This can happen with budget boards (less layers) and chonky boi coolers.

Gravity is the issue here but double check all the motherboard screws are full seated also.

Might be a silly question but have you been using the same Windows USB for the fresh installs?

Did you carry over a previous Windows install?

Hello,

 

It's my first time here.

I would like to ask if is there any chance that I can get my GPU repaired?

The LEDs only in static (Pink) color and won't change even though I used their TRIXX software.

Sometime the light flickers while I'm doing stuff. My hunch is that its LEDs are broken.

Is there any way to repair this?

Try and source an older version of Trixx. The new versions are pretty flakey in my experience.

I don't

Your current temps are actually fine but the contact frame should shave off a couple of degrees for not a lot of money.

Any recommendation?

Do you use a contact frame with your 13600k?  If not i'd give one of those a go with some good thermal paste first before stumping up for a new cooler.

I reckon you'll need to go bigger than a 240 aio to get better temps than the  Peerless Assassin.

Firstly i would re-paste the card, then use MSI afterbirner for the fan curve and make sure Afterburner is set to run when the PC starts.

£150 for the board and £50 for the CPU is a fair price looking at my local current market value.

A good few of the Enermax coolers are prone to clogging badly.

New cooler and you should be fine.

If you didn't do a fresh windows install when you upgraded then that would be the first thing i would do after experiencing these issues.

Is there any tool I can  use to see how much of a bottleneck is happening here ?

Enable every core/thread utilization in Riva and i'll bet you see some cores basically pegged to 100%
Very few games if any would max 12 threads to be fully saturated.

Given Armoury Crates reputation i wouldn't put it past that software being the problem.

Yeah a 580 should work just fine.

You can only really compare results using the same cpu/ram as yourself.

I wouldn't be surprised if the lacking 10% is due to your older platform, plus anything over 60th percentile i would slap straight in to the average performance category.

If you have 3Dmark give Firestrike a run, a 4770 and 1660 Super should score around the 12k mark.

Doubt it will run Gen 4 but according to the manual the option might be there?

Under Onboard Devices

If you are certain the pump and fans are working then it can only really be a mount/contact issue.

You can check pump rpm swiftly in bios along will holding the housing to feel for vibrations, that's about all you can do without opening things up.

If all looks well then i'd remove the pump block and check the spread of paste to see how the contact was, if it looks like good contact then likely the cooler has failed internally.

I was gonna try to do 4600MHz RAM on it, does that mean I can't?

Infinity fabric (FCLK) tops out on AM4 CPUs at around 1900, if you're really really lucky you may get 2000 which would mean RAM at 4000 may work but those chips are few and far between.  The infinty fabric runs 1:1 with RAM speed, if you don't run it 1:1 (out of sync)  you lose performance.

Sweet spot is 3733 RAM and 1866 FCLK, most chips will do this. With a bit of tuning then 3800 and 1900 is mostly doable.

My advice is to buy a 3200 C14 b-die kit and overclock to 3800, or get a Ballistix kit of 3600 C16 and again OC to 3800.  There's plenty of copy/paste settings round the internet for those kits.

The closest to DDR5 you can get with DDR4 is 4600MHz RAM or 4800MHz U-DIMM RAM.

DDR4 5000+ exsists in a few kits. Doesn't really matter anyway the CPU's don't support DDR5.

Fastest realistic speed you could run on your 3600XT is 3800MHz C14 on Samsung B-Die or C16 on Micron Rev E.

Not enough to make a huge difference. Zen 2 is pretty slow compared to Zen 3.

It's not too bad, running peak it pretty much halves the gap between zen 2 and 3.

Worth a bit of fiddling i'd say

4.65g on a zen2? Gold sample + good cooling, sheer volts, or just both? Apparently 4.5-4.6g is achievable with somewhat questionable 1.45v on zen2

 

Though what settings for the gta v benchmark?

It is a gold sample yeah, i run 4.6 at 1.375v with a -30mv offset for benching 3Dmark and light threaded loads. On an LF II 360.

It will validate on CPUZ at 4690Mhz at the same voltage.  https://valid.x86.fr/142im0

It's my daily so i'm not going to push it properly until i have an upgrade ready to go.   

Can't even remember what GPU i used for the GTA V benchmark nevermind the settings    Same settings were used for both though.

Horrible idea

Testing i've done in the past to show the difference, GTA V benchmark

OP wants better game performance and a 3600 c16 kit will provide a smoother experience than a 3200 c18 kit. (without tweaks/OC)

Kit i would advise would be Crucials Ballistix.

If you get a 3600 C16 kit you may see a few % increase in average FPS but the big difference will be how much better the 1% and 0.1% lows are.

Displayport is faster than HDMI, so don't bother changing that. Check the settings on your monitor. I have a Samsung monitor myself (27" Curved 240hz) and in its menu I can adjust refresh rate. Otherwise change settings in GeForce Experience - that is if you have it, if you don't, download it -.  That's all advice I can give you really 

It's not as clear cut as that.
 

I run a Pixio 95hz 1440p monitor which came with a display port cable that only allows 60hz where as HDMI allows the full 95 and beyond with a bit of overdrive.
