I had a similar problem with the WC bios and reverted to the air one since I didn't want to deal with figuring out a fix. I still need to find out if I can improve the ~35C component to fluid delta on my CPU (loaded with F@H for 12 threads). Remounting the block last night seems to have helped...
Looks like now whenever I try to change anything from default settings, my system crashes when loading windows (including just power limit +50%). Might roll back the 17.8.x since it seems 17.9.1. is hot garbage.
Considering that the GTX 1080 scores that I've seen on the EVGA forums on the same settings are also around 10-11k, I'm not sure where the issue is with regards to expectations.
As before, V56 flashed with V64 BIOS, but on water with HBM to 1025. Will probably do more tweaking later, but getting the loop assembled/tested took most of the evening so I'll deal with it later. Might flash the V64 liquid bios instead, but it's probably not worth the effort.
Pretty easy with unknown risk due to n=1, though suspect low risk as you can only flash one of the two bios. One thing that you will want to note from the buildzoid video that razor1 linked is that the liquid bios has a hard shutdown at 75C, so don't use it if you're on the stock cooler. Oh...
I'm not going to bother doing much tweaking on voltage/overclock for right now since I should be putting it on water this weekend. Vega 56 flashed to 64 bios, conservative undervolt (-25 mv on the upper power states). Similar deal on the cpu since I'm using the stock cooler until I put it on...
If you're talking about the powercolor pack listing it's still there. Though now that I check, Powercolor appears to only have a one year warranty on AMD reference cards so I'm avoiding them. If you mean the XFX one which showed up as in stock for me, but spit an error when trying to add to...
Looks like it. I'm not sure how much of that was just to match up with the IO which maintains a DVI input.
e: Side view has it looking like it's closer to single slot in terms of the block. IO still takes 2 slots though.
Don't forget that EKWB also has the all aluminum fluid gaming kits as another affordable option at $159 for the 240mm radiator or $239 for the one that also includes a Pascal block. Unsure when the aluminum vega block will be added, but it has been stated as a planned release.
All of the standalone 56s at MSRP sold out within a minute of listing if not earlier. The first standalone 56 on newegg might have been out before it even showed up on search, although its difficult to know for sure. I grabbed one of the game packs off BB since I don't have either game, but...
Last I checked, the acetic acid produced in alcohol metabolism isn't as big of a deal as the acetaldehyde that comes before it in the metabolic pathway. Especially since acetate is an acetyl-CoA precursor.
I know my reason for looking at X370 is that there are boards available with two NVMe M.2 slots while the second slot on similar B350 boards is SATA only. If that changes before I get around to buying components I'd probably go for B350.
It depends on whether we interpret the discussion of the "core/cache topology" to refer to that issue. Also fb, was actually just about to post that community update
Hopefully going to be able to wait for my tax refund comes in before building (let's be honest, mobos aren't going to be in stock before then anyways); however my current machine started having some boot issues and I cba to put much effort in to fix a 7 year old platform (i.e. if it's a hw...
I'm waiting to see what direction I want to go since I'm looking to rebuild off of Gulftown. Then again there's a nonzero chance of me just taking my brother's Haswell machine off his hands if he upgrades to Ryzen or Skylake-X.
There were comparisons of 4.3.1, 4.5.0, and 5.0.0 on the respective platforms from what I gathered from the journal article. The biggest differences were of course on cross version comparisons. Differences between platforms on equivalent software versions were present on the two older versions...
