    How to compile data from Afterburner+Rivatuner?

    Is there an easy way to compile data from these 2 programs? It's a bunch of numbers along a graph, and compiling that data manually would take forever. I imagine there is a program equivalent to Bench Viewer for FRAPS? Also, is there a way to tell Afterburner exactly when to record and not...

    Did I get a dud? Can't OC on X370 Taichi

    Finally got the motherboard to overclock, sorta. ASRock told me to reset to default and then manually set the clock to 3400 mhz with 1.4v. After doing that I was able to increase the clock speeds further. I still have an existing problem in that I cannot adjust the Vcore Voltage. If I do it...

    Did I get a dud? Can't OC on X370 Taichi

    For some reason overclocking through BIOS causes the multiplier to drop to 15.5 from 34. I just noticed this. I'm actually able to overclock through Ryzen Master. I've looked through the BIOS settings over and over and I can't find anything that should be causing this. Is there a multiplier...

    Did I get a dud? Can't OC on X370 Taichi

    I have my RAM running at 2933 with 14/14/14/34 timings. Benched significant improvements in Passmark. Checked the pricing on 3k RAM with those timings and they're significantly more expensive than what I paid. Assuming the RAM is stable, I'm pretty damn happy with the results, even if I never...

    Did I get a dud? Can't OC on X370 Taichi

    It's in Windows. Tried high power and Ryzen Balanced settings. I haven't messed with blck overclocking. I'll try your suggestion on the RAM. I've only done XMP profile, then 2400 and 2600 with default timings. Woohoo, got it to boot with 2666 18/20/20/20/38. That's terrible but it's a start!

    Benchmarking - FRAPS/Riva not working in Vulkan/Mantle API

    Silly me, was running an old version of Rivatuner. Still trying to figure out how to do actual benchmarks with this though. On FRAPS I push one button and it records FPS and frame times, then Bench Viewer compiles that data into your final FPS numbers. I'll probably figure this out eventually...

    Did I get a dud? Can't OC on X370 Taichi

    I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong or if I got a dud motherboard. I've honestly never had so much trouble getting an overclock, any overclock, to take. If I do any sort of overclock on my Asrock X370 Taichi (latest firmware), the CPU has a locked speed of 1550mhz upon boot. It doesn't...

    Benchmarking - FRAPS/Riva not working in Vulkan/Mantle API

    I'm trying to run a series of benchmarks using FRAPS and Afterburner/Rivatuner. However, I can't get either software to work within these API's. Any solutions or better software?

    Front audio with onboard sound cards.

    That's what I always thought. Gaming 5: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813128992 Pretty misleading marketing scheme then?

    Front audio with onboard sound cards.

    I'm looking at Ryzen motherboards and deciding between a few options. Gigabyte has a dual audio chip feature. From what I understand, this provides the same audio output to the front panel as you'd get from the back panel. Other motherboards that are missing this feature only provide their high...
