  1. It's possible that this is due to power draw. I've got a Sapphire Nitro + 6900 with 2 8 pin power connectors and my Seasonic Gold 850 watt ATX PSU was tripping like it was an overload when the GPU is overclocked to the limit when playing Cyberpunk 2077 (not substantially more power). I swapped to a 1000 watt PSU of similar quality and my problems cleared up, so it's possible that's the issue depending on the power rail current limit and overload safety
  2. Hopefully you got a killer deal for the age of the hardware, the integrated on chip voltage regulation ended up making Haswell less fun to overclock but it was a pretty decent hold over up into the 8000 gen of Intel. I held onto mine until the 3900x dropped. Colour commentary aside, it is possible that a PSU on it's way out could have shortened the life of your other parts.
  3. Have you tried not running your ram at 3600? clock it down to 3200 and see if you get the same crashes. I would also suggest installing in the correct slots as per the manual. I'm just thinking perhaps you ended up with a weaker memory controller on the SoC and may have to bump it's voltage a touch like I have on one of my systems. The corruption on the SSD could easily be caused by memory instability or pcie bus instability due to the SoC not running stable. Before increasing your SoC voltage you should check to make sure it isn't already high.
  4. Knowing what settings you're trying to run the processor at could help figure this out. Without context I jump to thinking it's a mounting issue, although with the radiator setup the temperature of the room you're in may also matter if both components are heavily loaded. Just undervolting while attempting to hit what. edit: removed some content due to missing things in my first read of your post
  5. As a Canadian customer in Ontario (more than halfway across the country), just a rough rundown of what my experience was like. I ordered the AMD pillow during the livestream they announced the draw/incentive, that was Mar 17th according to my transaction record. I am currently looking at it to be arriving today or tomorrow, there was quite a delay before things got moving. I got my second email about the product being shipped on the 12th of April, so I would say creator warehouse is probably more than a little on the busy side considering how long it can take them to get to the shipping part of the order process. On a side note, the screwdriver is pretty fantastic I've got two and surprisingly it does feel worth the price.
  6. it's a mimic, quick kill it with fire
  7. In my defense the heat was getting to be too much, and even at reduced power consumption the fans were too much for sleeping beside. 6900xt seems to be handling its undervolt and dropped clocks pretty well though
  8. Well, I spent part of today tuning some under-volt of my GPU so that I can run my two systems off of the same UPS system, substantially dropped my power use while considerably increasing my production. Started folding on my HTPC as well, tomorrow should tell how that turns out
  9. Odd, looks like my stats aren't getting pulled properly. Meh, I was a slow start anyway and not likely to place in the top 100 this year maybe I typoed my folding name
  10. either that, or possibly a limited time closed access ticket sale thing. I find it difficult to believe they would have a public facing spot to enter an administrative password
  11. I would try a different cable just to be sure, but since your coming from a laptop that might not be a standard affair
  12. The pci bandwidth should not be the bottleneck, as long as you're giving it the full 16 lanes. There will be a "bottleneck", there always is, but the interface shouldn't be it. The cpu may be your bottleneck in certain circumstances where lower single core performance would limit your frame rate, but as long as you're playing with reasonable quality settings you should get most if not all of the performance capability of that card on most titles.
  13. I would imaging what your using to poll for the temperature could matter, Zen 2 tended to “wake” on temperature poll and would be in a warmer than rest state thanks to high boost clocks/voltage at low load. There’s also the matter of different OS versions, OS updates, background programs, quality of thermal paste application, flatness of your specific cooler and cpu, motherboard choice and bios version, ram/infinity fabric settings, case choice, fan choice and tuning, case placement in the room… needless to say there are a lot of factors not including silicon quality that can quickly add up to an extra few degrees or more
  14. it's called a memory bottleneck If you can't feed the cpu it won't be able to feed information to the GPU for it to generate frames, let alone load itself up properly. The SSD should be fast enough
  15. Typically for most motherboards they want your first sticks in slots 2 and 4, but it depends on the memory trace topology. Your boards manual only provides instructions for 2 or 4 sticks since you lose out on dual channel bandwidth/performance with one. I would suggest slot 2
  16. I mean, I sourced cards for a few friends at cost but... I was pretty clear that it was for their use and if they were going to scalp them to someone else I wanted at least a cut of that
  17. I was expecting to fall back further than this, had to shut down a little early due to noise and power use along with being mid teardown of one of my builds
  18. Sorry to hear that, hope you get it sorted out. Try not to let it stress you out too much, sometimes a break can help you look at it with fresh eyes F
  19. From my point and WU contribution you wouldn't know I've fired up the media machine to be folding too. It's smoothed out my points a little at least
  20. Folding month is always good for stress testing your hardware and setup to find any weaknesses. In your case it sounds like you either need a new UPS battery, or just a whole new unit. Sometimes the battery can be hard to find at a reasonable price, depending on the unit. I'm sure mine isn't happy about being run at 90%+ capacity for the last 11+ days
  21. both my 3950x and my 5800x are on tasks with over 2 days worth of time on them, should make my point distribution interesting I guess.
  22. I’ve been playing Diablo 1 evenings lately, folding doesn’t care too much. I really need to change over to the better AMD folding drivers, I’m using the better part of 800 watts for my paltry contribution between my two rigs
  23. I'm still creeping up the ranks, but my advance has slowed. Perhaps I should boot up the HTPC and get it folding as well, could always use a few hundred thousand extra points
  24. I'm not too excited, I had a few bad units due to accidentally forgetting to turn off a memory overclock on the 6900xt... I think I have it sorted now, but will be monitoring it
  25. Looks nice. I'm curious of how you like the Barrow pump block combo, I was considering it for a loop in the Lian Li Tu150. I managed to jam an NHD-15 onto my 5800x in that case but it just doesn't get the airflow needed to keep that furnace coolf Just interested for the purposes of getting one of the gaming/folding boxes more quiet, I only just booted the 5800x/6900xt build because of how much I was lagging behind
