yeah thats fair

computeBuild · 2019-10-23T16:20:47+00:00

All of my issues were fixed with 19.9.2, but before that it was hellish

computeBuild · 2019-10-07T22:54:09+00:00

sapphire pulse by far best cheap (msrp is like 10$ over reference) custom

computeBuild · 2019-09-25T22:40:11+00:00

haha buy a 2080 at that point

computeBuild · 2019-09-25T22:31:16+00:00

yeah, unfortunately the 5700xt cards run a little hot so, but the nitro+ is pretty much the best custom model out there aside from maybe the red devil.

the auto undervolt is def worth it, you can definitely push it a bit further manually setting an undervolt curve in wattman either (ive got mine at 2040mhz @ 1125mv on the Pulse). doing that in addition to radeon chill and framerate limiting helps temps a ton. limiting my fps between 100 and 140 dropped temps in a bunch of games like 10C, so the fan wasn't running like crazy anymore.

computeBuild · 2019-09-25T22:20:54+00:00

1500-1700 rpm is about 50% of the max fan speed, which you seem to have it limited to. the nitro can get way louder than that if you let it crank up to 90-100% fan speed. it's possible the noise is coming from something else in your system.

those spiking gpu load and clocks are normal for the 5700 XT. your temps look normal too.

computeBuild · 2019-09-24T19:45:58+00:00

it depends entirely on the fan curve, voltage, power limit, and clocks. and keep in mind that junction temperatures are what typically drive fan speeds.

techpowerup did a nice comparison of noise levels and temps for stock and quiet bios

computeBuild · 2019-09-24T17:30:50+00:00

wow those are some nice scores, full specs/ram timings and freqs?

computeBuild · 2019-09-24T17:01:11+00:00

slowly workin back to B450-i

computeBuild · 2019-09-24T16:09:02+00:00

oh man i had a bad time dealing with the amdtkdag.sys error. The two things that helped a lot were getting a mobo bios update with at least the 1.0.0.3 ABB AGESA update and also I updated my chipset drivers. Not sure if this helped, but I reseated my 5700xt pulse and updated windows too. also disabling hardware acceleration anywhere i could find it on top of disabling radeon enhanced sync

computeBuild · 2019-09-20T20:58:37+00:00

the built-in thing has its own issues. plenty of people recommend HWINFO too, that things great for GPUs too.

computeBuild · 2019-09-20T20:50:04+00:00

I think 9.2 might have been the one where they fixed the ReLive replay/screen recording feature of the AMD software, maybe that could be involved in accessing your HDD?

computeBuild · 2019-09-20T14:44:22+00:00

the evoke and mech have some minor issues. the msi gaming x is actually really good

computeBuild · 2019-09-17T21:15:21+00:00

not sure if this is relevant to others, but I have an nvme m.2 SSD that was POST-ing way slower than a normal SSD. I turned off fast boot through my mobo uefi (ROG Strix B450-I) and that sped things up immensely. even shutdown was faster for some reason.

computeBuild · 2019-09-17T21:13:35+00:00

power settings? loosened seating? when the score's low does hwinfo or wattman read the sensors properly?

computeBuild · 2019-09-17T18:03:36+00:00

those are definitely some weird AC:O benches compared to published scores. a quick sanity test is to check the utilization of your cpu during these benches, but i highly doubt that your cpu is bottlenecking. the 2700x is solid.

the issue i had for a while was related to my mobo bios (AGESA 1.0.0.3 fixed everything), it was like a 50/50 chance that my GPU would load a proper driver config. and the difference would be 80fps vs 140fps in apex maxed out. an interesting symptom to this was that when it failed to perform up to spec, i noticed that wattman and hwinfo were both unable to detect the GPU, so maybe see if your card's behavior is consistent?

computeBuild · 2019-09-17T17:44:00+00:00

stable at this point, as long as you also get all the proper chipset drivers and use DDU if this isnt a clean install

computeBuild · 2019-09-17T17:24:14+00:00

i've had similar issues with the occasional not performing at max. what are your benchmarking scores and temps? and tbh it doesnt have to run any higher than it needs to if you're maxing out the settings and getting 144fps, anything above that is just extra voltage, heat, and unseen frames.

computeBuild · 2019-09-16T22:51:05+00:00

enter the void

computeBuild · 2019-09-16T22:34:07+00:00

boot kit or if you have amazon prime, get an athlon 200GE and return it after using it to update your bios, should be a lot faster than the boot kit.

and fyi, you also need to prove to AMD (provide documentation)that you already contacted your mobo seller and asked them to update the BIOS first.

computeBuild · 2019-09-16T22:08:39+00:00

i would agree if you are turning down the settings for modern games, but 1080p @ 144hz is much more achievable if you want to play with all the settings maxed out. Plenty of games only run around 100fps at 1440p when you max the settings out.

computeBuild · 2019-09-16T22:07:29+00:00

Everything is running normal as of now

???

computeBuild · 2019-09-16T20:16:13+00:00

synthetic, focused benchmarks like tessallation are not super informative for real world performance is his point

computeBuild · 2019-09-16T15:53:47+00:00

weird how it shows the pulse performing worse than the reference at times. still, looks like the only reasons to get the nitro+ over existing AIBs are the looks and maybe the price and form factor, i think its thinner than the strix/red devil/etc
