I don't currently own a Ryzen 3700X cpu. I thought about getting one, but in a passive computer build that should handle the cpu ok, but I thought it would be good to know in advance if I could undervolt the cpu if needed, to lower the temps. I don't like to namedrop products I know little...

No, I don't currently own the computer case in question (Monsterlabo). Seems to me, the stated limit is 270mm pcb length. Too bad sellers don't seem to care for providing illustrations with measurements. :| I wonder if maybe I only require the length of the pcb part itself, not really sure...

@ red eye That would be really nice if you could. I got the impression that reference cards are rather short. The AMD RX 5700 XT are problematic, because I am considering adding a particular VRM heatsink to whatever card I might end up with (perhaps), and then, the reference AMD cards seem to...

Well, I spent a lot of time (trying to) figure out what lengths various RTX 2070 and RX 5700 XT cards have and it was tricky. I was unable to confirm the pcb card length for the following card, anybody know? I have been looking for such cards that are below 270 mm long. With a little luck...

Oh, I found a video just now that seem to discuss the subject. I had no idea that coil whine noise might be just vibration noise from the components.

I am considering switching to Nvidia, always having stuck with AMD cards. A good candidate is the Nvidia GTX 2070, but, if I add this to a passive cooled pc build I thought I would be wise and ask for opinions about possible coil whine. What I think I have learned, based all on hearsay thorugh...

Ah, Ok. :) Thank you. Btw, I am reading that there is supposedly a 'AMD Ryzen 9 Pro 3900' cpu, with allegedly 65W TDP, with 12 cores. :O

So, I found this youtube video for using M-flash, so I guess I can at least use an USB pen drive in a regular usb port, to flash a pre-downloaded bios file. And then, I guess, I maybe have to do that with an older Ryzen cpu (other than 3700X?) which I luckily have...

I am wondering, if a Ryzen 3700X cpu is running hot at default (something I've been reading, unsure how updated that info is) because of a high idle voltage, would anyone have an idea how to maybe make the Ryzen 3700X run cooler using the bios on the B450I Gaming Plus AC board? Apparently the...

Ok, so far I think I am getting closer to something that might be a future Ryzen 3700X build: Monsterlabo case (passive cooled with six heapipes and stuff) w. optional 120mm fan & 200mm fan on top. Ryzen 3700X cpu (eight core, 7nm cpu) MSI B450I gaming mobo (has an M.2 slot on the backside, for...

I think not having a fan included on the mobo is a plus in this case. Thanks for the feedback! Apparently the MSI B450I Gaming Plus AC mobo is fully compatible with the Monsterlabo case so that is good to know. Seems that maybe there isn't a way to downvolt the cpu with the MSI B450I, unsure...

Thanks for the feedback. I will check that mobo out. Ah, that is an ATX mobo, so a little too large. (sry, a webpage said it was ATX, but official webpage sys mini-ITX. Btw, the instruction video for monsterlabo case also show their M.2 slot being on the backside, easily used that way. I did...

Oh, regarding 3700X and Monsterlabo with some mobo, they pointed out high temps, but perhaps not due to case? Unsure. Something to investigate further as a consumer. Apparently some issue with high idle temps with the 3700X. Sounds familiar to me, but nothing I know much about. I think I read...

I am considering building a passive PC build (Monsterlabo), but I have a difficult time figuring out if there are any AMD mini-ITX mobos with the M.2 slot on the backside. https://www.monsterlabo.com/compatibility According to the website above, an AMD X470 mobo sort of fits, with tweaks, but I...

The huge passive cooler was said to scale to some 95W TDP, iirc. It seems, maybe it would be ok, if cpu boost, only boosts one of the eight cores. I will admit, I don't know if a 3700X will work well for me, but I would think that it would at least work better than the 1800X, if the 3700X has a...

Ah, so, near silent isn't good enough, or, "near silent" is pretty much what I have today (on my other computer). I can still hear the woosh of the air flowing all the time, which I don't like. If gaming, I probably wear a headset and some noise is not important, but on idle, I want it ideally...

For somebody like me that considers upgrading the old failed experimental build of mine, from a hot eight core 14nm 1800X cpu, to an eight core 7nm 3700X, I am a little cautious as my former experiment with passive cooling didn't yield satisfactory results in terms of cooling. Now, I think I...

Q: I am wondering if anyone here has the Crosshair VI Hero board running ok with a Ryzen 3700X cpu. I jumped onto the Ryzen hype train and being an early adopter with the 1800X a couple of years ago, but in an experimental configuration (passive cpu cooling) which didn't work well enough. So...

Edit: I have fixed my issue, by changing the Arma3.cfg file, so that screen refresh is set to 90Hz and not 60Hz. (My 144Hz monitor has a lower 35-90Hz freesync range in addition to the 56-144Hz) Anyone here running Arma 3 with a 144Hz monitor? (I am using Crimson beta 16.5.1 atm) I have an...

Update: My issues below are solved. Arma 3 has a config file with some screen refresh setting. It seems that the value has to be set to the same as the screen refresh in windows. Hm. I play Arma 3 a lot (Sa-Matra Wasteland multiplayer), and I am puzzled by how the monitor seem to drop to 60hz...
