    GPU Stable @ Full Load, Freezes often @ Idle

    The cpu is at stock speeds on the system with the issue. It only exhibited the issue with the RX590 installed. The igpu and a different AMD card didn't show the same issues when I was trying to isolated the cause.

    GPU Stable @ Full Load, Freezes often @ Idle

    I checked what you suggested, and while the voltages appear normal, raising the voltages of the first three P states seems to have helped. It's been a couple hours now and no freezes. Thank you very much for the assist.

    GPU Stable @ Full Load, Freezes often @ Idle

    I recently bought a RX590GME for one of my systems. Under full load it is rock solid under everything I throw at it. My issue is I get freezes at the desktop, while browsing. and when first trying to load games (basically when the card would be at or transitioning to/from a low power state. If...

    Ancient GPU needs replaced. Suggestions?

    I personally have not believed the story about how "miners are buying up all the cards". I think it's pure retail market manipulation in effect by the retailers. I say this based on the fact my brother works at a major retailer in distribution. They have stock of multiple high end cards, but...

    Ancient GPU needs replaced. Suggestions?

    I came to that same realization myself while looking around. ~$200 use to get a decent mid range card of some sort. I don't think the industry realizes something very important. With prices being so high, they're eliminating a lot of their older enthusiasts from the buying market. When the value...

    Ancient GPU needs replaced. Suggestions?

    So due to life, I haven't upgraded my rig in quite a while. This year I'm redoing the whole thing, starting with the GPU. At the moment I've got a 7870xt (cut down 7950) with only 2 GB of Vram. Normally I replace things as they break, but this freaking card just won't die. It's gotten to the...

    What happened to Steam's First Early Access Games?

    KSP was the best gamble I spent money on back in early access. I've gotten ages of playtime and dicking around out of it.

    Alphacool Eiskoffer Lucky Draw

    I have to install a new pump in my loop anyway, so this would be a well timed win :P (old pump collapsed it's intake tubing and burned out lol)

    Unlock and Start Your Car with Your Phone

    Given the lack of scrutiny car software undergoes, and how novel a lot of hacks end up being, can't we just make it a 12 inch long suppository to help us prepare for our cars being stolen?

    Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 sudden problems with cold booting

    I've had this board running without issue for years now. This past week, it suddenly stopped cold booting normally. To get it to boot from a "cold" state ("powered off for a while), I have to now remove the CMOS battery for several minutes and then bridge the clear cmos jumper. It will then boot...

    Chili's Credit Card Data Breach

    They're trying their damnest to be the new Applebee's, low class clientel, no party sizelimits, no gratuities on big parties so youll have a server who probably got stiffed on a 200+ $ party at any point in the day, and way too much more to even go into. There's something wrong at the corporate...

    TrueAudio Next Version 1.2 Now Available on Github

    My understanding is it gets included into a game via plug ins or third party sound layers during development. Steam has it built into some of it's dev tool for use by game makers as well. Also just realized the dedicated asic has been replaced by doing the effects using GPU compute now.

    Kryonaut grizzly paste 10c + higher whats wrong?? bait and switch ?

    You used too much even if it's legit TG. On my 6600k, I got the best results with barely more than enough to cover the heat spreader in a "haze" of TIM. I could still read the info on the cpu through it.
