Still happy with my Radeon RX 5600 XT. I can do UHD with MCC Halo: Reach! (3840x2160) And that's with high settings and "Radeon Boost" disabled.

If I have to stop using my Samsung UR55 28-inch monitor, then I guess I'll try VSR, as this UHD monitor only supports old-CRT-like 60 Hz. But right off the bat, is still better than a Samsung NU6900 series TV, because it has Display Port support and UHD so far doesn't cause a video crash. I don't get TVs anymore, unless it's an OLED!

That's my dream monitor at the moment. Not gonna happen soon, though.

It is quite good, I got it for a good price...still expensive though. I think it is worth it as I use it for both gaming and work.

Nice monitor, you are lucky if you have not had problems with it, reading the reviews on amazon UK, seems very hit and miss, with light bleed and other things.

Was flickering but I updated the firmware and now perfect. In game it's awesome

I'm loving my Tablet/desktop sensor monitor, it's so useful while gaming for fps and temps. Looks good too

freeagent · Oct 22, 2021

I just switched back to my old cooler for a bit.. temps are up a bit.. it’s a loose mount, the original. I bought an updated mount so I will try it out tomorrow maybe.. forgot it was a bit loose. Still works ok and looks good imo

The weird thing is the mount was good on that dead tuff board I bought from newegg.. so not too sure what to think. Z height changed between the two boards but why?

Edit:

Ok, I couldn't run that setup know I had something better. So before the coffee was ready this morning I immediately tore the system down and swapped coolers lol.. 10c difference in Aid64 stability test.. crazy.

And since no one was home to laugh at me I snapped a few more pix

Hi, I do have a few flickering issues and some minor other problems...most of these seems to be related to using an AMD GPU... I managed to get them kind of sorted and I learned to live with them. I really enjoy the size and format, it makes up for the issues. I would recommend using an Nvidia GPU if someone wants to buy it.

@freeagent That first cooler was that bad? Judging by its size one would think you could run an HEDT CPU on that thing.

No it’s not a bad cooler at, pretty wicked if you ask me.. the problem is when it mounts to my Strix, you can rotate the cooler when it is fully installed. That problem does not exist on an Intel setup. I bought a tuff b550 and mounted the cooler to the board, and it was just as tight as you would expect it to be in any install. So in the end not enough mounting pressure on this board. That’s why I was confused on how the Z height could change between the two boards. I did try a shim but it wasn’t enough.

That was the best cooler I had used to date, just not doing so well with my current setup.

Does the cooler have a backplate or are you using the stock one that came with the board? I've noticed a few times that the stock backplate seems to wobble alot before tightening coolers down I'm never sure if the mounting pressure is enough.

I can’t use the stock one with that cooler, or else I would try it. Like I said on the Tuff it was fine, maybe it’s a Strix thing? Z height is not something I concerned myself with much in the past. I still have a new mount I can try, the one I labeled AM4 should have been good. I have 3 of their older style mounts.

Socket is all the same, backplate is usually the same (except B550I Gaming Edge and Gaming Edge Max, but functionally still the same). The only things that are different are the stock cooler black mounting arms (some are curved and some are more blocky, idk if some have special accommodations for SMD components). So that just sounds like the old AM4 mount is messed up, or the cooler is messed up. Or the board is defective, but in that case other coolers should work like crap.

Didn't TR used to have this weird looking square mount for AM4? The new Thermalright mount from the SS135 is basically the same as how Secufirm works, and works well as you'd expect.

Only other thing I can think of is that the sheer weight of your coolers may have bowed the Strix a bit over time. But normally it shouldn't have any effects given how strong the mount is. My C14S also weighs in at about 1.3kg but hasn't left any boards looking like a banana.

freeagent · Oct 26, 2021

Everything should be the same right,,that’s what standard are for.. but like I said it mounted perfectly to that dead tuff but on the strix you can twist it back and forth. True Spirit 140 Power mounts just fine with the same mount so idkwtf. And on my Intel setups no problem. That Strix just has to be different lol :laugh:

Also had the board out the other day still nice and straight :confused:

The only thing I can think of is I am using Intel shims.. but fairly certain I am not..

Is something contacting the VRM heatsink or something with that specific cooler? Shouldnt budge a millimeter if its fully tightened. You sure its sitting nice and flat when you're finished?

Pretty obvious if its mounted out of the case but in that case I can definitely see it being hard to eyeball it...what's up with the shims?

Nope, wide open spaces everywhere.. there are AMD and Intel spacers, AMD uses thicker ones than Intel. It had always been like that for some reason, from my 3600XT onwards. FS140 uses the same mount as your SS I believe, a Noctua clone

this weekend I might dig into it a bit more to see what is really going on.. I have mounted that thing so many times in various systems it almost doesn’t require any thought.

Installed new cooler today, sadly I have no air compressor, so cleaning delayed until i can take my case to a friend.

I love this thing. There is just something awesome about yuge cases. Specs are on my profile, but the Mach64 for decoration is new.

Some before pics as well:

At first I was concerned that having the Mach64 in front of the card that it would hurt thermals, but there appears to be no significant effect that I can notice. I think it looks pretty cool for the moment but it may not stay forever. And yes, the card does indeed work last I checked!

Glass Handed Kites · Oct 27, 2021

A Ryzen 7 5800X cooled by a Noctua NH-U12A, with the two included fans swapped to the front case intake, and two, 2000 RPM Noctua Industrial PWM fans on the cooler.

Camera quality is just bad.

seth1911 · Oct 27, 2021

I made a little mistake i got a 2 new boards and there were 2 CPU with paste on it so i took one tough it was the 7870 nah in the Bios i realiced it was the A8 5500.
But i dont want to pick the board again out to change the cpu, now i have the A8 5500 as main system and added a HD6570 2GB for crossfire :laugh:
