using the Asus rog strix b450 i gaming
bpw87 replied to bpw87's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Did you also reply to the other post and for some reason it posted it as my own topic? So confused as to what's going on here. -
Interested to see what the speed/timing/voltages people are running on their B die RAM on Ryzen? What do people consider safe voltages for benching and 24/7 safe? The picture below is the current timings I'm running at 1.41v but hoping to get the voltage a bit lower by relaxing a couple of the timings. I can also get 3600mhz 14-15-14-28 but slightly looser sub timings at 1.46v but not sure if the extra voltage is worth the voltage.

I run a Asus B450i with a 2600X. My Bench mark settings it will do an all core 4.25ghz at 1.46v and RAM at 3600mhz 14-15-14-28 at 1.46v with tight sub timings. Everyday settings though I run an all core 4.15ghz at 1.388v and RAM 3200mhz 14-14-14-28 at 1.365v. I also have my VRM settings maxed out minus the switching frequency for a bit more RAM stability I have it at 400. Most amperage I've pulled though the VRM is about 70A and considering each stage is 30A I'd say I'd have a ton of headroom. Also the SOC is only a single phase and the main reason Buildzoid doesn't like it but the SOC is a IR3555 60A stage and even with 3600mhz RAM I only use 1.1v and it see's about 8A. In saying that though a 2200G or 2400G would cook this board and highly not recommended.

The Acer XB271HUA is a 1ms TN 1440p monitor with 144hz oc to 165hz and G Sync. I just bought the AOC AG271QG it's the same specs and price but IPS and 4ms response time. An extra 3ms response time is nothing and the gains of IPS are well worth. No one can tell the difference anyway. If you are spending that much money why buy old outdated tech, new TN panels are okay but they are horrible compared to even a bad IPS for colour.
-
Yes you can but they have barely any noticeable gains through almost all games. I run MSI 980s with an MSI HB bridge and it works fine just don't expect extra performance only better visuals.

So I just bought a AOC AG271QG 165hz G Sync monitor and I'm having an issue when my second display a non G Sync 49" 4K TV is plugged in. The G Sync doesn't seem to work on the AOC and I can't select select it in the Nvidia control panel. I know it should work a long as I have the games I'm playing in full screen or windowed full screen but I'm getting tearing. This completely disappears if I have only the AOC plugged in. I'm not expecting the 4k TV to work with G Sync or anything dumb like that as it's for web browsing and movies but I don't want to have to unplug it every time I want to play a game. I have looked up countless Youtube and webpage tutorials but most of them are old as and don't have all the latest G Sync updates in them. Please help I need G Sync for the mess that is PUBG and it's lack of SLI support...

Thermal Grizzly. Which paste to use for delid and GPU?
bpw87 replied to bpw87's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Yeah it's my first de-lid so I would rather spend the few extra dollars and have the right tools that have been proven to work.- 6 replies

Thermal Grizzly. Which paste to use for delid and GPU?
bpw87 replied to bpw87's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Yeah that's what I thought. Just wondering if it's worth doing it on the GPUs as well or normal paste would do? Yeah I bought a Rockit 88 and Re-Lid Kit, I'm not messing around with razors, vises or anything like that. -
Looking for recommendations. I'm about to pull my PC down and while I'm there I want to delid my 4670k cooled by a Fractal S36 AIO and replace the thermal compound on my MSI Gaming 980s in SLI I'm looking at either the Thermal Grizzly pastes Conductonaut and Kyronuat or possibly getting both. I want something that is going to last a long time especially between the CPU and the heat spreader. It seems like the Conductonaut is the best one for this from what I have seen as it's got insane thermal conductivity, but not really sure. Not sure if I'd want to use it between the spreader and CPU cooler heatsink as it's supposed to be horrible to get off. I'd also use it on the GPUs as they won't ever come apart again. Would using the Kryonaut yeild the same thermals or within margin of error if I just used it on all of it? Depending on results of the 4670k I may delid my 4790k but I want to use it as a test
-
Yeah the CPU is definitely lacking but all I do it gaming and with 4.2ghz it keeps up fine unless the game is poorly optimized and I barely have that issue anymore. I have a 4790k coming in a few weeks, a fella I met is upgrading and I'm buying his chip. I was more meaning bringing my rig up to visual standards for 2017 but it still holds it's own in gaming. Nah I haven't made a build log. Too be honest 4.2ghz isthe absolute max my chip will do no matter what settings or volts I push through it. I dialed in some custom settings and it runs absolutely stable at 1.201v, when I tried to go higher I had to hard reset the BIOS as it wouldn't even load. Then I just used the 4.2 auto overclock settings and set the volts as the motherboard wanted to run 1.35v plus for 4.2ghz and it's just as stable so I'm not worried about it. Also the GPUs were easy on Afterburner I literally turned them up to +172 on the core, +500 on the memory, 122% power, 83c temp limit, stock volts and a custom fan profile. The GPUs might have more in them I'm not sure as I haven't tried as all I wanted was to hit 1500mhz and call it there seeing I'm on air, but seeing they are Maxwell based GPUs I highly doubt they will do better than 1500 as that seems like good numbers for them. I also have Speed fan controlling the case and CPU fans as they wouldn't spin up with high temps on the GPUs and now all that runs in the background and no throttling. I get mid 50s on the CPU with near silent fan profiles and the top GPU will hit mid 70s but at near full speed on all the fans.
-
So I recently gave my old Z87 a breath of fresh air and brought it up to 2017 standards. The 4670k is OC to 4.2ghz at 1.2v and the 980s running at 1501mhz on their cores and 4000mhz on the memory. The pcpartpicker link is on my profile if you want specs on the full build.

I ended up getting it sorted out through Speedfan. Not sure exactly what I changed but it started to work when I played with a few settings. Now I have Task Schedular start Speedfan at startup and everything works perfectly. Thanks

I'm having trouble controlling fans either through BIOS or Speedfan. Bios won't ramp them up enough when controlled by PWM and Speedfan is ramping them up way too much down low and PC suddenly becomes a wind turbine with any form of temp above idle. I have a Fractal S36 AIO as an intake with it's three PWM fans run through on it's inbuilt header to the CPU header. Than three more EK Vardar PWM fans as exhausts daisy chained to a single header. What I want ideally is to be able to ramp the CPU / intake fans when the GPUs get over a certain temp as well as normally ramp up for CPU temp like it already does. I also want the exhaust fans to be controlled by taking temps from both GPU1 and CPU and ramp up as temps increase if either get hot enough. At the moment I can barely OC my GPUs as they thermal throttle without the chassis fans spinning up as well. GPU fans I control through MSI Afterburner and they ramp up and down as wanted Build: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/BCYKVY

What Ryzen CPU for SLI 980 for 4k @ 60hz
bpw87 replied to bpw87's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Nice, thanks. Is that just like another G2A style site? I already have a copy of windows 10 but I'm undecided if I want to leave it on my current CPU and SSD and put it in the living room in a m-ITX setup I have in the living room. -
What Ryzen CPU for SLI 980 for 4k @ 60hz
bpw87 replied to bpw87's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Yeah definitely can't complain with those numbers. I'll have a look some more at the 1600 reviews and do some numbers. So far this is what I'm looking at. I really want the Flare X ram but with this case I have compatibility issue hitting the H100i with anything other than low profile ram. I am going to make sure this is the go and there isn't a work around to get the Flare X in there while still having the AIO up the top. Half the reason I went the ROG board is it has the CPU and ram in a lower spot than 95% of the other board out there and it's going to give me the most chance of fitting them in there. https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/7fZrf8
