    Question about possible defective 5950x

    what is your RAM speed? I can run DOCP with my PC4000 ram, but I do have issues when running that high due to the IMC not being able to handle that speed. I'm rock solid at 3800mhz CL16 though.

    5900x microstuttering, stuttering, slowing down windows

    I have a 5950x with random stutters. I had a Logitech MX Master 1 mouse plugged into a front USB port on my case. During a moment needed to recharge my mouse, I plugged in a normal USB mouse into the rear USB ports and have not experienced the issue since. I concur that it could very well be...

    AIO and 5950x temps

    My 5950x on an Arctic Cooling 280mm idles around 28c with an ITX mobo/case. To me, 47c is too high...

    is there any benefit to have the m.2 heatsink more than 2X the size of the thermal pad?

    I have a 500gb Western Digital SN850 that typically runs pretty hot (around 50-60c). I noticed once I swapped it in that I would get random instances where it would not detect the SSD after a reboot, which is an issue several people are experiencing. I ended up installing this...

    Amazon has the 5950x at MSRP

    Be weary on how Amazon ships it... I received mine like this. After alot of complaining, I was able to get $80+ off for the damage. Thankfully no damage to the actual CPU.

    Need advice on upgrading an ancient Intel 2600k system to something Ryzen powered, no OC needed.

    This deal looks decent: https://www.amazon.com/Matisse-Processor-Unlocked-B450-PLUS-Motherboard/dp/B091F51JGJ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=amd+motherboard+cpu+combo&qid=1622750209&sr=8-1 Looks like it comes with a cooler. Your existing Power Supply should be adequate to power this along with...

    X570 Crosshair VIII Dark Hero

    You can imagine how happy I was to see a bubble envelope used for my 5950x. Needless to say, I kept the CPU, but complained alot to the CSR's for an $85 refund. They also rejected my feedback after telling buyers to be weary since Amazon likes to send CPU's in bubble envelopes.

    Is this a Decent 5950X?

    Here's a shot from my initial run with my 5950x on an Asus x570-i, Gskill 16gb 3200mhz cl14, Arctic Cooling 280mm AIO. I believe this was with PBO enabled.

    5700XT driver situation August 2020

    I had the black screen flashing (especially while in the BIOS). Fixed it by changing from a Display Port cable to HDMI. Not a problem since. To note: I'm not a huge gamer at all, but just like having the nice hardware.

    Question for the veterans of PC gaming: why was the Radeon 9700 Pro such a big deal?

    Loved my Powercolor 9800se that was able to be modded to a Pro! Ohhhh the days!. Had a mobile AMD Barton 2500xp overclocked running this on an Asus A7N8X board. <3'd that setup!

    AMD 3950+ Issue

    With my 3800x, I've had best results with PBO set to OFF. I also set the vcore to 1.35 max. (Asus X570-i motherboard).

    3800x temps w/CPB

    Take your vcore off auto and set it manually to 1.3-1.35vcore and see if that helps. This 'should' limit your voltage to promote lower temps. 😀

    Best Eight-Core CPU Battle: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X vs Intel Core i7-9700K

    <3 my 3800x. Can hit all core 4.5ghz with 1.35 vcore, but opted to leave it on 1.35 vcore and let the motherboard/processor run at whatever speed it wants. Disabled PBO, which keeps it from ramping up to 1.5vcore. This is on an Asus X570i, and a Sapphire 5700XT. I couldn't be happier :D

    Fortnite crashing

    85c is hot to me. I have a 3800x and turned off PBO in the BIOS. I can boost to 4.6ghz single core and max temps are high 60's to low 70's. Although I'm watercooled, but am running a tiny ITX case with an Asus X570-i and an X5700XT, all off a single 120mm fan. If I were you, I'd reapply...
