I have an asrock a520m-vhs and a ryzen 5 5600 which cant reach its boost all cres clock speed, at cinebench reaches 4ghz max all clocks but not 4.2ghz Tried Ryzen Master but it says that "OC features are not supported by the processor" after I've tried flashinfg the bios of my mobo which by the way doesnt have oc options How can i make sure my r5 5600 reaches 4.2 all cores?

After the recent firmware update that was designed to fix 7000x3D Vcore issues, I saw my maximum boost go higher. Previously my maximum was 5.875GHz on the same chad Core 13, so I was a bit surprised to see it go even higher at 5.9GHz. I'm unsure of the sample time, but the screenshot below is a snap of HWinfo64. I'm curious what others are seeing regarding maximum boosting for all 7000x3D, especially the 7900x3D (if anyone here has one). I assume the 7950x3D's were binned as heck, but I imagine others are seeing similar maximum boosting behavior. The average in this case may not matter. Note: the max 1.390V Vcore also likely pertains to the non 3D CCD (hopefully) if that's of any question with the recent GN video discussing problems after 1.3V Vcore on 7800x3D. This is with 'prefer cache', EXPO 6000 36-36-36-76, +200MHz/-15mV PBO2.

In bios I am getting -55c So my AIO isn't turning on making my CPU over heat. Which is also turning my system off (good thing) I have tried; New thermal paste - Fixes the issue for a couple hours updating bios new cooler aio and air - cpu still saying -55c windows 10/11 swapping RAM Mobo: X570s Aorus Elite AX CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X GPU: EVGA 2080s RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32gb 1tb ssd Really frustrated please help.

Hello guys, I am quite new to the PC build scene and after some delays decided that now is the good time to build a pc. (new CPU and GPU generation) Have spent few weeks now watching LLT and researching different aspects of the build and parts, but would really like to ask for you help. I have general build and setup ready, but would like to have some verification on the parts and any improvements/bottlenecks/savings that could be done or noted. It is expensive build and saving couple hundred $ would be great. My use cases for pc will be : - plex server - so 20-24/7 availability is important - remote desktop pc - to access from different location - gaming - anno 1800, warzone, League of legends, Horizon Zero Dawn - so mix of nice visuals and FPS games - work/leisure - chrome (200+tabs), visual studio Build : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wmYgVw My reasoning for the parts : Case (Fractal Design North ATX) Just like to looks, fits interior CPU (AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D 4.4 GHz 12-Core Processor) Thought about 7800X3D - but since it will be also used for transcoding and etc. - decided that might need more cores. CPU cooler(ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 72.8 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler) : Hate the looks, but based on this example build https://pcpartpicker.com/b/46BcCJ , decided that it might be better for thermals Ram (G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory) AMD EXPO and seems to be well reviewed option Motherboard (Asus ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI ATX AM5) Spent most time deciding on, also had ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS and Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite AX as options, primarily just want PCIe 5.0 for M.2, 2.5G ethernet, IO shield, bios update (don't have other CPU and needs it to work with Ryzen 7900X3D), few fast USB+USB-C GPU (Asus TUF GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12 GB Video Card) Picking between 4070/4070ti/4080 - but decided that hopefully this will be good and enough Storage (Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB, Samsung 870 QVO 4 TB) OS + plex/long term storage PSU (SeaSonic PRIME PX 1000 W 80+ platinum) I know that 850 probably would be enough, but difference in my market is no that large - just wanted to future proof, and SeaSonic seams like a very good branch/quality Fans (Noctua A14 PWM 140, ARCTIC P12 Slim 140) Slim back exhaust, two 140 front intake, two 140 top exhaust, and ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 side mounted intake Monitors (LG 27UK850-W) Have it already 4k, just to keep it for video/chrome Monitor (Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27.0" 2560 x 1440 165 Hz Monitor) for games Any notable bottlenecks for the system, or some overpriced/over specked parts that might be exchanged for lower cost ? Thank you very much for all your help and support.

