Budget (including currency): About 600€ Country: Slovakia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming, I want to be able to play the newest titles. Other details: Not so long ago I've upgraded almost every piece of my PC except for my CPU, since then I've been trying to find what CPU to even buy (I have an Radeon RX 6800XT and Ryzen 5 3600 rn) which obviously creates a huge bottleneck. According to the bottleneck calculator it's 29%. I am playing at 1080p, 144hz, because that's what my monitors allow. I've found a reddit thread about what CPU to match with this graphic card, but when I popped them into the bottleneck calculator they all showed like 15%+ bottleneck. I don't know if I should just try different CPU's in the calculator and just buy one with lower bottlenecks or if the calculator is somehow inaccurate ?

I bought this CPU about 2 years ago, and bought a cheap LGA2011 motherboard. The CPU did not fit so it has just been on a shelf for 2 years. CPU is a 12 core 2.60GHz Xeon E7-4860V2

Hi chat! Let's preface with my build specs CPU: Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX Motherboard: Asus Rog Zenith Extreme TR4 RAM: G. Skill Trident Neo 3000MHz 32GB C16 (not on the QVL but not my main concern) PSU: EVGA SUPANOVA 1300 G2 BIOS: 2601 (Most current) I've got a unique problem. I've been having startup issues with my pc ever since I got a new CPU. My current build is listed up above, and I've got another ram kit (G.Skill Ripjaws 2800MHz DDR4 32GB C16), unfortunately not on QVL either. However that's not my main concern, I believe there is a damaged or unstable contact pad on the middle section of the CPU, which I'll show. When I do power on, the DRAM error lights up, and the Q code cycles until it hits 00 and says detect memory. Switching to each recommended slot layout does nothing to change it. Just wondering if the cpu needs replacing or if it's just a ram issue.

Hey! I am looking forward to upgrading my pc a bit in the next few months. First a want to upgrade my CPU. I have had it for quite a while now and in certain situations I can feel its age. Later I am looking forward to upgrading my GPU to something like a 4070. So what CPU would you suggest buying right now? (not too expensive) Ryzen 5 3600 Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus Corsair RM850 As far as I know my mainboard shouldn't be a problem right? A BIOS Update should make it possible to pair it with newer ryzen CPUs (AM4)? Thanks!

hello im here bc while gaming my usage spikes up outta nowhere extremely high an the screenshots below are what im getting while gaming it hasnt done this before i repasted my cpu 2 months ago an havent seen theres problem till recently the hardware monitor im using says its fine ,my fans arnt clogged or anything i have no clue even my gpu usage spikes insanely high (edit: im not using task manager this is hwid monitor

I have decided to upgrade, currently there is a 5600 in my PC already, so in that case you would say "Then the obvious choice is the Ryzen 5900x" the thing is that I also want to upgrade after that but I would need to change my motherboard anyways at the end so its the same as with the 7600 eventually there will be a need for a motherboard swap but maybe the 5900x is better because upgrading is cheaper but I also want to add more Ram to my PC and that would cost more on AM5 than on AM4. On performance the 7600 and 5900x are very similar actually kinda like the 5600 and the 3900x, but when someone wins in gaming it is the 7600 but who wins in multi-core is the 5900x and honestly I kinda care more about multi core beacuse I am a person who likes running multiple apps at the same time and several instances of Visual Studio when I do coding and the 7600 wins in x264 encoding but honestly I think it would be less loss on performance with a 5900x. (Although performance loss probably would be barely a factor here.) So yeah I am kinda divided with this because I have 32gb but because I sometimes do many, many things at the same time it fills up and 64gb ram is very costly on AM5 compared to AM4 this is beacuse AM5 has DDR5 and AM4 DDR4. In conclusion I want you guys to tell me which should I pick up beacuse I am analyzing all my choices and I am thinking to go with the 5900x but then the upgrade thing is also killing me but it is pointless because after Zen 5 probably a new socket is coming.

