    Yeah if you want to be safe you gotta have a chonky, responsive UPS, but other than that, you just pray.

    I know this topic generally has been discussed many times already before but this is separate of the normal Ryzen 5 3600 temp and voltage behavior with everything set to auto. But I'm really curious as I've been "catching" this really particular behavior from the CPU when I'm idle and not monitoring the CPU state, cores 1, 2 and 4 are on max load somehow. Really concerned if this has something to do with a virus or cryptojacking program sneaking in workloads when I'm not monitoring it or if it's just the behavioral reports of Ryzen CPUs when not being monitored Really suspicious when I try to take a look at Ryzen Master or even Task Manager, CPU usage drops down to normal idle Note that span of Histogram time-wise is around 20 minutes when I started up Ryzen Master I have my Ryzen undervolted to 1.13v and overclocked to 4.1 gHz from Ryzen Master profile when the screenshot was taken

    thing is I usually had temps consistently idling on 40c-48c before, with the cores not spiking up as bad as it is getting now (core frequency mostly stayed at below 1000 mHz before when idling and browsing, but now it spikes to 3000+ mHz for no reason at all), and I really still don't know what's going on in the BIOS side since it always tries to enable overclocking

    Hi guys, I've been recently having problems with my Ryzen 5 3600. I noticed two things, first off, it tries to overclock all the time and keeps spiking to 1.4v and temps are running around from 41c to 61c depending on god knows what the **** does the cpu want, and I always have to go to the BIOS settings just to set the overclocking back to auto (usually I never have to and I somehow can't find the option to actually disable it)- next is my Ryzen Balanced Power Plan is gone. I've scoured some old forums about the Ryzen Balanced Power Plan being gone and I am trying to do the things that I can find but I'm still lost about what's happened. Latest BIOS as well as Windows updates. I am in the process of trying to update my chipset driver but from Ryzen Master there was supposedly nothing to update. The only thing I can remember doing is installing a new air cooler but that's about it. Any answers are greatly appreciated.

    Hi- I just wanted to ask for those who own air coolers that are heavy (such as those with 2 or more fans on it), how do you exactly deal with the slack? (aside from setting up your PC lying down) My air cooler, Jonsbo CR2000GT is a bit heavy and is slightly slacking downwards due to the weight.

    I just recently checked the UEFI settings and they all seem to be set at Auto, the voltage settings are also set to Normal by default. Have not touched anything with it.

    I just built my first computer after months of waiting with a Ryzen 5 3600. I just got confused that it's so darn hot, around 51c-59c even when idling, and going up to the high 70's even with light browser games (monitored with both HWMonitor and AMD Ryzen Master, ambient temp avg is around 25c) with stock cooler. I've read a few forum posts though the common thermals I see is around 40c-45c even with the stock cooler. I then decided to re-apply thermal paste because I thought the pre-applied paste dried (PSU came in dead and I had to wait for a month for another PSU to come in before I finally could boot everything up) or that I made a mistake installing the stock cooler. After applying the new thermal paste (Coolermaster IC Value V1), I only got around 2c-3c lower. Am I missing something here? I plan to upgrade my cooler anyways since 60c on just Youtube isn't going to cut it for me, but I just wonder what the hell is going on here?

    Thought the cord could only go that far with so much force, sorry. Jammed it in even more and now it's somewhat more flush inside but still no fan activity whatsoever, I was semi-hoping that that was just the problem Thought I'd mentioned those 4 screws because those were probably the only reason other than water and inappropriate contact that I could short out the unit via jamming a wrong screw in or something
  9. Nanokillzx33
    I yanked the PSU out of the case, re-tested with 3 fans and nothing attached. The fans still aren't spinning. Will take it for RMA unfortunately for me that'll probably take at least a month since it's ordered online. Also a few moments after taking out the PSU, the 3 prongs on it (I don't know what it's actually called) crackled quite a bit. I'm not sure if it's some sort of short circuit or what because I've used the proper screws for it.

