    Worth upgrading from a 3080ti to 5080?

    Take it back. Take it back now. 5080 supply is stabilizing as it catches up to demand. Microcenters across the country have been keeping PNY 5080s in stock all week for $1,200. More expensive cards are gathering dust at retailers. The broad market seems to be interested in paying between $1,000...

    Worth upgrading from a 3080ti to 5080?

    I would say "yes" but only for $1,000. Maybe $1,100 for a good AIB model, which seem to have more OC headroom over the FE. I hit the jackpot last week when my local MC had PNY 5080 OC models selling for $999. I don't know how that happened, because the same card was $1,200 4 days later when more...

    5900x, running hot

    So I checked out of this thread, but I figured I'd come back to mention that about a month ago I traded out the 100i for a 150i, and it made a noticeable difference. I had games that would run in the high 70s to mid 80s, but after switching to the 150i the same titles stayed in the 70s. That...

    Preference for updating BIOS

    I buy Asus boards, and up until now I've only updated the BIOS using the EZ Upgrade method through their Windows software. Last November I picked up a Crosshair VIII Hero (wifi) to go with my 5900x, and was introduced to the EZ Flash method out of necessity. It's worked so far, but I've also...

    5900x, running hot

    Did some more temp analysis. R6 ranged from 65C to 75C over 3 hours. Just for fun I tracked it during Halo 2, and it came back in the 50s over an extended play time. Path of Exile Stayed between 55C and 60C most of the time.

    5900x, running hot

    Could be, but my original budget for this rig was $1,000 less than what it became. I sold off my 1080ti for a net return of $400, so that helped cover some of that extra cost, but I can't justify additional expenses unless there is a clear reason to do so for stability or preventing damage to...

    5900x, running hot

    repoman0 - Thanks for the suggestion. HWInfo has been a tremendous help. I've been analyzing output from 2-3 hour gaming sessions to see things. Island - I think we've come to the same conclusion. I got rid of the undervolt and started testing with HWInfo. I found that in Borderlands 3 I had a...

    5900x, running hot

    To get something more concrete than just perception in game, I ran some test with Timespy Extreme. With the -0.125 undervolt, my scores for CPU, GPU, and overall were 7383, 8983, and 8700 respectively. Without it, they were 7725, 8976, and 8763. So the undervolt certainly had an impact on CPU...

    5900x, running hot

    I haven't seen a reduction in clock speed as a result of the undervolt. I was getting boosts to 4.9 Ghz across the same number of cores before and after.

    5900x, running hot

    I ended up landing on an undervolt with an offset of -0.125. No stability issues and the temps stay in the 65-75 range; with spikes staying below 80 so far. Why does AMD set their voltages so high by default?

    5900x, running hot

    Perhaps, but I don't think I'm going to get much lower temps without spending an obscene amount of money. If lowering the voltages by 0.1V gets me down into the 70s under load, plant the flag of victory.

    I misspoke on this. My room temp is 22C-25C. Sorry for the confusion there.

    5900x, running hot

    Per the suggestion of owcraftsman I set the vcore offset to -0.1. I then played the Black OPs level that I know produced the higher temps which started this thread. This resulted in a max voltage of 1.394V on half the cores, and 1.387V on the others. The CPU temp maxed out at 81C, and even with...

    5900x, running hot

    These are goodsuggestions. It sounds like the temps are fine based on other posts (from an operational standpoint). The ML RGB fans unfortunately only go to 1600 rpm, so not a big improvement. The reorienting of the radiator to the front could likely be done without too much effort, and I may...

    5900x, running hot

    After posting all that info, I did some further checking, and I'm becoming more and more convinced that everything I know is wrong. The high end Ryzens just want to run at 90C and will boost until they hit it. Lowering the temperature is just going to allow it to boost more, but it's still going...
