  1. Already have that. The nitro+ has this too but I use a different one. So in other words, you say just enjoy the powerfull card? What about power usage? If I wanted to reduce it, which option should I use?
  2. Hi, so 2 weeks ago I've bought myself the sapphire 7700xt nitro+. This thing is a beast! BEST CARD I EVER HAD! It runs no hotter then 55 degrees. It looks like a beast too. This card is really AMAZING and I enjoy it so much! However, I heard a few things about undervolting which is beneficial for the card, especially it's lifespan (not that I'm worried, this card is a tank). I'm not worried about the temps either since 55 degrees is like legit the most coolest card I've ever had. Why I want to do this is cause it might expand the lifespan+it's great for powersaving. I see that I have another option: Hypr RX Eco mode. Which limits the fps and actually downclocks the card as well. Hypr RX is also nice to have, since you then see what the card is almost capable of and how powerfull and enjoyable it is, but then the card consumes power and needs to work a bit. Which is "the best" optimal option for this card? Should I just leave it for what it is and just plug and play with hypr rx/standard option on? (FPS and cooling is no problem at all, just the power and lifespan might be a problem but not too worried) Is there any feedback regarding these options? Specs: -R5 7600 non x (no pbo), msi tomahawk b650 wifi, corsair vengeance ddr5 6000mhz cl30 32gb, kingston kc3000 1tb -for the moment, a bad xfx rx590 gpu that makes tons of noises due to fancurve (else it goes to 90 degrees) -1080p144hz1ms 24 inch display from lg (labeled "a" as well) -case: fractal design meshify 2 -psu: corsair rmx 750w 80+ gold Due to me playing 1080p144hz, the gpu will be used lightly for the time being as games get heavier, so does the gpu usage. Which is exacly what I want, cause I want to use the card for as long as possible. So in other words, I have room to undervolt without losing fps at all in games.
  3. Thank you! Jay even said that cpu's don't use that much power. Gpu's do. So should I set PBO back to auto? Because I've disabled it to save power. Not that it'll lower the temps. Btw I got the arctic freezer duo r34.
  4. I know AMD cpu's and certainly the 7000 series run hot, but I was just wondering, when I should start worrying. I've observed my cpu from the start and in idle everything is fine. At the start it starts to spike around 63 degrees, then it goes back to the stable 45 degrees. Warframe: Now only today, I saw a spike which was the highest it has ever been. 80 degrees. And it was when I was gaming, jumping from loading screen to loading screen. It went up to 80 degrees, and stayed there for couple of seconds, and then backed down to 50 degrees. This isn't so heavy CPU bound. PBO is disabled. It's a waste of energy for me atm. I play at 1080p and the games aren't even heavy. I'll put it on when I need to. Could set it to auto but don't know if that would help... CPUfancurves have been manually adjusted: 30 degrees/35%, 40 degrees/50%, 60 degrees/70% and 80 degrees/100% Now I read everywhere that amd cpu's can get hot, but just to be sure, spikes of 80-85 degrees was still normal right? As long as it doesn't stay there, right? Specs: MSI Tomahawk b650, Ryzen5 7600 non x, Corsair vengeance 32gb DDR5 6000mhz CL30 expo, kingston KC3000 1tb, XFX RX590 (should be a 7700xt soon), fractal design meshify 2, psu: corsair rmx 750w, LG 1080p144hz1ms 24inch display
  5. In a week, I'll buy a sapphire pulse 7700xt. But I don't like it when my system uses too much power. Electricity is expensive where I live so I need to be carefull. This is where undervolting/silent bios mode comes in. However, eventhough, there are guides, I don't thrust myself enough with them. Cause I have half a clue of what I'm doing. So thats why I choose to auto undervolt, which is kind off the easy way. Is silent bios mode going to be a better option? Can I stack both? Is it good or bad? Which way is the best way for energy efficiency while staying cool and quiet? system specs: -R5 7600 non x (no pbo), msi tomahawk b650 wifi, corsair vengeance ddr5 6000mhz cl30 32gb, kingston kc3000 1tb -for the moment, a bad xfx rx590 gpu that makes tons of noises due to fancurve (else it goes to 90 degrees) -1080p144hz1ms 24 inch display from lg (labeled "a" as well) -case: fractal design meshify 2 -psu: corsair rmx 750w 80+ gold
  6. 7600 non x is going to be there untill AM6 is out. Then a year afterwards, AM5 CPU's will be cheaper, by then I can hit one with more cores so that I can get on for a few more years. So this leaves us with the GPU. I guess I need to stretch that extra cash then for a 16gb vram card? Damn, I was hoping to save some here, but meh, I'll try! Thank you for the recommendations!
