I can back it down a bit to around 95ish with some overclocking and undervolting, but at stock it hits 100c and reports throttling almost instantly… it just doesn’t drop the clocks!

1.3-1.4v even though it’s set to 1.25v in bios

Yep, refitted a couple of times. Even tried the washer mod on the retaining bracket!

I had a 5950x in it before and that only hit 75c under full load. Fans are ramping up to full when the load hits and the pump is set to 100% the whole time (though I can’t actually check it because the LFii doesn’t report pump speed). I don’t think it’s the cooling setup, it just looks like the...

I’m setting up my workstation at the moment. Specs are as follows - 12900k MSI Z690 Pro 64Gb Vengeance 5200 (2x 32gb) 2070Super RX850w Arctic LFii420mm No matter what I set the damned thing to it thermal throttles in Cinebench. I don’t want to start loading too much other software on until I’ve...

After a day of tweaking I think I can claim a crown as highest 3900X Multicore with 19566 3900X @4.3 all core, ram 3200 CAS16

Can anyone give a definitive confirmation that the cooling plate on the DR4 Pro isn’t aluminium? I’m presuming it’s nickel plated copper but I haven’t been able to find a definitive answer and I’m hesitant to risk a £75 melting all over my cpu!

I'm on 7C37vH6 Just having a play with things at the moment, I don't think that MSI's stupid Dragon software was helping as that did it's own thing to the clocks every time it loaded so I've uninstalled it. I reset BIOS back to default and it was still only running at 3.8. Then I've loaded...

Latest bios, drivers fully updated, usually on Ryzen Balanced or Rzyen High Performance. It's under a DR4 Pro, temps 35-40 at idle and ~70-75 full load on all cores. Left at stock (and even with PBO turned on) it was only hitting 4.05 across all cores and 4.2-4.3 single core. [edit] and Rzyen...

I've been on a 2700x since just after launch, upgraded to a 3900x last week and I'm pretty impressed so far. I found PBO on my x570 Gaming Edge to be useless though so I've gone with a good old fashioned all core OC - sitting at 4.3 all core (which is higher than it was boosting single core...

She’s 6, probably been tall enough to ride it for a year or so but she’s only just got mature enough for me to trust her on the back!

I can’t remember the early ones all that well, and my card history isn’t nearly as long as my constant PC spending would suggest! Voodoo2 TNT2 GeForce FX5something GeForce 8800GT SLI HD5850 HD6950 GTX960 GTX980 Vega 56 (current)

My daughter’s been pestering me for years ever since my wife got a scooter for commuting, she can finally reach the passenger footrests so I agreed to get her some gear and let her have a go on the back. Suffice to say she loves it and we’ve got a summer of adventures ahead of us now

Haven’t got a clue, given how well it performs I can only assume someone ordered it and changed their mind as there’s definitely nothing wrong with it! Dropped the core voltage to 1.1v, Overclocked core and memory a bit. Did 2 quick runs but it was 2am so I haven’t had chance to perfect it.

Sapphire Pulse. I’m limited to OCUK’s standard 90 day b grade warranty but that’s more than I’d get buying second hand and after I’ve sold my 980 the upgrade will have only cost me £60-80 so I’m happy!

I got my £180 B Grade card yesterday - slapped it in, gave it a quick OC in Wattman and it’s already the 2nd fastest Vega56 on the OCUK Firestrike chart. It’s a good 50% faster than the 980 it replaced and, most importantly, it's meant I’ve now got a Hackintosh as well

That feeling when your £180 "B Grade" card is the second fastest in it's class after 30 mins of tweaking :p Ryzen 2700X @ 4200 (AIO Water, Precision Boost) Vega56@ 1739 / 910 Driver: 26.20.13001.25001 3DMark Score 20309 Graphics 24123 Physics 21666 Combined 8910 Link...

Grabbed myself a NH-L9x65, only a couple of £ more, still tiny and gives me a bit more headroom to put in a beefier cpu in the future :)

Hi! I’m in the process f upgrading my daughters pc at the moment because her current AM1 cpu is, quite frankly, dire. It’s slow and the heatsink fan, although fairly quiet, has a terrible sound profile and whines. I’m switching to an older Ivy Bridge setup with an i3-3220 initially. Fine for...

I need a bit of advice on the best/cheapest way to get my wife a licence please. She passed her CBT and has been riding a 125 scooter for the last year. She's wanting to ride something bigger eventually and we don't want to have to keep forking out for a cbt every 2 years. (We can't afford a...
