    Tuning 7800x3D for optimal performance

    In the MSI Bios press F7 to get the Advanced mode ( BIOS is set to EZ mode by default ). Then click on the Overclocking settings tab on the left ; from there click the Advanced CPU configuration, then select AMD Overclocking and then Precision Boost Overdrive - this is set to Auto by default but...

    Think he means the weapon, not the game.

    Upgrading 4090 to 5090 - minimising upgrade cost.

    I genuinely believe the 5090 will be at least that price ...

    Any improvement on temps ?

    New PC build just dead

    Even re-adjusting the fans you'll probably find temps remain high. I'm running with 9 fans ( 3 intake on bottom and side, 3 exhausting through the AIO radiator at the top ) and I consistently get 45 degrees with a light load. Thought about re-pasting my CPU ( using a plastic AM5 guard and...

    Elden Ring

    Yeah, early on can be tough getting smithing stones. But, a lot of monsters can drop them, and later on if you find some you can use them to unlock more items for purchase at the round table including various tiers of smithings stones.

    Helldivers 2

    Not for me ... no connection issues or drops.

    Helldivers 2

    Same here ; picked this game up yesterday even though I don't normally play shooters. Was fun, even playing with randos, but so easy to get swarmed by the bugs in a less than full group.

    Good MB & RAM for 7800X3D?

    What are your idle temps with the new build ? Built mine yesterday, and all went well ... until my Windows 11 Pro digital license wouldn't reactivate and "disappeared" from my MS account. MS support were useless, so bought a cheap key and cancelled Office365 sub and Game Pass in protest lol ...

    Microsoft limits Xbox Game Pass subscription extensions in certain countries

    36 months duration is the max you can stack .... anywhere in the world. Perhaps he means he has extra vouchers that he hasn't cashed in yet that would give him another year when he uses them.

    Which X670E motherboard to pair with a 7800X3D ?

    Thanks all for the advice. In the end I went with a MSI MPG X670E Carbon Wifi. Several of the Asus boards matched my needs on paper, but I just didn't want to take a risk with the Intel 1225-V NIC.

    Elden Ring

    The remembrance tokens are basically just a large "soul" item.You can use them to level up at a grace site when you rest ( they can give 50K+ souls - but I wouldn't recommend using them for that purpose ) or trade them in with one of the crone vendors in the roundtable. She will offer you two...

    New PC build just dead

    Should be fine, then. As you say, must be a BIOS issue or maybe the headers are faulty ( hopefully not ).

    New PC build just dead

    I'm assuming those cables are for your front panel/chassis USB ports ? Is it an older case with 3.0 or 3.1 gen ports ? That shouldn't be an issue ... normally.

    New PC build just dead

    From looking at your mobo manual there are 4 LEDS on the top right for checking the CPU, DRAM etc during boot process. None of them light at all, even briefly ? Also, have you tried with just one RAM module. Shouldn't be that, but memory can do funny things sometimes ... I'd try reseating the 24...

    New PC build just dead

    Are you able to remove panels from the case to see if the PSU fan is turning when power is switched on ? More likely the mobo is DOA, however.

    Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

    Yup, prices are good right now ... with some fantastic "flash" sales if you keep an eye out eg. nabbed an MSI X670E Carbon Wifi today for £309 ( normally £429 ) and a 7800X3D for £329.

    Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

    Just joined the 7800X3D club ... will install it and new mobo this weekend. Coming from AM4/5800X3D myself, so not expecting massive gains, but it will make upgrading to Zen 5 in a year or so a fairly simple process.

    Which X670E motherboard to pair with a 7800X3D ?

    I was looking at purchasing an Asus STRIX X670E-E motherboard this afternoon ( to pair with a 7800X3D, 32GB RAM and 4090 FE ), but got "cold feet" after reading about the ethernet issues with the Intel 1225-V chipset ( which is used in the majority, if not all, their AM5 boards ). Is this an...