Hi all, I've been planning to make my first pc build and I legitmently can't figure out my CPU needs. This was my preliminarily choices: CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Deepcool AK620 ZERO DARK 68.99 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS WIFI II Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-5200 CL40 Memory Storage: Western Digital Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive Video Card: MSI VENTUS 3X OC GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16 GB Video Card Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Corsair RM850e (2023) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Everything except for the RTX 4070 Ti Super, a Mid Tower Case, and a Micro ATX Motherboard (actually the last two is up to change as well, it just felt small enough to fit in my room and large enough....just large enough). Ok, to circle back, I don't really know how much will I need my CPU to perform. I'm open to both AMD and Intel. - It's going to bt 99% internet surfing, I'm terminally online, watching videos, and staring at the screen. With a bad habit of keeping a lot of tabs, windows, and programs together. Discord, mail, photoshop, if anything I can run the the background without needing to occupy the window, it's likely going to be in the background. - Moderate gaming. Like gosh, a handful of times a month? Mostly last generation of games, StarCraft, Halo MCC, pre-2010 COD and Battlefield, Hades, I do want to try newer titles like Halo Infinite. And I do plan to play those games as visually amazing as possible. But nothing crazy with like 4K on 144Hz. - Generate AI. Probably the real reason I'm picking a good GPU. Just playing around with them. Stable Diffusion, local LLMs, TTS. Both using and training. And Looking at it, it feels like I'm only doing the most bare bone basic computer stuff with sudden high demand for GPU-heavy tasks occasionally and doesn't want to be bottlenecked by my CPU during high demand. So questions: - Are most of my programs single-threaded applications? Do the core and threat count not matter that much? - Is an iGPU worth it? I am planning to use 2 monitors and it felt like a nice backup in case something went wrong with the GPU. Would having an iGPU but not really "using it" impact performance? - i5/Ryzen 5 or i7/Ryzen 7? I don't need an i9/Ryzen 9, right? Sorry for the long tedious post, it's just really bothering me for how little I understand about it.

I've been playing helldivers 2 lately but im noticing that my i7/13700f is running 100% 3-4 ghz when it normally runs 40% 5 ghz. This is causing my 4070 to bottleneck when in game and it only happens in helldivers 2. This screenshot is when im idle but sometimes my gpu sits at 60-70% and i cant do anything about it. Any tips?

I recently upgraded my PC and got myself an Intel Core i7-14700K. I have the Corsair 7000D Airflow case, Cougar Forza 85, 3x120mm CoolerMaster SickleFlow top exhaust fans, 3x Corsair AirGuide front intake fans (They're included with the case), and 1 Corsair AirGuide back exhaust fan. I notice that my GPU's (RTX 3080 Ti) temperature stays around 67-77 degrees Celsius under 100% load when I play "demanding" games like Ghostwire: Tokyo at ultra settings with ray tracing and no upscaling. BUT My CPU's temperature CONSTANTLY fluctuates between 60-81 degrees Celsius EVERY SECOND when only 12-18% is utilised. I use MSI Afterburner's OSD to track my HW temps. What is causing this? Is it normal? Should I be worried?

Specs: GPU, Amd Radeon rx 6600 ASRock challenger Mother board, B650m aorus elite ax CPU, ryzen 7000 RAM, Flare x5 ddr5, 16 gb (X4) PSU, Corsair rm750e Details: When first building the computer everything was going well, the out of case test was successful, it booted to bios and everything was detected, after test conclusion I put it in the case, attached a couple extra fans, after everything was set up the red CPU indicator light is now on (previously it was not, no OS has been assigned or used for the computer, brand new parts) I have tried reseating CPU, I analysed the pins, none of which are bent, there is an even spread of the correct amount of thermal paste on the CPU itself, none has touched any of the pins. I have removed three of the ram sticks and have kept one at the farthest edge away from the CPU itself, the PSU works fine, the fans are all working as they should, I don't know what to do.