    I just built my first PC after waiting for 2 months for the parts and overpaying for inflated parts; it isn't booting nor producing any beep codes, just dead. I'm looking at the PSU since (aside from the basics such as properly seating the processor, inserting the ram in their proper slots, not a misplaced standoff, or actually turning on the PSU, etc.) I've also pre-tested my RAM and Graphics Card in a computer service shop and they're working perfectly. Components: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Asus TUF B450-M Plus Gaming Powercolor RX580 (Used but as said already tested) 2 x 4 gb 2666 Mhz Kingston HyperX 256 gb Team Group GX2 SATA 2.5" SSD 1 tb Seagate Barracuda Item in question: Corsair CV550 80+ Bronze More details: I've tried shorting out the front panel power button pins and the computer still won't start. Next, I've disconnected the PSU from the rest of the computer except for the Molex fans and drives, I tried the paperclip test on it, and the fan did not move even by a bit. I even tried swapping the cable for another one but still nothing. If anyone has the same model could you please tell me if the fan immediately turns after turning your computer on (read on some forums that some PSU fans don't immediately start turning until hitting up a certain load) or if anyone has an idea on why it's not booting at all, please let me know. I can't afford having an expensive brick after working my ass off and am on the end of my wits

    So I got the flash drive, got to Windows 10 install, but the SSD in question is still nowhere to be found, even after I've looked at Diskpart

    I bought a used mining RX580 and was hoping to clean it once I received it but one of the front plate's screws were rusted and got stripped when I was trying to unscrew it. Any ideas how to remove the screw or how to clean the fins without taking the front plate off would be much appreciated
  13. Nanokillzx33
    I guess I will have to wait when I have a flash drive for Windows installation and the rest of my stuff if the BIOS can't detect the SSD. I was hoping it would detect it because it would with my old secondary storage HDD
  14. Nanokillzx33
    I just want to know how to verify if it's working or not outside of OS because I have limited resources for now
  15. Nanokillzx33
    Sadly I still don't have that available yet... Sorry
  16. Nanokillzx33
    My laptop can't boot to the OS, died a while back so I can't look up/create partitions

    I'm building my first pc and ordered a Kingston SA400S37 (240 gb) SSD online from a chinese seller (silly me) . Upon reading the recently added reviews for the item I got a but apprehensive because of people saying it was fake (only the recent ones hence why I was complacent in buying it) and I won't be able to use and verify it with my build for at least a few weeks. I plugged the SSD into my old laptop (Model: LG LGC50) [note: laptop can only boot to BIOS cause it died a while back] to see if it would be detected in the BIOS but it didn't. Are there other ways I could verify if I could use the SSD or is it safe to assume that I've got a counterfeit or did I miss something else such as a BIOS update?

    Thank you so much
  19. Nanokillzx33
    Thank you for clarifying that I was confused there for a bit

    Wait how do I differentiate a GPU that outputs only single link if it has a dual link DVI out, or did I get you wrong
  21. Nanokillzx33
    I also couldn't find a definite answer as to how to identify HDMI version cables are, and much less so with DVI-D dl to HDMI's. Would you say it's safe to bet that 120 hz is possible on 1080p?
  22. Nanokillzx33
    Thank you, I forgot to mention that it is a dual link. DVI-D Dual Link to HDMI should be fine then? I've already bought one but I haven't chosen a monitor yet for fear of wasting my money

    Hi, I'm very new to the computer building scene and this topic has been bugging me because of conflicting information on the internet and even several forums I bought a used Powercolor RX580 with only DVI-D Dual Link output and nothing else; I'm confused whether it will be capable of outputting 1080p 120 hz or 144 hz refresh rate on a monitor with HDMI input (since most monitors will have HDMI anyways) All other information has been nothing but mix and mash and I rarely see people mentioning about them using a DVI-D output, at least not unless their monitor has a DVI-D input as well
