Turns out that particular mic was faulty. I had a replacement shipped the day after this post and it works fine.

I just got one, and Windows 10 isn't detected it. It's getting power from the PC and works with the on-board monitoring, but it isn't showing up as a connected device on the computer. Any ideas?

EDIT: Use Chrome to play media on the second monitor.

I have vsync disabled in Nvidia’s control panel. When the second monitor is disconnected, everything feels normal again.

Hey, I've never experienced an issue like this in the past, but when using a secondary display it feels like there's a split second of input latency in game. My primary monitor is 144Hz, and the secondary is 60Hz. Can anyone shed some light on this?

There's a cheaper version which doesn't have the majority of the characters but will give you an idea of the gameplay.

I'm probably talking out of my ass in all honesty. I'm fairly new to overclocking. All I've done is set a multiplier on the core and upped the voltage until stable under load for 30 minutes. I briefly looked into LLC, but our boards don't have any options to change it.

Yeah, everything's set in the BIOS. I was under the impression the voltage drops were some kinda of efficiency measure by AMD? Even at stock speeds the voltage dips a lot. I don't tend to do anything crazy with my system, other than gaming, streaming and editing so I don't normally test for longer than 30 minutes.

I followed your advice and ran a 10 minute test with Aida64. I normally use Intel Burn Test to test stability of my overclocks, so this was new to me. The 69c max in HWMonitor was a random spike, temps stabilized at 61c. I have a feeling the throttling message is just a bug in Userbenchmark at this point.

I’m using HWMonitor, those were the readings. Maybe there’s a bug in Userbenchmark? Novabench and Cinebench seem to run fine.

Sorry, I forgot to include temps. Idle is between 29c to 31c, under load caps at 58c

Recently, when I complete a Userbenchmark run there's a notification that my CPU is being throttled. The only thing that's changed is a slightly higher overclock from 3.82GHz to 3.95GHz with a small bump in voltage from 1.35v to 1.38v. I've tested both AMD's and the high performance power plans, but the notification is still there. I've never had this come up on the results page before, any ideas why it could be showing now? Temps: Idle = 30c Load = 57c (max)

Tone down the overclock. Did you follow a guide or just randomly throw the sliders to the right?

I haven’t seen a single Ryzen build with RAM higher than 3600MHz

Topics like this are always a question of relativity. My idea of poor will be different to your idea of poor. I’m in a position where, if I wanted to, could go out and pick up something of moderate value for my hobbies. Cars, properties etc. are not on the table however.
