    Is default CPU core voltage too high? 7600x on ASUS B650-PLUS WIFI

    Well, I went ahead and switched the CPUs on their boards, and the high voltage followed the CPUs. I checked, and I still have 5 days to initiate a RMA with Newegg. If it was yours, would you try a return?

    Is default CPU core voltage too high? 7600x on ASUS B650-PLUS WIFI

    Thanks for replying. I agree that cpu swapping would probably be too disruptive right now. And even if the voltage follows the CPU, a negative voltage offset might be the answer, anyways? I crossposted this on a couple of other boards, and someone said they felt the voltage was normal, which...

    Is default CPU core voltage too high? 7600x on ASUS B650-PLUS WIFI

    I build two identical systems for my daughters. Both contain: • AMD Ryzen 5 7600x Cpu • ASUS B650-PLUS WIFI • G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) • Noctua NH-U12S Coolers • Both PCs have different GPUS (but removing them didn't change voltages) With both systems set to...

    Accelero Xtreme IV 280(X) mounting question

    Hi, Would someone please give me some guidance on mounting the Accelero IV 280(x) on my Visiontek HD 7950? The instructions indicate that I should apply the included thermal pads to the backside of the card where hot components are located on the opposite side. I’ve marked the components...

    celeron D 345

    It's definitely not a fan blade obstruction. I would normally agree with you on a failing fan, but I could only replicate this issue after booting to the memtest cd and running it for a few minutes, and it was fairly consistent. While WinXP was running, I couldn't get it to happen at all. I'm...

    celeron D 345

    Thanks, I needed to hear something like that. I'd feel like crap if my aunt took her pc back to Michigan and it quit running for her. Thanks.

    celeron D 345

    Long story short: I have a Celeron D 345 running in a HP Pavilion a1110n. (it's my Aunt's pc). For some reason, the cpu fan decided to stop its spin while I was running Memtest on a bootable cd. Perhaps the bios intended to hand off fan control to the OS? Anyways, the pc shut itself down...

    Your Mail in Rebate May Be In Jeopardy

    Does anyone know what URLs these guys operate under? I'm about to check my rebate stack. I have about 3 of them out right now. In about 10 years of mailing in dozens of rebates, I've never been screwed out of my money. As a matter of fact, I came out $20 ahead after I stuck it to Pc Mall for...

    msconfig: WTF is this?

    I get nothing with either. I just started using a Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4h motherboard. Can anyone else using this board verify this entry in their startup tasks?

    msconfig: WTF is this?

    Has anyone ever seen this equal sign in their task list? I'm having trouble finding out what it is.

    Hi, I have the Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H. while installing the board my finger brushed one of the smaller blue-tipped capacitors and i heard a tiny popping noise. The capacitor is still on the board doesn't seem to have any more "wiggle" than the other ones like it on the board and windows runs...

    looking for a replacement for Abit KN9 SLI

    Hi, I rma'd my KN9 SLI to newegg and they no longer have it in stock. So, they offered me a choice a $99 refund or a comparable board. I have a geforce 6800gs card and a athlon 64 x2 5200+ proc. I'm looking for am2+ compatible boards in case I want to upgrade, but I'm having a hard time...
