Well if rumors are true, amd will provide us with 12c CPU that could clock to 5GHz. So single core performance about the same as Intel and huge multicore performance, for less than half of Intel's price right now. And about Navi ... they said they won't be making GPU with 2 GPU chips, so it's not 2x Vega56 on same PCB, but it will be one strong GPU. Again this could bring us to RX 2070/GTX 1080 performance for much lower price than what's Nvidia offering. So I can see reason, why there is hype about that.

250$ for GTX 1080/RX2070 performance? That seems too good to be true. Still hoping it is true, and that miners won't buy all GPU stock again.

I would prefer 8c/16t CPU with 5Ghz boost instead of 12c or even 16c.

5GHz on all cores? I will be surprised if those chips can handle 4,7GHz on all cores. Not that I don't like AMD, but jumping from 4GHz on all cores to 5GHz seems kinda hard even if they went with 7nm instead of 12/14.

Just an update ... got new PSU today and it didn't help me with my problem. I also plugged PSU outside of my case to isolate where that sound is coming from, and it seems like it coming from VRM near CPU. Just ordered Z370 EVGA mATX board. If that won't fix my problem, I don't know what will. Will have to wait around 10 days for new motherboard to arrive and test it.

I'm betting on brain chips. Instead of regular phone, they will just insert it in your brain and track even your thoughts. Maybe that won't come so soon, but somehow I think it will exist in the future

I did hear about that burn it process and already tried it with running aida64 for a whole week when I was out of town. Did nothing else except wast electricity. So it seems like I will just have to start swapping my components and hope it won't cost me much before I get decent silent build.

I did try different CPU speed. Came from 5GHz all the way down to under clocking it to 3,7GHz. Always the same story, regardless of frequency and Voltage set for CPU. I'm well aware of PSU and GPU coil whine, since I had it with my setup before. So I was using same PSU like I'm using now (Corsair RM650x) with GTX 1070 FE. That card was whining as soon as it got over 20% GPU load. But I was able to hear whining coming from GPU and PSU. Later then I switched to EVGA GTX 1070 FTW GPU and there was no more coil whine. Later I switched CPU, motherboard and RAM, and now I can hear coil whine, but this time ot's not GPU, that's for sure. I'm also wondering if it's the problem with combinations ... that's why I just ordered some 550W PSU from be Quiet, where I also have an option if I want to use 1 rail or 4 rails set up. I wonder if that could also affect coil whine. Somehow I think I will have to swap motherboard in the end, but for now I will test new PSU, since it's much easier to swap PSU, than motherboard. You are right abut coil whine being annoying ... I was also thinking about possibility to somehow move my PC in room under mine, but I would have to make pretty big hole in the wall to get 2x display port cable + 1 HDMI + 1x USB. So I guess I will have to swap either PSU or motherboard. Just hoping that it won't be cost a lot in the end.

You mean those VRMs that are on motherboard? I hope CPU itself can't whine

I'm wondering if there is any way for motherboard to produce coil whine. I already tried removing my GPU from the system and running with iGPU, and coil whine is still there. Already swapped RAM, but I was pretty sure that RAM can't be making coil whine. I also unplugged all my system fans and coil whine was still there. So now there is only motherboard or PSU option ... I noticed that coil whine becomes more audible when making speedtest, but it's hardly noticeable when doing cinebench or any other stress test. If it would be related to power consumption I think running GPU benchmark would make my system coil whine, but it doesn't. It seems more like it's related to motherboard, but I'm not exactly sure if motherboard could be the cause for coil whine. Then again, I had this same PSU with my previous build, and there was no coil whine problem before. Any idea if motherboards could be making coil whine, and which part exactly could it be?

I do understand it got better, but for Intel there is Tjunction around 100°C. Was hoping there is some info like this for Snapdragon 845 also.

I noticed that my oneplus 6 gets very hot while playing games. I tested it with antutu to monitor cpu temperature, and it gets up to 70°C. What is max safe temperature for Snapdragon 845? Can't find that info anywhere ...

Thanks for your interest in my post. I do have some old bios from 26th April of this year. Since then, 3 new BIOS versions were released, but I just didn't feel like updating it again and going trough all my settings once more. Every time I update my BIOS I have to spend like an hour, putting all settings back to the way I want them. For some reason backing settings up, and trying to load them back in after BIOS update, just doesn't work. So I have to set everything manually. I wonder if we need new BIOS release for that L1TF vulnerability ... that's why I will wait few more days, to see if any motherboard partners will be releasing new BIOS versions. If not, I will update my BIOS to version from 13th July of this year.

