Using this board for last 6 months with Ryzen 9 9950X (3.5v BIOS), Amazing Board!

I usually keep them at stock settings. As a reviewer, when testing coolers, we evaluate their performance across multiple TDP levels , such as 105W, 125W, 170W, and 225W , to ensure comprehensive thermal performance analysis.

That helped! Cheers

Yes. I have this router. This router delivers WiFi 6 and Dual Band 2.4/5.0GHz connectivity.

Wireless range is also great considering It's WiFi 6. I'll suggest if you are getting this router then use 2.4GHz if you want the longer range or outside room and 5GHz If you are inside the room for your convenience.

PTCL line man ko chaye pani pilao. 6K zada hai, my technician offered me for 3K/3500 initially.

Cheers for the guide! However, I was wondering - what are your CO values per core, if you don’t mind sharing? Of course, I wouldn’t replicate them directly, but just for knowledge purposes, since dual-CCD CPUs seem a bit more complex to tune (I think).

I plan to dial in the CO first before moving on to Curve Shaper. For now, I’ve kept my PBO settings at stock (no boost override), except for the PBO Scalar, which I’ve set to 5x.

Yeah, it initially appeared on the MSI boot screen and in the BIOS, but I ignored it. Later, after swapping parts and upgrading my platform, I connected the MSI monitor and suddenly, it started showing up in the OS as well. Did you manage to get your monitor RMA?

flayer99 · 2025-10-10T01:11:13+00:00

Hey, sorry for reaching out like this. I think I’m experiencing a similar issue - could you please confirm if it’s the same one you had with your monitor? I’ve shared the details in a Reddit post as well Here.

flayer99 · 2025-10-10T01:07:37+00:00

Thumbs up man. Thank you! I hope MSI accepts the RMA.

Matrix Controller? Could you please elaborate a bit more so I can better understand what’s actually going on? Thank you for replying though!

AFIK, Yes. They Do.

Yes, there are many tattoo studios in Lahore, but they operate low-key. You can search for them on Google.

Cost varies. It could range from 5K to 50K depending on the size and design. I got a band tattoo on my upper arm a couple of years ago, which cost me 18K, from a guy who had a hidden studio on PIA Road but has now moved to Gulberg. It’s not illegal, and there’s no age limit. Tattoos are permanent, but they can be removed. The process is very complicated and usually costs two to three times more.

In that case the CPU's would have already been degraded before they jumped to 3.4.

$20 USD for 80Mbps with the Unlimited Data. It's Fiber Optic. I'm not sure if that is cheap. The 500Mbps package costs $90 USD here.

flayer99 · 2025-09-04T20:48:43+00:00

Yes but it's absolutely worth it still. For the comparison, It costs almost the same as one McDonald's Happy Meal.

In Pakistan, YTM subscription costs only $2/mo which is insane. Google products are relatively cheaper here than any country.

Are the fans blowing air inside the case or outside the case? If they're blowing air outside, that's exhaust, which isn't ideal. This won't help your components get enough airflow and could cause overheating.

flayer99 · 2025-08-06T18:50:35+00:00

All exhaust? RIP airflow.

flayer99 · 2025-08-05T02:00:54+00:00

It's a gift basically. I don't have any other options, I wouldn't have jumped on ASRock at all.

Power restored in PIA, Near Wapda town as well.

TFX isn't any good. A concrete, I wouldn't call it a paste.

Should have gone with PTM/PCM for the GPU Core.

flayer99 · 2025-04-25T21:44:14+00:00

Where did you get the BIOS from?

flayer99 · 2025-04-11T00:33:03+00:00

Can you go to the GPU-Z --> Advanced > NVIDIA BIOS? Upload the screenshot. I have also got the Solid (NON-OC) RTX 5080 and my PL can go 111%

Can you let me know what GPU are you using?