Hi all, here we go again -amd 5900x -asus crosshair viii / WiFi (all was done with latest bios installed first - 5702 or something. Late march 2024) / ekwb waterblock made for the board, covers the vrms and cpu (only mounted with 4 screws but not fun to remove) -4x Corsair vengeance 18@3600, 16gb each (QVL ok) SIDE NOTE do have 4x 16@3200 16g sticks, nighthawks by teamforce. DOCP didn’t work / non qvl so swapped em out quite a while ago - no problems, just saying I have a spare set -asus 4090 w custom waterblock -xfx 6700 xt w custom block -pci 1x to 16x riser, usb 3.0 (unused ATM but plugged in) -quadro 4000 rtx -more radiators than necessary -all the fans are thermaltake something’s, high end/expensive. No RGB, either 2500/3000 rpm peak 120s and 140s -thermal take dc5 pump with 500ml res. -another dc5 pump connected to the drain ports on the top radiator (420mmx60mm) with a seperate 1L res. It’s there for redundancy and to help the primary pump cycle the water, yes that many radiators…. Still have one 140mmx60mm on “standby” waiting to be installed MORE IMPORTANTLY -seasonic 1000w bronze blah blah, ONLY powering the motherboard, cpu (aux cpu too) and 4090. Only powering the molex for the TT pump. I mean face it, I’ll use the best brand to power the most crucial stuff -“gamemax” 1050w bronze powering 8x sata drives, the fan hub, 6700/quadro and molex to pump 2 (“jump started” with lol, one of my many mobo this pin to that pin things) this guys outside the case -DO have a spare psu, seasonic 1500w PLATINUM, Corsair. Had it in a while ago then did math and figured out at 80% peak efficiency (assuming) I had ~1200w to work with. Say the least when the pc was under 100% load it couldn’t sustain and my system would just shut off. Again doing math, 230w max TDP on cpu, 75w per pci, 8x SSDs, fan hub, toss in the video cards…. Yeah. Should mention it’s an EU version (I guess it’s better than US? I dono, wasn’t intentional), have a EU to US 120v power cable. It’s gotta be 12/10 gauge per wire, pos/neg/ground. Easy to find in my cache of pc stuff cause duh. It’s super thick +since I noticed issues with power that’s when I took it out an opted for 2x PSU’s rather than one (thing was large too, had to pull out the aforementioned 140mm radiator to make room) -thermal take TT71 view full/E-atx case, it’s all been taken apart to a skeleton since I did the psu swap. Yes I did swap the Corsair power lines for the appropriate PSUs, pain in the butt -both PSUs are plugged directly into the outlet and each outlets are on seperate breakers (haven’t tripped one… yet) -2x Samsung 980 1tb nvmes, 2023 manufacture date, made in Korea or Vietnam… forget. HAD 2021 variants which thanks to Samsung failed to release a “notification” to update the firmware immediately or your drives will die. Just saying, anyone reading this, yeah… -GPU’s are installed top to bottom in order mentioned (think that’s all, at least what’s relevant?) PROBLEM: Q-code reads 00, can’t do bios flashback via usb cause I noticed they don’t light up on POST. See “what I’ve tried” for more details. WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED: day prior I was fiddling with overclocking the CPU. Using HWinfo for duh, cinebench r23/aida64(prime95?)/nicehash(only cpu was enabled) for monitoring and writing down voltages per core, core “order” preferred. Basicallly I was handwriting cinebench scores (5 min stress multi and single), hashrates etc along with the values as reported by HWinfo, voltages/temps and so on. I had NOT been working with the PBO scalar at this point. ALL bios were stock aside from a few minor areas unrelated, SVM and 4g decoding, raid, disabled EDC (whatever for power efficiency/auto downstepping, ERP?) anyway I had gotten to 46x multiplier in main menu, CCX 0/1 to 46 also. Power settings were set to “extreme”, 120% on cpu, 140 (I think) on DRAM. most settings were either enabled or left to auto. If I recall correctly I eventually just went to auto to eliminate variables by the time I got to stressing it I wrote down values, my notes are in the office, I noticed at 4600mhz (cores aren’t set to go faster or slower) the mobo wouldn’t supply more than 1.300v per core, 12 total. At this point cinevench would crash and Nicehash would “blow up” the pc (immediate shut down) so I toned it all down to 43x, ccd0/1 too. Figured I’d be on the safe side doing so, plus I got the best results in my notes. ~20100 on cinebench, .00890 hashrate (again may be inaccurate, notes upstairs) tpu I and II set to “none”, uh that application preference thing to “none” (It has options for Geekbench, cinebench and 2 others) BLCLK at 100.00 from there I had her mining all night, after a few hours I enabled the 3 GPUs. Woke up the next day and yep, all was still good and going. ~1.204v avg on all cores So now I’m like… hmm. Let’s try to increase the voltage one step at a time and keep the everything the same. I have a saved bios profile on a USB of the most stable setup so why not? I forget what the positive increments were but from none I hit “+” and it… offset, increased? Idk whatever it did, by like .00264 something. The minimal amount Saved, restart, windows was stable. Though I did notice the monitor would go blank on login (auto login via registry). The gpu would kick in (after the “dos” spinny image) and I’d see my username which has a profile pic of my dog, blank, dog