It kinda fits, not my example, but the one I’m following

I’m moving cases to a lighter one, that being the fractal torrent. Right now I’m using this 420 freezer AIO from arctic. Massive fan of it’s preformace so far. Any tips or ideas for what else I could do to liven it up? I would send pictures but I haven’t gotten the torrent in yet. specs (colors) 13600k, (good luck seeing it, but it’s silver) msi 690 pro ddr4. (Black with silver/light grey) Fractal Torrent (Black one with dark tint) Asrock Formula OC (Grey, black, gold OC logo on backplate, green trim on shroud) ram (normal black vengeance non rbg) Arctic (has some really cool silver colored stripes on it, kinda reminds me of pinstripes on old suits) plan so far is to take off the gpu shroud, and I’m going to either airbrush, probably for starters try to color the green strip to either silver, or gold to match the logo on the back plate. I do know I’ll have to trim a bit of the bottom bracket for the fans if the fan samples I saw online of people putting in the same cooler. Might do silver accents on the flat plastic panels with stencils and such. Any other ideas to add some flavor to it?

Above are my specs. MSI z690-a pro ddr4, PSU 1200 corsair I've had a somewhat recent issue after upgrading my board, CPU. Where recently when playing Path of exile and red dead 2 monitors show no signal at all and a sound bug happens where it just repeats the last tone played until I do a hard reset. No sign of the computer working, and also no fan ramping to max like id expect if the OS completely bugged out. The time between hard crashes is inconsistent. And no patterns I could tell, other than both games being Vulkan related, but so was world of warcraft and i had no issue with that. Also tried changing poe to Direct x 11, same issue. I ran every test in OCBase That I could, no issues after 2 hours of each test. Then I did a hour of both Cinabench r23 and furmark running at the same time. Same thing, no hard reset. GPU settings are as default as they can be, removed drivers with that tool you need to be in safe mode in for. and reinstalled them, same thing, CPU settings are default to my MSI board, abet with the voltage moved down just a tad so there is thermal headroom. Here be temps, abet thats during the cinabench r23 run after a hour of repeating the 10 minute cycles https://i.imgur.com/XRPLUyf.png And here is GPU temps in furmark https://i.imgur.com/r5fUnpH.png Eariler in the test, but it didnt change after a hour The power supply I tested in another computer with different hardware completely, as well as the ram, just normal DDR4 3600 vengance 2x8gb Windows I've done a keep personal files reinstall, as well as a clean one, no change. Not sure if its related, but my HDR monitor during red dead 2 kept going black and coming back due to HDR settings being strange, Assumed it was a windows issue, as the HDR was clearly working the whole time, and never had a issue with other games during HDR Edited: Also I had already updated Bios due to it being 13th gen on this motherboard, Made sure SSD were updated already. Edited 2: Downloaded MSI center, It showed the realtek audio was never installed, as well as some intel driver, Updated with that, Have not tested yet Edit 3: Still happening, repeat of same exact crash the night after MSI updates

I'll attempt it in a few days, as they don't ship too fast where I'm at

I watched gamers nexus video on it, wut makes that one more foolproof for the install? Just from a Allen wrench being able to do the turning degree required?

Just bought 13600k as the benchmarks looked like a pretty large upgrade from my 2700x. After a few hours redoing my entire build a few times to attempt to fix my mount, and airflow my cpu still is slamming into thermal throttling within maybe 1 or 2 seconds of r23 Attached image is the most recent thermal paste application, as well as hwmonitor and for the most part the pattern hasn't changes much. I heard that the MSI z690 voltage targets were pretty high? But with a arctic 420 rad with push pull going 100% fan speed it would handle everything a i5 would do. Is there really anything else I can try? I could also just be asking to much of a 420 rad i guess, ive overclocked client's units just fine with much less cooling than this, i guess its due to mount and this being a inferno? This Test was after changing the voltage to mode 9 instead of 12 as default, still feel like id get better numbers and temp with this amount, got 24000 in r23. I could be being stupid and unrealistic

Ye I have two kits I own, one 3200, and the other 3600. But if the cpu isn't working then hard to test ram atm

The AIO was for the future 7000x3d that will hopefully come out at least next year

Na I haven't tried the beta bios but I can try when I get home, and yes that 95 error popped up on my other b550 board I had to test, that has never had any GPU installed. Tried to do the remove all PCI E devices including wifi on board

Yeah I might try that tomorrow night if I don't end up returning the cpu. Rethinking if I just wanta try to get a AIO with the return money, or try to get another 5000 series to test if same issue

Obviously I'd want the 5800x3d, but that's 4x the price. And as for pins ye I checked those, checked it out of the box and the 3 or 4 times I took it out to clean between installs

I was wanting to see if Smart Access Memory or having a much more up to date CPU would help my cpu performance and my 6900xt, and my 2700x has been a little inconsistent with stability, and stuff like XMP, also the 5500 supported faster memory. (And it was in stock at work, so impulse buy) Maybe it was me also buying into the RDNA 2 stuff, was hoping it would do more than just the 12-14% improvement with base and overclocks are at face value

So while I was waiting on AMD to release hopefully a 7000 series 3d, I bought a 5500 because it was 120$ and in stock at work. Same day I brought it home and updated my Bios from 3.50 (Latest for my 2700x) to 4.70, which was the last stable version of bios my x470 Taichi MB has. Install went fine, but trying to boot I noticed it never fully went through all of the Dr debug codes like it should during the 3 restarts, it got hung up on the 2nd one, with the error 95. Tried to remove everything possible, cleared Cmos, same error. Tried all combos of ram I can do. Put in my old 2700x, and for some reason it boots? I was told this from Taichi's page, Do I assume that my bios update went poorly? or that I should just return the CPU? Pic of Bios and cpu Also Should I go back to the old bios 3.50 for my 2700x in the meantime?

Ryzen master in the current tab was showing the same thing as task manager, the picture was the current profile it should have been set to and was rebooted. Thermals I checked in HWmonitor and it read the same as the built in temp on the cpu cooler. During and idle it was about 30-33c

So I was helping someone with a issue they had on a 5950x, first thing they tried to go into bios for some reason and reset it. Running a dark hero x570 so I had to set the cpu fan to ignore with it having a AIO. Another issue that cropped up was it being locked to .54mhz and not going above it, also the core voltage wouldn't go above .9. Clearly this isn't right and cinabench r23 multicore was 8000. Tried several fixes like replacing the power cables, tried new ram, new psu Don't have a MB or a another cpu that's compatible. Tried turning off precision boost on both, having on either MB and ryzen master or both on, removed hibernation and tried setting windows power plans to max. Tried updating bios and flashing to a older one. Tried all three options of manual, auto boost and all presets. Tried linux distribution and a brand new windows one. Any fixes yall would recommend? Personally I told him to try to reach out to ROG and or amd about replacing them. Also don't have a picture for cinabench r23, but it was horrible and below a 120$ cpu
