Ryzen 7 3700x Issues, help appreciated !
Applefreak replied to michealvjosh's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
That behavior is perfectly fine. With multi-core cpus, tasks will be done by different cores. Once an individual core is done it will return to a lower power state, thus dropping clocks. If one picks up a task it will clock higher to perform that task quicker and therefore that core is getting warmer. I see temperatures wandering between 36 and 47 C in windows sometimes going to 54 C copying files. That's just how those chips behave. If you were to use a big watercooler, those spikes in temperature would be less noticeable as the water has more thermal capacity than an air-cooler, meaning it w -
I haven't really looked into that yet. There are only a few screens that meat that criteria at the moment. You have the DELL, HP Omen, Samsung G7 and AOC. Honestly I would stick to 144 Hz unless you play professional e-sports titles for money.

That is normal. The clocks will drop in idle reduce power drawn. If you have fans ramping up and down every couple of seconds, set a custom fan profile. From experience I can tell you that it is way more pleasing to the ear to have the fans set at higher minimum speed and ramp up later under an actual load then having it go up and down and up and down all the time. -
Techspot Looks pretty good there in terms of performance. I still think it is overpriced. For some reason the monitor is about 20 percent cheaper in Europe.

Again, that was not my point. I was referring to the quality of the components that resulted in the lower rating. Which in turn reduce output efficiency and stability under peak load over time. Lower quality components on the PCB have a lower thermal threshold then those needed for a higher rated PSU in order. If the power supply runs under peak load for a certain amount of time and unless the room is getting cool air from the AC, the actual stable output wattage will drop. Increased heat increases resistance. If the board's logic works as intended it won't allow more amps at a certain point t

Response time is important but what makes a big difference for games is input lag. Head over to TFTcentral.co.uk and read some reviews. They explain it in more detail. Unfortunately they have no review on that monitor but I have found one on another site that measured the actual response time between 15 and 32 ms (compared to the 1 ms marketing number, which usually only measures gtg or grey to grey transitions, which are faster than colors).

That would be way better than a GT 1030. That's actually close to MSRP of the card when it launched brand new 4, 5 years ago.

Adjust the input gain, either in windows or whatever program you use for chatting.

What motherboard for Ryzen 5 5600X?
Applefreak replied to Overpriced CPU's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
B550 or X570. Look at the features you want and need and make your choice. Also look at reviews for in depth analysis on those boards. -
No idea, depends on what you can find but pretty much any card past 2015 is better than a 1030.

I was referring to the manufacturers loss factor under full load when compared with the gold rated model. EVGA lists the PSU as having 480 Watts on the 12 V rail at 40C operating temperature (typically that refers to a load of 75 to 80 percent). If you stress out the components power, depending on their quality, you will loose efficiency. A lower rated PSU will typically have lesser components inside. That was not true though when 80+ units were the best you could get.

I get that but 240 Hz is more of a gimmick. What you want to test for and check is input latency. If that monitor has bad input latency it could be slower than a 75 Hz panel that has excellent input latency for example. Also that monitor is only a Dell with fancier branding and DELL does not make screens either. It's probably a LG or Samsung panel. But if you really want it, go for it. But keep in mind that it is DELL and their warranty department has gotten so much worse over the years, you now have to wait 3 to 5 business days on a response by text message if you have an issue or want

Not bad but I would look for a used graphics card in that price range. I don't like the noise profile of those Arctic fans at high speeds. But that is less important if you adjust the fan speed in bios to your liking.

Then try unplugging the hardware and only run the essential stuff. If a drive is bad (bad sectors for example) it can halt the entire system for short moments. Same with bad memory. One thing you can try (had this issue on an old Core 2 Quad machine) is to disable windows system sounds completely. Open the menu and select no sounds. Then restart the system. That solved BSODs and stutters in BF 3 and 4 for me.

A bronze unit, no. That unit would output around 410 - 420 Watts at full capacity. You will have to get yourself a 750 W or higher unit, 80+ gold or better if you can.
