    tbh that's pretty low for a 1600. It should be around 1150-1200. Verify your clockspeed is stable with the latest version of afterburner. And you really should run a 3dmark firestrike. Especially that combined test is a good indicator.

    I'd like to thank you for all the people you're…

    You are true to your name, you do provide feedback

    Show some evidence please. This whole topic can go on for ages under the assumption you interpreted the results correctly. 3DMark Firestrike results for starters.

    Using lower voltages reduces the power consumption, at the risk of causing instability. Hence this is a process of lowering the voltage slightly in steps and looking for stability. You can do it in the AI Tweaker, use an offset (negative -) of 25-50mv and continue to raise it until it becomes unstable. But make sure to start to windows and run a CPU load every time.

    Why did you only answer a small section of the comment. Either show some effort of your own or i'm out. I think i've been helpful enough now.

    No that's how adaptive v-sync works. Regular v-sync aims to never show tearing. 58fps on a 60hz panel = tearing. What it does it show 30fps doubled. Meaning it'll show the same image twice in a row. Hence this is why it looks so awful. Adaptive v-sync in the control panel, yes.
  7. Majestic
    This is normal v-sync operation? If it can't hit 60fps, itll go down to 30fps. So if you're rendering 58 fps in a certain section, itll go for 30fps. You need to disable in-game vsync and run variable v-sync if you'd rather opt for a few screentears. Or lower settings.

    I was looking at the PCB of your motherboard and I noticed the holes next to the VRM's. It made me question whether it used the same layout for another board that had the heatsinks. Sure enough the ASUS X370-A has those heatsinks. Maybe you can contact ASUSparts (though i'm unsure where you live) if you can get those heatsinks. Otherwise you can maybe try undervolting the chip a little or add better airflow to the case. What case are you using?

    What do you mean? I was asking if you were sure that this had a significant impact on the amount of stutter? By which I ofc. mean the fan set to 100%...
  10. Majestic
    Well if that reduced the stutter significantly we can somewhat assume an issue with the VRM's. As it can't be background or software related. But you have to be absolutely sure that it significantly impacted the amount of stutter.

    @Legend Scar what section am I looking for? The entry that starts at 2018-01-02 21:46:21.220?

    Samsung CFG70

    Majestic replied to RageAx's topic in Displays

    Is it as accurate as a professional IPS panel? No. Does it have a native 8bit panel with QD that produces vivid colors? Yes. Especially when combined with the much higher native contrast compared to IPS. The lack of backlight bleeding makes everything pop more and have a noticeably less washed out look. Viewing angles have always eluded me for PC monitors. You sit in front of it, it's curved so the horizontal viewing angle is moot. And the vertical viewing angle is not noticeable from a normal user perspective.

    Samsung CFG70

    Majestic replied to RageAx's topic in Displays

    Almost as good in what way? Because it creams IPS panels in terms of contrast. They are also factory calibrated and come with a calibration report.

    But B350 boards are out for Ryzen. Which i was hinting at.
  15. Majestic
    server could be down that has the ISO.
  16. Majestic
    No but look out that the Acer Predator XB271HU has a TN and an IPS variant. If one is much cheaper than the other on the webshops, it's probably the TN part.
  17. Majestic
    Intel path-> coffee lake AMD path -> Ryzen Not kaby lake. @ZM Fong i'm seeing a trend with cheap motherboards and 6C CPU's where the vrm's are yet again not adequate. Don't put a performance chip on the cheapest boards, people will run into issues. Recommend something with a VRM heatsink and >4 phases at the very least.
  18. Majestic
    Lol what, who in their right mind would still recommend someone a kaby lake cpu. 8600K or 1600X...
  19. Majestic
    windows set to balanced?
  20. Majestic
    probably either rounding of CPU-Z, or just a bit of tolerance on the voltage regulator. But you could also try fixing it by undervolting the chip (offset negative). that reduces the power draw and strain on the VRM's. But those are permanent fixes again, first figure out what is wrong. going to bed now, 2AM. Talk in a few hours. EDIT: @Legend Scar did you try those two things?
  21. Majestic
    i'd flip those around. try the 100% cpu fan first. And open the case.
  22. Majestic
    I said I'm fairly certain, I didn't say I was certain. But you need to eliminate this option. The idea behind it is that you see it start to drop sporadically and eventually flatout drop. It looks like a vrm throttle. Does it get worse the longer you play? Again, it could still be something else. But a 1600 on a board with no vrm cooling and no real airflow is asking for trouble regardless. Especially if you're using the standard cooler that came with it, blowing hot air onto the board. Maybe you can use the CPU fan to fix it though, if you have some way to just set it to 100%. The CPU won't heat up as much and you have colder air at higher volume hitting the VRM's next to the CPU. Assuming you use the stockfan. Ofc. you don't want this to be a permanent fix, but you need to eliminate possible issues to figure out what the long-term fix should be. Otherwise, try and close unnecessary background programs (things like onedrive, anti-virus (temporarily!)) etc. To see if it's some programm that is causing issues. Given the data, its not the GPU.
  23. Majestic
    Oh boy. Well I'm fairly certain that's your problem. You need more airflow in order to not overheat the VRM's. Regardless if this is your problem now, this will eventually also start causing issues. Open the case and somehow find something to blow air onto that surface. I'm fairly certain the drops will go away. Goddammit I thought we left this shit behind with the FX CPU's, but apparently the mainboard manuf. are at it again with their inadequate VRM boards. I suspect we're going to have a lot of these topics again if these companies refuse to limit the CPU support to whatever is viable on 4phases without adequate cooling.
  24. Majestic
    No i'm saying open the case and blow a fan directly onto that surface area of the motherboard. And what do you mean, that's your only airflow? One 120mm exhaust fan?
  25. Majestic
    Hm, no VRM heatsink. That could be your issue if you're using a 1600. Do you have some sort of extra fan you can blow on this area?
