    X570 and B550 boards that have a 2nd PCIe slot controlled by the CPU?

    There's a known issue with the capture card where the audio goes out of sync when it's placed in any PCIe slot that uses the motherboards chipset. Seems to be a pretty common problem for capture cards from what i can tell. So my friend will have to use the 2nd PCIe x16 slot with it running in a...

    Yeah tried that and everything else you can imagine but it still BSoD's.

    X570 and B550 boards that have a 2nd PCIe slot controlled by the CPU?

    Anyone? I know the Asrock B550 Steel Legend can run two PCIe slots off the CPU at x16 (for GPU) and x4 (for second slot). The problem is that my friend already has this board but all it does is constantly BSoD. A possible alternative is the Asus ROG STRIX B550-E Gaming. It can run two PCIe...

    Cheapest possible PSU for a higher-midrange GPU?

    I'm looking for a PSU that needs to be either fully or partially modular and able to power: Ryzen 5600X. 16GB RAM. Some LED case fans and lighting strips but nothing insane. A GPU like the upcoming RTX 3060Ti or RX 6700. Something roughly along those lines. And the cheaper the PSU the better...

    X570 and B550 boards that have a 2nd PCIe slot controlled by the CPU?

    A friend of mine needs this as a requirement for a PCIe capture card. So does anyone know of any X570/B550 boards that have a second PCIe slot that's at least x4 and has its lanes connected directly to the CPU? (in this case a Ryzen 3600). Basically a second PCIe slot that is NOT controlled by...

    Good but cheap B550 boards for Ryzen 5600X?

    After giving it some more thought and considering it's looking like Zen 4 will need a new socket, that will mean these AM4 socket boards basically have no future upgrade potential, so might as well just get a proper cheap board. There might a Zen 3+ refresh later in 2021 but i'm sure that wont...

    Good but cheap B550 boards for Ryzen 5600X?

    Requirements are: Under £150, with at least one NVMe slot and Ryzen 5xxx support. But do any B550 boards even work out of the box with the new 5xxx CPU's? Or do they all require BIOS updates? If the BIOS needs updating then obviously my only options are boards with the ability to update the...

    *** AMD ThreadRipper ***

    I installed the latest drivers from the motherboard makers site and then installed these AMD TRX40 chipset drivers (with my motherboard Asus never had those chipset drivers on their site anyway). That's all i did and my 3960X works fine, not had any issues and i've had it around 50 days now. If...

    *** AMD ThreadRipper ***

    I totally agree, but MS fired most of the Windows team 4 - 5 years ago lol. Now they mainly rely on the Windows Insider Program to automate testing by using their actual customers as free beta testers. But that can't replace the people who were fired, so that's why you see all these botched...

    *** AMD ThreadRipper ***

    If anyone has or is getting the 64 core 3990X and you're using Windows, then you should really consider using 'Windows 10 Pro for Workstation', or Windows 10 Enterprise. Win 10 Home doesn't support more than 64 threads, and Win 10 Pro supports up to 128 threads, but it's performance is either...

    Is there anything that helps prevent gunk build-up in a water block?

    @Mcnumpty2323 That looks nice and convenient, it's a shame i can't fit something like that but the T piece you mentioned is exactly what i need! I'll probably fit a ball valve to it. Thanks for the help :)

    Is there anything that helps prevent gunk build-up in a water block?

    I have silver in my reservoir already, so guess i'll just stick with that and see how it goes. The main thing is that if there's a problem it's quite an effort to change the water because i don't have any way to drain it without taking tubing apart. I need a release valve or something. I have a...

    *** AMD ThreadRipper ***

    Yeah Corsair can seriously F off with that. You got lucky in the silicon lottery because even cheap B-die is still better. DRAM calculator also says "not supported" when i select 3600 for Micron D-die so i'm not even going to try CL16 at 3600 because i can't see it ever working now. I'll...

    *** AMD ThreadRipper ***

    @tommoT.Striker You also have CMW32GX4M2C3200C16 so i assumed the dies would naturally be the same. I checked the boxes too and it's definitely that model. Seems like Corsair have changed the memory dies but kept the same model number, which is really dodgy...

    *** AMD ThreadRipper ***

    @tommoT.Striker Cheers! :) Very much appreciated. So you used the Samsung B-die setting in the calculator even though this memory is Micron D-die, i didn't know you could do that. I'll try those setting in a few days when i have time to properly memtest/bench them.

    *** AMD ThreadRipper ***

    @tommoT.Striker Ohh so that's what V1/V2 profiles do in Calculator, because i tried V1 before for 3400 and had no issues. And if 1.43v can only just get stability then maybe 16-20-20-42 isn't possible without too much voltage... And i'll be running 24/7 so i'm not going higher lol. Did you tweak...

    Is there anything that helps prevent gunk build-up in a water block?

    No matter what i try, over time i always get a build up of gunk in whatever CPU block i'm using. It's always been worse whenever i've used a premixed coolant. So this time i'm just using clear distilled water (Mayhems Ultra Pure H20), but i recently came across this video where you'll see at...

    Is the RAM model number CMW32GX4M2C3200C16? Then yeah it's probably the best combination if you don't want to spend loads on RAM or need a specific feature on another motherboard. And if you don't plan to mess around much then that RAM will easily do 3400mhz with its advertised 16-18-18-36...

    *** AMD ThreadRipper ***

    Nice :cool: I've got the same CMW32GX4M2C3200C16. I'm also on the same BIOS so i'll try that speed/timings tonight. I'd be very happy with CL16 @ 3600 with this RAM! Have you tried a memtest86 run? I always run it over night for hours to confirm it's 100% stable as it's the only truly reliable...
