thanks for the info will not upgrade then. Seems like a better option to wait untill I upgrade my gpu then i can buy best cpu and cooler at that time.

So currently on a fractal s36 on a 5800x. using pbo and my custom settings when doing cinebench it goes to 80C and clock speed is 4.7ghz. on CPU-z I see a bit lower temps and 4.75-4.8GHz all core test. Will a new cooler like the cougar GT360 that I can get for an amazing price be a good option or stick to my 5800x or should I just leave it and wait till I upgrade my whole rig for now? I'm currently playing on 1440p with a 3080 Ti.

Budget (including currency): R15-17k maybe can stretch to 20k if need be. Country: South Africa Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Will be used to compile heavy codes so cpu might be light to medium load and sometimes file compression so light to heavy use sometimes might run a few virtual machines. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): We already have the following Case Deepcool ck560 Asus ROG strix 550g 32GB Corsair vengance pro sl 32GB DDR4 We have all the SSD,HDD storage sorted as well This pc must be an i7-13700k or non k is also acceptable. I just don't know what cooler I can get that will not thermal throttle it to much. here is a few shops that I usually order stuff from.

Be very careful. You might start smelling burned meat as the hot air will be too hot. In all seriousness if the air is even that hot you have the wrong cooling setup anyway

Thanks for the info. NMice to know that piece of info. I did a test on my old galax HOF 980ti that I installed a kraken g12 with h75 and using it on another pc. PSU used was a connected to a 600w FSP aurum gold 600w unit I also bios limited the card to minimize the boost algorithm so when gaming goes straight to max boost clock. I also raised the power limit of the card. I did a furmark stress test to see what will happened and looked atg gpu-z and the card was using 400w through only 2 8-pin connectors so 1 connector was using almost 200-220w way out of spec. pc didn't crash but I also didn't run it for long frearing that I might blow out the cabler

When doing cinebench r23 according to msi afterburner 130-140w max and according to ryzen master about 110-120w max. Temps is fine under 80C. When playing games will use less that that.

Wont say wattage wise it's to much for the psu but cable wise to much. I think the psu only allows for a certain amount per cable to be drawn to what is connected to the cable. I don't know not an expert on this hence the reason for asking here. I can set 114% in MSI afterburner. I will be looking at a new psu anyway. For now will run 100% power limit only until I get new psu

Why. It's easy to understand look at the red linesfrom my first picture. from right to left. the first 8 pin cable goes to 8 pin plug nr1. second 8 pin cable goes to 8-pion plug 2 and 3 of the card.

No. I'm running all 3 with 2 cables so 1 is a split cable. Anyway I tested last night after I uninstalled my drivers using DDU in safe mode and then running everything stock settings with 100% power limit. The only thing I changed was the fan curve and everything was 100% stable. Played cyberpunk on ultra graphics and ultra RTX, Days gone, Modern warfare multiplayer and Assetto Corsa Competizione and everything worked no freezes stutter etc. All was 100% smooth. I will run it as is for a few days then try just upping the power limit to 114% and see how it goes

I did a driver uninstall using DDU in safe mode and in msi after burner i clicked on oc scan and then clicked on revert button. Remember the oc scan is now saved in drivers not oc software. I still have to test other games but going by last night everything was working fine when playing modern warfare and warzone for a few hours. I've got a racing rig that i build with a separate screen 1080p 60hz connected to my pc. 2 nights ago I was playing assetto corsa competizione and had a few minor stutters like robot like sound like stutter indicating me my gpu was clocking to high for the voltage will have to test again with drivers now reinstalled. Thanks for the info so far. yes I'm also worried cause 1 cable is carrying way above 150w now. I think in cyberpunk saw 8-pin 1 and 2 draw 130-150w each that's close to 300w from one cable.