  7. Yes, I have the case already and the psu, both great. PSU: 750w gold and meshify 2 case. Where I wanted to go with this is a 7600 non x and DDR5 6000mhz cl30 32gb. I was considering the 6700xt since it's so low in price. But for me these major factors count: price, energy efficiency and future proofing (I know this doesn't exist but still, I want to be able to hold on to this for 5+ years) To conclude everything, I'm trying to build a bit of a budget pc but still future proof enough that it still could be viable for the next 5+ years and motherboard and ram even 10 years. So in other words, do I need 16gb of vram for 1080p? Or is 12 enough for 5+ years?
  8. What about the 6750xt for 1080p? It's 480 euro's instead of 600 euro's for the 7800xt. How long can I last with this?
  9. I live in belgium. Pricings are VERY different here. 540 euro's for the 7700xt hellhound and 600 for the 7800xt hellhound. But 493 euro's for the xfx 7700xt qwck and 600 euro's for the 7800xt. In the US, price ranges are way closer... And it was the 6800, which draws way too much power and it does matter because eletrical bills are expensive here just like everything... 6800xt is rare to get and its 650 euro's. 6800 is like 520 or something. Availabilty is super rare here so... 6700xt is cheap but, as I said above, not in my best interest as I would not survive for very long. It was just a matter of choosing the right brand since the prices fluctuate massively here brand vs brand.
  10. Problem is, 6700xt is too low for 1080p144hz. I would not survive 5 years with this... 6800 draws way too much power. And availability is really rare. I can only choose between 6800 sapphire pulse (3 fan design) and xfx 6800 swft (bad cooler) Cpu would be a 7600 non x.
  11. Hi, so there are a few key factors for me when buying a new graphics card. 1) I want to keep it as long as possible 2) Budget 500 euro's (hellhound is 540 because it was sold out in another shop, at this point I can even start looking at 7800xt but only from sapphire pulse) 3) it has to be quiet, cool and the least power draw. This is why I don't like the 6800. But the 16gb of vram is an eyecatcher. 4) I do have a bad experience with xfx but they seem to have made good coolers now. So if needed, I can look into this. The brands I'm keeping an eye out are: Sapphire pulse or hellhound I hoped to buy whatever is cheapest (sapphire pulse). I've watched reviews and Sapphire usually is good enough but for some reason, I don't like the power draw and temps. Hellhound is cooler and has less power draw. So which one?
  12. Ok, I'll go for the msi then. I don't think m.2 gen 5 will be that important for the future and it's on sale and it's cheaper so for me now it's better. Anyway, thanks alot for the help!
  13. Thank you for the fast response. The board is going to be used for a VERY long time since I plan to play all the way untill ryzen 9000 or even 11000 series comes out if it still supports it by then and get one of the last supported AM5 cpu's. What are the bios like? I'm not going to use pbo right away because I don't wanna draw too much power and I wanna keep my cpu cool. But if I do decide to run pbo, VRM cooling would matter right? Well the gigbyte seems to have better VRM cooling, saw it in the "35 motherboards comparison" video. But on the other hand the MSI one is cheaper so... Either way, I just don't wanna miss out on anything for the future...
