    I currently have a - 1440p/140Hz monitor - asus b150m-a - g4560 with hyper212x - rx 580 8Gb - 8Gb ram, upgrade to 16 soon Since my recent GPU upgrade makes my CPU the bottleneck in some games I want to upgrade it. Would you recommend a new mainboard and a ryzen/8th gen intel or should I rather stick to my current mainboard and buy the now cheaper i7 7700K or other options? I use my PC mainly for Gaming and Video Editing and some game developing. Thanks in advance

    I live in germany and here the prices are different + I want to get the best out of the things I have here instead of buying new parts

    Even if its ddr2 so a newer technology at 800MHz in dual channel versus mixed ddr1 (partly underclocked) to 333MHz?
  4. johannes_wn
    I only have a motherboard that supports ddr1 ram for the pentium, so either amd + less but faster ddr2 or Intel + more but 333MHz fast ddr1

    EDIT: All the hardware mentioned below is not server-grade hardware running a "server-dedicated" os + the pc is only on for a few hours a day. I once built and set up a minecraft server for my little brother and his friends out of free parts. It had a socket A single core 32-bit processor at 1.8GHz with 130nm lithography and 4Gb of "mixed" ram, meaning different sizes, clock speeds, manufacturers and so on. I know and knew that that was a very bad solution especially for a server, but it worked just fine, even over hour-long gameplay sessions. Now I have gotten new parts and am upgrading to either the amd athlon 64 x2 (dual core, 64-bit, 2,2GHz and 65nm lithography) or the quite a bit better pentium e2220 (dual core, 64-bit, 2,4GHz and 60nm lithography). I've also gotten a mainboard for the amd processor which is dual-channel capable and has 2*1Gb ddr2 ram at 800MHz in it + it has two more dual-channel slots so I can upgrade later on Should I go with the better processor and more, but worse ram or with the slightly worse processor and less, but way better ram? The answer seems obvious, but maybe the server gains more profit from more ram, so please explain your answer. Thanks in advance☺

    I have now completely reinstalled my graphics drivers according to this guide: https://community.amd.com/thread/180667 and now everything is back to normal. I was able to reinstall Afterburner and (without! touching the clock sliders) use it to create my own fan curves. By overclocking in Overdrive instead of Afterburner, the dynamic clock range now scales from 300MHz to my specified overclocked values, meaning quiet watching YouTube and better FPS in games, with more fan noise though. Conclusion: Do more research before doing something, unless you know what you are doing, whether it's a forum post or oc'ing your graphics card.

    I've now factory reset the relive software after closing afterburner and restarting my pc, but the values are still set to the ones in afterburner. I'll uninstall afterburner now to see if that works
  8. johannes_wn
    I think I've found the reason. In AMDs Overdrive it had a dynamic range before, from 300MHz to 1GHz. After I overclocked in Afterburner, the minimum was my overclock and the maximum of the "dynamic range" was 1450 for the core, so way too high. My presumable new problem is, if I reset Afterburner to 1GHz on the core, that'll be the minimum now, instead of the previous 300MHz.. any ideas?
  9. johannes_wn
    Why? It wasn't like this before I overclocked and although this seems childish, I am very careful when Im downloading stuff and I don't go on shady/scamming websites, so I don't think that's the case

    I've overclocked my XFX R7870 to 1100MHz Core and 1450 VRAM with +20% Power control, all according to a guide. My problem is, that the Core stays at 1100MHZ at idle and the VRAM is at around 1200MHZ at idle too, which leads to annoyingly loud fans, wasted lifespan of the card and so on. Before I overclocked, the gpu & vram used to dynamically scale their clock speed. Why are they not doing that anymore? Sounds noobish because.. I am a noob at overclocking. Help/Advice is very much appreciated.
  12. johannes_wn
    I thought so too, and this is definitely true when you compare for example 2133Mhz with 2400Mhz, but isn't it much more of a difference at such a low clock rate?
  13. johannes_wn
    He is using the pc to watch YouTube, play minecraft-type games when it comes to requirements and mainly uses it for music production, and for those tasks it works just fine.

    I am upgrading an old system from my brother and since he didn't want to buy a new computer just yet he wanted to spend ~30-40€ on upgrading his old system instead. Currently he has a motherboard that is limited to 4gb ddr2 at a maximum frequency of 1066Mhz with 2 sticks of 2Gb ddr2 at 800Mhz. Since I have 2*1Gb ddr2 at 800Mhz lying around, my options are: buy a new motherboard with a higher amout of possible ram and put 6Gb ram at 800Mhz in that or buy 2*2Gb ddr2 at 1066Mhz to put faster ram in his current motherboard. What would you recommend?
