If life gives you lemons, you better make some lemonade so that at least you spend the sourness for something good. The **** thing even does 1900 FCLK on this board, even if it's seemingly pointless over 1866 without a good ol' Uninterruptible Power Supply providing squeaky-clean power. Said...

now that i got back into this account after forgetting the password and email for a month or two Overwatch has had replays for about half a year or a bit more now, which behave very closely to The Real Deal, and which are mostly deterministic in their nature. Thus you can consistently benchmark...

Hi, I'm Bloax You may know me from such tales as Are Fat BIOSes a Threat To My Memory Overclocking? And of course; the recent blockbuster, How To Identify Wooden Integrated Memory Controllers: WTF, my CPU only does single-channel??? I am here to once more share some wild and wacky hardware...

So here's a fun story for you: Back in the start of December, I moved someplace, then I moved back. Seeing that Noctua heatsinks have a nightmarish mounting mechanism, I didn't undo my heatsink - and my 3600 CPU got wrecked the second time. wHoopS So, I replace my 3600 with a 3700x - after a...

They would be for competitive gaming if games could even hold a steady 240 FPS without extreme RAM overclocks. ; )

If this doesn't introduce a significant latency penalty, then that's an incredibly useful feature for the future of high-refresh gaming. Edit: Got to test it out, it doesn't seem to have much of a latency impact. However, it's not doing it properly - it's a hard resolution drop whenever you...

If it pumps out frames as well as an RX480, then it'll be a killer budget competitive game system GPU once you do Funny Things™ to it

The 45w Zen2's are stuck in extreme EPYC demand hell. : ) Also if we're talking rumoured CPUs, then the 3900 non-x which might just be a 3600 but with twice the cores, sounds like a killer CPU for around 400 dollarydoos.

Recouping the initial investment is the hardest part of any videogame release, so it should come as no surprise that quite a few are ready and willing to be helped along in that regard. : )

Preferrably not above 1.325v if you don't want to run into very quick degradation. : - )

Now, if you want to know if you actually need those magic 50 Mhz above 4.3 - then we can take a looksie at something I captured recently; Here's me playing Overwatch on my new 240 Hz monitor that even features backlight strobing, which makes stutters more apparent. Somehow, despite all this...

It's a good idea to buy RAM that's on your motherboard's QVL, if simply for the non-adjustable RAM settings being configured properly for them - as they can make quite the performance impact. Ryzen Compatible is a funny thing leftover from Zen1 :- )

I got a 5700 XT just for an excuse to slap this Morpheus II onto something. What's surprising is that the input latency was noticeably better than on my old RX480 out of the box, and after the IRQ interrupt shenanigans I mentioned in the 5700 XT overclocking review thread, it's completely...

If it otherwise works just fine except for having bizarreties under conditions which don't actually matter, what exactly is the point? Your motorbike helmet gets all weird and wonky when you brush your teeth in it, well - if it does its job properly outside of that scenario, what's the matter?

I'm not sure why you'd have the need to change it a lot in BIOS, as you can't do CCX overclocking in there - and if you did want to do that, all you'd need is a value under 1.32v that boots up just fine.

Pardon the double post, but this forum isn't lively enough to check for people doing minor addendums to their posts. ; ) One thing to bear in mind is that going above 1.325v vCore while doing CCX or all-core (the former yields better results), you can and will degrade your chip with surprising...

You can run https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper in safe mode if you're feeling lazy You should also fiddle around a bit with it, as it's well worth the effort.

When doing all-core on Zen2, don't go above 1.325v (with LLC) unless you want your chip to degrade very quickly. :) My 3600 went from barely squishing out 4.15 Ghz @ 1.375v with fCLK topping out at 1866 to not even being able to sustain 4.125 Ghz at that voltage and throwing out memory errors...

If you want something fun to mess around with, then these cards are absolute magic once you do a rather silly thing to them: Namely, setting the IRQ interrupts to happen on a single, less-busy core using a program someone at Microsoft made in 2007 It will say "Registry value for affinity mask...

A higher refresh rate is only as good at making you hit things as the display's motion clarity - the actual pixel response times that nobody wants to disclose. An atrocious 144Hz panel won't exactly help you in any way besides hooking you on the motion smoothness. I would be curious if you...
