That's not what im asking, im asking why I am having to use XTU to manually adjust VCORE rather than what has been set in the BIOS.

I have been using debaurs manual 5ghz 24/7 preset in my maximus xi gene, the adaptive one has always been unstable and I just assumed it was because my 9900K wasnt very good. I was preparing my system for sale and running prime95 to ensure everything was stable and good for the new owner.... then I noticed than Intels XTU/CPU-Z/CPUID HW Monitor where all showing different values for the VCORE and none of them were showing 1.35v for it (which is the preset). So I used XTU to push an extra 0.1v into the VCORE and it's sitting at 80C direct die water cooled while running prime95, does this sound right? What is going on?

Why? Worst case scenario is that the motherboard won't post with the 1st gen cpu

Exactly and I would need to buy a decent ITX board too Good point, i'll make sure to note which bios versions work if I do decide to go with a 1st gen

I've recieved some DMs and spoken to some enthusiasts who've tested it and 1st gen works on their boards Just as an FYI in my original question I stated "I know officially it's not supported" I was trying to find people who have tested it or have read articles confirming one way or the other.

Fair point, I was hoping to use B550 or X570 as they support better memory tuning although it's interesting that you note the X570-E supports gen 1, i'll research that

whoa, no need to be so passive aggressive ! https://www.techquila.co.in/1st-gen-ryzen-7-1800x-x570-motherboard/ https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/news/amd-ryzen-first-gen-cpu-run-on-x570-motherboard https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/news/gigabyte-first-gen-ryzen-af-cpus-x570-motherboards 1800X working on an X570 for example, I was hoping to compare notes with people who have experience with it or were knowledgable on the subject I want to sell my ATX water cooled system now as I don't want to transport it to University as i'm going back to study my MBA, plus i'll get more money for it now.

I want to transition from my 9900K rig to a Zen 3 ITX PC, can I use a Ryzen 1700 as a stop gap before I can buy a 4800X/4900X in September? I know officially it's not supported but i've read that some people have got it working, specifically it's on an ROG Strix B550-I

Do/can they do any of the encoding work or is that all on the CPU/GPU?

Okay I thought so, I just had some bad advice which didn't make sense RE GPU encoding How about capture cards, i'm confused as to what they actually do after looking at a few?

I just wanted some advice to get it clear in my own mind to make sure i'm not wasting money. CPU encoding - Is the most wasteful as highest impact on the game played/other streaming processes GPU encoding - how much impact does that have on CPU/GPU usage? NVENC...etc Capture card - I find this most confusing, there seems to be a few different types, does this take load off the CPU if used in a single PC setup? Is it still worth buying a completely seperate PC for streaming?

Hi i'm furiously googling but I can't find anything so I was wondering if it was possible to buy more matching fans for the GT501 case?

I mean if you've got nothing else better to do, give it a try but please be careful and respect the fact that you're dealing with dangerous/costly subject matter This idea is as old as watercooling, however just bear in mind that the water will heat up over time even with an i3 if you try to cover it, you've got to give the water an avenue to evaporate

Im getting an itch to replace mine with an IPS 240+ display now that i've replaced my 1080ti with a 2080ti, if you get one, let me know how you like it please?

there's also this one as well o_O https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc-trio-rtx-2080-ti-classic-rgb-nickel-pl I R CONFUSED.

I was wondering what the difference is between these two blocks, is the metal plate for reinforcing it or something? https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-vector-trio-rtx-2080-ti-d-rgb-nickel-plexi https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc-trio-rtx-2080-ti-classic-rgb-nickel-pl Are there any other good waterblocks for it?

Yep, they worked! Not sure why but I thought there was variation on threads

I've bought some SilverStone SST-FN123 fans and 20mm M3 bolts, hopefully the threads match my radiator!

How do you mount them as the screws that come with the radiator will either been too short or too long? Are there any less expensive options than the Noctua as I would be buying 6x of these?

Top 360mm: There isn't really enough clearance to the motherboard/ram so I would like to try some slim fans to make it a little less crowded plus with 2x360mm I dont need lots of fan power Front 360mm: I want to run a push/pull arrangement in my case, I tried fitting some normal 25mm thick fans to the front of my meshify s2 but it causes the front mesh panel to bulge and the front panel doesnt really fit properly and unfortunately with my res I can't mount it push pull behind the case mounting point. Also what screws would I use as the ones that come with the radiator would obviously be too long?

Thanks for all the replies guys, feels like the standard NF-A14 is the best noise to performance ratio for a 140mm radiator fan? I wanted something quiet as I'm building this system for when I go back to uni in September to study an MBA but can also keep the 9900KF nice and cool.

Im thinking about getting one of these to go with my NZXT H1 when it arrives, I was wondering if the iPPC-3000 is the same noise as the regular Noctua NF-A14 at the same RPM... but with a much higher ceiling? Is the Noctua NF-A14 still the best aftermarket fan for a radiator?

For anyone with the same issue, these wont working in a z390 master, the thread size is too small... I wasted some money on them. This is what you need

Gigabyte replied and said the far screws are for the heatsink retention and are not designed to be removed. They're also going to post out replacement parts to me today, so I guess it's not a massive issue!

My original motherboard had two sets of stand offs, the rma replacement only had one. Thanks for the link, I hope they have the same thread as my motherboard
