    Is there a reason you're building a system with a 9400 rather than a modern CPU with SMT?
  2. 5x5
    That's your issue. You moved to a VERY different platform and didn't reinstall the OS - massive driver and firmware conflicts.

    Enable XMP/DOCP and leave the rest at stock if you don't know what you're doing.
  4. 5x5
    Did you reinstall the OS?

    Rossmann mentions the thermals every other video and how they contributed to the failure of components around the board. The part that will fail is not the CPU itself, it's everything around it that also heats up as a result.

    I mean the cables themselves. They also have labels as the pinouts are different on the cables.

    Quite a few of them do actually for. Most I've seen have heavy board warping around the CPU and GPU and that has caused something to fall apart due to the heat cycling of the solder. It's why Apple only offer a 1-year-warranty by default. If you run a MacBook at 100*C and heavy load often, it dies relatively quickly. Sat after 2-3 years in average.

    Are you sure the CPU power connects and PCIe power connectors are in the correct places and not swapped?
  9. 5x5
    Is the display plugged into the GPU?
  10. 5x5
    Yes
  11. 5x5
    You have to reinstall the OS when changing platforms else you will likely have issues due to firmware and driver conflicts.

    At the minimum get a proper power supply. A CX550 or a System Power 9 500W. Preferably a Be Quiet Pure Power Gold or SeaSonic Core GM 500W. Make sure to get an SSD with a DRAM cache and a case with front Intake ventilation. Either a 3300X or 3600. Don't get a 2600. You could also wait for Zen 4 in a month. Also, consider a B550 Gaming K4 or TuF

    Just because it says EVGA on the box doesn't mean something is automatically good. Check the tier list, check reviews and consider whether you want to trust a power supply that has been abused to the point of ending up on B stock rather than as an RMA part.

    Why even bother with the 9980? It's slower, requires more power, produces more heat and is 4 times more expensive. I don't see a reason to get that at all.
  15. 5x5
    B stock means not in proper condition externally and also refurbished. It's essentially a used part. I would advise you to get a new power supply with full warranty as this is the part responsible for all of your components sagety

    That power supply is an actual fire hazard. Get rid of it before it destroys the system because it's a fairly common occurrance with the TR2
  17. 5x5
    You're looking at 4.2 all core for the most part. You can't clock 16 cores insanely high without LN2 because the heat density makes it impossible to cool down.
  18. 5x5
    You don't get it, pushing a 3950X to 5GHz requires extremely voltage that will destroy the CPU if you run it at such settings daily. These voltages are only used for setting records and scrapping the used parts.
  19. 5x5
    It heavily depends on what you're doing. If all you're playing is Brood War then even a single core Athlon 64 is plenty. If you want to play RDR2 then 6 cores/threads minimum and 8 recommended.
  20. 5x5
    In whether you need a good CPU or not. The intel models of the Envy are not great. That i3 and the optional i5 are heavily power and thermal limited. Thr laptop itself is good but the Ryzen 4000 models are MUCH better as they run cooler, quieter, faster and with longer battery life due to the far more efficient 7nm AMD CPUs
  21. 5x5
    You won't be able to cool that setup without LN2. It'll be quite similar to Chernobyl
  22. 5x5
    Why? The 4th gen i5 ULVs are two times slower than a modern Ryzen 3 3200U
  23. 5x5
    That's the least of that models problems.
  24. 5x5
    It's above max safe so yes. As a rule of thumb on laptops - under 90*C if you want to keep the device for longer than a year or two.
  25. 5x5
    You're looking at a Ryzen 3 3200U. 4300U if you're VERY lucky. I doubt you'll get a good display or more than 4GB RAM. I believe there are some cheap IdeaPad and Aspire models for those prices.
