    That is true but luckily I was able to swap out serval ddr5 and possible sway a few from getting it right now, because how bad would it be you pay double on ebay and one of the sticks are bad. I haven't had good luck with ebay..do I get my money yea, but wait almost 3months once due to the seller fighting back it was a pain and some out there can't afford to buy another set in the mean time so learning people's experiences are helpful. But if you want to adopt to DDR5 you need to be an enthusiast and willing to accept those challenges if they arise.

    The microcenter near me has been getting a steady supply in for a week as I have been to microcenter atleast 6 times returning items due to not being able to have my z690 boot into windows...right now I will say don't get an Asus z690-F as I couldn't even get into bios unless I flashback but then was having memory errors. Now have a MSI Carbon (what I wanted in the first). Even MC was having issues with their hand picked pc by Intel Asus z690-f. Look at it wrong blue screen. Anyways on my MSI mobo I was using the G.skill T5 5600mhz and couldn't boot into windows with xmp on. Ended up firing one of the sticks. So got the basic 64gig Crucial kit and haven't had any issues in 48hours. So IMO they need to work on the memory side but I have heard/seen they have been flashing the wrong XMP profiles on the memory. Who knows.

    Pi network doesn't use power to mine..apparently never read up on how it works..it uses the internet like router mining..but the more people in your group the better the security. Its still in beta.

    I basically already did that and it has helped..

    So I have had issues with my 3090 as well that I have taken the route of putting a heatsink with high conductive thermal pads as well has a fan duct to direct air right over the backplate. It has allowed it to stop throttling and allowed it to clock higher. When I can get a waterblock for my card I will be getting one as long as it as a active backplate as well.

    So I have a gigabyte Aorus 3090 Master and as I play games everything is fine. But when I am not using my card for gaming I am having it mine crypto. Some of you probably disagree and some will not. But all and all I am having an issue with the card throttling. I have heard the memory gets hot and as for it being a 3090 is has memory modules on the back. I used a thermal laser to get temp and at one spot it was reading 70c even though the gpu was at nice 49c maxed out. So I have figured out why it was throttling(I hope), but now my question is should I try to RMA it or is this something that is common? I have found some issues on it and right now I have a 40mm fan blowing on it to see if it will help.

    I am working on a friends laptop and the screen is tearing/freezing. How can I fix this issue? He just using it for web browsing . I also attached some pictures of the issue.

    Also ambient temp matters as well too. Normally my room is 21c but when it started getting hot outside it would become 30c and when I stress test at 30c ambient I hit 90+ but at 21c I hit high 70s- low 80's. So depending on how hot your room is that is a factor as well. Also are you using your AIO as a intake or exhaust? I recommend intake over exhaust.

    At what usage when playing gta v? Mine is around 54c..(I have a 9900k as well. But a custom waterloop with 360mm rad space total though.) Thinking of possibly upgrading my 120 to a 360.
  14. Livinloud
    If you still get an issue it could be possible your AIO isn't working.

    TDP is what the cpu does at "base clock" and wants it goes over base clock so does the wattage. Example from what I have seen from AMD on the new cpu's. If it's base is 3.2ghz then 65watts is what it's rated TPD is but when it boost then it is above that. But I may be wrong lol.

    should still work the same just you may have to reactivate windows is all and update drivers. But I have had no issues booting up from my SSD or NVM.2 that I have upgraded components with.

    So after talking to seasonic and the company they recommend I buy from via email I was able to establish most psu made with in the last few years of "seasonic only" the cables are interchangeable. I now have found out my seasonic prime 1000watt titanium is a fully functional unit and works really well. I have not attempted yet to overclock to draw power yet. But I will attempt that first before actually putting it in my every day rig.

    Found a 550watt seasonic for $25 with all the cables. Its being delivered next week. Seasonic sent me to a website with all the cables and I then proceeded to email that company and confirmed the cables seasonic sent me work in both so just only $25 to see if it works and if it doesn't I just sell that 550watt psu and be a wash basically. Hope I win though!

    wasn't stolen...just from a return pallet store front.
  21. Livinloud
    It was from an Amazon return place called its $5. Most everything I have gotten there has worked. Now this I'm not sure, so it's a gamble well at the time..couldnt find the psu cables but I'm sure they were there somewhere..just people there open the packaging and let it all fall out so they ruin shit like that. But I did not know you can mix modular cables because they won't be the same. If I knew that I wouldn't have pick it up...but the time I thought I had a chance to make some real money lol.
  22. Livinloud
    I got this power supply for $2.50..I don't know for certain if it works as I don't have any of the modular cables and looks like it will cost around hundred to get them all. (Cablemods, maybe a little under). My question is this an idea I should try getting those or just cut my loss? I currently have a evga 750watt platinum.

    Alright I used a dishwasher on a motherboard that didn't have the cpu with it and noticed it was missing a ram slot that was apparently ripped out so can't test it but I did put in the dishwasher with no additives and on delicate setting. It came out looking brand new and nothing was missing from what I could tell. I will test this through out the week when I have more time to clean everything and able to put a system together.

    Dust is caked on and items came from an old mining rig. The cpus had paste caked on but just 2mins with a cotton ball and some pressure it came off. Just where they had this mining rig they were smokers. At I can tell on the gpus.
  25. Livinloud
    ya I like the dishwasher idea. Do I use any soap though? I know I need to take the heatsinks off the gpus and battery out of the motherboard. Only thing that sucks is I have only one cpu socket cover and like 5mobos..I don't really wanna do this process over 5 times lol. Anything to protect the pins on the motherboard?
