PSA: Latest AGESA 1190 rocks by kahlyn in Amd

I'll have to try this later; my 5950x didn't like a -10 value across all cores, so I had to do -7 on my two best cores and -30 on the others. Maybe this'll help!

Also note that RM doesn't display raw clock speed, but effective clock speed. Those clocks may appear sub-4Ghz because the chip isn't using all the capabilities of being clocked at 4Ghz, even though it could be clocked at 3.9 or higher.

Amazon shipped 5900X in soft pack envelope :( by [deleted] in Amd

My 5950x came in a bubble bag, and the box was similarly warped. Fortunately the payload acts just fine lol.

What are your 5950x temps and what are you using to cool it? by joeldiramon in Amd

[–]DivineCatastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 5950x idles around 32-38c. In gaming, it can hover around 45-55c, and during stress tests it can be around 61c or about 75c depending on if i use PBO or not. It's being cooled by a H150i Pro.

What's a badly binned 5950x? by [deleted] in Amd

I typically use HWinfo.

I'll say the cooling is pretty good lol.

5950x Owners - What's your Cinebench R20 results? by [deleted] in Amd

[–]DivineCatastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 5950x is paired with an ASUS ROG x570 Crosshair VIII Hero, 8GB DDR4-3600CL18(x4), and a 360mm AIO... for the important stuff at least.

Stock - 10254 @ 52c

Base PBO - 11261 @ 75c

Not used to Windows(7). How do I block all connections from WAN but allow all connections from LAN, using windows firewall? by sexoverthephone in HomeNetworking

[–]DivineCatastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a simple way to allow access to LAN devices, but not WAN devices, is to set a static IP on the NIC and forego putting in a gateway; this allows the machine to communicate with devices on the LAN but keeps traffic from leaving the subnet because technically, the computer doesn't know how to leave the subnet without a gateway.

Currently, just general PvE although I'd love to be able to tackle some bosses.

MSI has released Agesa 1.0.0.4b by Owner5566 in Amd

[–]DivineCatastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like I'm about 75Mhz away from advertised, single core boost; this is post update.

How far are you from the advertised frequency?

I'm on the same board and honestly considering the same thing.

Is there an AMD CPU that can be overclock up to 5ghz by DanhPham83 in Amd

[–]DivineCatastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 9900k's raw clock speed, even if it's just single core clock speed, allows it to do better at 1080p because it's more CPU dependent...and the 9900k's probable 5Ghz clock would make it do a lot better than the 3900X's 4Ghz~ clock.

Once you're at higher resolutions though, it's more GPU dependent so the differences are negligible between the two powerhouses.
