    That’s not exactly helpful. I have a PSU of that capacity for multiple reasons. First and foremost it’s future proof for when I expand my build with larger processors and use multiple graphics cards. That coupled with an OC on everything can draw a lot of power. As of right now, and even in the future, my PSU doesn’t need to work very hard and makes almost no noise. Plus the high quality aspect of it hopefully makes for less voltage ripple at the source. On top of all of that, I got it because I wanted it. do you have anything helpful to add? or even anything on-topic?

    Hi all, im over clocking my R5 2600 and I’m running in to some issues that maybe someone could advise me on. I’m currently going for a 4.1ghz OC and have my vcore set to 1.337. VDroop has my vcore dropping to something like 1.28v and it’s so close to being P95 stable. Obviously I can raise the voltage some more but the vdroop is really bothering me. My my question is: how do I keep my voltages stable on this MoBo? There is no LLC option on the main OCTweaker bios page, but is there something I could do in the advanced options? Can LLC be added to a bios later on in an update? Thanks! my build: ASRock x470 Master SLI/AC (bios 1.4) Ryzen 5 2600 corsair h115i w/ push&pull fan config 3200mhz cl14 ram corsair hx1200i PSU samsung 860 evo 500gb sapphire Rex 580 8gb nitro

    I replaced the AIO with the stock cooler (wraith stealth) and I’m getting mid 60’s while playing total war war hammer 2. Is that reasonable for temps? Highest spike was like 73 for a sec. edit: I want to add that I set everything back to stock voltage and frequency

    Lol I installed 4 more fans to the case and remounted the AIO. Temps are better, but definitely still much too hot. I think the AIO may have an issue. I hear some sort of bubbling/pump sound when it starts up but I thought it was normal

    I’ll try 1.4 when I’m able to a bit later today. My case is the loan-li pc-o11 Dynamic but basically my only fans in it are on the AIO. The AIO is set up as intake from the top though so I didn’t think that there would be any issues with air getting to the radiator.

    Update: So I took off the side panels and unplugged the Corsair HX1200i USB cable so it would eliminate that component having a possible effect on Corsair Link. I also set the Vcore to 1.3 and the CPU to 3.9ghz and have the SoC at 1.1v. The temps are significantly lower and more stable than before (according to HWInfo, not C-Link) and seem to be in the margin of error for a bad mounting or thermal paste job. Temps are still high at 75c under Aida 64 load, but that’s a major improvement. My my confusion here is that I have the AIO set up as intake, so I’m unsure why the removal of side panels would effect temps like that. Anyone got anything to add or suggest?

    I used a decent sized dot in the center of the chip. I’ve built a few PCs and have definitely made my share of mounting mistakes, but I could just try remounting. The AIO is my “old” one from my previous PC. It’s not even 6 months old yet. I think im going to try remounting it. Hopefully it works! It shows ~3000 pump speed. The reference WAS set to the coolant, but I changed it to the CPU. The problem is that Corsair link shows my CPU as being 130c... They are in push and mounted as intake. My CPU is on auto and not going past like 1.3V so that’s what my concern is about. My ambient here is like 21C for further reference.
  8. CarolinaRoots
    Pretty sure. The pump was installed on my old PC and isn’t old at all. How could I tell if it’s broken?

    I was intending on OC’ing pretty aggressively, sadly. Ryzen master puts my temps at similar temps as HWInfo but maybe a tad lower. I feel like something is very wrong since I built a PC with a ryzen 1700 and OC’d it to 3.9 GHZ and it has better temps than my lower core/lower power CPU with the same size CLC. I just want to know what might be going on to get me these crazy high temps!

    I’ve just built a new PC and am using a Ryzen 5 at stock settings and it’s displaying unsettlingly high numbers for temps. I’ve also noticed that some softwares (Corsair Link) can’t tell the actual temperature either. Corsair link says it’s at 130C so I’ll take a wild guess and say that’s a load of shenanigans. HWInfo puts my temps at ~65C while on stock settings and very mild loads. I don’t think it’s how I mounted the CPU cooler but I’m definitely not opposed to trying it again if that’s what everyone suggests.

