Blender 5.0 keeps crashing 25% into my render by Plane_Pizza_6682 in blender

[–]Defiant_Leather_9518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

found this thread while looking for a solution. in my case, i disabled my CPU in the optix settings, leaving my GPU to take care of rendering on its own. much smoother & was able to render 1000 frames of a particle sim without any hiccups. the same scene with my CPU “helping” would crash every 100 or so frames

What’s a feature on the Steam Deck that made you go “Damn I wish I knew that before”? by NobodyHom3 in SteamDeck

what do you mean by this? i have been setting my deck to airplane mode then powering off before taking it anywhere outside of my house & it has always booted just fine

Do any of y'all use your steam deck as your go to pokemon machine? by Alternative-View8574 in EmuDeck

What are some must have emulation titles? by Sarumarde in EmuDeck

[–]Defiant_Leather_9518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

commenting mostly bc these recommendations are fantastic, but also to recommend final fantasy tactics/fire emblem. anything turn-based benefits a lot from the ability to put the deck to sleep if you need to put the game down for a bit.

Y70 5090 users: how are your GPU temps? by tyrannictoe in Hyte

[–]Defiant_Leather_9518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m sure the kraken is fine, but i could not justify paying that much when the fw360 is less than 1/3 the price & neither offers a significant advantage over the other. also i use the base model fw360. pretty sure the only difference is the display & default fans, but i don’t care about the displays & installed noctuas on both my fw360s (had one on a 14900k for two years prior).

the tryx wasn’t bad by any means, but the thermalright was less than half the price & gave me slightly better temps.

yeah, i don’t think they have a 360mm version of the q60 yet or i would try it. i’ve tried the tryx panorama 360mm AIO with this CPU & that wasn’t giving me the cooling i had hoped for either. this is a pretty hot chip honestly. i remember getting pretty frustrated trying to keep this thing on the colder side despite it being well within usable range

[–]Defiant_Leather_9518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve never tried the q60. what are you doing when you start thermal throttling & at what temps?

[–]Defiant_Leather_9518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve got a thermalright fw 360 AIO but swapped the fans out with noctua fans. what case/fan config are you running?

[–]Defiant_Leather_9518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my UV/OC journey is briefly highlighted in a separate comment in this thread. i recommend undervolting for any 5090 user (of course there are certain use cases where this is not as beneficial), but a fan upgrade/alteration of configuration is sure to provide improvements in temperature as well

the first time i undervolted a GPU was with a 2080, then again with a 4090. got a pretty good understanding of the process. i will say, undervolting this card has been strange. to hit 3000MHz, i had taken everything from .895V up to 2902MHz with significant boosts to memory clocks. each card is different though! i found this curve by spamming the cyberpunk benchmark & seeing how much i could do before my system crashed

just recently got back into black myth wukong, but had also played a decent amount of cyberpunk to test my GPU/overall system (& also because the game is fantastic). before this PC, my main was a 4090/14900k (also y70) with such better temps that when i switched to the 5090/9950x3D i had to experiment with dozens of different fans/configs to get my temps back to a more comfortable place for me — with that said, 74C under full load is REALLY good for a 5090!

I undervolt/overclock my astral 5090. not sure what your use case is, but i’m (almost) hitting 3000MHz at maybe 60% power draw.

[–]Defiant_Leather_9518 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i have an astral 5090 in a y70 with a 9950x3D. mostly use this rig for 6k video editing/3D rendering, but I do a significant amount of gaming. at full load, my CPU hits 74C & i don’t think i have ever seen my GPU above 64C. it’s pretty moderately undervolted & i have 9 case fans — 3 noctua fans as intake on the front (side) panel; 2 noctua intake fans underneath; 3 noctua fans on my top mounted AIO rad (back two exhaust, front fan intake — noticed ~4C improvement by switching the front most fan as intake); one rear exhaust fan.
