Coolday reacted to Master Disaster in Why X570 board has a fan
Actually I believe the fan serves 2 purposes. It provides active cooling for the chipset but it also provides active cooling for the M.2 devices as well/

Coolday reacted to Bombastinator in Why X570 board has a fan
Not all the I/o on a motherboard goes thru the chipset. Only 4 lanes of pcie total go through the chipset. Way more than enough for keyboards and mice and sata and stuff. Even combined.
B450 was all pcie 3.0, x570 all pcie 4.0, b550 has pcie 4.0 from the cpu but 3.0 from the chipset.

Because the x570 chipset is 10w whereas the others are more like half that.

Coolday reacted to Lurick in Why X570 board has a fan
X570 chipset link to the CPU = PCIe 4.0 and thus higher power draw
B550 chipset link to the CPU = PCIe 3.0 and thus lower power draw
As someone who has an x570 board I have NEVER heard my chipset fan, ever.

Coolday reacted to Senzelian in What are the difference between these temps ?
I have no clue where exactly the sensors are located, but I can tell you the following:
AMD has chosen to manage their cores in so called CCXs. So a CCX houses, I think, usually up to 4 cores.
Two CCXs (or maybe even more, don't know) make up a CCD.
The CCDs then sit inside the die.
The entire thing with it's power delivery components and substrate is then called the CPU.
That's all I know 😛
Edit: I even found a picture!

fairly easy calculator that you can set to whatever you have, just set the power price to 0$/kwh if you have free power

Coolday reacted to Statik in AIO 2 or 3 fans ?
There will be very little difference between a 240mm and 360mm AIO. Definitely not worth a $65 price difference.

Coolday reacted to Unilevers in Want to start mining guide me please
i mine on 1070 SC's on cheap power. I make a profit but very little and the machines have already returned the investment from previous when ETH was high. Granted i have ~36 of them running at any given time i do make a profit, but the margins are small and tight. I would advise against anyone getting into this if you haven't already got the hardware and dont have cheap commercial power as you will just lose most likely.

Not profitable anymore, don't even try

Coolday reacted to Fasauceome in Want to start mining guide me please
You would see a very, very long return on investment time with a small group of asic miners. You really can't use mining to replace a job, and by the time you start to turn a profit, the vaccine for Covid 19 will probably have been available for a long time

It's not profitable. Hasn't been for years at this point.

Coolday reacted to TetraSky in Want to start mining guide me please
Don't bother. The only ones making money at this point, are the large mining farms with their own solar/wind power or some shit like that.
You'll never recoup your money if you start now.
Mining was only ever profitable for the layperson when it first started and if you held onto your virtual coins.

Coolday reacted to Kisai in This slot for what ?
Just download the manual.
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1200/ROG_MAXIMUS_XII_EXTREME/E16774_ROG_MAXIMUS_XII_EXTREME_UM_V3_WEB.pdf
It's basically a PCIe slot.

Coolday reacted to minibois in This slot for what ?
https://rog.asus.com/articles/maximus-motherboards/whats-the-best-m2-cooling-solution-rog-has-4-new-solutions/
It's an expansion card that you can screw two M.2 SSD into. That way the manufacturer (ASUS) doesn't have to find a place for two additional M.2 slots on the board itself.
Most motherboards do not use this, it's only ASUS on certain boards of theirs.

Coolday reacted to nick name in AIO Cooler
Get this one:
Thermaltake Water 3.0 360 ARGB Sync All-in-one 360mm
That's based off of this chart from this site:

Coolday reacted to Boomwebsearch in AIO Cooler
That's okay if you don't want to include what country you are shopping in, I understand, although unfortunately I won't be able to help you with part suggestions that are likely to be found in the specific country you are buying from.
The Raidmax Zeta case has support for upto 280mm or 360mm radiators which is great, I would get an EVGA CLC 360 liquid cooler if that is available or my second recommendation would be Cooler Master's MasterLiquid ML240L RGB.

Coolday reacted to nick name in AIO Cooler
They want to know where you're from so they know what options you have available to you. No need to be paranoid unless you live in a country where you being on the internet is forbidden and you worry we will turn you in.
The Liquid Freezer II by Artic is cheaper. The Fractal Design S36 Celsius is cheaper. The EVGA CLC 280 is cheaper.

Coolday reacted to Hilltrot in Tried to oc my ram but did not work
It's like the difference between a 3600 and a 3600x. On the advertisements, the 3600x is faster. In truth, they are the same chip and can be overclocked to the same point.
-
Coolday reacted to Hilltrot in Tried to oc my ram but did not work
Almost all memory is defaults to 2667. What is advertised on your box is the overclock that they have tested and placed on the memory as an XMP profile.
Without the XMP profile, the RAM defaults to 2667 which is the speed DDR4 was designed to go. The XMP profile simply tells the motherboard, "Hey, I can go faster - use these settings!" The motherboard follows the settings and tries it out.

Coolday reacted to vanished in Running all cores at 4.2GHz degrade the CPU ?
As far as I'm aware there's no direct inherent risk to running at higher than stock speeds. The issues come in through indirect means - to achieve those speeds you may need more voltage, and this can either harm the chip directly if you exceed roughly 1.35v (varies depending who you ask), or indirectly by simply making it too hot (but this can be solved by having a better cooler).

Coolday reacted to DailyProcrastinator in How to set max speed for this cpu ?
That's an loaded question lol, if you want to learn how Ryzen master works and precision boost overdrive I suggest going through some turorial videos and others that provide general info, this is a good start:

Coolday reacted to aDoomGuy in My HDD temp is 50c
Not a problem. 50o is acceptable, just not optimal. As long as it stay between 25-60o you should be fine.

Coolday reacted to TempestCatto in My HDD temp is 50c
50C is perfectly fine. A touch warm, but no harm no foul.