Just bought an open box B650-a mobo & ryzen 9 7900x, upgraded to next gen ryzen and switched motherboards, the first time i turned on the pc it gave me this message, y clicked the "Y" option, and then entered the bios, i booted a version on Atlas OS that was using on mi old pc, the version is like 2 months old at least, and it just started looping between the bios "Press Del or F2 to rnter bios", then black screen, then the animation of a circle of dots like as if it was going to start windows, then it goes back to the bios message, in the mobo i have installed 2 nvme m.2's that i was using on my previos pc, one with Atlas OS on it and the other one with all mi docs/games, the first time i didin't tryed to boot windows, but since i started having that problem i tryed to usb booting but the same problem persisted, tried with 3 difetent versions of windows (w10 home, win 10 pro, atlas os) and i still have the same problem, i finally cleaned the disc that had AtlasOs intalled but nothing changed, it still didnt let me boot windows with a usb stick, can someone help me pls.

My i5 11400H has clocked upto 13,000 Mhz\1 Insane... The CPU turbo's officially to 4.5 yet I have captured it at 13Ghz! It has been captured in CPUID HARDWARE MONITOR. Anyone else got any screenshots of their crazy clocks?

Budget (unsure): Country: Australia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe premiere/davinci resolve, photoshop/Lightroom, Warthunder, warhammer, Other details (currently running Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (4x8GB) 2666MHz CL16-18-18-35 DDR4 Paired with a 5900x in a ASUS ROG Strix B550-E and a gigabyte rtx2060 oc what ram would you guys suggest from G.Skill or Corsair

Budget (including currency): Expecting about 10 years from the new card so Im willing to spend a little more. Country: Europe Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: emulation, scientific, possibly AI and video re-encoding. Other details Pretty much what the title says, I have a 750W PSU and a 7600X and the intention is to piecemeal upgrade my AM5 foundation over the next few years. I main Linux, yes, I know. Unfortunately my gtx770 is on its last legs, the (frankly shitty barely acceptable nvidia linux) driver drives me insane on a regular basis and a lot of the games and emu I would like to run are sluggish at best and bad at worst… So its time for a new GPU now. nvidia Im going to basically blanketly toss aside this time because of the excessive amounts of heartfelt 'fuck you’s, arrogant apple-like rhetoric and toxic behavior towards- and poisoning the community at large. Which leaves me with amd or intel, but I dont really feel comfortable spending money on the state the intel gpus are in at this moment. Which leaves me with just amd. Im expecting power bills(in Europe) to rise due to the world being a progressively more and more awful place to live in, so efficiancy is kind of a consideration here. Looking at future I do would like AV1 encode and some amount of competent AI acceleration, but I dont really care about ray tracing at all. Which excludes basically everything RX <= 6XXX Looking at the 7900XTs available to me the cheapest partner model you’d actually want to buy is 930€ and usually come with a 750W PSU recommendation. Looking at the 7900XTX it would be 1100€ and they usually recommend a 850W PSU. 7800s and lower are due to release eventually™ but I kinda need the GPU now and I have waited for arguably too long already and the conventional wisdom is you should buy what you need when you need it. Checking out reviews I notice a scathing difference between the xt and the xtx in terms of performance. At the price range an increase of 170€ isnt too much and the performance gain is admirable, so Im leaning towards that right now. Im expecting to get about 10 years out of the gpu so Im okay with spending a little more. According to Gamers nexus the average full load power draw of the xtx is ~350W with the highest observed transience at 192%. Adjusting the average wattage with 2x accordingly gets me to 700W worst case, which is… close? Im not really experienced in PSUs and power, is this flying a bit too close to the sun or is that perfectly fine and doable? My psu is a Seasonic prime titanium 750W which are generally considered to be very good quality PSUs from what I read and I know that high quality PSUs tend to resist transient spikes better. (also how is the underclocking/undervolting experience on linux(or in general) for the xtx? part of my rationale for going for the highest quality dye is that in theory better silicon ‘fitness’ will give me more headroom to go down with power while maintaining good performance thus upping the efficiency, any experience on that front?)

Hey, I'm new here. My current problem is my new CPU. Its a non-OC'd Ryzen 9 7900X, and idles at 75C. I originally was dealing with my peripherals randomly cycling power while gaming. Now I'm sure its a temp problem. I have a 5000D Airflow with a Corsair H150i (three fan AIO) and an additional 7 fans. I used thermal compound and I'm fairly certain that the pump is mounted to the CPU correctly. No clicking or weird pump noises so I don't think its a failing pump. Anyone have any ideas on how to bring the temps down?