again pc is thinking, blank, then desktop as usual. Mind you the “blank” was just black screen and basically a quick flicker i don’t recall checking HwInfo, my assumption was my clock speed was too “low” for the additional voltage. I naturally figured no point in stressing it or checking restsrt, bumped up one more (now we’re at + twice, so two “minimal” increments) and went to 4600 to compensate. I mean, 4600 worked fine aside from crashing due to the 1.3v “lock” I noticed the day before. Hence why I stepped it up a tad one last time bam, BSOD loop. Whoopsie. now this part I’m unsure as I don’t remember completely what I did. Back to bios, removed the voltage offset, went down to 43x all over, and I’m pretty sure I adjusted the VRM/delivery from extreme to optimal, put cpu voltage to 120% peak, down’ed the ram to 110%. Basically my mindset was I’m getting too excited and I had best stay in a safe bubble. save/restart ahhhhh darn, q-code of 00 and nothing. Literally no POST, waited watching the q-code LED and no change. Fudge! WHAT HAVE I TRIED? -first logical step, hit the clear CMOS button on the IO panel, the green one. It’s worked in the past just not with a 00 code. No dice -thought for a second, looked at the manual. Hm, there’s a button on the motherboard for safe boot. Ok. Squeezed my finger in there blind and felt it (the little button isn’t by any others by far) and pushed it. Nope -flipped off the power, waited maybe ten seconds then unplugged the PSUs. Waited idk ten minutes, reversed the above and hit the glowing start button. Nothing. Tried safe boot again, nothing -snap, now I’m in a pickle. Removed power sources as noted above and flipped the switch on the motherboard for SLOW MODE. Yes only switch on the bottom, mentioned in manual, yada yada. Power applied again, still 00. Well… let’s reflash the bios via the button and a usb -flipped safe boot off, (done this before) and used a laptop (hp 8760w/32g/3x SSDs/m.2 as boot/datacenter 2022) to setup a usb. First used a 128g drive, went to format and duh, ntfs or exFAT. Nah that won’t work, plus it don’t have a blinky light as an IO indicator. Grabbed my BIOS drive with the saved profiles, shoved the same bios I have on it, root directory and renamed to C8HW.cap (whatever it should be). No go. It’s only a 512mb but I do know the pc is finicky about it and spits a Qcode if I load a profile/save/reboot and leave it plugged in. Eh maybe it’s just the stick, no biggie -busted out my ziplock of flash drives. All varying capacities and brands. One drive was too large (according to manual it says = or less than 2gb) so I just did diskpart and cleaned the volume. Then cleaned the drive. Made a 1g partition at the “start” of the drive and fat32’d it. No dice again 1gb drive, another 512, and a 256mb (haha yep), all done same as above minus the partitioning. Just clean/format fat32 and “whatever”.cap. Nothing read a thread that said sometimes using windows to unzip a file can corrupt a bios file. Winrar is a better option, ok Last attempt, 512mb stick I usually use, same process just with winrar. Nothing Manual says once the button goes blue it’ll blink and stay blue, could take some time but once it isn’t blue anymore it’s done. So pc is still sitting there with the blue light on and stuck in the obvious port labeled for flashback (just being descriptive for sake of a response asking if I used the correct usb port) so far, nothing -prior to the last/current usb, swapped cpu power from the seasonic to the “gamemax”. No go. Figure that was a pointless route since just below the power headers has a red light that stays illuminated if, duh, no power (provided the mobo has power). Power delivery is fine -also removed cpu-opt fan from header. Removed HUB from cpu header and plugged in a spare fan. Still 00 -oh and left the pc with no power for at least 24 hours. Both PSUs off and unplugged. Nothing - even without the “gamemax” PSU connected CONCLUSION? 00 indicates a cpu issue or a motherboard issue. Taking a wild guess tinkering with the bios, trying to reflash it entirely messed it up. Without a UART flasher I can’t do it manually also I might have messed the cpu up. Not sure if it’s plausible cause a MOBO of this… nature has failsafes built in to prevent “blowing it up”. I’ve had similar issues in the past and instead of panicking I just let it sit without power, then all would be fine as mentioned the usb sticks never blink even without hitting the reflash button. So if the mobo don’t detect a cpu, it stops any POST attempts thereafter. Hence, no usb activity. Sure my crap via usb gets power, gaming mat and junk. Otherwise nothing i dont have a spare cpu laying around to try out. Kinda wish I did! Prior to all this mess I was playing Horizon Forbidden West CE on my G9 with full settings on. Blah! so now ya know the story. What to try first? Only thing I haven’t done is take out all the GPUs or swap the ram. Highly doubt it would matter, no cpu? POST wont check anything beyond that keep in mind the board DOES have “pins” to check voltages with a voltometer. Meh, maybe try that? any, any ideas would be a great help. (Whining) I wanna play my games! BTW as mentioned I have a usb with saved profiles on it. I been backing em up since I finished the build. If anybody has a way of viewing them (dono how, are they saved in text?) maybe that would provide best course of action?

