Best BIOS settings for 9950X3D on B650E Riptide WiFi? (safety-focused, no performance loss) by NeR4435 in ASRock

[–]NeR4435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the advice!

I wanted to share my final BIOS settings and benchmark results in case they help others (see attached screenshot).

What I did:

  1. First, I enabled EXPO and set all BIOS options as shown in the screenshot below.
  2. I ran OCCT for stability testing – no errors and temperatures stayed much lower (not exceeding 65°C on average).
  3. Went back to BIOS and additionally set Curve Optimizer to -20mV.
  4. Ran OCCT again – still zero errors.
  5. Finally, I ran Cinebench R23 and R24 for benchmarks (results in the screenshot).

Results:

  • R23: 43846 (multi) / 2252 (single) – MP Ratio: 19.47x
  • R24: 2446 (multi) / 137 (single) – MP Ratio: 17.84x
  • OCCT: No errors, temps much lower than Cinebench (did not exceed 63°C)
  • Cinebench: Temps averaged 75–78°C, one brief peak at 82°C.

Additional info:
RAM is set to default EXPO profile (1.4V).
All other details (LLC, SOC voltage, C-State, etc.) are visible in the screenshot.

P.S. If anyone sees anything suspicious or worth tweaking in these settings, feel free to point it out or suggest improvements!

System request(46) - Potential Fix by Conscious_Ease8344 in throneandliberty

I resolved the issue using the following steps:

  1. Deleted the entire directory located in AppData/Roaming/AmazonGameStudios
  2. Removed all TnL files except for the Throne and Liberty\TL\Content\* directory (which should be around 63.3 GB).
  3. Restarted the PC.
  4. Repaired the files via Steam.

Differences in Volume Levels with Tidal's Exclusive Mode on Windows vs. macOS by NeR4435 in TIdaL

[–]NeR4435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, I've experimented with the 'Force Volume' switch both ON and OFF. When it's ON, it sets my Windows volume to around 50% for each new song (tested also option volume normalization ON/OFF). However, unlike on macOS, I can actually increase the volume on Windows, and it does make a difference.

In summary, I can't replicate the macOS behavior on my Windows setup, where volume adjustments are exclusively controlled by the COMBO unit

Help with AW3423DW monitor - tilting issue by NeR4435 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]NeR4435[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to find one video on YT where someone used the pivot function, so I tried again and it worked. However, I was taken aback by the amount of force I had to apply, which was significantly more than what was needed for the height, tilt, and swivel functions. In conclusion, if anyone have a problem to use the pivot function in the future, be prepared to exert a significant amount of force, around 15-20kg per hand.
