    Ryzen 3900X thread

    I'd suggest using hwi64 to monitor temps and use RTSS for overlay. With hwi64 you can choose which sensors you want to monitor, so ignore the individual cores and show die average instead. I do a quick run thru regarding the process here...

    Is it okay for Ryzen 3000 auto voltage to have such stark temp and voltage changes?

    Are you using Afterburner, ie. poll based monitoring? If yes, then switch to clock based monitoring instead. Polling software creates the issue itself by constantly polling the cpu causing the spikes and dips. If you want to look at a cpu temp use the die averaged sensor, otherwise with AB/RTSS...

    Add a 2nd radiator in custom loop?

    You should add a water temp sensor as well.

    Yet another Intel CPU security vulnerability!

    Was just reading that from my news feed. It really is insane the amount of flaws there are and now it's happening to the igpus too!

    Intel to launch Ryzen killer - the Core i9-10990XE (rumour)

    Iirc Intel are at the very bottom for yield around 30%+ on the new process.

    Clear coolant turned blue?

    When I clean my rads with vinegar, the water turns faint blue like that. How did you prep/clean your rad?

    *** Official Ryzen Threadripper Owners Thread ***

    I've had two boards, the Asus Zenith Extreme and Gigabyte Aorus. Neither are perfect but I found the Aorus easier in practical terms. Btw, both achieved the same overclocks and I had the same limits in oc and ram timing/oc limits. Asus only has 6 sata ports, instead it sports 2 U.2 ports which...

    *** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

    It certainly looks like it. I do wonder how much of the diagnostics the user will get to see considering there over a hundred sensors packed in it.

    *** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

    This should help. You don't have to turn off cores, when you can control overclocks per core.

    Firestrike Ultra 4K Bench.

    Kaap, you should probably hide it in your account options or it will keep popping up.

    AMD Polaris HEVC Encode/Decode, is this 'really' good for Streamers?

    Damn, hardware encoding/decoding at 4k is serious bizness. I've seen maxwell nvenc based encodes at 1080 and they looked fine, great. With Polaris and Pascal, both NV and AMD are upping the ante pushing the res limit to 4k. This is great for everyone!

    GTX 1080 FE Coil Whine

    We saw it with the Fury Nano with its high efficiency power design and now with the 1080 which is also a high efficiency design. It seems to me that as gpus get more and more efficient, the products get less tolerant psu wise. Someone should do a psu test with these whining cards and different...

    Killer Instinct DX12 benchmarks

    I'm on the insider program, but my install is retail. IP is a differnt iso. That said just using regular auto updates. I added KI to my account, but didn't want to install it. If I read it right it installs to the C drive which is a no no for me, with ssd and all. I have a separate ssd raid for...

    Gigabyte GPU's - poor QC, or bad luck?

    I think all makes have issues, whether green or red too. Asus is really terrible for red camp, I mean real dumb stuff they put out so it's not isolated to just Gigafail.
