    Clearly, your CPU is the rare Ryzen 9 1701, and Mr. Scott's giving her all she's got.

    Core Utility and Total CPU Utility include turbo/PBO speeds. It's normal (and expected) for them to read more than 100%.

    Xaps got a reaction from Hellowpplz in CPU at 114% Utilization   
    I dont even know how this is possible, I have a R9 5900X going to 114% usage and I wanted to know if anyone has any idea what the problem is, I dont have other parts to test and here is what I have of information so far:
    I start to notice that the cooler was always going 100% and temps were always in 90-95C so I enable the temp limit on PBO on 75C and for my surprise didnt lose any perfomance, still boosting and holding nicely on almost 5GHz on cinebench.
    Previous to that I was only using PBO with no temp limit.
    I already tested with PBO desable, clean windows 11 and windows 10 instalation, BIOS reset to default and the problem of the temperature is still there, but the last time I was doing the test I notice that the CPU utilization was over 100%.
    I started to notice this problem back when the pump of my old AIO stopped working (It was a Lian Li Galahad 360mm AIO 2020 edition, so it had the clogging problem), I though the problem was only temperature because one of the tubes wasnt even flowing water anymore but even with another cooler the temperature problem continues and I dont know if it has relation to the CPU usage problem.
    On Task Manager it only shows 100% usage because the graph can only go up to 100%.
    My PC spec:
    CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X
    Cooler: Pichau Dark Star P1 Extreme
    Motherboard: ROG B550 Strix Gaming A
    RAM: 4x16GB XPG D60G CL18 3600MHz
    GPU: RX 570 4GB SAPPHIRE PULSE
    PSU: Corsair RM850X White (2018)
    Fans: 9 Lian Li Unifans SL 120mm
    Case: Lian Li O11D

    Well bad news then - you need DLSS at 4k even on a 4090 to achieve 60FPS with RT on:
    As to if it will last you 4-5 years - seriously doubt it. With Intel closing the gap in the GPU market and AMD practically neck-a-neck with Nvidia, i think we are 1 or maximum 2 generations from real performance boost where competition will seriously force them to innovate. AMD are about to launch 3D cache GPUs and if they have the success of the CPUs, well that 4090 might be obsolete in basically a year, similar to the 3090.

    The fans wouldn't effect power draw as much as CPU GPU.
     
    I'd say go for it. You should be fine. but you won't have any headroom.
     
    I would look into undervolting the CPU and GPU anyways, you can lower a surprisingly amount of voltage before loosing performance or stability.
    also lowers the temps which helps with everything.

    Depends in which games you wanna "enjoy the candy". Currently only Cyberpunk 2077 is worth the performance drop. All the rest which are supposed to support RT it's a pointless exercise in resource waste. And in Cyberpunk pretty much only the 4090 is able to tackle the RT, especially at 4k w/o the lame frame generation. As for the aesthetics - you can always get a watercooler RGB card and set the RGB to white.

    Well you redid all the windows software so that only leaves the bios stuff and hardware.

    Just noticed this - that's a LOT of negative pressure - read: dust build-up potential - going on.
    6 in, 6 out might be a better config., but... it's your machine.

    The VRM's shouldn't be an issue for stock use, only for overclocking (the CPU).  If the VRM's couldn't handle a stock 5900X, they wouldn't offer BIOS support in the first place.

    You can, but make sure the BIOS is updated with the existing CPU before you drop the 5900X in.

    Grabbed this from the ASRock support page...

    You might be pleasantly surprised by the performance. The Steel Legend doesn't have a super beefy VRM but it can handle an overclocked 8 core CPU. I wouldn't doubt a 5900X reaching strong boost clocks on that motherboard, especially in what looks like a good airflow setup in your case.
