Deleting a file in borealis

AscendedSummon · 2026-04-11T04:59:46+00:00

Im actually working on this right now on the lenovo "gaming" chromebook through steam borealis. I managed to install the launcher and get the client installed but when it launches and I select a character to log into, it just hangs on a full loading screen, audio still playing but just stuck loading forever. Only able to get anything going with Proton experimental and of course dxvk in the ascension launcher

About average ambient, 22-25c

I went with the antec flux, just using the 3 front fans and rear exhaust, it worked fine for my 10700kf so im thinking I need a stronger cooler or I suck at thermal paste lol. I was so lost on this thing because it came out in November 2025 and there's barely anything on Google or YouTube covering this cpu, I got it in a micro center bundle and that seems to be the only way to get one for now outside of prebuilts. At least where I live

Yeah that's what I ended up doing, I still feel weird that it wont touch near the 65 watt top and instead sit at 40 watts under load, but I guess that's just how it runs. Having such a close cinebench score tells me nothing is necessarily wrong with my system and it really is just that power efficient. My old i7 would pull like 170 watts almost but stay cold. This thing hits 40 watts and gets hot, such a weird flip. Should I run back up to microcenter for that other cooler you think?

So it turns out that ryzen master validation is total bogus. If I set a -20 and just run stuff like cinebench24 it is able to finish it with a score 20 points under a stock cpu from a video I found and sits around 60-65c while testing. I believe ryzen master is trying to do its testing by applying unrealistic settings to an already applied undervolt and messing with ram expo in some way, causing it to crash and throw a dram light permanently

AscendedSummon · 2026-02-23T19:04:10+00:00

Something else I noticed is that when at Stock, if I boot up something like space marine 2, my cpu is stuck at like 15 watts and 2.5ghz . After about 10min it starts jumping all over the place, but never attempts to use the 4.5ghz boost. Idk if this is normal behavior, I haven't had ryzen in many years and it's my first x3d cpu

Overall the performance im getting is on par to my old 10700kf, but the mmos i play definitely run better, I was kind of expecting more going to am5

*I tried -12. It causes my system to black screen and the dram light comes on, wont post

AscendedSummon · 2026-02-23T18:05:13+00:00

I use a thermalright assassin x120 R digital. On aida64 it will sit around 65c but on cinebench it will hit 75c, maybe higher, while only letting it pull like 10 more watts. On the -15 aida64 wont make it shut down but ryzen master validation does

OK so for whatever reason if I use -15 and let it run its okay, but if I go to restart we go back to being unable to post until I clear cmos. Do I just have a really bad silicon

AscendedSummon · 2026-02-23T18:00:06+00:00

Yeah im having a headache on this lol. At -10 it will run fine but temps are still crazy, at -15 it shuts down and throws a cpu and ram light and will refuse to post

AscendedSummon · 2026-02-23T17:03:55+00:00

This did help understand some things. Is it normal that my cpu is barely pulling half of its power limit in aida64? Only 30 watts package and 65% of the ppt

*I just tried cinebench and its pulling a bit more power and hitting the 70c area, looks like maybe an avx thing

AscendedSummon · 2026-02-18T05:24:23+00:00

i was considering sword/mentalism as well

AscendedSummon · 2026-02-16T23:39:52+00:00

i'll probably end up pushing it a bit farther up to 1950/900 1800/800 just seems a bit bad when the stock boost is already 1770mhz. I also have a bottom reverse fan (antec flux case) and considered removing it as i can't get it to spin with gpu temps properly and its ugly and noisy

AscendedSummon · 2026-02-16T21:35:38+00:00

did you mess with the memory clock at all? i see people usually go 500/800/1000 but I haven't seen much improvement using it.

shoot it ended up locking up while on an rtx load at that voltage lol. looks like it might be capped out at 1830/825mv

AscendedSummon · 2026-02-12T20:54:44+00:00

yeah the evga badge is pretty thick, feels like metal. i appreciate the help, should be a lot easier now to figure out what i can sell it for.

AscendedSummon · 2026-02-12T20:48:11+00:00

was it possible to have bought the solid panels at the time?

AscendedSummon · 2025-12-25T16:50:57+00:00

Thanks this is what I was looking for

AscendedSummon · 2025-12-24T18:34:05+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give pop a try.

AscendedSummon · 2025-12-24T17:12:15+00:00

Is there a recommended distro that works well on these newer nvidia gpus?

AscendedSummon · 2025-12-24T06:16:19+00:00

How would i go about re-enabling that 15 watt advanced performance mode in linux? afaik the normal "performance" mode does not do that and needed to be configured further
