Hi, yes I'm trying those today, I wish it would just run stock settings though. I have older ddr4 I can try. Also, I have another mobo, psu and CPU I could try. Not sure the smartest order to swap components. I'm also not thinking that the m2 drive has anything to do with it.

Hi, so continuing this post: I rma'd the ram kit and installed new replacement. This build continues to be unstable. Researching forums this appears to be related to 'low idle freeze'. Actually it will sit over night running, and in the morning as soon as you grab the mouse and say open a...

Thanks for the info, I am using the correct slots. Last night though, I ran memtest and let it run, with bios set to auto (no docp) and memtest generated 1256 errors. Unless this board (ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero) is somehow undervolting the memory it sounds like a bad kit.

Hi, I just built a new system. X570 mono with 5800x. I bought a 3600 g.skill kit 2x32. I enabled docp, but immediately got random freezes. I temporarily turned off docp. The system seems more stable, but then I thought I’d run memtest and generated 9 errors by test 6. A second memtest ran...

Thanks for the advice, I'm tempted to wait too, but it appears the age of the 2600k and it's chipset are causing trouble with the intel wireless transmitter. I have the 3900x on this computer with a X570 chipset and 128gb of ram! Great system - 24 threads means I can multitask cpu intensive...

Hi, I hoping to upgrade my wireless HTC vive computer. It's on it's last legs with a 2600k oc to 4.8 and a 1080 gpu. For now, I just want to upgrade the mobo, cpu and ram on a bit of a budget. Main issue is the X570 mobo's are expensive. So I've turned to older B450 mobo's for the lower...

True, it was stable though at 1.35, instability in p95 showed at 1.325 so pretty narrow margin I agree.

Ok, I reset to stock and then just changed PBO from auto to enabled. Core voltage on auto runs around 1.43v which seems crazy, but that drops to 1.32 under load. With PBO enabled during cb20 load I'm seeing 4.05 exactly as you guys predicted. So next up I'll test the per core oc as per the...

Hmm, ok I'll check, still learning my way around amd bios. I tested p95 small fft at 4.3ghz manual and 1.325v and get instant errors. So I'm resetting to stock and keep testing. Thanks for all the info.

If I'm loading the chip all cores, it's running at stock 3.8, so manual of 4.3 makes a big difference: eg. 7500 cinebenchr20 up from 6950

I have the thermaltake 360 in a Fractal R6 case. I'll try the voltage a little lower, thanks for the link - I'll try it and see how it goes!

Unfortunately I do both, solidworks and FEA are strongly single threaded and rendering / point cloud software is incredibly multi-threaded (like 100% utilization for 8 hours importing data on my previous 8700k). I knew about PB and PBO but not PB2? More research required.

I would see 4.6 on single core just watching the load on Core Temp though so can't speak about the accuracy of that. I'm currently running 1.35v for the 4.3 manual with LLC at 3, so I see a droop to 1.34 under load. Just now though I'm reading that 1.35 may be a little too high? Aida64...

Hi, I have my 3900x running at 4.3 all cores. So that's fine, improves the cinebench r20 score (7500), but by manually forcing all cores to 4.3 it means they are allways there, and I'm missing out on the boost to 4.6 on single threaded apps. I'm new to the amd bios environment so I'll keep...

Hi, I would like 4 32gb modules at 3200. Corsair doesn't sell a 4x32 kit at that speed ( I think 2600 they top out at). But they do sell these 2x32gb modules. https://www.newegg.ca/corsair-64gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820236586 Do you think 4 of these would work ok? Mobo is...

HI, I'm looking for a few Z370 motherboards for 8700k processors. With 64gb of ram. These are workstations, which I've built for years, and for a long time I'd used the sabertooth boards. But now they have gone away and the Asus model list is so extensive I have no idea what to pick or how...

So, with this system, I've now swapped the mobo, the case and the psu and it still wont reliably power on. So, must be the ram or cpu or video card??? Loosing my marbles on this system. I've never seen anything like it. Motherboards lights up, but wont turn on, doesn't even try. But then...

Hi, I have a 2yr old system with a asus z170 sabertooth mark 1 motherboard. It reached a state where it wouldn't power-on. Seemed like it was a bad case power switch at the time (about a month ago). So I switched the guts into a new case (330r blackout edition /corsair carbide) Now, it's...

Hi, I just grabbed one of these boards and it's 12" x 9.2" instead of 9.6" and is missing 2 holes at the right edge corners, and the middle hole on the right edge has no standoff in my case! What gives? I have to use it in this case for now, it's entire right side is unsupported. Not sure...

