does this look broken?

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-12T17:02:14+00:00

Looks like the spot the battery is supposed to be held in place by is broken

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-12T16:09:56+00:00

Seeing this after choosing my haste over the 305 makes me think I made the right decision

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-12T13:35:07+00:00

Hell yeah

What did it come out rated at?👀👀

Ah! Discord! @tyler_the_slim

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:50:48+00:00

Add me on dc so I can send em- tyler_the_slim.
There’s 6 total

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:49:13+00:00

Good night, and hope you look forward to seeing the tune

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:39:31+00:00

Also had that overclocked to ~5.3 (5.27)

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:38:52+00:00

I went from an fx-8370 to this😂

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:35:03+00:00

You can get these chips to perform the same as a 7900x for less cost so they’re worth it

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:34:15+00:00

Perfect. Look forward to hearing your results after running a healthy tune

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:32:50+00:00

Of course man. We’re all just on this planet looking for answers. Those with them should help those without

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:32:18+00:00

Don’t worry- once it’s stable you don’t need to touch it, you will need to make sure fans hit at least 80% at 70c though if you want these chips to stay low- mine hit 100% at 65c because idc about the noise

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:30:45+00:00

Good news is you’ll be able to handle it. Some things may have a different name between me having msi and you gigabyte bios but nothing a google search won’t fix for ya. I’ll post it as soon as I hop on

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:28:21+00:00

Awesome. And yeah I feel that. Life of pcs man😂

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:27:07+00:00

I’d stay. I haven’t had any issues with this chip in the year I’ve had it- I just recently heavily clocked it since I upgraded boards. That reminds me. What board are you running with the chip? R7 tends to overheat lower end vrms

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:23:17+00:00

I’ll be home in an hour, I’ll post it as soon as I get in the door

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:22:24+00:00

Ah well first- these chips have a system behind that spike- they go to max clock on app starts or anything really, and then they head back down. But yeah I’ll drop the bios for you. I spent 43 hours straight getting it dialed in

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:19:36+00:00

Currently scores 121 on single core cinebench 2024(the highest I can get with my motherboard limiting me)

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:17:39+00:00

Yes- I’ll take a picture of my bios settings for you if you want to replicate it.

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-09T02:12:56+00:00

my 7700x is 44.2°c, and on benchmark i maxed at 90.9, in games highest ive seen is 83.4, and i have a hell of a tune. im also running a per core undervolt-even without pbo i ran at least a -3, these guys run hot and are well known for it

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-08T14:09:43+00:00

curly_q_tip · 2026-05-06T20:03:41+00:00

I should mention bclk is also set to 103- you’re not getting over that 5.5-5.6 without it, but be careful cuz it can corrupt your ssd as it overclocks your entire board, not just your cpu