Hey guys! So, im looking to upgrade my CPU (and therefor Motherboard(?)) but I want to keep the rest, as much as possible. Im ready to switch from Intel if needed. Hit me with your best solutions.. Both in price range and best-choices. As you can see, I probably dont get the power from the GPU I could. Thanks! Budget (including currency): ~600(?)

hi all, pretty familiar with overclocking at this point. had everything running solid with my 5900x on a crosshair viii x570 till i went into bios and tinkered with the pbo scalar. initially i was averaging 4.9ghz consistantly, eh around 80watts. of course not all cores going, most were sleeping. whatever, pc ran fine and temps were always at or below 80c under load back to the pbo scalar. so i went into that on bios, hit enable for virtually everything, set my temp max/cpu to 90. then did the "auto" scalar settings to positive and 1. reboot into windows, oh i also set the multiplyer (i normally wouldnt do it this way but fresh\new bios, whatever) to 43.00 anyway noticed under load id fluctuate from 110w to 209w and back down. it would go all over the place along with my cpu temps, obviously. having taskman open i did notice all 12 cores were at the same clock speed, sweet! although with temps hitting 90 and up, uhm, shouldnt my pc "blow up", as in immediately shut off? did a restart, this time did a negative scalar and again, 1 instead of zero. doing '-1' wasnt an option, presuming the '-' character was invalid same result! why is this as i thought a neg scalar would decrease the wattage? either settings were stable. so i let it do some cpu mining as a stress test (nicehash always "blows up" my pc if unstable during a bench). i think it got to 110 degrees max according to the phone app. obviously not ideal but i let it run for idk 6 hours, figured things would balance out since i have so much radiator surface area and a custom block for the mobo/cpu/vrm's etc etc. -why didnt my pc blow up considering my max temp is set at 85? normally if the voltage spikes suddenly (as would temp) say 60c to 94c and back to idk 70c BLOOP pc shuts off -why was so much voltage being pushed to the cpu, even without load? -how the hell was it stable! -any suggestions on how to fix the wacky wattage? -is messing with the PBO even practical considering 4.9ghz runs fine? -really any suggestions at all lol thanks peeps!