So today we got news about another vulnerability for Intel CPUs, but Microsoft already released patch to fix this: https://support.microsoft.com/sl-si/help/4343909/windows-10-update-kb4343909 Now I did install this update, and then found some website with instructions, how to check if you are vulnerable to L1TF: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-check-if-your-pc-still-vulnerable-meltdown-and-spectre-exploits Now my result is something like this: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-SpeculationControlSettings For more information about the output below, please refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/4074629 Speculation control settings for CVE-2017-5715 [branch target injection] Hardware support for branch target injection mitigation is present: True Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is present: True Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is enabled: True Speculation control settings for CVE-2017-5754 [rogue data cache load] Hardware requires kernel VA shadowing: True Windows OS support for kernel VA shadow is present: True Windows OS support for kernel VA shadow is enabled: True Windows OS support for PCID performance optimization is enabled: True [not required for security] Speculation control settings for CVE-2018-3639 [speculative store bypass] Hardware is vulnerable to speculative store bypass: True Hardware support for speculative store bypass disable is present: False Windows OS support for speculative store bypass disable is present: True Windows OS support for speculative store bypass disable is enabled system-wide: False Speculation control settings for CVE-2018-3620 [L1 terminal fault] Hardware is vulnerable to L1 terminal fault: True Windows OS support for L1 terminal fault mitigation is present: True Windows OS support for L1 terminal fault mitigation is enabled: True BTIHardwarePresent : True BTIWindowsSupportPresent : True BTIWindowsSupportEnabled : True BTIDisabledBySystemPolicy : False BTIDisabledByNoHardwareSupport : False KVAShadowRequired : True KVAShadowWindowsSupportPresent : True KVAShadowWindowsSupportEnabled : True KVAShadowPcidEnabled : True SSBDWindowsSupportPresent : True SSBDHardwareVulnerable : True SSBDHardwarePresent : False SSBDWindowsSupportEnabledSystemWide : False L1TFHardwareVulnerable : True L1TFWindowsSupportPresent : True L1TFWindowsSupportEnabled : True L1TFInvalidPteBit : 45 L1DFlushSupported : False PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Also picture: And now I'm a bit confused, what does that mean. Hardware support for branch target injection mitigation is present: True Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is present: True Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is enabled: True Does that mean I'm safe against those attacks or not? I know that chances of being victim from attack like this is very unlikely, but I just want to know where I'm at.

No, I'm still waiting for Hyundai to release maybe even bigger phone holder with Type-C … I will probbably buy new phone soon anyway, and it will be ven bigger than this one, so it won't fir in that holder at all. I'm just using magnet phone holder right now.

Doesn't that CPU have soldered IHS to it's core?

Yeah it says in my signature … GTX 1070.

If your motherboard have Thunderbolt, I wold consider using that, to put PC in another room. That way, you get rid of all the noise

If you had 67°C max temp before, it makes me wonder why did you decide to change thermal paste in the first place. As long as your GPU is under 85°C at all times, you are totally safe. Mine is always stuck on 82°C while gaming, and I have yet to see some problems.

Oh yeah that makes more sense now … I do see around 28MB/s speed most of the time. That will have to do for 4K video streaming

I'm more interested in your load temps. It could be limited because TIM inside your CPU … that's usually problem with Intel CPUs.

I recently bought new RT-AC1200G+ router from ASUS, which advertise combined speed of 2,4GHz and 5GHz to be 1200Mbps. Since Galaxy A8 2018 can only use one frequency at the same time, it means it should be limited to only 5GHz, which is around 870Mbps on this router. But I did few tests, and I can't get it to work on anything higher than 230Mbps on my local network. Does anyone know what's bottlenecking me? Test was done with some android app that can measure connection between host (my PC) and my mobile phone. Everything is connected with Cat 6A cables and it does have 1Gbps on my PC. Any idea why I can't get it over 230Mbps? Could it be my phone? Then again I can't find any info about wifi max speed on this phone … Only that it supports AC.

Yeah that seems to work just fine. And all it took was just one click Thanks for help mate.

What about that AP mode? Media Bridge requires two of those same routers, so that's out of the question.

No there isn't any reason for devices to be in different segment. The only concern I have is about ability to access to router2. I had configuration similar to this one, but with disabled DHCP on router2. But the problem was, once I did that, I wasn't able to connect to router2 anymore. And every time I had to change some settings (like changing wifi password) I had to reset router2 to default settings, so I could access it. Or is there a way to have all devices from router1 and router2 in same IP range, and still be able to access router1 and router2 from my web browser?