    That’s a solid answer. So to clarify: with the 4 phases that are doubled, I have the power output and temps of an 8 phase but not the ripple suppression? And I wouldn’t have any problems with ripple anyways?
  12. CarolinaRoots
    Well thanks, I guess I was worrying about nothing!
  13. CarolinaRoots
    Okay, I’ll keep an eye on the temps. Most motherboards come with decent sensors for the VRM temps now right?
  14. CarolinaRoots
    That could prove to be an issue due to the case I got. I planned on watercooling everything at some point in the near future with what would be my first custom loop. I got the Lian-Li PC011Dynamic, the one that Der8aur helped design. Great for watercooling, not so much for direct fan access to the VRMs lol
  15. CarolinaRoots
    So I don’t need to worry about any potential heat problems?

    I just bought the parts to my new rig and I was pretty excited to see a “12 phase” Power design on a mid-tier board. I’m reading on now that it’s not at all what I thought it was, and it’s actually a 4+2 that’s doubled? I really liked the x370 Taichi that I built my girlfriend’s editing computer with so I figured that this was a decent brand. my real question here is this: will I be able to OC my rig and not be limited by the VRMs on the board? parts: R5 2600 (I intend to make multiple OC Profiles, one of which will be its’s max frequency) corsair h115i Asrock x470 Master sli/AC corsair HX1200i platinum (never buying another psu again) saphire rx580 8GB black edition 16 gb of g.skill trident z rgb 3200mhz c14 Am I being paranoid? Or is this a legitimate concern? If I do need to get a different one, what board should I get?

    Okay so I ran DDU while in safe mode and reinstalled Crimson Relive 17.11.4 and it’s still not getting past the windows logo. Should I try something earlier than that?
  18. CarolinaRoots
    What is DDU? Sorry if that’s a dumb question

    It recognized that I have an R9 200 series card. I’ve never actually used Linux or anything like that before, is there a link you could provide? Thanks!
  20. CarolinaRoots
    I did that and uninstalled the graphics driver, then reinstalled the latest one (18.something) and still no luck.
  21. CarolinaRoots
    As the title suggests, my card is stuck on a black screen after the boot of Windows happens. I see the icon and the swirly circle of loading time, then just black. It displays my BIOS and everything just fine until Windows boots, so I’m very confused as to what to do. If I use only the integrated graphics it works fine. I reinstalled windows, I’ve reinstalled the driver for the card, still nothing. Any suggestions? my system: windows 10 i7 4790k MSI Gaming 3 z97 samsun 860 Evo R9 290x XFX or Sapphire 16gb RAM

    That’s really double MSRP? Man, I’m out of touch with pricing. My my budget is 300-400 USD for a good card that would last another 2ish years. I feel like with Volta coming out in the near future, GPU pricing is going to be even more strange. Im looking at used RX 500 series right now, as per the earlier replies to my post.
  23. CarolinaRoots
    Hi all, My first ever build has taken it’s first major casualty, the graphics card. It was an XFX (maybe sapphire?) R9 290x. So I need a new card now. Any suggestions for a card of comparable performance? I know Volta is coming out soon and I’ve been holding out until then, but now my rig is out of commission completely as far as gaming goes. It’s also worth mentioning that my monitor is a 144hz FreeSync monitor. Price is a big issue too. I know Nvidia is selling their cards at MSRP (or close to) prices so that gives me some good options there. Call me crazy, but I feel like an RX 580 shouldn’t run me almost 900 bucks!

    I’m stress testing a mild OC for my ryzen platform and was wonder what up with my OCCT program. It is skipping the occasional second on its timer and that makes me think that it’s unstable, but the computer seems to be running fine. Does anyone have any idea what’s up with that?

    Thanks for looking in to it with me, I’m pretty reliant on it seeing as I use it for video editing work lol if you happen to find it, I’m looking for a full list of error codes and their descriptions but I can’t seem to find one.