Introduction Hey everyone! So I am fairly new to self hosting stuff at home, I am talking about 2-3 years here. I have bought my first Raspberry Pi about 3 years from now and my small home server 1.5 years ago. I first ran TrueNAS Scale as the OS, but switched to Proxmox VE, because I had issues with accessing other pods hosted on the same issue. Talked about this issue with one of my teachers back then and he advised me to install Proxmox instead of trying to fiddle around with IP tables and stuff. Since then I am a huge fan of PVE! Alright, so I then also started hosting other VMs on there, because I needed the unused computing power that I used for the pods on TrueNas Scale again. I started migrating some of my services onto an Ubtuntu-Server Docker instance. It's been like that since that point. Recently I started experiencing OpenShift at work and CI/CD pipelines with Tekton and wanted to also do something like that privately to strengthen my knowledge about k8s. I started researching and found the underlying project of OpenShift; OKD. Long story short; I checked the minimum requirements for OKD and realized that I am short of a few GB of RAM... My Goal I would like you to quickly take a look at the table 1 and 2 on the following official documentation: https://docs.okd.io/4.14/installing/installing_bare_metal/installing-bare-metal.html#installation-machine-requirements_installing-bare-metal For my cluster, I would need 3 control plane nodes and at least 2 workers. That would be a total of 14 CPU-Cores and 64 GB of RAM. I also have other VMs running on my system, that I have listed below this section. So there needs to be slightly better hardware, just to be safe. Current Specs Case: Fractal Define 7 XL Black CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 G, AM4, 3.9 GHz, 6-Core RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX, 4x 16GB, 3200 MHz, DDR4-RAM, DIMM Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A Gaming, AM4, AMD B550, ATX PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 11 CM, 600W Storage: - 2x Intenso top performance 512 GB, M.2 2280 - 2x Samsung 870 QVO, 1000 GB, 2.5'' - 6x Seagate IronWolf 8TB, 3.5'', CMR Other: - 2x Delock Host Bus Adapter 2 Port SATA PCIe - 3x Delock Molex to SATA power cable Virtual Machines NAS CPU: 1 Core [host] RAM: 8GiB [balloon=0] Storage: - 6x HDD pass-through - local-zfs (onto m.2) 32G virt. disk Docker Services (Ubtuntu Server) CPU: 3 Cores [x86-64-v2-AES] RAM: 14GiB Storage: local-zfs (onto m.2) 128G virt. disk Adguard (Ubtuntu Server) CPU: 1 Core [x86-64-v2-AES] RAM: 2GiB Storage: local-zfs (onto m.2) 32G virt. disk (The SSDs are currently unused, because I wanted to put the cluster onto those. Distributing the control planes and worker nodes onto them, having no ZFS pool for possibly a better performance?) Issues 1. My system was experiencing a high I/O rate, peaking at around 15-20% when doing high intensive writes. I had some MC servers hosted on there at some point, with large worlds and when they saved, all VMs were lagging to their death (almost). This was the case when I had the SSD1 and SSD2 as a RAID1 and I read that this can cause huge lag (possibly from ChatGPT, I cannot remember). Well so yesterday I migrated away from RAID1, also because I need more storage for my OKD cluster. 2. Another issue is that I had to buy those PCIe SATA adapters, because I didn't know that 2 of my 6 SATA motherboard connectors are going to get disabled, when using 2x m.2 slots. (I decided later that I am going to buy SSDs for my system). 3. Yesterday, a friend of mine pointed out, that my CPU only has 2 lanes and that this is probably going to be a bottleneck for my RAM. He advised me to do some more research about this topic though and as you can see I also don't know that much about hardware. 4. About the RAM issue, I would actually buy 2x 32 GB sticks here, and replace 2 of my 4 16GB sticks with them. 5. If I understood Proxmox VE correctly, it emulates certain CPU types, so the operating system would think that it has 4 cores, if I for example give it 1 socket with 4 x86-64-v2-AES cores. Also I still don't quite understand that part yet, with what CPU type to choose. Maybe I can get some advice here as well. 6. I actually want to give my NAS VM way more RAM, for faster caching, but it's not necessary really. Conclusion I would be very happy if I could get some advise about my current situation and maybe if you could address some other concerns that I maybe haven't stumbled into yet. I am willing to spend around 500$ for my upgrades (or more maybe, but I'll have to save up some more money then). I've also thought of maybe moving the NAS onto another Proxmox system (including the VM with the Docker services), but this will be more expensive. But this makes the system available for the cluster (with a small RAM upgrade).

