    92 peak is fine as, in regular gaming, it's at 85-86. 100 peak is not good at all because you're in danger territory then.

    MacBooks are basically the exact same story as the XPSes. Not sure why you'd recommend them.

    Yeah, based on my experience with MSI laptops - I wouldn't recommend them at all. The PCB design is extremely shit and the cooling is not great despite the massive numbers of heatpipes. I personally blame this on the tiny heatsinks that can't cool the heat being transferred to them so you just end up with a hot mess.

    Userbenchmark is useless - it's a fraudulent website filled with skewed and manipulated data. Besides, it's painfully clear he's thermal throttling.

    There's a Witcher 3 remake of Witcher 1 in the works. You can play the prologue with 3's controls here: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2767/? And just watch the remainder of the story on YouTube. Then move on to Witcher 2 and 3

    You won't be able to find a 300$ laptop with an i5 or Ryzen 5. At best you can get a Ryzen 3 3200U.

    Sounds like either a defective board or power supply if the DOCP toggle was also causing it.

    Revert the locked system to default and use it as stock.
  9. 5x5
    revert everything to default and use it as is.

    System?

    To be honest, the overclock is not worth it all considering you're overclocking via BCLK and that pushes EVERYTHING inside the CPU. Couple with the voltage, thermals and etc and you just REALLY shouldn't be doing this at all. Unless the goal is to destroy the system, that is, then keep going.

    Whichever is cheapest when you're buying the CPU - don't buy the RAM 2 months in advance.

    1.5 should be safe. But 1.6 is on the high side for DDR3 so the 1.35v stick may not handle that.
  14. 5x5
    At 95*C no. Keep it under 85
  15. 5x5
    Also don't overvolt your RAM, you'll kill it. This is DDR3
  16. 5x5
    Those temperatures are not safe...
  17. 5x5
    Anything past 3800 is not useful. Focus on latency since that impacts performance more after 3600
  18. 5x5
    B550 TuF is the best one in terms of VRM quality and BIOS

    Consider a SeaSonic Core GM or a Be Quiet Pure Power Gold

    The issue is it will be sucking in hot air from the AIO exhaust and that's not great in the best case and horrible in the worst case. Is argue a carpet mount is better

    Won't work. The connector won't be the same, the power needed to drive them won't be the same and the firmware won't recognize them most likely.
  22. 5x5
    Depends on the system. The ToughPower are fine for entry level builds but I would not use them in a higher one.

    Like I said, it's virtually impossible to hit anything higher than 106 as the laptop shuts down. Clearly evident by the Dell G5 where it maxes out at 105.6 with its horrid cooler. 112 would not be a reading as it would have shut down long before. Most certainly them using HWMonitor which applies a +20*C offset. Same with CpU-Z and Realtemp. Only HWiNFO and Ryzen Master will give accurate thermals. HWMonitor, for example, reports 135 on the Dell G5 but that's also impossible

    Not necessarily. I expect supply will be reshuffled from other markets and internal allocation will change (keep in mind Zen 3 is in production alongside Zen 2 ATM). I expect this to be resolved as soon as Zen 3 launches and Zen 2 production halts. That would allow the fab space to be shifted over to Renoir and Zen 3 entirely.

    Oh lol skip that immediately. Refurbished VN Nitro with no warranty. Recipe for disaster. The VN is known for its massive heat issues
