  1. you are unlikely to upgrade to anything on rocket lake if you have a 10400F. Also, B560 allows for memory overclocking - the rated speed on the processor is just that, a rated speed. My 8700k is also rated for 2666 but it will take 4000mhz dimms without issue.
  2. b560 is cheap and gets you XMP on your memory. No need to go for a pricey Z series board on an non K sku
  3. no no not at all. Even with a 3070 the 10400/3600 will be plenty. You'll only experience severe bottlenecking with a 3080 and above class GPU. Given the budget, you are most likely going to be choosing between a 5600x/3060 build or a 3600/3070 build. If this is the case, I recommend the latter. I brought up intel because a 10400F with a compatible motherboard will be less expensive than a 3600 with a B450/B500 board.
  4. I doubt you'd see the performance bump going from 3600/10400F to 5600X unless you're doing other cpu bound tasks in your spare time. For gaming only, 10400f - and see if you can squeeze in a 3070 from the money you save.
  5. I think it would depend on the rest of your system - if that $80 can go towards getting a better gpu or more ram or more storage or something that would benefit you in some other situation, it might be a tough choice. Yes, the 5600X is easily one of the best CPUs for gaming, but unless you're pairing it with a beefy gpu at a lower resolution or playing super CPU demanding games, you won't get the full performance out of it. Speaking of the 3600, if you are considering a 3600 in the current market, I suggest you look at a 10400F instead, paired with a cheapo B560 motherboard (since you're unlikely to upgrade to Rocket Lake). Until a $200 Zen 3 part surfaces the 10400F is the best value you can get right now since it's almost always under $150 ($130 at micro center, plus $20 off with a mobo, what a catch!) Ultimately it's up to you. I might get some flak for suggesting intel when zen 3 is simply so damn good, but honestly if you can save some money and net a better gpu, I'd say that's absolutely worthwhile.
  6. All I see in the advanced viewer is that it has been disabled and in the web viewer it's a little red dead face. Is there some sort of additional configuration I need to do to get folding on the iGPU? Gonna try and do what I can with a GT730 and integrated graphics
  7. I still find it shocking that a $150 mobo from 2015 has usb-c, 10gbps usb 3, thunderbolt support, pcie switches, and other features we now associate with high end boards haha. I think most motherboards should have a thermal sensor header though?
  8. it's my open air bench that I used to test gpus and ram with, but now with it doing nothing I've offloaded a lot of compute I used to do on my personal system to it! This motherboard has a spot for a thermal probe so I just set the fans to be controlled by the temp of the probe as opposed to cpu or pch
  9. Hopefully the picture shows up! I know on my cards there is a two pin temperature sensor output right next to the exhaust, but like you I'm not sure how to interface with that at all. I just used a 10k NTC thermistor wedged between two fins and called it a day
  10. I did something very similar to you - I aquired a pair of Tesla M40 GPUs for image recognition via cuda - they're a little newer and so I did pay a little more, but I simply adapted some 12033 blower fans to the rear using something I designed in F360. It ain't pretty, but it works, and I'm very happy with the cooling performance! These fans deliver a ton of air so I can have them purring along at 25% while the cards are under full load. Unlike the grid GPUs these don't have mounting holes on this side so I just hot glued the shrouds on haha. I'm using a thermal probe in the exhaust to control the fan speed, are you just leaving them all at a fixed speed?
  11. I've got a gtx 1080 that I'm really trying to get working - so far the fans spin, but I'm not getting any display out of it through any of the ports. Using the igpu I can get into windows where I can see that there are no display adapters showing up apart from the igpu, not even one with an error under system devices. Same story in the bios - no pcie device is detected. Specs of testbench: Asus Z170-A Intel Core i5 6500T 1x8GB DDR4 2400 Segotep 600W Gold So far I've tried the following: remounting the cooler trying other pcie slots clearing cmos Anything I should do before tossing in the towel and baking the damn thing? Thanks in advance!
