    yes it does, the stress test too even launching some games is enough to cause the issue to happen.
     
    Thank you i will definetly keep this post updated and will tag you for more.

    He hasn't tried underclocking, would you have any resource to be able to do so easily just to test this out?
     
    possibly will try to do some GPU swap if he has one, will keep the post updated if that happens.
     
    THANK YOU for answering!

    Looks like adjusting the timings did the trick. I left machine on all night with GTA V in the background and didn't have a crash once. Doing some tweaking right now to see how much speed I can get out of it. Currently at 4200 with a bit of overvolting and system is quite stable.
     
    Thanks all for the assistance. Can't believe I overlooked the timings being the problem.

    From the thumbnail I thought it was about the whole LGA1700 contact frame thing. Nope, it wasn't.

    Gazereths reacted to Blademaster91 in A case against clickbait titles that linus uses   
    There is a point that clickbait becomes so misleading that you don't know what the heck a video is even about, and I think comparisons with other channels is fine, there are other channels that don't clickbait as much and their videos get more views, clickbaiting to the point of not even being to tell what a video is about or not being able to find a video later on is ridiculous and really annoying.
    I got tired of the LTT clickbait years ago and I don't even watch most of their videos, people have been complaining about it for a while, but LTT and their fans always use the but they have to make money excuse, even though there are other channels that don't clickbait and are successful.

    This.
     
    There are videos that I would have watched, had I known WTF they were about based on the title and thumbnail.
     
    I'm not interested in weeding through the clickbait to find the videos on the topics that I care about. So I don't.

    Yeah well I'm providing enough. He can supply his own damn game storage lol.
     
    Booting from NVME is legues ahead of SATA. I know, first world problems right, but it's so snappy and quick, I couldn't go back to SATA or god forbid spinning rust. Even PCIe 4.0 to 3.0 feels lethargic.

    Yeah I've done the last 2 or 3 upgrades with him, tbh I think he can do it himself now but he still likes me to be there just in case.
     
    My older (40yr old plus) cousin upgraded and I had to fix it for him.......He tried plugging the 8 pin CPU into his brand new 3080ti.......This was during the GPU shortage as well, paid £1400+ for the 3808ti and nearly fried it lmao.

    Definitely build it with him if you can. Especially if you want him to be confident upgrading it in the future.

    It will be parts, then building into his current case later. Got him a Corsair 4000D airflow case and RGB fans etc at Xmas last year.
    I have the b450 TUF mATX or a Tomahawk II max ATX at hand....Bios upgrades aren't really an issue tbh.....as for overclocking, probably wont happen for the single digit increases.

    If you dont have a b450 already get em a decent one known to accept even a 5950x :p. The b450 tomahawk and mortar are under 100 and do that

    Use the RAM you have on hand, and see if you can OC it to 3200+ on this platform. I assume that the last time you tried OCing it was on an older AMD platform. If not, 3000 is still fine. It'll be a good upgrade over his current build either way.

    I'd leave the RAM as is, 32GB is nice and if running at 3000MHz, more than adequate.
     
    Maybe look into more SSD space too, SATA or NVMe doesn't matter. How are his peripherals?  Headset, speakers, keyboard, mouse, etc?

    Well tbh the last time I oc'd that ram it was in a 4x16gb config, so maybe 2x16 will be more fogiving, might get it to 3200mhz. Will have  a play (though OCing ram is my least favourite thing to do lol)
     
    Thanks for the reply 🙂
    Yeah I have the 3600 already, it was a bargain find a few months back as open box.

    So I'm planning for my Nephew's 18th birthday present, I've been steadily upgrading him since he was about 10-11 years old (started with a pentium 3258 / HD 7870)
     
    He's currently stuck at the end of the LGA1150 line i7 4790 (non K) and a rx580. Not worth the K series chips as the mobo required would be expensive and pointeless.
     
    Planning on giving him a 3060ti and a ryzen 3600 on a decent b450 board so he still has some upgrade options. Plus new PSU and NvME ssd etc.
     
    Have 32GB of 2666 DDR4 on hand that has been easily OC'd to 3000 in the past (and is white so will blend with my planned buiild well)....worth getting him a new 16GB kit of 3600 DDR4? Not spending the cash to get 32GB of new ram.
     
    This will be the last upgrade I do for him as a gift.....He'll probably be earning enough soon to get his own stuff.
     
    Thoughts?

    3000MHz on a 3600 isn't bad. It would most definitely get him up and running. You would squeeze out like an additional 10-20 fps (maybe) upgrading to 3600MHz on a 3600. 

    Additionally, the build you have planned sounds like it would be leagues above what he has. Even with 3000MHz RAM.

    2666 might a bit too slow but it could be fine and 32gb might be more handy id say use the one on hand

    Well I get 120fps in Cyberpunk 2077 with a Pentium III and an ATI Rage 128........So I see no need to upgrade 😛
     
    Being serious though......There are always diminishing returns for anything, the more you spend the advantages become less and less.  I recently upgraded to a 3080 from a 3060ti:
     
    Am I getting better performance? Yes.
     
    Am I enjoying my gaming nights more? Hmmmm, maybe???
     
    Was it worth the £670 I spent on the 3080? Probably not 😞
