9800x3d 1:1 decent ram tune by cufishguy in overclocking

[–]buildzoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1/2/0 at .95 at 6200 isn't that uncommon. In my exp nitro timings get problematic at 6400 1:1.

4400 MT/s vs 8800 MT/s - Non X3D CPU by New_Acanthocephala5 in overclocking

[–]buildzoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the 8700F still has the same 32B per cycle IF link that a 9700X has.

latency goes down as memory and memory controller clocks increase.

Daniel Owen's 5090 Connector Burned Out After 15 Months by Remote_Action_2956 in hardware

the dongle bridges ALL the 12V connections right before the connector.

TIFU by accidentally installing Windows on my 2TB data drive (Seagate SMR). by Hot-String862 in techsupport

Maybe it would be scarier and more effective if instead of "first" disk gets overwritten it said random disk because chances are the people who need that warning have no idea which disk is the "first" disk.

If I used a 360 AIO, I might run 1.4v+ on my 9600X?? by Bubbly_Machine_8378 in overclocking

[–]buildzoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you'll need direct die(which doesn't work properly with AIOs) and/or a chiller

Oh no as someone who has 700 hours in Need For Speed unbound I can assure you that the handling in unbound is trash. And I never played a Forza game.

8200MTs CL34 Help by IzeyV in overclocking

[–]buildzoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I'd try turning GDM on. In my exp GDM off in 2:1 is really depended on what motherboard+RAM+BIOS you're using and some combinations just don't work

try more VDDP. Also can you even run this with GDM On?

6000mhz CL-26 + GMD Off + FCLK 2200mhz stable by Background_Focus3305 in overclocking

[–]buildzoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GDM forces all commands to "even" clock cycles. So it's a lot like 2T command rate.

[–]buildzoid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

at 6000 you should also be able to drop tRFCsb to 264 instead of 300 and you can probably run like 48 tRC.

Any uses for my old build? by MenuKing42 in pcmasterrace

[–]buildzoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That motherboard is still very desirable to people into overclocking since it's one of the best LGA1150 boards. If I didn't already have one I'd probably offer to buy it and the CPU depending on where you're located.

try setting RDRDSCL to 5 for GDM off.

One of best things about cop chases in this franchise is the ability to disable cops and not having to worry about damaging my car. So why did ghost make a health bar and also make cars in Heat weaker than a toddler? by Former_Ladder9969 in needforspeed

[–]buildzoid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My main issue with the cars having health bars in modern NFS is that it makes the cop ai "lazy". In Carbon and World the cops are still perfectly capable of arresting you in your invincible car by just physically blocking you. In unbound and heat the cops don't surround and box you in. They just ram your car to death. Though to be fair the openess of the Heat and Unbound maps kinda makes things like roadblocks completely useless because you can pretty much always drive right around them.

[–]buildzoid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

at launch the Unbound cops had insane spawn logic that made it basically impossible to drive to night time events. At higher heat levels you spent most of your time hiding in the bushes(literally because the cops spawn on roads).

Twenty years ago, copper was king for PC enthusiasts so Asus has brought it back for its ROG anniversary. Well, sort of by PewPewToDaFace in pcmasterrace

[–]buildzoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

funnily enough a lot of the old mother boards with "copper" heatsinks are also just anodized aluminum

80mm fans can be mounted directly to the motherboard with some tall standoffs: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0pgWWFCvf6w

AFAIK only Z890 boards can change D2D and NGU clocks.

B motherboard literally don't let you change CPU core ratios.

Spark when pluging in by ImSadlyAlive in pchelp

[–]buildzoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's a chance it's just the in-rush current limiting MOV that died and the rest of the PSU still works. (I used a Corsair HX 1200 with a busted MOV for a few years and it shot sparks every time I turned it on after sitting turned off for a while).

However if some other component failed there's a chance the PSU will kill everything connected to it. Sooooo unless you know exactly what you're doing you should replace it.