Hi all, Ive been browsing for a while and this is my first time posting, forgive me if i do/say anything wrong. Ive had my PC for around 3 years now and over the last 9 months i have on a daily basis had BSOD's and chromes "Aw,snap" Status access violation error. I initially thought it was due to my RAM even though I had 16GB at the time. I have updated all drivers and even done a reinstall of windows to no avail, any ideas? Specs: Ryzen 3600 GTX 960 (2GB) HyperX CL16 3200MHz 4x8GB Toshiba P300 3TB ADATA XPG SX6000 and yes i know that card is ancient, I was trying to wait for a good GPU deal at the time of building, and now am unfortunately in a position where I cant buy one (lol) unless the GPU is the cause of the errors then I may need to. Thanks

I was looking to go AMD this time as Ryzen CPU's seem to have the better "bang for your buck" these days, especially $200 or lower. I want to note that I can't just swap out my CPU & RAM. However, my current mobo has 3 dead RAM slots and I don't feel like trying to find a single-stick 32g RAM stick. And even if I did, it'd be a waste not having multiple channels going for my ram (it's really killing me...) So pretty sure I'll need a new CPU, RAM, Mobo and probably a case. (My current NZXT case has a dead front USB3 so wouldn't mind replacing if needed). Currently running an AOC 19" curved monitor @ 120hz, 1080p w/ display port. Thoughts on the parts? THANKS in advance!

Hey guys, been a while since Ive been on this forum Currently running an AMD Ryzen 3700X + Red Devil 5700-XT + 32GB RAM + ASUS B550-F Build. I am considering the possibility of upgrading to one of the new generation of CPUs, but man have there been issues from both AMD and Intel this year. Like probably most of you, I just got done watching the reviews of Intel's new 13th Gen CPUs from Linus, Jays2Cents, Hardware Unboxed, and Gamers Nexus, to get the pros and cons from multiple angles. While Intel may have just taken back the gaming crown, and at a lower price than comparable AMD chips, I realized something watching these videos and realized - maybe neither is the best option... You see there are issues with both the new AMD 7000 and Intel 13th Gen platforms, and they are not small issues but rather quite large ones that have me disappointed with both companies. When you dig deeper into the AMD Ryzen 7000 design, its clear that someone at AMD R&D wasn't thinking clearly. Im not sure if you guys of heard, but the reason Ryzen 7000 is compatible with Ryzen 5000 Cooling Solutions is simple - AMD employed a massive, super-thick IHS on the CPUs to give them the extra height needed to clear the new CPU retention mechanism and make contact with existing coolers. While this does work, the super-thick IHS traps heat insanely badly, and thats why everyone is constantly sitting at 95°C regardless of cooling solution. How dumb is that? Instead of just having cooling solution manufacturers sell us a new mounting bracket kit for Ryzen 7000, AMD decided that trapping the heat was a better option. This is easily the dumbest decision AMD has ever made in its CPU design, especially with power consumption and heat output soaring ever higher with recent generations. Jays2Cents and Der Bauer have already demonstrated that in order to get any sort of decent thermal performance out of Ryzen 7000, you are forced to void your warranty and do one of two things - LAP the CPU, removing about 1.0mm of IHS and then use a mounting bracket mod to make up for the lost space. Jay showed this rather successfully in a recent video on his channel and without even properly finishing the job was able to go from having the 7950X constantly pinned at 94-95C to more like 85-86C. He was even able to overclock it to 5.4GHz All-Core without hitting the 95C Limit. And remember, this is NOT removing the IHS. The IHS is still perfectly intact, its just been shaved down so its not so thick. The other option is delidding - far more risky and could cost you your CPU, but if done correctly using the soon-to-be available Der Bauer De-Lidding kit, you can achieve an almost unbelievable 20C drop in temps. Now some of you might say "well AMD designed the new Ryzen 7000 to run at 95C, its perfectly safe". That is true, they did. But its pretty obvious why they did it - to account for this idiotic IHS design- thats why. Plus like I said, Jay was able to achieve 5.4GHz All-Core OC without even properly finishing the job. This means that anyone who just buys a Ryzen 7000 chip and wants to just run it and keep the warranty - is just leaving performance on the table. There simply isn't any way to avoid the fact that to get the most out of Ryzen 7000, you HAVE to void the warranty. Its just so incredibly stupid. Now lets talk Intel. Sure, they took the gaming crown back today. Awesome, good for you Intel. But guess what, this absurd game of "chasing horsepower" and just not giving a crap about power draw has pushed the new i9-13900K to an absolutely stupid level. Hardware Unboxed reported that while the 7950X draws about 180W under full load, the 13900K now draws up to 330W!!! Are you joking??? Thats the kind of power HEDT ThreadRipper Chips consume, its absolutely bonkers. Of course this means rediculous temps for Intel as well. Hardware Unboxed reported Thermal Throttling in ALL FULL-LOAD TESTS!!! Literally all of them, even when he decided that fairness no longer matters and boosted the Intel system up to a 420mm AIO Liquid Cooler, it STILL thermal throttles at 100C in like 20 seconds LOL . What are these R&D people doing at these companies? This is complete insanity across the board, absolute morons, all of them. So that being said, where will I end up? Well, considering AMDs pricing will surely come down after this walloping from Intel today, I think my smartest move would be to wait for the Ryzen 7800X3D. 3D Cache has a massive impact on a lot of games. So much so that the old-gen 5800X3D is beating the new Ryzen 7000 and even the new 13900K in a fair number of games. Since Intel's win today was by an overall small margin, and this should bring the cost of Ryzen 7000 down, this likely means that the 7800X3D will not only likely take back the gaming crown, but it will do so at a fantastic value. Then Ill probably shave 1.0mm from the IHS so I can use my Noctua D-15 without thermal throttling (probably no CPU overclocking this time around just due to heat, maybe PBO + target 90C and call it a day). This way I don't need expensive liquid cooling and can get a reasonably riced system thats both fantastic at gaming and decently good at multi-thread workloads as well. Its not like 16 Threads is weak. So in conclusion, Ill say this: I think buying either Ryzen 7000 or Intel 13th Gen right now, is just not a great idea. With the costs involved in going DDR5 with the issues associated with the new generations, it just doesn't make any sense unless you are bored with a butt load of cash burning a hole in your pocket. So what do you guys think? What route are you going to go? Either way Im disappointed in design and heat management this time around, no matter who you are, its just absurd. EDIT: In case you were wondering, this is how profound of an effect that 3D Cache can have in gaming. This makes sense on a game like Factorio, and the same sort of boost (although not as profound, Factorio is just one of the best examples) happens quite often, especially in similar RTS or similar style games with thousands of units on screen. These large unit quantities throw a huge load at the CPU cores that game is using and eat up cache for breakfast, thus giving you the biggest gains. However, gains are also found in a fair number of AAA games using this same technology.