  12. I will have to in order to use 3 gpus (technically 4 total) on this board. I will have 2x Tesla M40s for the heavy machine learning, the P106 handles my 3d printer spaghetti detection, and I have a GT 730 idling 99% of the time in a modded 1x slot in case I need to pull up a gui. If all 3 big gpus are running full tilt (which may very well happen frequently) they'll be pulling 225W from the pcie slots, plus another 5 or 10 for the GT730, which I am not comfortable with. Considering that I will also be powering dual channel memory, a pcie ssd, and potentially more, I'm not feeling very good about this if they do need to pull from the slots. Any idea if it's something like 25 or 35W or if it's the full 75? This was what I thought, but I wanted hard numbers because I did some quick maths and just about had a heart attack
  13. M40s have a 250W max power draw and a 150W operational power draw, how would they pull that from the motherboard when the pcie slot power spec is rated for 75W? Am I missing something?
  14. As title states - I'm throwing 2 custom cooled Tesla M40s into my machine learning rig alongside an ex-mined P106-90. I'm worried about blowing the pcie slots on my motherboard (Asus Z170-A) as if all 3 gpus take the 75W from the mobo, I am quite worried about the motherboard just going poof. I'm hoping that someone who's worked with these gpus know whether they get all their power from the power cable or if they draw power from both the 8 pin and the pcie slot, or at least can point me towards documentation on the matter.
  15. I'm trying to get an extreme undervolt on my rx580 to get it running cooler and quieter (performance is not a concern) since it's effectively running passive. In both Afterburner and Wattman I can lower the voltage frequency curve to any point I'd like, but any value below 930mv won't apply to the core once I enter it in (I'm trying to hit 1000mhz@0.85v, which shouldn't be a problem). At 90W of power draw reported in software it's still running a little too warm for my taste, so is there anything I can do at this point? Card is question is a Sapphire Nitro+ if that matters at all
  16. I'm struggling to find anything about the MSI B550M-A Pro. It's not on the list but I'd assume it's similar to the B550 Pro-VDH/Pro-DASH just without the heatsinks on the VRMs. Am I correct in thinking this? Or is this actually a $50 board priced at $90 because it's B550?
  17. I'd love to see if you can figure out what platform it's on, such as an Andyson or something. Or at least if the components seem fine if it's group regulated.
  18. I would do that if power spikes weren't a thing. I'm currently pulling roughly 430-450W under a high mixed load, 500ish under full synthetic, and I'd rather not redline my psu since I will have this doing cuda and essentially be maxed out as many hours per day as possible. I'm also toying with the possibility of putting a second gpu in here (Tesla M40, which is basically a 980Ti afaik) and I'm definitely going to need 750W. I guess at the end of the day it's not a big deal since a decent Montech or a Segotep is only $10-15 more, but I'm a cheapass so I try and save :) So I just want to know if I can actually daily drive this psu and not have it blow up or kill anything!
  19. This is the one I'm currently interested in: www.amazon.com/dp/B08JM12SQ5/ Just a generic 750W bronze unit that doesn't look like a bomb. Not sure what the internals are, hoping it can do 4-500W of power without breaking anything. Anyone able to point me towards a review or anything? Can't find anything myself.
  20. You could look at the mounting holes and pcb to see if another of msi's coolers will just work with it (similar to how evga hydro coppers are just FTWs with a waterblock attached) or you could grab a universal gpu cooler like an arctic accelero or something along those lines. edit: from my very limited research it appears that this has a founders pcb and thus an universal cooler should work
  21. I think I posted some models of the cross section before, I think those would show very well how much space I'm working with. On top of the gpu anything >10mm won't work so if I were to add a fan where the vent is it would have to be a 60mm fan, which noctua does not make in a 10mm thickness (or at all, iirc. They only do 40mm and 80+mm)
  22. The cpu cooler needed a shroud when I was just channeling air over it, but I eventually realized that there was enough clearance for the fan to fit and not ruin the airflow. The spacing between the motherboard and gpu means that the bottom half of the gpu heatsink does most of the work, though I think for this to be most optimal I'd either have to place a fan flowing air down on the heatsink or flip the exhausts. Either way, it would make the system even louder and I'd rather just take the thermal penalty and underclock both parts some more.
  23. oh yeah it's on 2004, but prior to this morning it was just fine and it's been on 2004 for a while now. There must've been another update for 2004 after I updated initially that rolled out to me last night >_>
  24. for reference, this is what it looks like on my 1903 desktop so much better >_>
  25. that's about all that I could find. I'm rather disappointed that this isn't something that can be easily adjusted. I previously had the same problems with my icons at the right side of the taskbar being made wider than they were before
