    How do I stress test an SSD?

    My 5 year old SSD drive started to fail yesterday. I started to see random I/O errors crop up when doing intense writes to the drive. The SSD lifetime was reported to be around 99%, so I wasn't expecting it to fail for quite a few years. In order to isolate the failure, I tried running some...

    Windows 10 cyclic temperature spikes on Ryzen 3900X

    Yep, I do test stuff - The reason I asked about how to use Process Lasso to isolate an app that was causing the core boost/temperature spikes was because I found absolutely no correlation between the temperature spikes and app=>CPU usage shown by Process Lasso. I figured that I must be missing...

    Windows 10 cyclic temperature spikes on Ryzen 3900X

    Hi - I installed Process Lasso to check it out. How did you identify the offending process(es) with Process Lasso?

    Windows 10 cyclic temperature spikes on Ryzen 3900X

    I am not overthinking this. Before my last (still operational) system, my previous 2 motherboards had failed prematurely (about 2 years each) due to poor motherboard temperature/power management. Both failed on the motherboard voltage regulator section, with failed power supply/regulator...

    Windows 10 cyclic temperature spikes on Ryzen 3900X

    Actually - Since I do hardware qualification on electronics, the reason I am trying to get this spiking resolved is because this constant temperature spiking causes wear and tear on the motherboard components and the CPU. I always aim to reduce component "idle" temperatures as much as...

    Windows 10 cyclic temperature spikes on Ryzen 3900X

    Hi, SnowBeast - I already tried nec_v20's profiles a few weeks ago. nec_v20 did great work on that! However, it doesn't do anything about the Ryzen temperature spikes - the temperature spikes still occur using his configurations. I have an update regarding HWInfo64: When HWInfo64 is running in...

    Windows 10 cyclic temperature spikes on Ryzen 3900X

    Update #2: I built up a Win10 Windows to Go drive (it takes a LONG TIME). I loaded the latest AMD drivers, and updated to the latest Win10x64 v1909. After letting the system settle down, I didn't see the cyclic spikes every 10 seconds like I do on my regular PC. The CPU temperature dropped...

    Windows 10 cyclic temperature spikes on Ryzen 3900X

    I do have one update: I just ran a Linux Ubuntu 20 LTS Live USB, and there were no temperature spikes at all after the system had settled down (Read from the motherboard LED display). Additionally, the Ubuntu idle temperature was rock-solid at 33 DegC, which is about 2-3 DegC lower than my...

    Windows 10 cyclic temperature spikes on Ryzen 3900X

    I'll goof around today, and do a new Win10 install again to confirm/refute my memory on this. I'm an oldf@rt. I misremember stuff all the time now. Hmmm ... If I remember right, I used to misremember stuff when I was younger, too - but now I have an excuse.

    Windows 10 cyclic temperature spikes on Ryzen 3900X

    pendragon1 - I don't see these spikes occurring on the motherboard's LED temperature display when I have the PC in the BIOS Setup pages. I agree with Furious_Styles that the BIOS is probably running a fixed (and probably very minimal) clock speed to assure valid operation in the BIOS. I can say...

    Windows 10 cyclic temperature spikes on Ryzen 3900X

    This isn't due to motherboard monitoring software. The temperature spikes occur regardless of whether I have HWInfo64 running or not. How do I know this? I'm lucky enough that my MSI X570 ACE motherboard has a built-in temperature LED display on the motherboard that I can use to monitor my...

    Windows 10 cyclic temperature spikes on Ryzen 3900X

    Hi - I have a Win10x64 (v1909) running on my MSI X570 ACE + Ryzen 3900X system. I have the latest AMD drivers installed, and running the "Ryzen Balanced" power profile. Even with absolutely nothing installed on a fresh Win10 installation, I see periodic 8 to 10 DegC (around 36 DegC => 46 DegC)...

    i7 4770K/ 4790K Owners what Ryzen did you upgrade to?

    I recently upgraded my previous system, which was a Core i7 3770K (the generation before the i7 47xx). I have a Ryzen 3900X with an AMD X570-based motherboard for future-proofing. My new system is really fast, and a very nice upgrade from my 7+ year-old machine. There are a lot of bottlenecks...

    FirePro M6100 graphics problems

    I have a new Dell M6800 with the FirePro M6100 FireGL V installed. I am running Win7x64 SP1 on the laptop. When I minimize just about any open window down to the taskbar, I will frequently see the window begin to shrink and then it will immediately freeze and become semi-transparent for a few...

    EVGA Nvidia GTX 560 TI temperature?

    I have a fairly new EVGA Nvidia GTX 560 TI GPU installed in my system (about 3 months old). It currently has the stock cooling fan installed. Normally, my GPU temperature hangs around 36 DegC, When I start playing games the GPU temperature goes up to around 77 degC. I have never heard the GPU...
