    mafioso got a reaction from Maxxtraxx in Would you recommend me going for a new PSU ?   
    Right I found the culprit : Thermal paste !!
     
    I found another LTT thread with a guy with the same issue and he tried the simplest thing on earth : changing thermal paste.
    I did the same thing.
    I cleaned the all-dead-dried-out thermal paste by GA and put on some good thermal grizzly kryonaut.
     
    Now I run at stock without any issue at all.
    It's even better : I don't even hear the fan noise @@
    I used to hear the fan ramping up when it loads some graphics, now it's almost inaudible @@
     
    So great I could use my card almost brand new again ^_^

    Le contrôle de qualité que Dell applique sur la gamme Precision est grandement supérieure aux modèles XPS et Inspiron. Les Precision sont fréquemment utilisés à des fins industrielles et militaires... pour de bonnes raisons.

    Tu as des points.
    Je ne suis pas très sûr de ce que je ressentirai lorsque j'utiliserai une machine qui pourrait accélérer plus qu'un PC, pour commencer, ce qui me fait assez peur. Mais je suppose qu'à un moment donné, je dois sacrifier un peu de performance de toute façon.
    Bon, je devrais juste éviter Huawei pour ne pas avoir de problèmes à l'avenir. Je pense que c'est une bonne décision.
    Je pense beaucoup au Précision, mais je ne sais pas si je vais devoir coder plus en déplacement ou si je vais rester à un endroit pour travailler plus. Si je dois me déplacer beaucoup et que je dois coder en déplacement, je choisirai probablement le XPS. Sinon, c'est le Précision qui s'impose. Mais je ne peux pas débattre de la durabilité du Précision. Je suis sûr qu'un châssis plus grand apportera toujours une meilleure durabilité globale. C'est incontestable.

    Tu connais tes besoins mieux que nous. C'est possible d'avoir une très bonne performance (voire équivalente) avec un portable par rapport à une station fixe. 
     
    Par expérience, j'éviterais Huawei. Leur caractéristiques sont intéressantes pour le prix, mais pour avoir déjà été propriétaire de leurs produits, leur durabilité et fiabilité... bref, c'est de la merde. 
     
    De la liste de modèles que tu as mentionné, j'irais probablement avec le Dell Precision. Certes, il sera probablement moins "portable" qu'un XPS ou un Huawei, mais en terme de durabilité, ce sont de véritables chars d'assault. Tu pourrais essayer de vendre ton ordinateur fixe pour récupérer une partie des coûts.

    It could be a DNS problem,an ISP problem or both.
    You can easily change the DNS,
    1.1.1.1 is a popular DNS address that you can use.

    If you wont upgrade to any AM4 CPU with over 8 cores, sure.

    A super high end PSU is not worth it, seems like 12V only PSU will be a thing in the future so an ATX PSU today may not be useful for that long. Something like a TXM or G2 is already more than durable enough
     
    I'm worried about the board's VRM thermals...
     
    K5 has the same VRM and VRM heatsink, just better VRM cooling because there's no stupid plastic blocking airflow, but Buildzoid ran a 1700 instead of a 2700X, which draws less power. That fact that your board didnt shutdown earlier is a sign that it cannot shut itself down when VRM overheats, which is not a good thing.

    mafioso got a reaction from greenmax in Overclocking the old man 2700X and upgrading discussion   
    Hello guys. I open this thread to talk about my overclocking experience on my 2700X as well as to seek discussion and debate from you guys on that.
    Without further ado I'll first list the hardware config:
    - Gigabyte AX370 Gaming K3
    - Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 Special Edition (this beast runs very stably and nicely at 1430MHz core and 2100MHz mem clock respectively)
    - An X-Calibre (who knows the brand) 500W 80 plus white PSU
    - An Orient cheap ass case (you can see in the photo), with only one molex 90mm fan that I ended up not using, which is why I left it open up for better air conditioning
    - 2x8GB LPX 3200MHz CL16, which I'm running at 3GHz CL15 (15-17-34). It cannot run 3200MHz on this board, BSOD immediately
    - And finally my 2700X running at 3.95GHz at 1.25625V VCore
     
    Before talking about results and numbers I'm running a complete mixed test in AIDA (CPU, FPU, cache, system memory, local disks and GPU stresses) all at the same time, so it makes the whole system, as well as the CPU much hotter than when stressing the CPU alone.
     
    First I tried 3.975 at 1.2875, it crashed at 6:23 min at 95C so I decided it won't get much further.
    Then I tried 3.95GHz at 1.25 but it crashed at 5 min so I went back to a better number which was 1.25625 but eventually it crashed after 48 mins (95C)
    It's so late now and I got a presentation next morning so I think I'll stop the journey for now.
     
    Maybe at the end of the week I'll attempt 3.925. Anything above that right now will hit 95C eventually or it'll crash due to low power delivery if I try to low ball Vcore.
     
    What do you think of these results? Have I got a bad piece of silicon lottery or it's just the board is too bad? What are your results (if you're running the same thing)?
     
    Besides, I'm considering some part for future upgrade. I think I'll keep the 2700X, the RAM and the GPU. Following is a list of possible upgrades once I manage to sell the current parts, in a prioritized order:
    - Phantek Eclipse P400A mid tower - 104 euros now on AMZ (recommended by GN) + a couple 120mm and 140mm (maybe 200 if applicable)
    - Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite  - 210 euros now on AMZ (also recommended by GN)
    - Corsair AX850 Titanium  - 216 euroes now on AMZ (yes you hear me, it's insane but I'm considering something that will accompany me forever, so it's in the plan anyway)
    - Corsair Hydro 115i RGB Platinum 280mm AIO - 141 euros now on AMZ (I found this quite well adopted on Amazon. I have very little experience on AIO so I put this in my list for now)
    And finally only when everything else is upgraded and I decide to increase game graphics quality, a 2070 Super from EVGA - 545 euros now on AMZ (but that part is still far far away).
     
    What do you think of these parts. Personally do you have any better suggestions? Well I was about to dump the thread when the test failed but I don't know maybe some of you will be willing to talk about it so I'll leave it here anyway.
    Very much appreciate all of you even if you just read this. It's so long I know.
    Hope you all have a good day.

    yeah CSGO its not big deal for cpu anyway. better Quad but highclock speed than Octa but lower speed.

    No, because as you said it only happens when you die. If it happened while you were shooting at an opponent or had to dodge something, then it would be a big deal.
     
    CSGO can't leverage many cores at all. A fast quad core would run CSGO better than a moderate speed 8 core any day.

    You misunderstood what I meant. I wanted to do something useful which consumes the power of my PC, something like building a 3D model, sketching some CADs, do some after effects etc. I did not mean I wanted it to run the whole day long

    Should I were you, I would simply gather the money and wait for 5 months and then buy all of them at the same time. You never know when there is a real deal but hey, in 5 months there may always be a drop in prices and I'd bet what you buy now will get cheaper next 5 months. True story

    Well, I wouldn't suggest trying.  Most (even modern) hacking tools raise red flags so big you can't even see the bloody sky.  I don't condone illegally hacking.  But there is a humble book bundle for security on right now which includes CEH (certified ethical hacker) if you want to learn to hack ethically,  
     
    Even if you wanted to hack into it, unless you had years of experience you would get charged and probably get a fine, or worse go to prison if you tried to do something like actually manipulate the terminal behind the machine.  Sorry, just rambling.
