  1. Yes I do! I specifically asked about this while building the pc and the info I received inferred there was no difference between 2 cables and 1. I’ll give it a try.
  2. Yea that disappointing because the guy I bought it from on eBay specifically stated that the arez card fixed the vrm issues from Rog card. Upon further research I found conflicting information. Guess that what you get for trusting an eBay guy. Still I have to set the power limit down? I have a EVGA G5 Supernova? Its 80+ gold 650w and it was 100$ so.
  3. So this is my first time building a gaming pc and I’m having some confusion about my gpu. My understanding based off of twitch and YouTube viewing is that you set the graphic settings of a game and the card will run at as many FPS as possible with those settings. This is why I see people on twitch having their FPS change from say 120 to 80 depending on what’s going on aka unlocked frame rates. Since I purchased a Vega 56 Asus arez card open box off of eBay my experience has been quite different. Here is an example situation. Starcraft 2: I don’t seem to have any issues running extreme setting in this game. However if I leave the gpu clocked stock and just adjust fan curves properly. The GPU VRMs will build up heat until around 90c 95c and the crash the game. I can fix this by setting a low frame cap in most situations but it will still do this vrm heat build up tell crash thing while I’m sitting in a menu with a bunch of animations for example. Ive resorted to undervolting the core by 100 mv and setting the power target DOWN -25% which seems to allow the card to settle around 80c on the vrms in these particular instances. This is wrong right? I see people overclocking the heck out of Vega 56 cards and no one seems to mention an issue like this. The card it self isn’t getting over 60c but the vrms heat up until they crash at stock even with high fan rpms. Is this just a defective card or am I misunderstanding something fundamental about pc gaming? TLDR: My gpu vrms overheat with unlocked FPS at stock settings even with proper fan curves. Help
  4. Reinstalled windows to see if the problem would come back and it did. I’ll get the bsod dump tonight unless the fairy comes while I’m at work again.
  5. Nvm the magic windows fairy came and fixed it while I was at work. I’ll keep it updated if it happens again.
  6. I plan on wiping windows every 6 months as normal procedure. So reinstalling windows really wouldn’t be an issue. I’m just highly doubtful that would solve the issue seeing as this issue arose pretty much right after a fresh install.
  7. Ok here is the specs: Zen+, Asus Arez Vega 56, MSI B450 mobo, trident z rgb ram, and 2 NVME drives 1 with windows 10 pro and the other with Linux mint. So everything seems to be working except that I blue screen on boot up 9/10 times. It restarts after the bsod and then it works fine. Same error every time. I’ll post a screen shot as well. Stop Code: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED What Failed: stornvme.sys So far my troubleshooting via google has led me down 2 lines of inquiry. 1. MSI RGB Software and Asus RGB software incompatibility. (I think this is most likely the issue) Evidence: -The appearance of the bsod coincided with the timing of me downloading the asus rgb software. -Super funky lighting behavior on boot up(the MSI controlled lights seem to change to a previous lighting profile and go back to rainbow barf) -the trident ram kits rgb control switched from being controlled with MSI to the Asus software but not after the first reboot after installing the asus software. 2. Vega driver issues Evidence: -Radeon software reports a resolution output error after the bsod -my overclocking profile gets reset after the bsod So I haven’t done much to try and fix the issue besides changing the adrenaline drivers back a version which did nothing. My understanding coming into this build was that the biggest issue with having incompatible rgb devices would be having to have 2 softwares. so it would be impossible to sync effects, but no one said anything about 2 softwares causing system breaking errors and bsods. Is that something that I should have expected? Im gunna try and isolate the issue by uninstalling the asus software. But even if that works it doesn’t solve my issue. Anyway I come out of this without any rainbow barf or bsods? I’ll post the bsod dump later if I can figure it out.
