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

Morning Chaps!

That’s done, it wasn’t the minus key, you have to actually type the value in using the key pad.

I’m going to run the division again and see what happens?

Edit: in CPUz it now shows 1463.2mhz which is pretty much half of the new value set in the bios! I’m guessing this is good? Let see what happens in the division.

yep thats pretty much 3000hz :)

im sure the Division has a benchmark tool to! should be able to run it without having to go into a game all the time

you can have fun overclocking the CPU too!

Hi @orbitalwalsh, I'm a little scared to start doing that at the moment:) Am i right in thinking my CPU runs at 3.6 and I can only put it up to 3.7 on the stock cooler?

Quick one, I division running last night, I downloaded it through Uplay, it was about 80% downloaded when I played it last night and the PC shut down.

This morning Ive tried to load it up again and it started the download from scratch?? Any ideas what's happened here?

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 .

I dont tend to run games whilst they are down loading

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 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:)
 
@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!

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

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

@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!
Click to expand...

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:)

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



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

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

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

first one is current, second one is lowest recorded, 3rd one is Highest recorded value-

does seem high- what voltage is it pulling through? (CPU VCORE) - Looking for current and max value when running the stress test

does seem a bit high ? @Plec , have you used the stock cooler ? I was thinking 70c max at stock

1.224V
 
orbitalwalsh said:
should be able to stop it now- seems its reached a plateau

not high voltage.

might be worth re-seating the CPU cooler again

that's a git!!! I have no thermal paste? I don't suppose there much point doing it without?

How should I go about doing that, obviously disconnect from power but am I ok just removing the cooler (if I can get to it) and leaving everything else where it is? and the just remount the cooler?
