    Your temps seem about normal, the 5800x is a volcano of a chip and seems to be the hottest of the consumer ryzen chips. Mine peaks at around 82C in cinebench on an hd-15 and this is after setting a mild undervolt as shown in the video IkeaGnome linked with an offset of -18 all core. If you want cooler temps, you could undervolt as instructed in the video and either set a negative auto overclock offset of -50mhz or reduce your PBO limits (ex: reduce EDC , PPT). You could also use ClockTuner 2.0 for ryzen to automatically set an undervolt.

    A workstation card like a quadro can game just about as well as the equivalent geforce card, though its price will be a lot higher for that level of performance. Something like a quadro RTX 5000 should be about equal to an RTX 2080 in gaming performance, but the price difference is staggering. I wouldn't go with a non pro card if you plan on using it for large assemblies in Solidworks, as only pro cards have access to realview rendering through their drivers so that even a more modest quadro usually runs circles around beefier geforce cards(https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/SOLIDWORKS-2018-GPU-Comparison-What-Is-the-Meaning-of-This-1112/). You could enable realview rendering on a gaming card through a registry tweak, though it may reduce stability so try it at your own risk. However, if you plan on mainly using Autocad, I'd go for the cheaper gaming card as performance is not artificially restricted by drivers for that program.

    I'll order another dp cable since I only have 1 at the moment. I tried connecting a different pc to my monitor using hdmi and didn't encounter any issues when switching resolutions, though when switching back and testing my main pc, it issues seem to have disappeared for now.

    oops, forgot to mention it. Its a gigabyte gtx 970 mini

    I've been noticing some weird on screen artifacts (looks like green moire patterns) but am not sure if my monitor or gpu is to blame. They started occurring about a month ago at which point I was using a 16:9 1080p monitor via hdmi, but they were very infrequent and barely noticeable. These same artifacts occurred much more aggressively when I switched to a 21:9 1440p monitor (set to native res on desktop), but they were promptly solved when I switched to the second display port cable on my gpu. However, today I noticed that they still occur when using a non-native resolution either in game or on my desktop. If I run a game at a non-native resolution and take a screenshot using geforce experience or steam, the screenshot doesn't have any artifacting if my desktop is set to native res but displays the same artifacts if set to another resolution. I tried setting display scaling to be performed on my GPU in the nvidia control panel, though nothing changed. I also tried to set my desktop resolution to 2560x 1080 to show the artifacting and then unplugged and reinserted the dp cable into the same port on my gpu with nothing changed. I then switched to the other dp port on my cpu and the artifacting was gone, even with my desktop at a non-native res. The artifacting didn't reappear when switching back to the offending port. Any help would be appreciated Edit: GPU is a gtx 970 and current monitor is a gigabyte g34wqc connected by the included displayport 1.4 cable

    Probably very poorly, I doubt folding at home can utilize 256 threads.

    Wrong, it makes a cool looking paperweight. But in all seriousness, I think your right, It gets outperformed by other xeons in single core and by gpus in multicore, I can't think of why someone wouldn't just buy a gpu instead.

    I tried to argue that it would still be valid for an episode of Useless Tech Over $100 since the two cables had totally different claims.

    As I said in my original post, I believe it's snake oil.
  10. antoipod
    Though I believe that one did not claim to have a gpu inside or to help with anti-aliasing.

    Review ideas thread? Where do I find it?
  12. antoipod
    Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I came across this on Reddit, the company making this hdmi cable claims it has a graphics processor inside that reduces aliasing and increases framerate. It seems like snake oil to me but reviewers seem to say otherwise and claim it works, can an hdmi cable actually anti-alias an image? Here is a review I found:

    I've got an asus z170-e motherboard if that helps.

    The orange speaker icon is nowhere to be found, the program is enabled on startup but does not seem to startup and I can't seem to open it by finding it's file location and clicking on the .exe, I guess I downloaded the wrong driver, could you link me to where I can download the correct Hd audio manager?
  15. antoipod
    I uninstalled the asus branded drivers and installed the original realtek driver but I can't seem to be able to open the HD audio manager panel now.
