    GPU Stable @ Full Load, Freezes often @ Idle

    The cpu is at stock speeds on the system with the issue. It only exhibited the issue with the RX590 installed. The igpu and a different AMD card didn't show the same issues when I was trying to isolated the cause.

    GPU Stable @ Full Load, Freezes often @ Idle

    I checked what you suggested, and while the voltages appear normal, raising the voltages of the first three P states seems to have helped. It's been a couple hours now and no freezes. Thank you very much for the assist.

    GPU Stable @ Full Load, Freezes often @ Idle

    I recently bought a RX590GME for one of my systems. Under full load it is rock solid under everything I throw at it. My issue is I get freezes at the desktop, while browsing. and when first trying to load games (basically when the card would be at or transitioning to/from a low power state. If...

    Ancient GPU needs replaced. Suggestions?

    I personally have not believed the story about how "miners are buying up all the cards". I think it's pure retail market manipulation in effect by the retailers. I say this based on the fact my brother works at a major retailer in distribution. They have stock of multiple high end cards, but...

    Ancient GPU needs replaced. Suggestions?

    I came to that same realization myself while looking around. ~$200 use to get a decent mid range card of some sort. I don't think the industry realizes something very important. With prices being so high, they're eliminating a lot of their older enthusiasts from the buying market. When the value...

    Ancient GPU needs replaced. Suggestions?

    So due to life, I haven't upgraded my rig in quite a while. This year I'm redoing the whole thing, starting with the GPU. At the moment I've got a 7870xt (cut down 7950) with only 2 GB of Vram. Normally I replace things as they break, but this freaking card just won't die. It's gotten to the...

    What happened to Steam's First Early Access Games?

    KSP was the best gamble I spent money on back in early access. I've gotten ages of playtime and dicking around out of it.

    Unlock and Start Your Car with Your Phone

    Given the lack of scrutiny car software undergoes, and how novel a lot of hacks end up being, can't we just make it a 12 inch long suppository to help us prepare for our cars being stolen?

    Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 sudden problems with cold booting

    I've had this board running without issue for years now. This past week, it suddenly stopped cold booting normally. To get it to boot from a "cold" state ("powered off for a while), I have to now remove the CMOS battery for several minutes and then bridge the clear cmos jumper. It will then boot...

    Chili's Credit Card Data Breach

    They're trying their damnest to be the new Applebee's, low class clientel, no party sizelimits, no gratuities on big parties so youll have a server who probably got stiffed on a 200+ $ party at any point in the day, and way too much more to even go into. There's something wrong at the corporate...

    TrueAudio Next Version 1.2 Now Available on Github

    My understanding is it gets included into a game via plug ins or third party sound layers during development. Steam has it built into some of it's dev tool for use by game makers as well. Also just realized the dedicated asic has been replaced by doing the effects using GPU compute now.

    Kryonaut grizzly paste 10c + higher whats wrong?? bait and switch ?

    You used too much even if it's legit TG. On my 6600k, I got the best results with barely more than enough to cover the heat spreader in a "haze" of TIM. I could still read the info on the cpu through it.

    TrueAudio Next Version 1.2 Now Available on Github

    You have to do nothing. The article was aimed mainly at developers. They can make use of Trueaudio via plugins and libraries. Some games may have it as an option in the sound section if it's available but I'm unsure which ones.

    TrueAudio Next Version 1.2 Now Available on Github

    if you have an AMD GPU from the 4000 series or higher, you have a dedicated ASIC already on board that handles certain audio processing when used by a game or software that supports it. The PS4 has hardware support for it, and Star Citizen is listed as supporting it for example. It exists to...

    Spectre Next Generation

    An educated guess would be yes, but in a limited capacity. You'd see something like this really only being useful in a spying scenario, where you'd have the time to sit back and try to make sense of the data that you caused to slowly leak. These aren't the kind of exploits you can use like a...

    Not as much as you'd expect. The third party companies who get contracted to handle this stuff will just find new reasons to deny valid replacement/repairs.

    Mazda Rotary Engine Returning in 2019 as EV Range Extender

    If I had ti go Otto cycle in a RX, it would have to be the Audi 5.2 liter V10. 525 hp 391 lb⋅ft torque. It was able to take a 3500 lb R8 Quattro from 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds. Last year of the RX8 came in at 2800. So that's gonna be a little quicker. And it runs so smoothly, you can rev the shit...

    Mazda Rotary Engine Returning in 2019 as EV Range Extender

    Ahhh Mazda, zooooom zooom snore....... You're doing it wrong. Give us a new RX with a hybrid set up. Edrive for low end grunt and MPG/Emissions, 1.3 Rotary for high end fun. You could cut out so much of the need for running the rotary below its optimal envelope where it's least efficient. You...

    Battlefield V Follows Call of Duty Back to World War II This Year

    I'll pass. To hell with item modding, character progression, micro transactions. Give me a B17 full of bombs, a full load of gunners, and a map way too small for planes period. Sweet, sweet tears from the idiots who kept insisting of taking the single bridge choke point by the windmill on that...

    The White House Plans to Privatize the International Space Station

    $5 says this ends with Boeing or ULA associates as the private entity that gets the spot, depriving SpaceX of a primary launch customer since Boeing and ULA have their own launch systems. Guess they feel the need to correct the "evil" of the court decision forcing the DoD to give the same access...

    Why Hasn’t the Year of the Linux Desktop Happened Yet?

    Egos and free software as a religion will forever keep Linux as we know it from mass desktop adoption. There are too many duplicated efforts wasting resources trying to mold their distro in their own image. And then you have the pleasure of having unwanted forced adoption of things such as...

    The Top 5 Worst Motherboards of All Time

    Socket 939 DFI boards were guilty of giving many enthusiasts the overclocking equivalent of blue balls. When they felt like giving up the goods, you'd get beautiful results, record clocks, gratification. For the other 7/10 times your settings made it angry, you'd get rewarded with the urge to...

    The Top 5 Worst Motherboards of All Time

    I really wish I could remember the exact model, but I once had a MSI board with an ATI chipset that was either possessed or got dropped several times before packaging. Within a week of having it, I thought I killed it trying to overclock. Three days later it fires right up on it's own as I'm on...

    Anyone familiar with Blue Iris? Need some input.

    Sorry in advance if this is the wrong forum, but it seemed to be the most relevant since it's a more general question. A friend of mine owns a business, and uses Blue Iris to record video from multiple cameras on the property. Currently he has eight 4 MP cameras running on a system powered by...

    Meh.10 MG of Diazepam, very good lighting, and quality magnification can have her back in fighting shape in a couple hours.

    The market is currently saturated with a bunch of meh clones. Some of the expandable AIOs look like they'll be around for a bit. SPACE. You can cram an AIO into a very tiny case and have very nice cooling, especially if you're fine with mounting it's rad externally. The same cooling...

    Is 7nm the Last Major Node?

    A LOL what if... X299 and 7740k

    I expect we'll eventually see them put forth something similar to the BIG/Little configuration we see used for ARM, dedicated HiPo cores for heavy workloads with lower powered efficient cores for the bulk of our uses.

    48V Point of Load regulators, the time is now.

    On the same 1000 watt ballast, switching the input voltage from 115 to 220 resulted in around a 15% reduction in Kwh for that greenhouse as shown on the electric bill. The difference may not be the same if using a solid state ballast though. The wiring didn't seem to be an issue as the site was...
