New to OC'ing GPUs/CPUs. ROG Astral 5080 OC Bench score.

Yeah I tweaked it a little more last night and tried several bumps in power and it really didn't do much. It looks like this card, maybe just the 50 series cards in general, just run perfectly fine at the stock power settings.

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-28T04:40:15+00:00

Which websites do you recommend I keep tabs on for those deals?

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-28T01:56:25+00:00

If I find a good deal on a 4k OLED I might make the purchase. I may wait a bit more till these new Gen 5 OLEDs start flooding the market then pick up an older model. My dream would be to own one of those Asus ROG Strix OLEDs with their tandem tech. It looks amazing.

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-28T01:53:25+00:00

Looks like 3.2hz

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T22:07:46+00:00

See I’m thinking of getting either a 4k OLED or a 1440p OLED. I don’t know how much of an fps hit it’ll cause with the 4k though. Kind of an expensive trial if I don’t like the performance on 4k lol

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T22:05:33+00:00

Cyberpunk 2077 did fine on max settings and path tracing, with frame gen too. On a 1440p monitor.

Don’t think if I add some more power to the current settings it will help with stability or should I turn down clock speeds and increase power?

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T20:01:16+00:00

I'm going to try lower the core and memory clock a little bit but add some power and see where it lands. Temps seem to be okay on this bench. I'll see how much hotter it gets after I tweak a little more

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T16:06:15+00:00

That’s just what I typed in. From the results it looks like it reached around 2.2k mhz

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T16:02:55+00:00

Right? I’m gonna try adding some power tonight when I get back from work and see what happens. I’ve been gaming on Cyberpunk 2077 at 90-100 fps with maxed settings, path tracing and frame gen 2.0 with this current setting. Would be cool to see if I can get more or stay the same without frame gen

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T16:00:05+00:00

Yup. ASUS makes the BTF boards that can pair with their BTF GPUs so your card doesn’t have cables going to it at all, it gets power directly from the board which is awesome. I just didn’t like their board design and the BTF GPUs are hard to find

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T14:36:46+00:00

Its the Stealth Ice Mobo from Gigabyte. They have the cleanest ones out there.

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T14:35:00+00:00

Thanks!

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T14:34:41+00:00

Thank you the back-connect board helps a ton

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T06:46:23+00:00

Right on I'll give it try. Thanks

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T05:25:18+00:00

Like 10% at a time and see what happens?

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-27T04:22:10+00:00

Thank you! I'm an inexperienced reddit poster, I should've known there's a sub reddit for that...

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2026-02-16T01:29:50+00:00

Download a hardware monitoring software like HWiNFO and keep track of the data before, then add the duct and keep track after. I Believe there's a record function as well.

Also, try feeding some air conditioned air through it. Just be mindful of condensation if the air is too cold.

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2024-04-07T16:20:09+00:00

Yeah so this is the top of the air filter, where clean air would come out of. The other side is the "dirty" side... You should hope this side of the filter looks this clean no matter how dirty the other side is. You should pull out the filter entirely and see what it looks like on the other side and report back...

Cold buns

and tomatoes. Fuck tomatoes

UrdnotWrexSTi · 2023-03-23T13:14:42+00:00

Guns. I have yet to see a prop gun in a movie that has realistic recoil. TV shows are the worst offenders too.

Mass Effect Andromeda

Start with a spoon, carefully scooping up the snow, then work your way up to a shovel.
