Madison reveals experiences working at LMG
wolfsbane3083 replied to baK1's topic in General Discussion
Looks like LMG are actively deleting any comments made on their "apology" video about Madison.... -
Did anyone turn off his AdBlocker after the Linus PiracyGate
wolfsbane3083 replied to starcar's topic in General Discussion
Honestly, In my case, as soon as a people started baking ads into their videos that was enough. I'm not sitting through Pre/Mid/Post Youtube ads on top of your Pre/Post inbuilt sponsors that make the ads as long if not longer than the video. In my opinion if you're in Youtube just for the money it goes against the spirit of what it was for in the first place. It was for people to upload silly video and a get a small kickback for doing so. It was never meant for people to be able to earn a living, let alone run a business through. -
Hi, Sorry for the late reply. I could only recommend distilled water as tap water will still have minerals which could lead to corrosion or limescale. Although a flush with boiling tap water followed with a flush with distilled water may help remove any build up in the radiator with minimal risk of problems.
-
It's just a bit of oxidation formed from water droplets left in the radiator after leak testing in the factory. Should cause no problems after a flush and is just cosmetic. If it bothers you then the mayhems blitz cleaning kit would more than likely clean it up.

Highly recommend SYY-157, only stuff so far that's managed to tame my 3090 long term. MX-2/4 both ended up getting pumped out over a couple of weeks.

What did you pay for your RTX 30X0?
wolfsbane3083 replied to TheeShadowStorm's topic in Graphics Cards

I would suspect either some kind of scaling issue or chroma sub-sampling. Have a poke around your monitor/gpu cotnrol panel and play with some settings, you can always restore defaults if it doesn't work. Some settings to look out for are: Monitor Pixel scaling - This should be 1:1 or Just scan (May be called something else) GPU Control Panel Output colour format - RGB preferably or YCBCR 444 if RGB isn't there Scaling - By Aspect Ratio with scaling controlled by your display Resolution - Check this is set to PC - 3840x2160, Nvidia cards have a tendency to set this to TV settings for 4k and it can mess things up

I have a 32G kit with my 5950x that runs at 3600Mhz with 18-19-19-19-39 XMP timings, manually tweaking the timings gets me 16-19-13-12-30 stable. I reverted back to XMP because I couldn't be arsed re-doing the timings after endless bios updates on my board. The faster timings made absolutely no discernible different in day-day use. Some benchmarks were a few percent lower but you don't play benchmarks

Show off your old and retro computer parts
wolfsbane3083 replied to TheTechnerd's topic in General Discussion
Hehe don't worry about the hardware, the case is full open and doesn't even have any fans in atm. Purely just testing it/getting everything set up. Have a cheapo 4u rackmount case, some 60mm chipset fans and other bits and bobs coming to turn it into a poor mans 8 bay NAS machine. The chipset cooler on this board is honking huge too this board was nuts back in the day. -
Show off your old and retro computer parts
wolfsbane3083 replied to TheTechnerd's topic in General Discussion
Had to put it that was to pull some air through the chipset cooler, MCP was hitting 90c Lost the little fan for it years ago. -
Show off your old and retro computer parts
wolfsbane3083 replied to TheTechnerd's topic in General Discussion
Found this old beast in storage: Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz 8GB DDR2 800 Zotac 9800 GT (Used to be SLI but the fan on the second card died) Dusting it off and I'm going to put it in a rackmount case as a NAS for a few 8TB Seagate drives I snagged off Amazon for £117 each -
Soft tubing on hardline fittings
wolfsbane3083 replied to Tactics's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
You'd have to get new fittings unfortunately. Hard tubing fittings are designed to compress the flat end of the tube into the fitting where-as soft tubing fittings are designed to compress the tube onto a barb. If you tried soft tubing in your current fittings they would pop out with the pressure of the loop. -
1.475V for Ryzen 5 3600?
wolfsbane3083 replied to lafrente's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Good news! Your voltages are perfectly fine, this is how XFR works on Zen 2. High voltages and clocks during quick/light tasks and lower voltages and clocks during extended/heavy tasks. As long as your per core voltages drop below 1.325v under a sustained heavy load like cinebenche your're golden. -
Processor stuck to heatsink
wolfsbane3083 replied to Robbinho's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Take a hairy dryer too it and warm it up a bit, then try twisting again. -
Is there an option for Normal when you click the drop-down for voltages for CPU and SOC? If so try that, if not try CPU on Auto and SOC at 1.05 and gradually increase to 1.15 to see if it helps improve the situation. Mine used to be a bit finicky too back on release but Gigabyte solved it. Probably just Asus being a bit lazy with the QVL testing for memory on the 3xxx series.

I would go for the Aorus Elite or the Pro if you can find a deal on it. The Pro has a few QoL features such as more fan headers, more expansion slots, dual bios, better VRM cooling (especially if you're looking to upgrade in the future). The Elite/Pro also has Intel Lan whereas the Asus has Realtek.

My ram was struggling to run at X.M.P settings on the earlier bios'. Kept having audio hangs and screen freezes which disappeared when X.M.P was turned off. The latest bios fixed this for me.

I have the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro and each bios update so far has brought better stability (especially ram stability), more reasonable voltages, higher turbo speeds and slightly improved performance (from 4900 points to 5020 points in Cinebench R20) also 1% and 0.1% lows appear to be improved too.

ram White dusty stuff on old unused ram
wolfsbane3083 replied to MakkyHi's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Probably just some left over solder flux from manufacturing. -
My 3800x gets similar temps with everything on Auto under a 360/280 rad. Applying a -0.075 offset on the vcor reduced my load temps under CBR20 to 70c and game temps to 57c.

Ryzen 3600 + B350 stuttering
wolfsbane3083 replied to midninBR's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I had exactly the same issue with my 3800x/X570 Aorus Pro. For me the issue was the 1903 feature pack for Windows 10. Switching to 1809 solved the problem for me. Oddly enough updating to 1903 after a full setup and driver install on an 1809 iso also worked. -
I was thinking this as well, upping the Ram voltage seems to make the occurrences less common but they still happen randomly, looks like I'll have to have a chat with Corsair.

Both the Ram and the SSDs where bought new with the PC last month I have the bios updated to the latest version and a fresh install of windows. I've reset the bios and I'm now trying everything on Auto with just X.M.P enabled and the issue is still happening sporadically.
