ThreePeenSoup reacted to rcmaehl in Updating chipset drivers
Yes
Plug in the computer
No. It's a driver update, not a firmware update.

ThreePeenSoup reacted to Jurrunio in Switching PCIe ports with NVMe SSD
That heatsink does nothing functional to the SSD. Blocking it in there reduces airflow in the first place so it wont run meaningfully cooler. It's more of a heat trap than a heat sink.
As for performance, if you're on Ryzen then the SSD in the heatsink will run slower because it has to share bandwidth with other devices connected to the chipset. Unless you're on X570 with Zen 2 Ryzen, since the chipset runs PCIe 4.0 instead.

ThreePeenSoup reacted to Fasauceome in Switching PCIe ports with NVMe SSD
you can move any SSD's location without losing data, but in the case you outlined, it would be pointless, as you're populating both slots with a 970 evo and M.2 heat sinks are aesthetic only.

Base of heatsink to top of cooler.
Moved to Air Cooling.

ThreePeenSoup got a reaction from Mateyyy in Thermaltake AIOs
Yea that's the plan. I was going to get a corsair h100i but i'm really not into the whole AIO thing as I thought. I know they're generally manufactured properly but the law of averages always screws me so I'm just going to go back to air cooling. dark rock has a neat mobo compatibility check plus the pic on the dark rock pro 4 page shows the clearance of an ASUS board with the same ram that I have.

ThreePeenSoup got a reaction from xg32 in Is this artifacting, and could i get some help please?
Yea that's an RMA.

ThreePeenSoup reacted to badreg in Odd Vcore behavior
Normal. Vcore is read in ±0.016v increments by software, so it's ±1 step from your specified voltage. No VRM is completely stable, and a ripple of ±0.016v is not going to harm anything.

ThreePeenSoup reacted to Opencircuit74 in +12v Rail showing 11.808v
You're right, once the voltages approach those limits you can see some instability, but as you said OP is fine.

ThreePeenSoup got a reaction from Mister Woof in Worst 8700k ever?
Yea I'm not seeing much max temp difference between 4.5ghz 1.26v and 4.6ghz 1.28v
So far i've run an hour of occt big data set and 5 realbench benchmark runs + cinebench one right after the other and the max temp was 86c which is an outlier like the min temp. I see average temps of 68 - 76c
Gonna throw a few games at it see what hitches. Thank you for your help.
Hit 88c with cinebenchr20

ThreePeenSoup reacted to Jurrunio in BIOS Update Maximus X Formula
I dont understand either. the BIOS settings are all written to the BIOS chip itself, which gets wiped and written to during the BIOS flashing process. It's just like saying you have to format your drives first before installing Windows when Windows installer can already wipe partitions for you.
