Yeah, even with full load on both CPU and GPU, it'd barely reach half the PSU's capacity, reviews for it seem decent and it's the cheapest modular SFX PSU with sleeved cables available that I can grab right now, guess I'll go for it, thanks.

I have a spare PC with i5-12400 + 3060 Ti in a Fractal Terra case with 120mmx15mm fan installed on the bottom, which restricts my options a bit and it'd a lot easier (cable management wise) if the PSU came with sleeved cables instead of these flat ones, but I can't seem to find a decent enough...

I'm aware, it just won't boot at all with EXPO enabled, I've waited 30+ mins, and since my last post here I've conducted some more tests, it's the motherboard that's the issue. I put the CPU + RAM in my motherboard (same board, MSI B650i Edge, both on same BIOS version as well as similar...

As mentioned in the initial post, the kit is Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM, 32GB (2x 16GB), 6000MHz CL36, AMD EXPO Compatible. Though that same kit worked fine in my system with EXPO enabled, I'm starting to think it's the motherboard that's the issue.

I'll have to give that a go in a moment, but if that doesn't help and it results in the PC still not booting, I'll just not bother with overclocking the memory speed and instead just tighten the timings a bit. Yeah, won't bother with CO either, even on stock it performs decently, I'm surprised...

When EXPO is on, the DRAM voltage is set to 1.350v, which seems about right? I tried setting it to 5200mhz non-EXPO with 1.350v (up from 1.1v on stock), booted but CPU runs a bit slower. Everything at stock (4800MHz, DRAM voltage at 1.1v), the CPU scores 25500~ in CB R23 mulitcore test, which...

So I'm trying to sort out things on a relative's computer with few issues, the components that are potentially problematic & the issues are, Components, - Ryzen 7900 - MSI B650i Edge board (with latest BIOS released on 15/8) - Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM, 32GB (2x 16GB), 6000MHz CL36, AMD EXPO...

I usually only update when it's necessary (to fix exploits), I'm upgrading to a CPU that's not supported by current version, or I'm running into issues (like when I got my MSI B650i Edge board, I would occasionally get missing graphics in BIOS, making it hard to navigate, which was solved when I...

Dell U2412M, a 1200p IPS monitor that I got back in 2011, it's still going but over the past few years it developed yellowing and backlighting issues that worsens with each year, eventually it'll get too much and I'll have to retire it, but it functions wonderfully as a 2nd monitor in vertical mode.

Yeah, the IHS doesn't look straight, which suggests that it's been delidded and swapped.

1080 is almost 10 years old, 4070 is almost 2x faster based on a quick look at the benchmarks.

For gaming, 7800X3D makes 6700K look like it's from 2003, to give you an idea. :p Seriously though, it's a significant jump, even going from Ryzen 9 5900X that I had previously, the jump was massive.

Yeah it'll be fine, it doesn't run too hot when gaming anyway (at least with the games I have), using Peerless Assassin 120 SE cooler

Yeah, a significant drop to CPU temp, about 15c drop for 10~% loss in multicore performance.

Eco mode won't impact gaming performance much, or at all, depending on the game, I had a 5900X and had to put it in eco mode during the heatwave and games ran pretty much the same. If you feel dropping to eco mode is too much, you could adjust PBO and CO settings instead, default PPT for 105w...

Yeah, no issues at all, even left my PC on overnight to be sure.

So I just decided to upgrade and grabbed a 7800X3D (as well as a motherboard and 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz RAM), and wow, I'm seriously impressed with the gaming performance from this CPU, it made my 5900X (that I upgraded from) look seriously outdated, everything feels so smooth it's unreal. Set...

Pea sized blob and spread it with one of these mini spatula.

Is there any point in going for 7900X3D instead of 7800X3D or 7950X3D? 7900X3D is in a weird position where you get access to 6 cores with extra cache instead of 8 on other CPUs, it'd be better if it used 8 + 4 cores design instead of 6 + 6 cores.

Hoping someone here can help me figure out something since the internet isn't helping much. I have a Keychron V2 keyboard that just won't go to sleep after a certain amount of time (I have the timeout set to 15 mins (900000 ms), but the LEDs would just stay lit up. In rules.mk I have this line...
