Here is what i did for anyone in the future finding this thread and wondering what to do. I ran the ECFWtool, it rebooted my machine into bios #2 even though my motherboard had set bios #1 as default. When it booted it was in bios #2 on F4 which is what it shipped with. I then installed F31 then...

For anyone wondering the 5800x3d has made my PC feel like a brand new machine, i was getting 40fps in Valdraken in WoW before, now im getting 140fps on the same settings, thats with a 2060super, i can bump the graphics up now and have the solid 60fps. Just normal usage on the PC feels so snappy...

I ordered a 5800x3d since it was only £20 more than the 5700x3d, will see how it performs when it comes tomorrow. Will prep my Noctua D15, what a cooler, I won it about 15 years ago and its been used on everything since, its unstoppable. Its been on a core2duo e6600, i7 920, xeon x5660, i7 2700x...

Do you or anyone else know how the dual bios works? Im at a loss for what ACTUALLY happened, here is the process of events, maybe someone can make heads or tails of it. Ran ECFWtool which i THINK swapped to my second bios and restarted my PC with F4 bios on it (I already had F31 on my bios...

I just attempted this and it was a disaster. I ran the ECFWupdate tool which changed my bios to a very old bios, i think F4, i then flashed F31 then F40, so far so good, i do the latest and i get a black screen when it boots, nothing i could do got around it. I tried to swap bios trick where you...

I have the budget for the 5700x3d but not the 5800x3d, it also seems to be a very hot chip which is rather annoying and not THAT much better performance than the 5700 variant.

I have been looking at upgrades for my 2700x, just feels a bit sluggish in newer titles like buldars gate 3 and WoW, I know i only have a 2060super right now but soon i will upgrade. So i was looking at a 5700x for a while then the 5700x3d came out which seems to be a good bit better in games...

Hello, I have had my Gigabyte X470 AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI V1 since release and its currently got the F31 bios installed. I haven't had a need to update. I want to upgrade to a 5700x CPU so need to update my bios now. The problem is it seems like because i have waited a long time there are other...

My signature must be wrong, i got the 2060 but it was faulty so i ended up buying a 2060 super so its a bit better than the stock 2600. I cant afford the 5800x3d so its 5700x or nothing really, i could wait but i doubt the price will drop much.

I run a 1440p monitor at 60hz, i use it for a bit of everything, i play WoW a lot but not a lot of new AAA titles, lots of RPG, will be playing baldur's gate 4 when it comes out and maybe cyberpunk when the DLC drops.

Thanks for the reply, do you think the 5700x would be a nice upgrade? Seems for the price it could really be a nice one to get a lot more use out of this platform but i could be wrong.

You can see my specs in my signature, since then i got another set of the 8pack ram so now i have 4 dimms 32gb total, i know this isn't ideal but needed more ram and it was on offer back when ram was expensive. The issue i have is i haven't touched my PC for a while when it comes to technical...

Wait that will stream video files from a NAS? like mkv files? I cant find any information on that at all. Maybe im searching the wrong terms.....

I have been using an old western digital live tv box for the past 7 or so years and its been fine but its mighty slow with netflix and its using a rather old netflix version. I use it to play video files that i store on my NAS and then also use it to watch netflix/bbc iplayer. Basically i just...

All the lane talk has confused to me to no end. From what i gather im just out of lanes, an idea i had was what if i reduced the GFX card from x16 to x8 in the bios, i wonder if that would open more lanes allowing for more drives......

Ok so a little bit more info, i got a m.2 to PCIe just to see, it was only £12 and i can use it in my other machine anyway. Well nope, tried ALL my PCIe slots....well both, nope, nothing, it doesnt recognise it at all. The thing is when the board came out the 2700x was the top dog really, there...

I have the Gigabyte X470 AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI motherboard, in the specifications it states two m.2 slots, one PCie3.0 + SATA support and then another that is a PCie2.0 with no SATA support. Well i have a 250gb Samsung evo 250gb NVME drive and just bought a 500gb SATA drive. I changed my NVME to...

Sorry for the late reply but i just got my ground noise isolator, plugged it into the headphone socket and the buzz is gone completely. I have no idea why it worked for a few weeks and then this started happening. I DO however has a slight buzz from the mic, as in others can hear it, i wonder if...

I have tried using both and both have the same issue, front or back or a mix of both. Tried with the cable extenders and without, same thing. Again my old headset and speakers are more than fine which makes it really weird. I ordered one of those ground loop isolators for a few £ to try, if it...

O got asked to touch my pc case to make sure i was touching ground and see if that helped but when i did that nothing changed, that means i was grounded, does that mean its not EMI? Im rather confused by all this.....i just dont understand how it can work for 3 weeks flawlessly then all of a...