System Info: Ryzen 7 5800X3D Radeon RX 6700 XT 16GB 2400MHz Memory 1x 2TB NVMe SSD 2x 2.5" 1TB SSD(s) So I felt like I've been having issues with my CPU possibly underperforming [overheating?] since I built it in mid-2023. Dragon's Dogma 2 has been the latest thing to push my PC and I wanted to check my CPU temps to see how it was performing and it was showing a very small negative number in C°. I restarted my PC and it seemed to fix it and I went forward. Since then it's had similar issues and restarting stopped fixing it but it wasn't really effecting performance so I've been ignoring it. Since then I've reinstalled Ryzen Master and Adrenalin but both are showing impossible values. I checked in bios and it was showing very normal temps so I have no idea what's going on.

Hello I am having this same problem with my build. Fans running, ram leds on, but nothing on the display. here are my specs: https://www.newegg.com/m/tools/custom-pc-builder/ld?dln=33077017 I was getting a solid yellow light on vga but i redid the gpu install and now I am just getting a solid yellow light on boot. i did not update any bios before hand is it possible i need to do that for my cpu to be compatible?

I tried building a pc and it will power on but not boot bios. I just get a black screen. Can someone help me troubleshoot this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N8Vzh3 I tried reseating the ram. I haven't tried checking the cpu placement yet. I have also tried an hdmi and display port out and different monitors. I am thinking it could be a defective psu wire or maybe it needs a bios update?

I am building a pc using 13600KF I have planed all the parts going with mobo MSI B760m gaming plus wifi but now some guys are saying that "using B760m mobo with 13600kf will give performance of a 13500 I need a z790 in order to get full performance". Is this true?

I have a AMD Ryzen 5 2400g and i noticed that it only uses 20w of the 65w TDP and my GPU (GTX 1650) only uses 56w of the 75w TDP. i don't have any idea why, my power supply is 400w so it should provide de wattage. both GPU and CPU are power limited. btw my bios is stock.