Hi, I've been running into some issues with SteamVR after installing my new Ryzen 9 5900X processor. My system will remain normal while in SteamVR playing any games like SkyrimVR, Blade and Sorcery, or Half-Life Alyx, but after about 40-60 minutes, my system will crash with the BSOD code Whea Uncorrectable_Error. At first, my system was on Windows 11, so I downgraded to Windows 10, which didn't fix the issue. I have also tried wiping my entire drive and installing Windows 10 again, but this didn't make a difference. I have used the CMOS button on my Gigabyte X570S Aorus Master board to reset my bios because it previously had to be underclocked due to my cooler not being strong enough to cool my processor down at the time (during which my system never blue screened). I bought this CPU and Board as a replacement without much thought and I had Best Buy put it together at Geek Squad after my previous board had failed. My computer, when doing anything else that is not related to Steam VR, is perfectly fine and will only crash once I get into VR with Whea Uncorrectable_Error. I have ensured that I have the latest Bios, which has made no difference. I have run stress tests on my processor with Prime95, which had detected no issues in any of the 12 cores and there don't seem to be any temperature problems either. I have also looked online and found stories of people having problems with AMD software while in Steam VR, but even after downgrading to 2021 drivers, my system will still crash. I do not know what they did exactly to my CPU, but I did notice that 6 of my 12 cores were missing while I was in Ryzen Master. Assuming that was the problem, I started MS Config and unchecked the "Number of Processors" box, which made the other 12 appear. This made no difference. I'm wondering if there's something that I'm missing when it comes to the 5900x and SteamVR as I've done everything I can to make sure that it is running at stock settings, but it seems that this has led to my system crashing whenever I get into VR. When I replaced my cooler, reset my BIOS, downloaded the latest X570 chipsets, and ensured that each core is running, this is when it started crashing in VR. Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12A GPU: AMD RX 6700XT (Reference) PSU: EVGA 600 BR (600 Watts) Storage Device: Crucial - P3 1TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe RAM: 32 GB G.Skill Ripjaws V Series (Each stick is 8 GB) Board: Gigabyte X570S Aorus Master (Current BIOS is F5a, most recent) VR: Valve Index (I have my Refresh Rate set to 120 Hz) SteamVR Version: 1.24.7 Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time. Edit: I have managed to narrow down when exactly my system began to blue screen while in VR, and it was after I installed the Noctua NH-U12A cooler. I do not understand why this would have any affect on VR specifically as my temperatures in VR are perfectly fine (Around 60-65 degrees C)

