I have an RMA open for my 7900x but due to work commitments (which I use my PC for) and lack of money to buy another one while this one is being RMA'd I've been unable to send it in. The problem is that no matter what it gets a bit toasty, especially when rendering. I've had to increase the shut...

my 7900 runs at 100c most of the time while rendering, the "hot" core gets to 120c if left unchecked. That's with an EKWB Pheonix 360mm rad, 6 fans in push pull and multiple remounts (I also tried another 360mm rad, different paste and even tried a different cpu months back to make sure it...

If you've just got a new 960 Pro or Evo M.2 SSD or decided to update the firmware on yours you may have noticed your system stops responding for anywhere between 15 seconds - 5 minutes before it magically starts working again. Well Samsung released a buggy firmware which doesn't play nice with...

You have 8 pack on these forums?! Nice. Yeh I could definately use some enterprising help. I mean it seems to at least stay relatively cool now if it bsods while I'm working again though I'll probably snap my keyboard in half in frustration lol Figured I'd show you what I do with all this...

If i reset the bios (which I've done a few times now) it is pretty much the same, it actually runs cooler with the settings I've put in now. Either way stability doesn't change either way

I have AVX set to -5 and enabling or disabling XMP doesn't yield any differences. I've followed some advice from another forum and set the cache voltage to 1.0v, cache ratio min to 28 and max to 30, set the vcore to 1.15 and cpu ratio to 45 and so far it seems to run A LOT cooler. Core 2 still...

I've just had to send my old sticks of ram in as they did this. the ram I've got back is a different brand G.Skill TridentZ are you sure?

OK I've set the vcore to 1.15 & cpu multiplier to 45, I've also followed a recommendation someone else suggested on Discord and manually set the cache voltage to 1 and the multiplier to min 28 max 30 (I don't know what the default values are or why that matters/what they do?) Now I'm seeing 83c...

What settings would you reccomend trying?

vcore is 1.2v manually set. core 2 goes up to 120c before the pc shuts down but only after a few long hours and only sometimes.

I've bought an Asus Rampage VI Apex x299 and Intel i9 7900x from Overclockers which is cooled by a fractal design Celsius 360mm aio, with 6 noctua fans in push/pull configuration but I'm running into heat issues when leaving the pc compiling and rendering. I've had the CPU delidded by...

AMD's doing an exhange, so another Ryzen same make/model but without the bug.

Yeh do, I've always had better luck when calling any company to be honest so it's the thing I always try first.

Contacted AMD's technical support by phone, the guy knew exactly what the issue was about 8 words into describing it. Mentioned the freezing issue which he says affects some users on early chips with segv and is going to issue a replacement, which I will get within a week. I'd highly recommend...

Might be moving to Canada in the future, as for the UK, London is where all my friends are as well as Slimelight is.

self employed, and no I decided the best move was to put the money towards better quality components that 'should' last longer and be reliable. Hardware (all hardware) kind of stinks now adays, I had my Geforce FX5200 Ultra for almost 11 years and my core 2 quad for about the same time. I've...

I didn't know all of the early Ryzen chips had it, I will try disabling multi-threading later but as far as I know I don't have the MicroOP option. To be honest I'm a little annoyed at Overclockers in this instance, I understand they can't normally do on-sight exchanges but AMD themselves have...

Sadly not, shipping from Canada is expensive af. I contacted Overclockers and they've said I could be waiting 28 days... yeh no I'll contact AMD, let them know I'm not happy and see if there's anything they can do, otherwise I'll just have to live with it.

Live with it until I can afford to replace it I guess or ask Overclockers if there is a way I can do a swap instead of being stuck without a working computer. I mean it does "work" its just really inconvenient to deal with, especially now that I can't compile stuff while on skype calls any more...

I got it through Overclockers, if I send it back to them I won't have a working computer, I just asked my boss if I can take 2 weeks off he just laughed lol we're on tight deadlines. I also don't really have €400 or whatever it is now spare to buy another one and send it in.
