This was my first GPU/PC back in 2006 P4 Prescott 3.2Ghz with a Intel D915PGN in a XBlade chassis Pixelview Geforce 6200 256mb/128bit PCIE golden heatsink, it was flawless compared to the FX5200 in the cyber-cafes/lan-houses, could play CS1.6, D2, NFS, GTASA and on with max settings This brand had a 256/128 sticker over the original 128/64 printed in the box, thought the guy in the store tricked us but it was indeed the 256mb version. Good times...

Hi everyone, So my hardware is brand new and is flying on benchmarks as it should, but overall experience in windows file explorer is terrible... like a virtual machine at times. For example, I have a delay opening a .txt file on this new notepad "app" (doesn't happen in notepad++) or even opening terminal. Also had a no response to open a excel file... clicked 5 times and nothing happened (like a hang) but other things were still working fine until it opened the 5 excel instances at once... very weird. IDK if it can be related to antivirus (Kaspersky) or the drive OS is installed (Kingston Fury Gen4 Nvme), theres no high usage issues in task manager or anything strange I can see... also disabled virtualization in BIOS and hyperV services. Anyone w similar issues? what I could try? running 22H2 build 22621.1485

New 13thgen build, I was tired of cleanning fans all the time so removed all and took the side glass off. Found it more practical and clean. Almost got a 3080 ROG White to complete, but I am better waiting the 4070 non-TIs

Hey everyone, I know it allows ram oc but how far can I go without tuning the mem controller voltage? I am getting a 13700nonK w Strix B760F and 2x16G Kingston Renegade 6000C32 Anyone w a similar setup?

Thanks guys, I am trying to find out which kits are DR, for example, I know samsung b-die will be DR always, but crucial can be either rev e (like my old ones so DR in a 16Gb stick) or rev b which is SR.... This Kingston kit is DR btw, I checked the PN on their website, do you think they are hynix djr? can we guess the chip by looking frequency/timings? I can find b-die in some G.skill trident kits here but they don`t worth its so expensive... imo any 3600C16 will do, I just want to make sure it is DR before buying... Kingston is my best option so far...

Hi everyone, I used to have 4x8Gb Crucial Ballistix SR and they were pretty decent at 3600 16-18-18-38. I sold it since I was going ddr5 but w current prices in my country/reviews decided to keep ddr4. Now I am looking into 2x16Gb 3600 DR kits and they are all C18... These are the only two kits I found that are C16, do they use the same chips/ are DR? Any other recommendations? Kingston Fury Renegade, 32GB (2x16GB), 3600MHz, DDR4, CL16, KF436C16RB1K2/32 Corsair Vengeance RGB RT, 32GB (2x16GB), 3600MHz, CMN32GX4M2Z3600C16

Hi everyone, I have a Gigabyte B460M DHS3 board that has Smartfan5 / fan stop function option in BIOS for both CPU and Chassis fans. It does work fine with Noctua PWM fans but isn't working with Intel stock cooler. It has 4 wires so supossed to be PWM but it only work in BIOS and under voltage option, PWM option make it spin even in BIOS. Once inside the OS (W11) when it starts running after reaching 70C (option I set) it won't stop when cool. Does Intel stock fan has some safety feature/isnt PWM or is Windows 11 messing w it? Weird since the Noctuas do work as intended.

Reinstalled drivers using DDU in safe mode, same issue :(

Yes, I actually found it on HWinfo64 and confirmed with GPU-Z... I will reinstall the drivers and see how it behaves.

Sorry if my question wasn`t clear enough, vram utilization is definitelly fine I guess its defaut for 4K. What I am concerned about is the mem controller load! Everything is down at idle, clocks, power, temps etc, just mem controller being loaded... very weird. Would be interesting if someone w a similar setup could check too Are you on 4K 120Hz too? yeah I think something is going on... I even unplugged from network thinking it was a mining virus or such, same behavior offline...

Hi everyone, I just noticed this, wondering if its normal or something is running in the background... At idle, fans stopped, all clocks, temps and pciex speed down, my gpu memory controller usage stays at 50-70%, w 600-700MB memory usage. Using W11 21H2, 4K 120Hz resolution, nvidia dr v.516.94

Ok thanks again, I was not aware about this performance penaulty on SMR vs CMR drives. What I meant by "not worthy" is due the costs here in my country (see comparison below converted to usd) unfortunatelly WD only sell through resellers here Barracuda, 6TB - ST6000DM003 (195usd) WD BLACK, 6TB - WD6003FZBX (370usd) WD Gold, 6TB - WD6003FRYZ (320usd) SSD Samsung 870 QVO, 4TB - MZ-77Q4T0B (420usd)

You mean because its being bottlenecked by other components? its the most demanding game I have here... which one have you noticed stutters? I can install and test. Thanks for the input. I was monitoring Cyberpunk installed in both (old hdd vs m2) and it seems fine, pretty much the same fps/frametime. I will test other games (high fps) to see if it keeps the same behavior. The odd thing is price discrepancy, WD Black/Gold costs double than Barracuda`s for the same size... they would not worth it (here). I was also thinking to get used enterprise SAS drives (10-15K RPM), but the additional cost for a controller will not worth it also. Thanks for the info, but how can I check this? is it listed somewhere in the specs?