Care to explain please. I forgot to mention I did a DDU last night in safe mode. Didn't play anything other than COD last night and nothing happened. no artifacts crashes etc etc. One can't really say it's solved by only testing one game. I forgot to say efore I removed drivers using ddu I used msi afterburner scanning tool. I know it's been changed so that the driver will save the settings so even uninstalling MSI afterburner will not help. I would have to uninstall drivers so maybe the voltage curve got changed to unstable levels and clock speed was to high for the voltage and show artifacts etc etc. The reason for me thinking it's 8-pin cable or psu related is that I can't even overclock the card but yet again I'm already power limited on stock settings. but before I go out and buy anything or heck even RMA the card want to figure out if I can do other tests to see if I can reproduce the issue. The problem with msi kombustor is that it puts load on the card but the clock speed is only at 1700mhz and my problem might be related to clock speed during gaming might be to high. Someone on another forum suggested I swap to the quiet bios that allows less board power to test and see if my clock speeds or just lowering the clock speeds by 50mhz and see if problem still exist. I've updated my original post with the correct gpu-z screenshot.

Hi there. Sorry if this is in the wrong section So I bought an RTX 3080 ti gamerock currently having some issues that I think is related to Power supply. My PSU is a corsair rm750x and I'm not bothered that it's not enough wattage but the gpu takes 3x 8pin and psu has 2x pci-e power cables with 8 total 8 pin connectors. I have the gpu connected as in the picture below. The other night I had a app lock when playing doom. Looking at event viewer it was a driver crash. Then the other day when playing warzone I had artifacts will also post a picture that's similar than what I experienced in warzone but last night was playing warzone and mw multiplayer and everything was fine. Look at the following image during MSI kombustor gpu-z is showing that 8-pin # 1 is drawing lower loads than the other 2 8-pins but it's the one that the one daisy chained from the middle 8-pin. So I think I need to upgrade to a psu that has 3 separate 8 pins going from psu to each power connector for stability and to not let the cable get out of spec and allow for more even power draw on the connectors. rest of specs is 32gb 3600mhz g-skill ripjaw v b550 steel legend ryzen 5800x WD black 1tb + 2tb. 3x ssd and 1 x nvme 256GB pg279q 2560x1440 @ 144hz the issue

I've also now installed the old ssd as secondary drive and it seems like it's behaving normally but would have to connect it for longer. Only had it for like 10-15min connected so not 100% sure. Sequential speed is 430-500MB/s read and 430-500MB/s write so far so maybe it's my os that's corrupt.

Thanks for the reply. I will edit my post forgot I already checked and tried both. Health seems good as it's a new ssd also my old one was showing 100% health

Hi there. TLDR. SSD speed is fine on initial boot and after +-30min - 1hr ssd is slow First my specs i7-4790k asus vii ranger 600w FSP 80+ gold psu RX 560D XFX Samsung 860 evo 250GB 2TB WD blue HDD Windows 10 PRO with latest version as of 2021/04/21 Testing software is AS SSD I have this weird issue that when I boot my pc SSD is okish with 500-520+MB/s read and 470-480MB/s write but as I use my pc during the day it goes down to 345-350MB/s and even after closing all my apps it still only 345-350MB/s. After a reboot everything back to normal for about 30 min to 1 hour. So what could be the issue this issue? I thought my old samsung 840 evo 120GB was faulty as it was only getting 120MB/s write after a while so the new one is doing better but still why is it dropping speeds. Funny thing is the 4k speeds is 33.66MB/s read and 91.65MB/s when I tested it. Stuff I tried was 1. install latest chipset and sata drivers. 2. Make sure iwndows is up to date 3. Align my partition. (software did say it's not aligned but did not solve issue) 4. check cpu temps and it's fine under 70C average during normal use. 5. Trim SSD 6. Checked health via Samsung magician and everything is 100% 7. Did secure erase on my 840 evo I can still test the ssd in another system to see if performance getting worse over time and for now I think I should connect the 840 evo 120GB to another system to see if performance degrades over time but sure it won't.
