Don't waste your time and money with a 'test bench' case. The only people who can claim a legitimate use-case are youtubers for presentation or frequent component swaps for reviews. AFAIK no one in the PC building industry does anything other...
This was my first and last SLI setup. Dual GTX1080ti on X99 platform and a i7 5960X. I figured this would be a good rig for VR, boy was I wrong. SLI was only worse in VR than a single GPU.
I ended up removing one of the cards and putting it in...
This is my office setup:
Audeze LCD-X and Chord Hugo2
Klipsch 5.1 reference quintet. I picked up a Yamaha RX-V361 second hand to run them. System replaced my Logitech Z-5500.
Running off a Sound Blaster Z.
I just did this. Tried steam link on a google TV and also tried it on my old HTPC which had a 1080ti in it, which doesn't have the balls to play games at 4k these days. Steam link is awful, there are no two ways about it.
I ended up running...
Wife and kids have been away for a month and I tried to get through Alan Wake 2 while they were away. I made good progress but I couldn't do it. It's just too damn scary playing this while home alone.
Ended up playing GTA v.
Just wondering if anyone else can verify, I dropped my SOC voltage in BIOS to 1.08v. The bios reports 1.11v but all monitoring tools in windows, including Ryzen Master reports it as 1.2V. It never seems to change either and is the only v that...
I have to finally admin defeat, I have no idea how PBO functions or what settings produce a good result. I messed with every setting and nothing seemed to change. The only setting that had any repeatable effect is curve optimisation.
BCLK...
Just tinkering to see the difference. My card seems rock solid at 3030mhz with the bump. If I push any higher it drops back to that clock anyway.
I'm seeing 520W with limit set to 133% so around 80W over the 'just under 450w' reported above...
I just found out that us late 4090 purchasers are punished by a 1070mv core limit. Earlier cards had a 1100mv limit.
Flashed my card, a Gigabyte Aero OC 24G using nvflashk to a Gigabyte Gaming OC 24G (BIOS dated October 22 from Techpowerup). I...
That was me.
This was after flushing with hot vinegar, round two was caustic soda. In the bucket is the caustic soda flush. I'll put it in spoiler tags becuase it could induce trauma.
I loaded up some timespy results if anyone is interested in the difference between stock and lapped IHS, as well as Thermal Grizzly vs Noctua NT-H1. Fan and pump speeds should be fairly consistent between runs. I haven't tried running higher fans...
It doesn't increase flow rate unless you have heavy flow restriction. Running dual D5's doubles head pressure but flow rate remains the same. Two blocks and three radiators isn't really enough to create a noticable drop in flow rate for a single...
I don't know how much flow is restricted but there is no way it would be a 1 PSI drop. There is a pretty large surface area there. If you blow through it you can't feel any restriction at all and when I primed my pumps as usual I didn't notice...
