    Lots of issues for few weeks with my PC. 5900x / Dark Hero

    Thanks for the update. Personally, I'd reinstall Windows and not overclock it until your system is put through the ringer for several days at least. If reinstalling windows will be an arduous process for you, then I'd run it as is for a few days. I would not overclock it during this time...

    haha solid advice. Believe me I have thought about it (switching to the 5950) but at the end of the day I figured I wouldn't gain any day to day benefits- not for what I do. I've been playing Elden Ring maxed out and my system has been handling everything really well. What more can I ask for?

    Have you changed PSUs while using these Cable Mod cables? I think you would have known if they were the wrong cables.... I know reinstalling Windows sucks, but that could be an option as well, especially if you tried everything else. How were things today?

    Do have your PSU 8 pin power connector hooked up as well? Have you tried leaving out the CMOS batter for an hour? Shut down Unplug the PSU power cable Press the power on button for 5-10 seconds Remove the CMOS battery for an hour (or replace it if needed) Plug everything back in and restart.

    Yea, this is strange. Any restarts or freezes after you adjusted the AIO?

    Microcenter: 5950X $499.99

    The more I read these replies, the more I'm contemplating returning the 5900 and getting the 5950... ;-) If I was still doing video and heavy photo editing, then I would have gone with the 5950... I did think about going AM5, but the cost/benefit ratio [for me] just wasn't there.

    I just went through something similar when I updated my cooler. (It looks like we have near identical rigs.) I have the Hero VIII. Mine did something wonky. I ended up resetting the BIOS, then couldn't get into the BIOS page because I did not have the legacy setting enabled (it was set to...

    100%. I was chatting with someone at work who said, I'd be "future proofing" if I went with the 5950. I think the same about the 5900. I'm happy with it.

    BB had both the 5900 and the 5950.... The latter was $160 more (they price matched). I ended up getting the 5900 and upgraded my 7-3700x. A part of me wishes I got the 5950... but for what I do, the extra cost probably wouldn't have been worth it. (Moderate work, gaming and light photo...

    New AMD build in 15 years...Any advice?

    Nice! I thought I read that there was some high temps with the VRM on these MSI boards... i.e. 100C??? Did MSI fix that with a BIOS update?