Hello everyone, I'm currently in the process of setting up a home lab VM server tailored for gaming purposes. My plan involves pooling together some of the primary PC components with a close friend to build this lab. Essentially, we aim to configure two instances and allocate both my friend's GPU and mine to these instances. By doing so, we intend to access the VMs remotely via Parsec, enabling us to game from any location with a stable internet connection (meeting Parsec's minimal requirements, naturally). Now, onto my questions: If budget constraints were non-existent, which hypervisor would you recommend for optimal gaming performance in this scenario? and what would win second place if money was an issue? Considering that my server will be operational round-the-clock, would it be more prudent to utilize my current high end consumer-level CPU or invest in one of those enterprise-grade CPUs designed to handle heavy workloads and prolonged usage? Looking forward to your insights and recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Ryzen 7 5800x to pair with my RX 6750XT. After installation of the cpu, I ran into bsod issues and eventually it just turned into the pc crashing and rebooting on its own. It seems to do this under some sort of heavy load, such as gaming and so on. Previously I had a 5600x, and never once encountered any errors whatsoever. Checking the bsod cause came down to a ntoskrnl wrong symbols error. After doing some further research, I figured this was a memory issue and pulled out my RAM stick in slot B2. After doing so, the PC hasn’t crashed at all. I then put the stick back in and ran some tests using the windows memory diagnostics tool and found no errors, I also decided to use MemTest86 and after 4 and a half hours also found no errors. I checked the temps before crashes using HWiNFO64 and they were fine, the cpu hit a max of 72 Celsius but when the crash occurred it was 64 Celsius. I can’t seem to figure out a fix, I’ve tried multiple solutions and none have worked except using one memory stick, however I don’t want to sacrifice a memory stick just to have this working. I’d appreciate any sort of help. Other solutions I’ve tried are listed below, thanks —Specs— MSI B550M Gaming Plus Ryzen 7 5800x Asus Dual RX 6750XT x2 TridentZ RGB 16gb 3600Mhz Using the MasterLiquid ML240 for the CPU Running windows 11 on Samsung evo plus —Solutions Tried— Cleared CMOS Updated BIOS Drivers Fresh install of GPU drivers Updated Chipset drivers Updated windows Turned off all OC settings for CPU and RAM Restored default settings in bios Reset windows Used sfc scan and dsim commands Checked for any installation errors on the cpu Used MemTest86 Used windows memory diagnostics Checked temps before crash Reseated the cpu, ensuring there is enough thermal paste and non on the pins

I heard from a guy that 13600 has bending issue with aftermarket cooler to solve this problem people use after market cpu bracket is this absolute necessary? Gonna use msi b760 gaming plus wifi mtx mobo for the build. Thank you in advance!

SPECS: AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G RX 6650XT OC DUAL ASROCK A50M-HDV I decided to overclock my RAM and had to remove the CMOS battery a couple of times after failed overclocking attempts. After settling on a nice stable RAM + infinity fabric overclock I noticed that my CPU ussage is now locked to 3900 GHz instead of the usual boost of 4200 GHz. I removed the cmos battery once again, defaulted my bios, tried without overclock and still nothing. My iGPU is dissabled and I only have the GPU drivers installed. Any help would be appreceated

So as of right now i use a Ryzen 5 2600 with the RX 6700xt which i upgraded form the GTX 1650, i am looking to upgrade my CPU from the Ryzen 5 2600 to something better. I have my eyes on the Ryzen 7 5700x right know but i do not know if that is a good choice or not, i checked the compatibility with my Motherboard which is a ASRock B450-HDV R.4 which to my knowledge can run the Ryzen 7 5700x after i upgraded the BIOS which i did. Or should i upgrade to AM5? but i have a budget of like 150 $US or something like that, i'm not living in the US though. My Computer Specs as of right now is : CPU : Ryzen 5 2600 GPU : RX 6700xt MotherBoard : ASRock B450-HDV R.4 RAM : 16x2 GB 3200 MHz DDR4 (Limiting it now because CPU only supports upto 2933 MHz) PSU : 500W PSU 80+ Silver(I Think) Applications i'm using are : Blender (Later) Photoshop Video Editing Games that i wanna play : Cyberpunk CS2 BG3 Valorant Thanks and help me.

Have a question, what would the best price to performance gpu be for a ryzen 5 5600x, I'm currently running a Asus 1660ti oc edition and looking for a upgrade
