£1850 Budget for Gaming Rig, Monitor snd Rift Bundle.

since i cant get on mine for a while- good quick OC quide in bios. Only difference is you want to run 37.00 and not 37.50 they have selected.

You should also be able to dial back in VCore voltage but using that one as a base guide and seeing how stock cooler copes!

again your ram is running at a faster rate then they are :)


this is were running CineBench and Asus Real Bench stress test comes into play- with CPUz running to show how much vcore or voltage is being supplied to the chip and having a monitoring software to monitor CPU temps when its stressing . Gigabyte has its own monitoring software, SIV in the Gigabte App- not great- but least it'll be able to tell you within 5c -/+ of your CPU temp
 
Mornin' lads

Glas to read you've managed to sort your memory - i should have been more specific with the input technique (cheers orbital).

it runs up to 3.6ghz and it may not run it at all cores , why manual overclocking is key to making ryzen good- It may run all six cores at 3.4Ghz when it could handle them at 3.9ghz etc. basically your telling the PC to run all cores at max regardless if they need to or not in a loose term

@orbitalwalsh explains it well - the clock is across all cores rather than a singular core boost. Although, i would wait to ascertain the system is stable at stock - and work at getting your memory @ 3200MHz (if possibe) - before applying a clock. But this is orbital's build and we all have different approaches - orbital's is more POWER!!! :D I'm more conservative (boring) with initial setups...

Follow his guidance and you'll be in good hands.

I dont tend to run games whilst they are down loading

I'm the same - always wait for the whole game to be downloaded before attempting to play. As you're system crashed that's what's probably caused it to forget it was in the process of downloading it's now restarted the process.

when you say shut down? your were gaming and it crashed? was this when ram was set to 3200hz speed and not what you've now set it to, 2933hz ?

Yes, i think he's referring to the system shutdown when the memory reset.

Yes mate, I mean when it shut down last night playing the division and the RAM was at 3200, I will let the division download fully before trying again now that the RAM IS 2933.

I'm happy to overclock the CPU to whatever level is safe with the two case fans and the stock cooler, you would need to tell me how to do that though mate:)

worth trying the game again, when its fully downloaded, ram is at current speed and CPU is at stock! if it crashes then can go into it a little more

honestly, follow that Video i linked and is pretty much a safe overclock - not messing around to much

@Plec lol- power is good!

happy for any one to jump on board and hand out pointers or better solutions then myself- only as system is running smooth- "doesn't matter how you get to the pot of gold, long as you beat the leprechaun"

I know you've got a 1440p screen, but try the game in 1080p for the time being, means CPU is getting all the stress to- normally you'll be gaming at 1440p but just wanting to see if any issues pop up

I'll chip in if you're not about/needed but this is your baby.

From experience there's nothing worse than someone coming into a thread and either jumping ahead from what your trying to achieve/explain or contradicting your methods. That said you're an amiable guy, like myself, and of similar thinking that we're here to help the user and not to 'massage our egos' by belittling others ideas/builds etc...

I like watching different approaches - i've adapted some of my advice/methods as a result. I used to be a real stickler for stress testing systems where as i'm now far more relaxed and will stress test for a while but rely more on everyday usage now for proof of stability (the new silicon has helped a lot with this). I got fed up of 12/24 hrs of prime etc - way back - only for a system to crash while browsing F1 sites... :/
 
@orbitalwalsh @Plec

Thanks chaps, once the division as fully downloaded I will run it and see how we get and report back.

Ive been messing around with the Oculus, I'm not sure if you guys have one but I'm well impressed. I had used a PSVR previously but the Rift with the touch controllers is something else!
 
@Plec when I build Workstations that double up for gaming- things are thrown into 48 hours plus of stress testing haha- gaming just if it loads and plays minecraft im happy !

Chip in all the way - doesn't help when my mind floats between gigabyte and asus bios then intel and ryzen chips haha

new Vive should be impressive , should google Pimax 8K X - i stress the X version as you need Two 1080 Ti to power it ! one card per screen!

That video doesn't look to difficult, I'm to give that a go once i know everything else running well.

I just checked my temp in core temp and my CPU is at 49c, that is to hot isnt it? All I'm doing is downloading and browsing? @orbitalwalsh @Plec

I see the info on the new Vive, I haven't seen the cost yet but based on the current vive price I imagine its going to be a few quid!

I'm going to have a nose at the Pimax, 2 x 1080ti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I'm half way there:)

Is there a way of storing the results of the stress tests?

Cant remember off the top of my head, i jut note them down on paper or here haha

leeince said:
I used core temp to tell me the temp, i don't know what temp it his running realbench, where would it have shown me that? I'm rubbish at this mate sorry!!
Click to expand...

core temp should tell you- cant remember if its had the Coding to take away the extra 20c heat it registered ryzen chips as

https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

download this one, will display states, voltages and temps of a lot of your components :D

don't worry mate, practice makes perfect- just takes time and playing around to get use to it all etc - everyone can learn something new everyday :D
I'm still learning on the go with overclocking haha

Still look high if im reading it right? What can I do to tk get them lower?
Click to expand...

right, now run realbench and have that in the corner of the screen and see what the temp goes up to.

notice the max voltage on default hits 1.38v- some people can overclock a ryzen 1700 to 3.8ghz on that!

also you'll see max values of your CPU- notice how one core has hit the 3.6Ghz advertised but rest have sat at max 3.4 odd- again overclocking this will tell CPU- all hand son deck, full 3.7ghz please! :D

*****

you might have to take off the cooler and re-seat it again - screwing in opposite diagonal corners at a time until it's solid .
two quick methods of getting temps down whilst its on stock-

Using Thermal Grizzlie Non- Liquid metal paste- £5

second- quick look on google for another 140mm Pure wing fan to install at the front for more airflow :D

key bit now is seeing how high it goes at stock defaults when stressed

I'm running the stress test on 8gb ram for 30 minutes.

After 147 second CPU is at 75c 41c 75c
