    Help with mobo selection for Ryzen 5 1400.

    Here is CinebenchR23 scores for this rig. I have no idea if that is normal or not. This is offset voltages of -0.052v Vcore and -0.030v Vsoc. Ran for 30m after under volting. Max temps 62c multi core and 48c single core.

    Nvidia graphic firmware update tool.

    Update. Got the parts. Built it out on the bench with HDMI. Flashed the 980 with the NV tool. It basically left the Gigabyte BIOS unmolested as I hoped it would. The monitor was also left in a bugged state after all of this. DP still would not work until I power cycled it and blew down the caps...

    Help with mobo selection for Ryzen 5 1400.

    Parts came in on Wednesday. I got up Thursday morning and started building. I just about have it squared away now. The 5600X is an absolute animal. The Corsair Memory works at XMP 3600 with absolutely zero issue so far. Though I did quickly bump the Vmem to 1.35 and left clock at 2133 for the...

    [RTX4090] MSI Suprim X fan grinding

    One of the fans has a bad bearing. You can probably find the replacement fans on Ali-Express for pretty cheap. It's not very hard to change them out. I've had to do this on my 980GTX and several of my friends' video cards. These fans weren't designed to last forever and because of all the...

    Nvidia graphic firmware update tool.

    Long story short, after many years of exceptional service. My sig rig is dead. There is a long boring post on the Mobo section of the forums about it. (RIP Z97. You will be missed.) I have a bunch of new parts coming in on Wednesday. I already tried to upgrade with a Gigabyte B550 UD and a...

    Help with mobo selection for Ryzen 5 1400.

    1. I have a Ryzen 5600x in hand. I think the problem was in the board I sent back and not the CPU. However, since it was trying to boot to the video cards last time. (The monitor would initialize and then go back to sleep.) I believe that the CPU is probably fine. 2. Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite...

    Help with mobo selection for Ryzen 5 1400.

    I swear to goodness, trying to find compatible memory is making me crazy. This is the board I'm looking at. https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b550-aorus-elite-ax-v2/p/N82E16813145248?Item=N82E16813145248 I have gone through the listings of what Newegg has and I have specifically ticked the box...

    Help with mobo selection for Ryzen 5 1400.

    Correct. I installed the new CPU in the new board along with the memory from the bazooka board and my old GTX980. The monitor came out of sleep like it was going to post but just went right back to sleep. I tried a single stick of memory. Same thing. I tried another brand of ddr4, I tried a...

    Help with mobo selection for Ryzen 5 1400.

    Well, I have updates. The Gigabyte board will not post no matter what I try. It turns on, the monitor light turns blue like it is going to come on and then turns right back to amber. I thought it might be the BIOS so I tore the entire system down again and ran the q-flash plus procedure with the...

    Help with mobo selection for Ryzen 5 1400.

    Well, I ordered the Gigabyte B550 UD board, and a Ryzen 5 5600X to go in it. Hopefully this memory will work in it until I can order a 32gb 3200 dominator kit or something. I need to check the compatability list on Gigabyte's website. As it turns out, I flashed the wrong BIOS to this Bazooka...

    Help with mobo selection for Ryzen 5 1400.

    The very first thing I did when I got the machine running was check the BIOS compatibility list on MSI's website refrencing this CPU. It did of course instruct me not to update the BIOS past a certain version. It instructed me to use version 1.l0. So I updated the BIOS to that. I haven't seen...

    Help with mobo selection for Ryzen 5 1400.

    I recently had a bad lightening strike that took out my old intel system. I went hobo mode and grabbed a used CyberPower prebuilt ryzen system from someone who said they never got it to work right. Suprise, it doesn't work right. The Bios battery socket is apparently jacked because I have...

    DOOM performance metrics (my 1st post here)

    It's a long shot, but I think you might be running into a power supply problem. You can see from my sig that I have the same supply and I have recently learned that it is less than stellar. I will be looking to replace it in the near future. I have not had any problems yet but I am running an I5...

    SpaceX Falcon 9 Successful Drone Ship Landing

    I think at this point it's pretty clear that you don't see an advantage because you don't know shit about space flight, how rockets work, payload fractions, etc. It's all about Delta-V. That means change in velocity. See, rocket scientists measure fuel in dV. AKA how much velocity change they...

    SpaceX Falcon 9 Successful Drone Ship Landing

    LOL. Firstly, Blue origin is not going anywhere near as far down range or as fast. The Falcon rocket booster actually has to turn around and go back the other way if it wants to land back at the launch site. It's not some fancy elevator like the blue origin. The barge landing means they can use...

    Kim Dotcom’s Extradition Appeal Set For August

    I'm interested to know what kind of proof they have that this guy did anything illegal anyway. All I have seen is pure hearsay and some snippet of an e-mail that is surely inadmissible as evidence. In this country he will have a jury of citizens deciding his fate also. We all remember "If the...

    Steam constantly reinstalling updates for itself and games

    I have seen this happen before several times. Every time so far, it has indicated a failing hard disk. Is this on an SSD or a spinning disk? I have had reports from friends lately that steam is forgetting that they have games installed. In those cases it was clearly a Steam problem and the HD's...

    MSI Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM Reaches DDR4 4605MHz Clock Speed

    With a clock speed of 800mhz on the processor, there is little point in running the memory at that speed.:rolleyes: I'm supposed to be impressed by that? I think not. Show me a 4+Ghz processor running that memory speed and I'd be a little impressed.

    Moore’s Law Is Showing Its Age

    Carbon nanotubes can only shrink the conductor. That wont help shrink gate size. The last gate size shrink they did wasn't even a shrink. It was just a vertical gate. They are approaching atomic limits. At a certain size, silicon just becomes a conductor and not a semi-conductor. Quantum...

    I don't really know how many times this has to be said, Direct3d does not do triple buffering. Does Not... In some cases there is an option for a flip cue buffer but that is not triple buffering and does not work the same way. OpenGL will do it, and as far as I know, the only triple buffering...

    Grand Theft Auto V

    OK, if I have one critique so far, it is that the in-game anisotropic filtering options might as well not exist. All it did was further blur the textures and nothing looked good unless it was two inches in front of my face. Needless to say, I turned that off and forced it to 16x in Catalyst...

    BlackBerry CEO Calls For App Neutrality

    At what point does your life become so full of yes men and opulence that you totally lose comprehension of reality? I don't know, but this guy crossed that line some time ago. I guess we should all wear the same clothes and drive the same cars and practice the same religion as well.

    Game Dev: 'We Were Arrogantly Deaf To Problems'

    ^^^This! When you simply don't care if your game is good or fun, and only care about extracting the maximum dollar amount, then you are a scam artist, not a game developer. This guy is just trying to butter people up for the next round of pay to win trash he has in-store them.

    Rooftop Solar Panels Are Almost All Facing the Wrong Direction

    I don't disagree that wind farms are mostly BS. The reason has nothing to do with killing birds and bats FFS. Domestic cats and fleas kill more birds and bats than wind farms do. By a lot. The problem is the maintenance cost of the wind farms is to high for them to be sustainable. The large...

    Bose Sues Beats For Patent Infringement

    LAPD: Stolen Tesla Involved in Police Chase Splits In Half

    New Process Creates Clean Water from Cow Pies

    I don't get it. When the water evaporates out of cow dung it doesn't disappear. If you live in a place where the only way you can get the water to allow the cows to drink is from recycling it from the animal's own feces, perhaps you should re-evaluate the notion of a cattle farm. I would also...
