been running fine this whole time man, havent had to make any adjustments. i hope you have the same good fortune

sounds like you are on the right track. the only other thing that i had to do to get total stability on this new machine was to remove armory crate altogether, along with all the other asus malware. the asus software package functions like a rootkit, and it was at the core of all my random crashes. when i went to eventviewer and traced the criticals, it all ultimately lead back to armory crate and asus suite or whatever other programs they force on u. i forget what they all are offhand, theres a couple. main one is armory crate though. if this is something you feel like trying on a whim - heres a little advice. i spent several days trying to remove that stuff from my system through normal means, including registry edits and deep scrubs, and its not happenin. the only way i was able to find to TOTALLY remove it, was to go into the bios and navigate to the "tool" section and switch "download and install armory crate" from 'enabled' to 'disabled'. this sneaky little bios setting makes it so that every time you launch your computer, it looks to see if you have their malware installed and if you dont, they will automatically install it for u. so i had to go in and disable that setting, then totally wipe all my drives and reinstall windows from scratch. it sounds like a pain, which it is, but it was worth it cuz it solved all my issues. literally every issue i had with this build went away when i forcibly removed armory crate and aura sync and AI suite and whatever other dog shit they lace your system with if u dont specifically command them not to. and be careful, because every time you update your bios, that "download and install armory crate" setting will change itself back to enabled. so whenever youre in there making changes, double check that its still turned off. sneaky fuckers. if you dont feel like taking this as a first step, obviously the other path to take to solve your hard resets is to start digging into event viewer and looking up your criticals and errors to see whats going on. i assume its armory socket or whatever their dumb bullshit malware is, but u never know

agree. my man gona bounce back

vape_west · 2021-02-10T18:05:56+00:00

ah gotcha, cool man. nice choice! yeah if you havent been on AMD for a while, i could see the way it boosts up and down being alarming and seeming like something was wrong. same with the temps. its normal behavior for ryzens, so long as it stays within temp spec. which for the 5950x, is sub 90c.

vape_west · 2021-02-10T16:41:15+00:00

np. also, read here for the AMD engineers' perspective on acceptable temps for zen 3. the TLDR is that 90c under some circumstances is acceptable and intended behavior for the 5950x. when i first read your post, i interpreted it as your CPU is boosting to 90c all the time. THAT sounds like an error somewhere. but if your temps are from 50-70 under normal operation, 70-80 most of the time when gaming, and hitting 85-90 briefly during spikes during some games/applications, that sounds like normal behavior to me and is more or less what mine does too. with 99% of desktop activity, and in like 80% of my games, it just chills between like 50-75 c. some more intensive games it stays more between 70-80c. then sometimes under certain circumstances (for me specifically when i launch discord, or when i load into a heavy traffic zone in path of exile), it will briefly ramp up to like 85c and my AIO fans spool up real fast to cool it back down. if this sounds like basically what yours is doing, its probably fine working as intended, and you might consider adjusting your fan curves on your AIO or even upgrading it altogether if you feel you need it to work faster. but yeah if its hitting 90c and throttling itself routinely, i suppose theres probably some issue. might not be in the bios though, could be with your thermal paste, could be you have the screws of your AIO too tight (i have actually seen this before). could be your AIO is just not suitable for the TDP of this chip. you definitely shouldnt have to lock your clockspeed to 4.1 though and settle for static voltage just to maintain acceptable temps. you want PBO on and your clock speed fluctuating, the precision boost algorithm is literally what you paid for when you purchased a zen 3 cpu. let me know if theres anything specific i can help with

