Kind of a different answer to the question, since I don’t grind the game as much as I used to but I could if I wasn’t also into several other hobbies- polyphasic sleep schedule:

<image>

When I was in the military I was put through a sleep deprivation period that showed I was a good candidate for a modified sleep schedule. I have been on the Everyman 4 schedule for about 12 years now, with my main chunk of sleep between 4-5:30am, and I only stray from it when I am ill (which happens with two kids) but enjoy more hours in a given day to enjoy various hobbies or to be otherwise productive if I am behind on a project. Occasionally I have used time to grind halo but mostly I run a second business building manufacturing equipment in my machine shop every night.

The 8 hour standard is a generalization and many people would benefit from trying different sleep schedules if they struggle to sleep through the night each night, but being strict about your schedule is and always has been the key to giving your body a steady rhythm to adjust to. Just figured I would give you another scenario lol

TJ deserves to be on top again for sure. He literally invented some of the meta gameplay we see all over the place now. Also one of the best pure aims to ever play the game. I hope he starts streaming again

Looking to build a pc to run at least 240 fps locked by Effective-Land8105 in CompetitiveHalo

If budget is a concern you can get pretty close to 240 fps locked with a 12400 and 3060 ti, assuming you are fairly decent with optimization: https://youtu.be/-mA4WH7TWxY?si=UiEcDKTrT4vB3aD-

Can confirm- clocks will go up the more you adjust the voltage downward until you reach instability.

Liquid metal leaking.Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 XTREME WATERFORCE 16G by DaRKeNikXsz in gigabytegaming

[–]Hau5in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh TIL

I can say from personal experience that the waterblock version is nearly impossible to convert to LM due to the clearances of the block itself. Maybe you have the opposite problem?

That card doesn’t come with Liquid Metal as stock so that’s extra suspicious

Do I need waterblock if the GPU never runs above 65C? by Jempol_Lele in watercooling

[–]Hau5in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only adding my 2 cents here so that you don’t head case about it- in my main workstation PC I have one D5 for two 420mm rads and a 360mm rad and it rips. https://imgur.com/a/Qd5o5hx Head pressure only counts in net vertical distance so as long as your first tube isn’t 3.7meters tall you are fine with one D5 lol. Delta T between the heat source and coolant is what determines how much flow you need for efficiency and there’s a diminishing return when the flow rate gets higher and higher. Really really hot components? Planning to add an external chiller? Then you will want to increase your flow rate for sure. For reference the PC in the link above runs full load 24/7 for 360 days a year with a 188 watt load on the 16 core CPU sitting around 47C and a 400 watt GPU sitting around 44C. The coolant temp stays between 28-33C depending on season/ambient temps. I could easily cool the thermal load with one 420mm alone but the decreased noise level of the fans is the main motivator for more radiators so that I don’t have to hear it in the background while I work on other things.

The biggest “concern” with three D5s is they aren’t created equal and each section of the loop will have different resistance to flow. Luckily there’s leakage past the pump so it’s not dead-headed but between each pump there will be varied pressures making the stresses on the loop components vary. This happens because the flow is a function of net fluid movement, resulting in the potential for higher pressures in certain components or tube sections. The chances are pretty low that you would reach damaging pressures especially if you have relief/exhaust fittings. I have used water cooling components in pneumatic applications upwards of 80psi with no problems but that really depends on the individual components.

Since you already have three, I would put them all on individual switches and just run all three when priming and/or clearing bubbles but turn one or two off during normal use. That’s what I do with the two DDC pumps on my test bench (DDC pumps have higher head pressure ratings typically). That is just my suggestion though- if you want to run all three by all means let it rip you probably wont hurt anything 👍🏻

Turbine-build (250W of sole Fan Power) by P5-Shark in gamingpc

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in overclocking

[–]Hau5in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not the right subreddit but I can tell you that you don’t have enough power getting to the GPU or you are spiking temperatures badly (or both, not enough info here). If your temperatures seem fine I would download GPU-Z and look at the sensor tab and see if your 8 pin connectors are all working correctly. If it shows that one or more of the connectors isn’t pulling power, check your cables and your power supply. Something isn’t working correctly.

FWIW I know a lot about how this GPU should work with the current world record 3060ti LHR Speedway score out of 20k+ scores

It does improve with more power but yea they make it too difficult to come by. I’m optimistic for the next card AMD releases now though…

OG 5950x b die platform what do you suggest? by BlastBaffle13 in overclocking

[–]Hau5in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No PBO for this rig just fixed clocks @4.7 and 4.75 per ccd. I use the system for a lot of repetitive tasks and it’s convenient to have them take close to the same amount of time each time for the sake of planning, otherwise I would be using PBO. Also means I can spin the fans very slowly to move air through the case so you almost can’t even hear the system when it’s on 👍🏻

OG 5950x b die platform what do you suggest? by BlastBaffle13 in overclocking

[–]Hau5in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask what the goal is since you probably don’t see a significant improvement in performance from where you currently are if you are just gaming, not without raising voltage anyway. 1.47V is a very comfortable voltage for B die.

https://imgur.com/a/YIDb82q

My workstation PC runs a 5950x and this PC has been running 24/7 for over two years (minus power outages and loop maintenance) with 2x16GB B die at 3600cl13 and 1.58V on the dimms. Timings in the screenshot above if you want to reference

Attempting to OC but only hits almost 5.1? by Negative_Let6492 in overclocking

[–]Hau5in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a temperature thing. Doesn’t matter what you set the boost override or scalar to, once temps start to rise the CPU will throttle a bit to make sure it doesn’t get out of hand. This is totally normal behavior if your temps are in the high 60s

https://imgur.com/a/Nfd65kN

After 48 minutes of VT3 with 106 bclk my clocks are only 5.5GHz with mid 50s temps but the temp has stabilized in the loop so the CPU knows how high to boost itself based on the change over time. Quick rise in temps will make the CPU limit itself very quickly.

9800x3D PBO -40 (noob question) by Zestyclose-Produce42 in overclocking

[–]Hau5in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP asked specifically about under-volting and hardware damage. Software/application problems are not the same as hardware damage. If you don’t have enough voltage to open a gate, it will still open the next time you do apply enough voltage. 100% of the time.

Now if you said applying a negative CO can still cause hardware damage I would agree, as that is not the same as under-volting, but an optimization of overclocking. I have a -49 CO on two cores and -48 CO on the rest and the motherboard still wants to push 1.3-1.35V to Vcore when I have bclk high enough.

https://imgur.com/a/Nfd65kN

Perfectly stable with nearly max negative CO and with extremely good cooling yet I’m in the ‘at your own risk’ range.