Where I live they aren't available in the store

It wont come until first week of June, I'll let you know - I ordered a pressure sensitive pen as well.

Cool, that's what I was looking for - bought one last night, basically identical to the xps15 spec wise (although the xps has 4gb vram) but it adds the 360 hinge. Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for a laptop with pretty flexible minimum specs. But certain combinations don't seem to be available. Note, a high end surface book (the new one) would probably be great - but screen size is too small. 15.6 or 17" screen, Convertible touchscreen Pressure pen included or...

My best result was on the travan-8 tapes, backup exec can read tape 2 , 3 and 4 but always ask to insert tape1, which it then says is unreadable :(

I know right? Sad part is I'm pretty sure this happened to me before years ago and I forgot about the battery again :(

Ok, lol I solved this - classicly the mobo had been on 24/7 for so long the onboard battery had died, that defaulted to IDE, so resetting it to ACHI of course fixed it, and resetting the windows clock fixed the dashboard issue.

Hi, I have a whs2011, I moved it from one location to another and somehow it would no longer boot, instead it would bsod which in safemode would happen at the classpnp.sys line. Out of frustration or desperation and googling I found some reference to ACHI or SATA = compatablie. No reason to...

Hi MixmanSC, thanks for the info, I've gone back to a new XP install and then under xp tried the following: zDat dump, uraninium backup, tape administrator and iperius backup, and the builtin NT backup. In most cases the software can see the tape but never finds anything, I'd love to try...

I've used lastpass for years with 2fa and yubikey, also can only login from canada, also auto logs out any devices when I login anywhere, also timesout. So thumbs up!

Hi, thanks so much for the info! I've tried to find an old backup exec but no luck, the new veritas trialware wont install on a desktop, only on a server. So I'm not able to try it. Tapeware I did try because it came with the ADR2 drive. Everyway I've tried so far provides no clue that it...

Hi, I have some old tapes that are supposed to have data on them from 2002, but no one remembers what was used to create them. There are 2 kinds of tapes. TRAVAN-8 and ADR2 cartridges. I built up an old system, bought the 2 tape drives and installed an older os (vista) that has ntbackup...

Thanks, thats what I was hoping! wasn't sure as I'm new to the z270. I went with this: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232208&ignorebbr=1&_ga=1.120400842.358891608.1484170733

Hi, Can I use gkill ripjaw v series 4x16gb ddr4 in this motherboard? That ram says z170, but can I assume z170 kits will work on z270 boards? The qvl list doesn't really help as it's all over the map showing kits that out number the ram slots on the mobo! Thanks!

Thanks and I did read the link previously so I understood the sequence, I guess the way I phrased the question didn't make a ton o' sense. I get it though that testing cpu v on manual until you find the lowest stable voltage you are comfortable with and then upticking it a bit and switching to...

Ok, thanks for the info, I'll test it now. What version p95 are you running at what mode? Handbrake I have no experience with but I'll look into it. And when you say ' hit a vcoore of under 1.3' I thought that adaptive would hardcode my vcore at load to whatever I set. So are you saying...

Update, currently testing x264, with the test batch file, cpu holding at 62c. Cpu mulitplier = 44 Using XMP for the ram, g.skill 64gb @2.8 cpu volt: adaptive 1.33 offset .0001 LLC = auto Cpu power phase control = optimized VRM spread spectrum = disabled Everything else is stock. So, I...

I agree, but last year when I was asking about skylake it was mentioned that pime can hit new chips/chipsets too hard. Realbench or x264 was brought up as suitable replacements. But I'm all ears if opinions have changed?

Thanks for the link. I hear you - I'm currently testing adaptive set at 1.33 with a .0001 offset added. Runs realbench fine, but temps are notably hotter than when just using auto. I suppose maybe 1.33 is higher than needed considering I'm only at 44 multiplier? edit: by higher temps I mean...

Hi, I'm doing some more overclocking on this mobo/cpu combo. I'm really a little confused on the cpu voltage settings. I can do a low overclock of 4.4 and just leave the cpu voltage on auto. But if I set it to say adaptive mode, + offset, and set voltage to 1.32 etc. then I'll get a...

Hi, I am building several identical computers, exactly the same hardware in everyone - so the only difference is the serial numbers. I also have new win7 pro product id's for each one. I don't believe it's worth my time to go through automated installation kit and windows pe etc. when I can...
