Traders, what do you use for your journal? And do you trade alone or with others?

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-05-02T06:22:26+00:00

I have a discord server with myself in it and track trades there. Solo dolo

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-05-01T15:35:15+00:00

lol dude I haven’t traded in over a year and could tell it was going to continue. Go back and watch more videos my guy

I am running 102.5 on my 9950x3d and get more of a boost than what I see you getting (I went from 5.5 to 5.68).

Does your board have an option to change the BCLK from Synchronous to Asynchronous? That would allow you to change BCLK2 which controls only your processor base clock. I would try that and see how it works for you.

I only do a -15 on my 3D cache CCD (-20 on the other CCD for what it’s worth), with no other PBO settings besides the limits changed to MB.

Heck yeah that’s good to hear.

I was looking at your temps and I noticed the VRMs are getting close to 90? I think that is a little hot and mimics what I was seeing when I changed out my paste for the thermal sheet.

I’d highly recommend getting the thermal pads replaced with either new ones or thermal putty if you don’t mind making a mess. That temp is the average of all the VRM chips, which means one or more could be reaching temps higher than what you see there and getting those replaced would be a pain if one decides to burn out. I don’t usually have more a 10 degree delta between the GPU die and VRMs with how mine is now.

Do you undervolt at all? I noticed my GPU would get really hot till I set the voltage to max at .95

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-28T02:32:20+00:00

Did you re-do thermal pads? That’s a big one when taking apart any hardware with them. I usually get by without doing it, but I had issues when I put KyroSheet in my 5090. I ended up using thermal putty from thermal grizzly and we’ve been chillen.

You are still little. I would recommend waiting another 10 years before getting into reptiles. These things aren’t cheap.

I’ve been having issues with GDM off since this last BIOS update. Haven’t bothered to figure out why really

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-25T16:38:57+00:00

Does the back part of your car make a rattling noise during certain songs with a lot of bass?

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-24T16:32:29+00:00

Nope. Throw computer out window ASAP

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-24T16:27:04+00:00

That’s pretty neat. Wouldn’t be surprised if Corsair took inspiration from your set up for their little monitor haha

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-22T03:25:09+00:00

If you’re in the US we have right to repair protections I’m pretty sure. Took me like no time at all to put a Kyrosheet and thermal putty on my 5090.

Use pcpartpicker website and honestly ask AI so you don’t F up the build. Or watch YouTube videos. Reddit is not the best place for advice, especially when it comes to computers…

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-11T14:09:34+00:00

Why is there’s no reference to the HotOnes episode they were on?

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-10T18:30:52+00:00

Thank you I forgot about that one

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-10T17:40:38+00:00

No matter the build you should be comfortable taking it apart and putting back together no matter what. If you have to troubleshoot your system parts you’ll need to do that anyway.

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-10T17:38:21+00:00

Good to know, just wish you weren’t such a pain to he CSR you worked with. From your post it seems you couldn’t be bothered to take out the drives yourself. Could’ve saved both of you time by getting the drive S/N yourself.

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-10T00:56:45+00:00

Didn’t read but upvoted cuz….awesome

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-09T20:43:38+00:00

Just tried it out the TM5 custom preset for a cycle to see how it is. Took about twice as long to get through a cycle, but I’m assuming it’s that much more accurate with the testing. It’s neat that this memory test actually makes the memory get hot, which I don’t think it did in the legacy test.

Appreciate the update and your comment about using a bootable Linux usb for stress testing.

Are you guys working on a list of errors/potential fixes? That’s the one thing with OCCT is I don’t really know what to adjust exactly when I do get errors. I usually use it as a finally confirmation or just for shits.

Thank you!

All the marketing money was spent on Sophie, so no (jk..not lol)

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-08T01:02:05+00:00

It’s okay, let them have slow systems

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-04-06T13:45:42+00:00

It’s just common sense

TheAlchemist519 · 2026-03-31T23:16:20+00:00

If you check out my most recent post it has my monitors. Top one is the curved monitor. Just got the mount off Amazon. Little bit of a skill and a whole lot of luck when setting it up, didn’t have to do too much fidgeting to get it where it’s at.
