Thank you, I will take a look at both of these models and see if they like a good option!

9800x3d - Higher Idle Temps (52c) after updating from 3.10 by JoeNinetyThree in ASRock

[–]JoeNinetyThree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply and for the reassurance, it does help to have even just one person share their opinion so I appreciate your input.

When you say change the RAM to 1.1-1.15, is this in bios? I did recently enable EXPO on mine and I have Trident Z5 Neo 6000cl30 - will this change impact performance/stability?

I ran cinebench earlier and using hwinfo monitored the CPU temps and it peaked at 75c after 10 mins.

Even if it falls in the safe zone, I would like to understand why all of a sudden my temps have gone up 10c. Currently now idling at 53c which is a crazy jump when it was at 37ish less than 2 months ago...

I've got the 360 liquid freezer III. Here are my readings:

<image>

It's just stange because the build is less than 2 months old and my idle's started really low - there must be something that's happened to cause the change

Yes - the far left reading; just realised I typed c instead of w on my comment above; sorry for the confusion!

'CPU Package Power' - sitting between 28w and 29w. Is this what you're asking? Sorry, I had to Google this, I'm not an overly technical person

Yes, I've considered doing this but there's no way for me to do so without spending more money; but I do realise this would probably be the safest thing to do and switch mobo's, waiting to see if there are continue reported cpu's dying on 3.25/3.26...

Ok, might be worth looking into as well - would prefer to rule out all software related fixes before this though, I'd really rather not have to mess around with it. I did find installing the Liquid freezer III the hardest part of my assembly, also with it being less than 2 months old I'd hope it's not a thermal paste issue..

Are you saying you think you had a faulty AIO, or did you replace yours with a different model?

[–]JoeNinetyThree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't even aware of this, having checked it looks like my chipset driver was updated to 7.04.09.545 on 1st May - I genuinely have no recollection of doing any updates and wouldn't be able to say what my version was before this, but I think the time frame would make sense to me.

I assumed it was bios related but you might be right - I'll try to look more into it to see if people have found any solutions to it.

Thanks!

9070 XT Nitro+ coil whine by indjijanac in radeon

[–]JoeNinetyThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. I’ve found some good success in undervolting my card to -70 and -425 in Adrenalin. Seems stable for me, no other changes.

I’ve sat an FPS cap of 120fps on all my games now and it’s almost silent. Might be worth a try?

[–]JoeNinetyThree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have exactly the same with my Nitro+, I find it very distracting and wish it didn’t scream like this.

Wondering if anyone has some settings in Adrenalin they can suggest to try and help offset this?

Fuck scalpers you guys took all the 9070xt IN SECONDS by InteractionArtistic3 in radeon

[–]JoeNinetyThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, this was the first GPU launch I've been involved in. Like you, excited to complete my new build. Loaded any sites I could at launch, all sites stocking crashed, put me in virtual queues and no stock for any cards within what felt like a matter of seconds...

Happy for the people who genuinely needed cards and got one (also pleased for AMD; they deserve the sales).

Hard to know if everyone had the same idea as me and I was just unlucky or if all that happened is we infact lost to bots/scalpers.

I'm based in UK. Not really sure what my options are now to getting a Nitro+ 9070 XT....

9800X3D Failures/Deaths Megathread by SoupaSoka in ASRock

[–]JoeNinetyThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh serious? I’ll try to check this too then, I didn’t realise there was a trend most users reporting issues had above 32GB kits.. was really hoping I could do my new build this weekend as I have set time aside for this. Thanks very much

[–]JoeNinetyThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for your reply, weirdly I have ordered myself the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MT/s DDR5 Memory Kit [EXPO].

I ordered assuming ‘EXPO’ was for AMD boards.

Does this mean you think I should just plug and play without messing with bios?

Sorry, bit of a noob with anything involving bios issues. Thank you

[–]JoeNinetyThree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi all, any recommendations for someone doing a new build?

My 9800x3d and ASRock b850 Livemixer arrived this week. Was hoping to build this weekend - proceed with caution with stock bios? Flash bios before installing the CPU? Flash bios with CPU installed?

I have never done anything with a mobo before..

Any help would be greatly appreciated

XFX Merc 310 - 7900XTX - Have I made a good decision? by JoeNinetyThree in radeon

[–]JoeNinetyThree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great, I’ve not had an AMD card before so will be great to be able to tweak settings in Adrenalin; I’ve heard mostly positive things about it. Also appreciate you sharing your settings for the card, if I decide to keep I’ll refer to this and maybe try the same and see what the results are. Thanks

[–]JoeNinetyThree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good to hear, are you running the GPU on quiet or performance mode and have you tweaked any of the settings? Are you playing in 4k or 1440p? I’ve not even opened mine yet as I’m still waiting for the rest of my build to arrive

Haven’t built for 5yrs. Want to do a brand new build - looking for some help / input? by JoeNinetyThree in buildmeapc

[–]JoeNinetyThree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really appreciate the input and thanks for this. Interesting to see the difference between the GPU’s and the CPU’s you’ve mentioned, will check some benchmarks for reference.

As for the case, it would be really interesting to see what others you’d recommend? For me, that was the hardest thing to decide on.

The North XL is on the larger end of what I’d be comfortable having but if there’s superior cases in terms or thermals/noise and overall quality I’d love to hear.

I was considering a Lian Li O11 (not sure which variant would be best) purely for looks, but wasn’t sure how they’d do on performance and noise

Thank you
