    5700X "Quick n Easy" OC Assistance

    Greetings [H] brethren, Well, I upgraded to a 5700X a couple weeks ago and it's been running GREAT. - Only caveat is, when I turn on PBO the temps jump to 80c at load (and I swear I hear a occasional tiny squeal kinda like coil-whine emanating from the area....) I'm assuming due to it feeding...

    Vaporum - Steampunk grid-based RPG ala Legend of Grimrock
