Tech Reprise

I am pretty bad at maths I Recently got hold of 10 99.9% Iso propyl alcohol bottles of 250ml each for total of $5. I want to dilute them to 70%. So how much water should I add to 250ml to make overall concentration to 70% from 99.9%

Need clearer pictures to determine if there is any huge damage to the traces. From the pic itself it looks like the varnish layer was scraped off and since the motherboard is working just keep it as it is and don't fiddle with it anymore. And if you still are worried about it then take it to a repair shop and get solder mask applied on it.

I have used G102 Lightsync which seems to be the G203 for the Asian markets and didn't like the feel of the mouse. The sensor was kinda sluggish at times.

I got a Razer Cobra after my Viper Mini died and now after 6 months the scroll has stopped responding properly in scroll up movements and it scroll only half a step compared to scroll down movement. Razer just to make the Viper Lineup "Premium" retired the Viper Mini -_- Any suggestions for some wired mice with similar specs and good switch in the same price range as a Razer Cobra?

Did you try a new PSU? One of my friends had the exact same Kernel 41 error and after RMA'ing his CPU, RAM and even trying a spare GT710 as display output instead of his 6900xt it turned out that his Antec Signature 1300 was faulty and was outputting wrong voltages. Memtest in itself is a pretty comprehensive Memory tester but to test the stability atleast run it for a few more hours atleast 8-10 or overnight would be the best. But first try out a new PSU.

System is stable but is this difference in Tctl/Tdie and Average temps because my 3rd core clocked higher and had a sudden spike in temps for a few seconds? Core 3 and 5 are my best and second best cores and they sustain the 4.65Ghz speed for the longest as is evident from the average clock speeds across all cores.

Thank you, will try out OCCT with the parameters you mentioned.

Reapply the thermal paste and check again or Do you have another AM4 tha you can borrow for testing the CPU? If not then RMA the cooler, most likely the microfins on the copper plate are clogged leading to less cooling.

What stability tests would you recommend? I already did P95 and Occt AVX2 Variable test for a few hours and there were no crashes or errors in Event viewer.

Does the pump output any RPM when this is happening? I am also suspecting that the pump is failing leading to the higher temps as there is no liquid circulation. You should ask EK first as they might send you a shipping label to send it back to them for checking, this should take a lesser time than RMA'ing via a middleman (Dealer).

Great. That is what I wanted. I just wanted lower temperatures in summer and some stability. Btw is this safe for the CPU in the long run as I am restricting the CPU instead of overclocking it.

After eco mode clock speeds in cinebench have dropped to 3.8-3.9 from 4.1-4.2 and the occasional boost to 4.65 is not seen which might give the lower multicore speed. However while playing games it does boost to 4.6Ghz. No, I didn't allow any OC as I wanted to undervolt and reduce temps with as much stability as possible which my previous offset undervolts and fixed core ratio weren't giving. Now I had tried -25 All core without any PPT/EDC/TDC set and it crashed.

I posted few days back that my CPU (5700X) was reaching 80°C while gaming. Today I spent a few hours optimising it and here are my results. Ambient: 36C Stock PBO Auto BF1- 72°C Apex- 75°C CBR23- 74°C (13684/1517) Aida64- 75°C Eco mode + Curve Optimiser BF1- 67°C Apex- 70.4°C CBR23- 62°C (12905/1537) Aida64- 63.5°C Curve Optimiser -17 all cores except core 3&5 which are -9 as they are best cores as oer Ryzen Master. So far stable. While the temps didn't decrease as much I would expect but they are atleast under or around 70C. The voltage now barely touches 1.3V except in some sudden boosts where for a fraction it touches 1.35V. My clocks are around 3.9Ghz in benchmarks and 4.65Ghz in games and I didn't see any clock stretching so far. Btw as per Ryzen master while stress testing my PPT, TDC is in red/yellow zone. So is this a cause for concern?

Another update. I removed the TechYesCity manual UC+UV as it was making the PPT and EDC too high and I removed eco mode too as the difference in temps while gaming was not too much and moreover it was showing clock stretching in some cases. For the time being I am letting it stay on factory settings and not fiddling as I will play at night time when it's a bit cooler plus it's too much of a headache for me.

Update: I turned off the manual underclocking I did previously and turned on Eco Mode in bios and now temps are now lower and performance only took a minor hit by 687 points in Cinebench R23.
