    Please share your afterburner voltage frequency curve

    I'm set to 1920 at a maximum of 900mv on my 3080. I did it because of the noise.

    Please share your afterburner voltage frequency curve

    I'm not sure if it still does this but mine did that (I think even worse) if I had it set to "prefer maximum performance" in the nvidia control panel. The clocks would stay at the maximum frequency even sitting at the desktop. If I leave it on "Normal" its fine.

    Rtx 3060 questions

    It feels strange having more ram than my 3080 that actually runs 4k. I'll fix that with 4000 (or RDNA3 equiv) at some point.

    Rtx 3060 questions

    Temps are ok but I wouldn't want to live with the fan that high. Just got a 3060 for $331 out the door (open box). Its a plain dual fan ASUS. My advice tweak the card. I only dropped from 170w to 150w with lowering the voltage curve but it is much quieter and a bit faster than stock (I have...

    Should have bought a 1080 Ti

    About right I just side graded (open box it was $100 cheaper) myself. For old stuff its on par but it has a good boost with Async compute and DLSS, etc. My timespy GPU score is 15% higher than the 1080ti in the same system. Just tried DLSS 3160x2160 on a 1440p monitor (DSR) and it looked...

    Samsung announcment

    Ssd drives (and ram a bit) are expected to drop a good amount over the next 3+months. Easily by 30%+. If you need it though I just got a 2TB with the free game.

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X Overclocking @ [H]

    I'd hope so I'm taking a chance on the 2nd revision that doesn't have much feedback yet. If it lasts until something better is available I'm good. Only issue is if its a leaky one :(

    Inland Professional 480gb SSD - Here's what's inside

    I've gotten TWO 500GB open box 860 EVOS (m.2) from MC for $80. Better deal. I actually think people are getting the 860 EVO m.2 and deciding why not get the 970 EVO? Both had about 500-600GB written and the full 5 year warranty. I haven't seen any 2.5 in open box deals.

    So who is pre-purchasing the X399 motherboards and Threadripper CPU's tomorrow?

    Holding off for winning the lotto or selling the house but I did get a 2nd Ryzen 7 (1800x) since the price dropped so much when threadripper launched :D

    Ryzen 7 1700 + B350 Overclocking Tidbits

    I'm running off a B350 too (ASRock b350 matx) just installed a Corsair 110i and added a few hundred Mhz. I've been as high as 4.0 (@ 1.4375) but for some reason monitoring programs never show it to go over about 3850. BTW Stock cooler 3.7Ghz 1.25v = 81-82C With the new one I can do 3.9...

    Ryzen Owners Thread

    Quick settings change from 3.7Ghz 1.25v on the spire to 3.9Ghz 1.375v on water AND still 20-25C cooler :) Its only in 45 min now but its hanging around at 61C.

    Bit of a Rant about Ryzen & AMD

    I have a 6700k and now Ryzen 7 1700 each doing what they are strongest at. Not that it wouldn't game much worse than my 6700k I run everything at 4K. I considered just replacing my 6700k but will let a few revisions go through first (or wait for intel MAINSTREAM 6 core ;) )

    1080ti Pre-order, Retail, and AIB availability watch

    EVGA. I think Nvidia has a few makers (I believe Foxconn is one). I've not seen the Gaming X ever go over 78C usually its 70-72C. Much happier with the new card.

    AMD Ryzen 1700 CPU vs 1700X CPU Review @ [H]

    I'm doing my Ryzen 1700 a bit differently more like a server. - Moving the DVR software off the i5 3570 - Removing all VMs from the 6700k and moving to Ryzen - Moving 32GB of my 64GB to the Ryzen - Moving PLEX to the Ryzen - Moving all spinning drives to the Ryzen - Cleanup and streamline...

    1080ti Pre-order, Retail, and AIB availability watch

    FedEx still says I haven't picked it up! I did ship to store I took a chance even though it "wasn't available for pickup yet" went there and they had it.
