JBOD or RAID0? Then I'm out of suggestions, just have not used either. -
AIO can't really hurt, that's for sure.
-
So it this a single 4TB drive? If so, then using some partitioning software would do the trick, something like MiniTool Partition Wizard, would be good to know before though how to use it... some googling or YT video should explain. If you want to keep the files from all the partitions then you'd need to manually copy them though. And making a backup copy of the drive would be a good first step.
-
Yeah, that air cooler should cool 7800X3D far better... perhaps not enough thermal paste or case cooling is inadequate.
-
If you have any kind of warranty for the GPU then that's the best case scenario.
-
To make sure if it's the CPU/MoBo or the GPU I'd test the GPU on another system if possible and then continue with the results as to me it seems GPU might or might not be the problem 100%... more likely at least seems to me that it's a GPU issue. As for the fix, don't really know what to recommend if it's a GPU issue.
-
Yea, the top slot is usually for GPUs
-
Would not hurt I think. 3 slots for GPUs, all should be compatible with 16x GPU I think, as they are reinforced with metal "shields"
-
Yeah, DOCP is XMP, just called different on intel/AMD platforms some times. Just for testing purposes - tried different PCIe slot for GPU?
-
That might cause some issues if DOCP is enabled... perhaps? Or is Ryzen 5800X more compatible with high speed RAM now.. anyone? Should not cause VRAM related errors though.
-
I don't like VA personally, but Samsung VA is supposedly better than average. So, I'd still go with some previously suggested IPS panel monitors. As VA smearing still is present with all VA-s I think.
-
Well, the image quality does not usually go down as refresh rate increases, perhaps even opposite, the responsiveness surely doesn't. Except professional usage displays I believe. So restricting to lower Hz display hasn't got much point. Except if you have PS5 and that needs good 120Hz compatibility.

7800X3D is a waste of money if not used for mainly gaming. 13700K is practically as good as 14700K, should OC equally as well I believe.
-
Maybe this one - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WQfxFT/asus-tuf-gaming-vg27aqml1a-270-2560-x-1440-260-hz-monitor-tuf-gaming-vg27aqml1a But there might be better ones out there, perhaps. Just it has good specs and favorable reviews.
-
Also, did you use the fastest, direct CPU PCIe lane M.2 at first? Then it might even be CPU issue. Z690-A Pro WiFi by MSI? Then the CPU lane M.2 slot is the top one... others are through the mobo chipset afaik.
-
Have you ran the "optimize and defrag drive"? "Optimizie" aka TRIM. Sometimes it helps a bit.
-
Hard to tell, they seem to vary a lot: I doubt anyone has collected the statistics for time of failure...
-
Though some revisions of Arctic Liquid Freezer II needed a water block swap, as the old one gathered a lot of gunk from the gasket around it, but for me it was not a huge deal. still works 1,5 years later. I hope 5 years at minimum? Hard to tell.
-
AIOs need no maintenance usually. Just shorter life span than air coolers mostly.
-
Airbug for the engine.

Show off your old and retro computer parts

Damn, that used to be the best? DFI was the elite at some point, like Winbond BH5 RAM... old times. Edit: ah, the mobo is Socket 939, but still DFI. -
Convert MBR to GPT, without deleting the whole drive?

Convert MBR to GPT, without deleting the whole drive?
Tan3l6 replied to Edward78's topic in Storage Devices
Does this include bootable Windows that needs converting MBR to GPT or just data partitions? 11 0or 10 (should be basically the same though, but just incase)? I had a backup drive to clone the system disk before converting, just in case, but should be fool proof - https://www.pcworld.com/article/2047620/convert-mbr-to-gpt-without-losing-data-in-windows.html -
Old School PCs going on sale for a bargain
Tan3l6 replied to Archie_Altz's topic in General Discussion
Then they are not really useful anything else than browsing the web Getting some very cheap or free dedicated GPUs might be the only way to make em useful even for mid to late 2000s games. But early 2000s perhaps. Very niche market though.
