    Memory testing beyond memtest86?

    Thanks Riev90 i will try that, but at the moment im running Prim95's memory test that also uses 99% of the memory and im going to run that for like 24hrs then if that passes I will try TM5 and AIDA64 just for good measure.

    Memory testing beyond memtest86?

    Hey I have a 32G kit of DDR4 3200MHz (i dont recall make and model off the top of my head i can get the details latter if needed) anyway I was using the kit in my main rig back in 2019 and even thought it was 100% in memtest86 it was having small issues, random crashes in games like stellaris...

    What ever happend to the 800MHz FSB?

    ya ok, so thanks for clarifying that for me, I did not know that the PCIe full size slot is basically a 16bit bus just super super fast, so becasuse PCI is 32bit that means the old PCI buses are double the bit just much much slower, as that makes senes as the more data chanlles in serial you...

    What ever happend to the 800MHz FSB?

    Ya that makes sense, as the CPU became more integrated the Bus for the memory controller and such were moved in to the CPU its self and now the FSB is just the PCIe refrence speed, the reminds me at the start of the i7 era ppl who were overclocking were told to advoid clocking the FSB to much...

    What ever happend to the 800MHz FSB?

    I was watching an XP build on youtube by AkBKuKu on his TechTangents channle and he is using an old P4 550, now I forgot untill I was watching this video but back then intel was running there FSB at 800MHz... now i think AMD was also doing this with there AMD64 platform, i do recall seening a...

    msi meg x570 unify cpu fan stuck on lowest speed

    Will try downgrading the BIOS when I get a chance but im not messing with the thermal pad under the heatsink, the board is still under warranty first off and secondly I suffer from spinal damage so I would take me much longer to do that and this being my primary rig I dont want it to have...

    msi meg x570 unify cpu fan stuck on lowest speed

    ya the temps were all reported in the bios as high, the case has good airflow and 3 case fans (2 front 1 rear) the chipset fan was at 0 RPM for hours before I noticed the issue and the CPU fan was at its slowest speed, I can not switch sensors for the chipset and switching for the CPU did...

    Who's Happy So Far with Ryzen 3000 Series?

    Been using my 3900X since august and it is amazing, heat is a issue but it is solved with a massive cooler, don't think I will be doing a platform update for atleast a few years, will be updating my GFX from a 1070ti to something newer when the next generation of GPU's drop R9 3900X 12C 24T...

    msi meg x570 unify cpu fan stuck on lowest speed

    I built my R9 3900X system back last august, my Gigbyte Master board I had with it died suddenly (I think a transistor on the board its self shorted out) so I swapped in a MSI MEG x570 unify as a quick and cheap replacement and it worked amazingly, even the CPU was about 10oC cooler under full...

    Click of death nightmare

    Well you might have a laugh but I pull out the PSU to check the cable ports and the one that had gone to the HDD's just fell off, I dont think it was in 100% the way since I assembled the PC 2 months ago, no issues ether until the 8TB seemingly failed now im worried i sent A working HDD off, damit

    I'm having a very strange issue, A week ago my bran new 8TB WD HDD started doing the click of death, it quickly locked up my computer and I had to pull the drive to get it to boot again, I threw a backup drive in its place and surmised my new 8TB was a lemon and needed to go back to WD. Today I...

    AGESA 1.0.0.3 ABB

    Gigabyte dropped F5-I BIOS today running AGESA 1.0.0.3 ABB, anyone update to this yet, it calms better XMP compatibly and "Improve Destiny 2 gaming compatibility" Hopefully this will fix some of the issues with clock stability at XMP and the unreasonably high Vcore at stock

    3900x is hot and I need to cool her better.

    single core boost got to 4.25GHz vs 4.2GHz lol, you need water cooling to get a higher boost i think or exotic cool 0_o

    3900x is hot and I need to cool her better.

    Got the Noctua d15 mounted and it took my idle temps down by 20oC and max load temps by 10-15oC, it now peaks at 76oC under full load, 40 runs with intel burn test v2 holding all core boost at 4.0GHz, this is more then likly the best i will do for a pure air solution, I could get the temps down...

    3900x is hot and I need to cool her better.

    lowered my Vcore by a -0.035v offset and it is going to a average of 1.33v under all core load but is still super hot hitting 87oC on a cinabench run, I looked around and found a Noctua d15, it does not seem to have a bracket for AM4 so i will need to bust out the drill I guess..... ...

    3900x is hot and I need to cool her better.

    Will do a Vcore offset like you said, it does seem to be pushing alot a voltage to the CPU on default setting, I'm getting a average reported in CPUid of 1.44v

    3900x is hot and I need to cool her better.

    I just started getting a new 3900x system up, and I have noticed it is a hot CPU with the stock cooler, the wraith work great with the 2700x but this CPU is pushing much more power then that ever could and it shows, the CPU is idling at 60-66oC, hitting 70oC under light load and getting up to...

    The Future of Computing

    Were at a interesting time for CPU development, Silicon as we currently use it is getting to it's frequency limitations and with out a new material we may be stuck with a maximum of 4-5GHz for a long time, AMD's chiplet CPU's have shaken up a once extremely stable market of just wintel sparking...

    Who is looking to upgrade to Zen2

    I think Intel is going to need to do something about AMD's chiplets, right now intel is stuck on monolithic chips designs and they are expensive and lower yield parts hence why intel charges more for there higher core parts, greed is not the main driver for the cost of a 12c 24t intel CPU...

    Boil your going to anger Tangoseal, the rumors surrounding TR Death have been heavy exaggerated, TR is well and fine living with his family in a undisclosed location and not, i repeat not in a ICU on life support with Lisa Sue trying to pull the plug on religious grounds, so go home and forget...

    Safe using desktop outdoors in fog and salty air?

    If you must have a gaming PC in your garage in these conditions your best bet is mineral oil bath, i will keep it cool and protect it from the elements the only thing is you will need to go 100% SSD for storage you can't submerge mechanical drives and the salt/fog will kill them also make sure...

    Who is looking to upgrade to Zen2

    If we do get this for threadripper 3000 i really hope they have backwards compatibility atleast to the 32-48core, it would help out those who bought in to the platform when 16cores was the max, with that said I would not be supirsed if there was memory bandwidth limatations on the older MOBD's...

    Who is looking to upgrade to Zen2

    I hope your right but I wont hold my breath until the MOBD manufacturers confirm the 12core parts on there x370 units.... it would make for a nice side grade if it is supported

    Dam dude, hopefully it does not degrade but i have it on a pretty light OC its 3.825GHz 1.30Vcore and 1.122Vsoc, I would trim the vcore down more but I dont have a load line calibration option so I can really change the way the MOBD gives the CPU a boost under load and i dont think it would be...

    What is the cheapest available CPU I can slap in a AM4 socket? Building a gaming PC for my brother

    lol sry didnt think of the conversion, still ppl selling 1080 ti used for 900$ CND is still alot, i only saw one for 700$ and it said sold by it so it was not looking to good for the used 1080 ti, the 1070 ti will be pretty dam good
