...

I lost 600MHz worth of memory bandwidth due to this bug. I run a GTX 960, and its average frequency speed is 3500MHz, and I bumped it 100MHz safely. I lost a lot of performance while playing games due to this bug. I personally do not have this option to change on Windows 10. And I lost...

The title needs to be changed, as I personally feel is very misleading. It implies that all 7900 XTX cards are affected, not just the reference coolers. Its only the reference coolers that are affected, not anything else.

It happens regardless of whether hardware acceleration is on or not. I've tried just about everything. I've been relegated to using the browser version because of this issue. I wouldn't doubt a driver issue because even though I always update my graphics drivers through use of DDU and ensuring...

I am having this very strange bug with the desktop Discord app. My graphics card has run stable for over a year with a +102 on the GPU core, +100 on the GPU memory. It runs at 3600MHz all day long, no hitches or anything. However, over the past few days, Discord received an update, and now...

Can't help but be curious, but what are the specs on it?

Thanks! The GTX 960 in my system was a hand-me-down from my brother. The GPU itself was, for me, twice as powerful as the old graphics card I was using before. An AMD Radeon RX550. And it practically had no room for overclocking because the GPU fan was practically locked down. It was...

The topic here is "Your PC ATM", so I figure I'll give specs for my current build. Mind you I have little money, so it isn't the greatest. Case: Cooler Master Elite 311 Plus [from an old-old build from 2011] PSU: Cooler Master MWE 650 80+ Gold Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350M-E CPU: AMD Ryzen 3...

This! ^ You're the only person I've seen talking about this that is giving constructive criticism! Everyone else for whatever reason is chiding ASRock, calling the case ugly, and saying nothing that contributes to proper feedback.

If that's the case, the motherboard I currently have isn't doing my 3300X any good at all. Because having it set to default without PBO sets it default to run between 1.375 to 1.4 all the time. While idle, and under full load. Not to mention it runs hotter at the default settings. Only when I...

lol My mistake. Its running at 1.3v. I have the clock manually set, and it runs at 4.35 all day long at 1.3v. Though when I set it to auto, and had PBO set to 200MHz, it would reach 4.45 at 1.4v, almost 1.5v. So I'm leaving the manual clock as is.

I'm fairly certain the reviewer got a lower silicon quality 3300X, but I was able to achieve a stable 4.35GHz overclock. My motherboard set its voltage between 1.375v to 1.4v. But yes, this CPU is quite incredible for its price point.