I recently bought a MicroCenter bundle that included the AMD Ryzen 9 7900x, ASUS B650E-F ROG Strix Gaming WiFi and a G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit. I noticed that with all stock/default motherboard settings and sitting on desktop with as few applications open as possible, the CPU is pulling about 40W at idle. I noticed my idle temps also don't fall below 40c. This computer is intended to be left on to power the computer for Parsec, Hyper-V, Plex and an NVR, with personal gaming occuring for about an hour a day. Not only is this computers being used as a shared resource but the boot issues with Zen 4 have been frustrating to work through. Since this computer will be sitting idle for the large majority of the time, I'm looking for ways to cut down on idle wattage as much as I can. The only steps I have tried to net any sort of improvement have been turning off Core Performance Boost and setting the curve optimzer to a -20 offset, which netted me about a 5 watt improvement at idle. Disabling an entire CCD had no impact on idle power and actually led to issues launching World of Warcraft. Disabling cores from BIOS did not have an impact. Not sure what else I can try to reduce idle wattage. Other parts: 3 m.2 SSDs, 3 SATA HDDs, 1 internal blu ray drive, RTX 3060 Ti, Seasonic TX-750 PSU, Noctua NH-U12S redux

Anyway to keep my 5800X temps under control while gaming or under loads, even idle is 46-60C sometimes, and under load it hits 84C like no joke even tho using a 360mm AIO with it but cant seems to keep it under good temp range

Hello, my 3DMark score is 2000 points under average with the same hardware, that's 1/3 the score of my old pc. I feel like I'm missing out on performance. My graphics card is a Powercolor Fighter Radeon RX 6700 XT which is quite slim with only two fans. My CPU is a 5700x cooled by a Dark Rock 4. They're both not overheating. Any ideas why it is? Thanks for reading, have a nice day!

I currently using Ryzen 5 3600 with my RTX 3070, 2 x 8 gb 2133mhz ram, and 2 x 1080p 144hz monitor. Then, I found that my fps is not that high (not at 144hz with high graphics) while gaming, and was considering upgrade my CPU, is this a wise move? If it is, which Ryzen CPU most suite my set up? Any suggestions?

So I'm out here watching 7950X3D reviews and how AMD is doing some funky stuff to make sure that the 3D V-Cache CCD is only active while gaming to boost performance. And then it suddenly hit me: Why not just put 3D V-Cache on the other CCD? Yeah I know. The Cost will have to go up and it'll probably have some other funky stuff like having to be two separate NUMA nodes or something like that. But wouldn't performance in well multi-threaded games go up? Not to mention any need for using Game Bar or whatever will be gone. I'm probably way in over my head with something like this, and there might be another good reason that there's only one CCD with 3D V-Cache.

Hello again! Anyone have any good sources I can check out for buying parts for my custom liquid cooling build? I keep going back to EKWB’s website but their CPU and GPU blocks keep going out of stock and I love their custom made blocks was wondering if there’s any other sources out there worth looking at. Thermaltake and Cosair wasn’t too impressed with. Optimus was the same as EKWB out of stock on a lot of things but their CPU block looked nice. Idk how to use Bitspowers website just seemed really confusing lol. Thanks in advance! also if anyone wanted to know my current setup. mobo - Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro CPU - Ryzen 7 5800X3D GPU - MSI RTX 4090 gaming x trio Case - Thermaltake Core P1

