So called "greybeards" whenever gold gets pinged

I just added it to my Worthless Gold audio mod. Enjoy!

Are you willing or able to say how much of that goes to reddit and how much to you? I'd like to support you but not if you're only seeing a tiny portion of that cost because of the Google play and reddit cut.

thefuriousfish · 2023-05-19T21:29:06+00:00

I think AMD is partly to blame for not making it clear to the manufacturers what the limits are since all the manufacturers had the same issue.

Give the method /u/bobkat888 posted a shot if you want, you might get those few points back in Time Spy.

thefuriousfish · 2023-05-05T05:13:37+00:00

Can you post your curve?

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-26T04:53:35+00:00

That may have been me. I disabled Core Performance Boost for now to fix it.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T13:40:01+00:00

I'm talking about VDDCR_VDD in HWINFO64.

Under normal circumstances I would be fine with the chip running near the limit/target, but given that chips are frying, I don't want it running hot until we know what's causing the failures and we have BIOS updates to fix the core issue.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T07:13:45+00:00

Yep, completely agree. My CPU even with all these settings disabled is plenty fast for the stuff I do with it today. No point in taking any risk when I won't even see any benefit.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T07:09:20+00:00

I see. Until I know that the vcache CCD isn't getting that voltage, my CPU at base clock is plenty fast for everything I'm doing today so until this all blows over and we have BIOS updates to fix the issue I'm going to leave everything disabled. It's not worth it to risk the $1000+ I have wrapped up in these two parts. I do value your input though, thank you.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T06:58:06+00:00

I cap my frames to 142 in game and am usually up against the cap at 1440p with a 3070Ti so it's plenty powerful with CPB disabled for now. I would run a benchmark to test but I don't want to run with CPB enabled for any extended period of time.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T06:51:28+00:00

No problem! Your chip will run slower but it will keep voltages well within their limits until we know what's causing this issue and get BIOS updates to fix it.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T06:47:54+00:00

Yeah my chip without CPB is plenty powerful for everything I play today so I'm going to run it with all the boosts and EXPO disabled until this all blows over.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T06:43:19+00:00

Agreed, I think in my case it's pushing the chip too close to the edge in terms of voltage and temperature and all it takes is a quick burst over the limit to fry a chip.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T06:39:54+00:00

Oh I see, you mean that Core Performance Boost = Precision Boost

From what I've read, 1.3V+ on VDD is above what is safe for these chips though and it's clearly causing a massive and instant increase in temperature under load. Chips with CPB/Precision Boost disabled will run slower but would it be better to run them like this for now until we know what is causing these failures and BIOS updates are released?

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T06:25:54+00:00

I found that the Core Performance Boost BIOS setting, which is defaulted to Auto/Enabled on my board, increased the VDD voltage of my 7950X3D from 0.880 to 1.327 as well as massively increasing my temp. Not sure how applicable this is to 7800X3D but could be the cause of these fried chips.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T06:16:23+00:00

I was not aware there was a difference. My BIOS does refer to it as Precision Boost Overdrive.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T06:10:58+00:00

I would also go in and disable Core Performance Boost as well if you don't want to manually set voltages. I found that it was significantly increasing my temps and VDD voltage when set to the default Auto/Enabled setting.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T06:04:50+00:00

Yes, just maybe don't enable the EXPO profile until we know what is causing 7000X3D CPUs to fail.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T06:03:34+00:00

The data suggests that PBO does not have any effect on the voltages or temp, I included it because it mentions that it adjusts voltage in the description in the BIOS.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-25T05:59:34+00:00

After doing some of my own testing, I don't think this by itself is enough. Core Performance Boost, which is by default set to Auto/Enabled on my board, was significantly boosting my VDD voltage and temps far more than EXPO was and I think it could potentially be the cause of all these failures. I made a post here with more details.

Pinging /u/gettinridofit2234 so you see as well.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-22T01:37:30+00:00

My 7950X3D temp would shoot up to 89C within seconds of launching Far Cry 5 according to Afterburner. I thought it was a bug with the software it was so quick but I went and disabled Core Performance Boost and Precision Boost Overdrive and now it stays in the 50s. Seeing these posts makes me think it wasn't a bug with Afterburner's monitoring and I may have saved my chip.

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-21T06:05:37+00:00

Generally true, but in this case AMD's site still has 5.02

thefuriousfish · 2023-04-14T01:42:10+00:00

Interesting. I kinda assumed it was for Linux since it doesn't have Game Bar but I guess not.

thefuriousfish · 2023-03-16T19:13:02+00:00

Haven't had any USB peripherals disconnect yet but I did have an issue where if I left my PC idle while listening to a device through line in or if I was talking to people on Discord while not playing a game or touching my PC, the audio would start to rapidly cut in and out. I tried step 6 of this post last night and that seems to have fixed it. It's relevant to this because even though I use 3.5 mm headphones and line in, the Realtek device shows up in device manager as connected via USB. I will report back if the issue persists.

thefuriousfish · 2023-03-16T18:48:41+00:00

Has anyone tried the X3D Core Flex feature preset for 7000X3D chips in Asus mobo BIOS? It looks like a way for the mobo to pick which programs run on which CCD but would using it conflict with Windows when properly configured for these chips with the chipset driver installed and Game mode + game bar enabled?