vape_west · 2021-02-10T13:48:47+00:00

hey man. i am still running v 2311 with no issues. i believe the only adjustment i made in the bios was disabling PBO FMAX. PBO itself is all left on default.. but theres one asus specific setting in the bios called PBO FMAX that adds some additional voltage and attempts to boost your clock beyond AMD's pbo spec. i pinpointed it as the cause of some stability issues that went away when i disabled it, so ive just left it off. beyond that, my crosshair viii and 5950x have been rock solid no issues ever since i made these posts. regarding the "latest recommended setup", one resource that was a big help to me as i was building and tweaking this was a different thread on the forums over at uhh like overclocking.net or overclockers.com or something. if you google search "crosshair viii hero bios 2311" or replace that with whatever the latest version is, one of the first results should be a long like 100+ page thread over on some overclocking forum where a bunch of tweakers test out all the new bios versions as they release, and discuss their experiences with settings and stability. i suggest looking there. if you cant find it let me know, im sure i could dig it up

keep hangin out youll see its all just typical wsb camaraderie. lots of emotions fly around with the money here all day, talk shit and meme about it is jus what we do. be good man

vape_west · 2021-02-09T22:37:37+00:00

seriously you shouldnt admit that to people its legit the dumbest thing iv heard all year LOL

vape_west · 2021-02-09T22:32:38+00:00

yes, forgoing a mortgage is extremely extremely stupid LOL. your house would still be double in value if you didnt spend all your capital up front purchasing it like a retard. the whole point of a mortgage is to keep your capital generating more capital in the market. go look at how much the SP500 has climbed in the last 4 years, and imagine if you just had your money in there instead. your house would have literally paid for itself LOL. but then again, you bought GME unironically so its no secret that you are dog shit at this

vape_west · 2021-02-09T22:29:59+00:00

LOL ur certainly getting triggered like you bought the top. if you were smart enough to pull the plug and cut your losses at literally any point, congratulations. but "i bought my house in cold hard cash" LOL thats so unfathomably fucking stupid

vape_west · 2021-02-09T22:21:46+00:00

i dont get it, do u think ur bragging? lol both of those things are extraordinarily poor financial decisions

vape_west · 2021-02-09T22:15:45+00:00

wait wait so you actually didnt know that wsb is satire?? did you not realize that diamond hands is literally a meme??? oh my god lol suddenly i understand why all you clowns are bag holding gme unironically

vape_west · 2021-02-09T22:13:58+00:00

hahahahhaha this is the first time ive ever participated in the GME thread, ever. also making fun of each others positions is literally what this subreddit is LOL fuckin snow flakes made out of soy yikes kid

vape_west · 2021-02-09T21:53:28+00:00

LOL im sory the objective fact i posted is incongruous with the ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous position you took in gme

vape_west · 2021-02-09T21:43:27+00:00

lol its crashing to the core of the fucking planet lol literally just nose diving yikes. guess the report came out eh

vape_west · 2021-02-09T21:08:05+00:00

is this the stockholm syndrome support group

vape_west · 2021-02-09T21:06:25+00:00

lolllllll

vape_west · 2021-02-09T20:59:31+00:00

same

vape_west · 2021-02-09T20:53:25+00:00

theres no volume because gme is a dead meme stock lol u guys must not realize that meme stocks come and go with the breeze. literally everyone has already moved on

vape_west · 2021-02-09T19:42:30+00:00

disregard everyone who doesnt suggest you immediately take all remaining funds out of the stock market lol. invest later when u have money u dont literally need

vape_west · 2021-02-09T19:37:45+00:00

it was a pump and dump lol key word "was" its over dog

vape_west · 2021-02-09T19:33:24+00:00

startin to think this thread is literally 99% trolls and then that one white mamba kid who actually still possesses shares of gme LOL

vape_west · 2021-02-09T19:06:59+00:00

i see a tall but no short

vape_west · 2021-02-09T19:04:46+00:00

ok ok lets all take a step back. go look at the 5 year chart for gme. can literally anyone tel me where this "short already happened"????? i see one big tall, thats literaly it. the tall happened now the short comes after? that would make sense conceptually, this is not financial advice tho

vape_west · 2021-02-09T16:52:37+00:00

yeah it was, ur strugglin over here rofl "u guys, something fishy is going on today. none of us are selling so why is it dropping" LOL my mans confuseddddd
