What's the difference between settings it very high at 400w then just a normal OC at 130w, I as in wouldn't the card try to push that wattage until it thermal throttles super hard? or is the chip safe to take a high wattage as long as it cool.

I think a soft powerplay table is what I am doing just referring to it incorrectly. I press "Write SPPT" after modifying the settings to push my power limit past the factory 120w in MPT. So you think I can push 130-140w out of this chip as long as it's cool? and stable?

From overclocking and researching a bit It seems (min,max,volt) 2200/2700/1070mv is a good OC for this card, Max vram and power %. But do you think its safe to push this card wattage past 120w? using MPT to bios flash it

Is their a known safe wattage for these RDNA 2 gpus? I know you can bios flash these things to do 150w but I feel like that's a bit much for these chips. I am under the assumption as long as I keep temps under control(around 75c) I can push power a bit higher to push the core clock higher. Any overclocking tips for AMD cards would be great I only know how to OC Nvidia cards which seen to work very differently.

ahh thanks for the info I thought User-benchmark was reliable

I saw this on CPU-Z which made me make the assumption

So I discovered the new feature of PBO Curve optimizer which seems to be a god send from AMD. I bought the 5600 non x knowing I could get 5600x performance if I just OC'd, but now It seems like i'm doing better or on par with the 5800x? are these scores normal or are they as good as they look Specs CPU - R5 5600 on 240mm Water RAM - 16gb Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz GPU - 1660 ti Benchmarks down here CPU Z Validation Cinabench R23 - Multi: 11637 Single: 1508

My server runs Plex and a few other things on it. Curious if its better to just run a manual all core OC for some plex encoding or keep PBO on. My server (unless its encoding Plex media) is always between 5-10% usage so I feel like it would be better for it to stay at a manual OC for better power usage. Not sure any tips would help

Thought so everyone was praising POC but it overcompensated way to much and to dangerous levels. Any idea a safe voltage for 4.2ghz OC?

So I just got a 240 water cooler and immediately overclocked my Ryzen 2600x to 4.1ghz at 1.35v which is normal for the 2600x temps were great too. I keep hearing that precision boost override awesome and I tried it out on my CPU boosts to 4.2ghz but the voltage was hitting 1.5+ which is not safe for Ryzen(1.425-1.45 was safe for 2000 series). manual OC I can hit 4.1ghz at 1.35v. not sure if I should use precision boost and that voltage is safe or manual to 4.1ghz at 1.35. Note: My temps on all my OC attempts never hit over 62c so I have thermal headroom, 4.1ghz OC never goes over 50c at 100%). Many thanks to any help

Maybe wipe the entire drive to default FAT32 and use Rufus to install Linux Mint, I just used it for Ubuntu a couple days ago worked fine.

i'm new to Linux not heard of it ill look into it. Thanks

Do you know any software for like daily back ups to a cloud storage? or is Linux not that simple ? I don't exactly have the drive space

So generally i'm fine with running it on a usb for a while

So I have my old PC rig that has decent specs for a old rig but I'm a teenager so money isn't exactly there so I bought a 32gb usb drive to run Linux off of. Now I'm planning on just running a Plex server off of it and maybe a Pi-Hole dns but I'm probably not gonna use it all to much. Looked up online but found yes and nos left and right...Is it safe to run Linux on it's own on a usb drive?