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to set up my first home server using some spare parts that I have gathered over the past few years. The server is primarily for hosting Minecraft and other games at the moment, and eventually, I plan to upgrade it to be a proper NAS for file storage. However, I am facing an issue where the keyboard is not being recognized during the boot process. When I boot up the PC/server, it displays the "Gigabyte Insist on Ultra Durable" boot logo with the BIOS hotkeys below it. I have tried pressing del, f2, f9, or f12 to get into the BIOS to try and select a boot drive, but nothing happens, and it stays on that screen. I have tried several troubleshooting steps, including swapping the RAM sticks, resetting the CMOS, getting a new battery for the CMOS, putting in my GPU, trying a PS/2 keyboard, putting in a boot drive with Windows pre-installed, and checking for basic mistakes such as CPU power, motherboard power, proper RAM installation, etc. However, the problem persists. I have a speaker for boot codes and it isn't indicating that anything is wrong. The parts were my main build for a while before I upgraded, and I lent them to a friend for a year while they waited for their own stuff to arrive. It was all working fine last month in my friend’s build, and I made sure to store it safely. The keyboard is receiving power from the USB ports, but it seems to not be accepting any input. Here are the specs of my build: CPU: Ryzen 3 2200g Memory: Corsair Vengeance 2400mhz 16GB (8GB*2) Motherboard: Gigabyte A320M-S2H PSU: EVA 500w I would greatly appreciate any help or advice to resolve this issue. Thank you. Joey

So I just built my new PC, It wouldn't boot until I tried with only 1 stick of RAM. Then I installed windows and the system runs OK. So I tried to put the 2nd stick of RAM and now the system won't even boot, The RAM starts glowing so I know both sticks are getting power but I also get a white LED from the MB, reading the manual it says it's a vga issue, but the graphics card is connected correctly, Y confirmed that by removing the 2nd stick and the system booting correctly. Is there a way to have both sticks of RAM working correctly?

Ryzen 5 2600 Crucial Ballistix 3200 CL16 Rx 5700XT B450 TOMAHAWK MAX So during games, once every 2-3 weeks my screen blacks out with the audio out of sync and frozen and looped. The whole system is unresponsive and I'm sure even windows is not running. The CPU debug LED lights up red. If my CPU is bad how do I test it consistently? and how bad should it be for me to seek warranty service? I bought this current motherboard in October because the pc was behaving the same on the previous one. But the old problem is happening here too so something must be up with the CPU, right? I have afterburner and HWmonitor running all the time. Nothing unusual to report.

Built a computer for a relative a while back. GPU is Radeon RX 570 8GT OC and CPU is Ryzen 5 2600. (1 m.2 drive, and 1 tb hdd drive) We originally had issues I believe due to a faulty motherboard (AsRock). We then switched to Asus TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard and still had some issues to which it was suggested that the PSU we were using at the time wasn't enough power for the system. I believe we were using 500w PSU? The last upgrade I got him for the PSU was a 600w Corsair which I believe to be enough for his build? Ever since I made these two corrections all his issues seemed to stop. There are no more BSOD anymore, the computer doesn't randomly shut off anymore BUT, I still have a few concerns. He is still running a stock cooler on the CPU so I understand that it can have thermal issues. (Mind you I removed the prepaste and used Artic Silver instead) I believe the CPU idles around 40c? The only problem is that, as far as I can tell, the GPU Fans NEVER turn on. I can't even force them to turn on with separate programs like MSI Afterburner or AMD Adrenaline. I am not sure if the card has some kind of built in ambient temp and will only turn on as needed but I have never seen the GPU fans turn on once. Not even while gaming but, at least the computer isn't shutting down anymore. I would assume if it was too hot it would shut down? But I do recall his GPU to be around 80 - 93c while gaming? It has been a while since I have tested his PC and it is difficult for me to trouble shoot through TeamVeiwer as I don't live in the area anymore. From all the reviews I've seen, the RX 570 paired with the Ryzen 2600 should be able to smash most games at 1080p. But to me it seems like he consistently gets low FPS. Destiny 2 for example, I hear Destiny 2 is not optimized well, but even my GTX 780 could get 60fps with High settings. While my relative's build barely manages 30 - 45fps with low - medium settings. So, any thoughts? I have tried everything I can think of. I feel like, either the PSU still isn't enough, or perhaps the GPU card is just bad? It "works," I just don't think it performs as it should be. Thank you.
