Hello all, I've been building a new workstation using a Ryzen 5800x. Current PC is a i7 3770K so I'm quite of the loop.
Basic specs are
1. Ryzen 5800x
2. MSI Mag Tomahawk X570
3. GSkill DDR 3200 Mhz RAM (32 GB)
4. Noctua NH-D15 cooler with Arctic Silver 5 paste
5. Seasonic 1000w PSU
In the...
You've been an independent source for years and from what I've understood you've even been to court to maintain the right to speak objectively about products. A couple weeks plus or minus isn't going to kill the platform. I can understand an NDA that would give all reviewers an equal chance to...
I guess all my budget minded purchases have prevented me from owning any of these atrocities. Thanks for showing all these off guys, I had a good laugh.
I'm trying to understand the difference between two intel parts

CM8068403377415 - https://ark.intel.com/products/129944/Intel-Core-i3-8100T-Processor-6M-Cache-3_10-GHz
Now one of these parts is...
My observation was with auto restart off and anti-surge on, the anti surge takes priority. Basically it so badly wants to show you that message it powers the PC back on just to show the message. No other reason.
I have an ASUS motherboard that displays this message as well. This happens every time I unplug the power supply from the wall, not exactly an uncommon thing. I have no idea what this feature was meant to do, but its just a pain in the ass. You can go into the BIOS and disable it.
Right now I have 3x ASUS VE247s on my desk. It was a nice setup when I bought it but If I can get nearly the same resolution on a single screen that would be pretty awesome.
What monitor do I want to buy for office work and light gaming? I'd like to wind up with something at least 28 inch. I...
Unfortunately you may be right. For some reason the core voltage jumped to 1.3 volts! Then the machine went nuts, processes were dying, etc. After some fiddling in the BIOS I realized I can manually adjust the core voltage and multiplier. I set the core voltage to 0.85 volts and the multiplier...
I have a core i7 860 that sits in my garage. The garage gets hot this time of year. I noticed CPU temps were getting above 50 C for the better part of the day.
I realized the cores were spending all day at 2.8 ghz. So I enabled Intel Speedstep in the BIOS. Now they sit at 1.2 ghz for most of...
After more investigation, it appears the power supply just decided to give up the ghost. The reason why it wouldn't boot when I hooked up the junk PSU is because of those damned memory slots. Apparently you just have to push as hard as humanly possible to get the memory sticks to seat correctly...
Just dug up a power supply from my junk box. I plugged it into just the motherboard and when I plug the machine in it I still get the red MemOK light. However, pressing the power button now causes the machine to try and start up, but I can't get it to POST.
Today I moved my Asus P7p55dLE into a new case. I was hoping for an uneventful move.
When I got everything moved over, and I mean everything, no new hardware just a new case the MemOK light came on and the machine does not attempt to power up.
I can hold the down the MemOK button forever...
