Don’t know if this has been posted, but I just came across this master list for AM5 board comparison if anyone hasn’t seen it. Covers X670, X670E, B650, and B650E. AM5 Master list - Google Sheet

Upgraded my sons PC from a 5600 stock to a 5800x3D, but I wasn’t sure if I’d see the improvements talked about since there’s only a handful of games he plays one of them being FIFA 23. He runs a 1440p 144hz panel with a RTX 4070, and in FIFA 23 with everything cranked to Ultra it was spitting...

I've been thinking about moving my main gaming PC into a storage room that's close by, and by close I mean 5 ft away. I don't want to be running 5-7ft ft of different cables for the mouse, keyboard, monitor. headphones etc, and so a 1 cable solution sounds nice--I just don't know where to start...

Last week I upgraded my sons PC to a 7600X, on a Gigabyte B650M-DS3H, and G.Skill 6000 C30. I also dropped in a 1tb nvme since his games were killing the 500gb he had in there. I did the fresh install of W11, AMD chipset drivers, latest NV drivers for the GPU, and all updates. I couldn’t get...

I picked up a pair of TP Link power line adapters to solve the wifi issue my condo has with 8" thick concrete support walls. I have a mesh network as well which works great, but for main PC I wanted hardwire, so I gave the powerline a try. It's been flawless with me getting between 800Mbs-600Mbs...

I picked up a Lian Li X1 GPU Riser for my card, however I could not get the card seated. The GPU and riser are about 1-2mm off and I really tried to get the GPU seated without using G forces that would break the GPU. After I surrendered, I looked at the GPU riser closely and noticed that I had...

Before 2077 launched I was pretty excited for it, but I didn't buy it immediately and the more it was reported to be a hot mess I stayed away. Fast forward to now, I'm tempted to pick up a cheap GOG key and play it, but are most of the kinks ironed out? Is the game still a buggy mess, or can...

I have a computer that was running ok - or seemed ok - until I installed a 6700 XT reference, and since then for the last week it's been constantly locking up. Before you say wrong thread, I think the memory is the culprit due to testing but I'm wondering what could be the issue. So to explain...

Anyone know if LPDDR4X is available anywhere to purchase, or if most laptops using it will just have it soldered? I've tried Newegg and a few other sights but can't find it, at least not 3733/4266 speeds. Was looking at getting one of the newer LG Grams, and in all the 2020 Grams there was 1...

I have a bit of a head scratcher and hopefully someone can explain what may be happening. A few years ago I setup a router for my parents running DDWRT and with SSH. Their router has SSH set to accept connections on 443, and the primary reason is that I found it was the only port I could SSH...

Selling a almost new Viewsonic XG270QG 165Hz Hardware G-Sync monitor, Nano IPS. This has the Gsync hardware module revision 2.0 meaning it'll also work with AMD cards. Purchased new from Amazon in summer 2020. NO issues, will ship in original box with all accessories. I will provide the receipt...

I'm having this weird issue with a Lian Li Lancool Mesh II case with the front USB ports. There are only 2 ports on the top, and they are both USB 3, one is occupied by a Logitech universal receiver which I use for a trackball mouse. The problem occurs anytime I plug a USB stick in there to copy...

I've been using the Nvenc encoder for a while now and it's been pretty decent, but with the launch of the new Navi 2 cards, I'm interested in switching over but wanted to test the AMD encoder out first. With my Nvidia card, I've been using the following settings to record gameplay; Nvenc h.264...

20 years on the [H] - Well guys it's been awesome, hopefully the [H] forums stick around for decades more! Signed up back in college and never thought I'd be posting this 20yrs later. I've been to one [H] meetup in Toronto back in 2001 at the Skydome Hard Rock Café where we racked up an...

Do we have any idea when, or approx when AMD will lift the embargo on reviews for Zen 3? It is expected to be closer to the physical launch on Oct 20th, or shortly after / on the 8th?

Watching JayzTwoCents recent video where he mentions that MSI has or is coming out with a version 2 of it's 3080 Trio card, but MSI did this silently. Did they change the CAPS from POS to all MLCC's and if so where does this leave user's who literally just paid $900 for one? That would be a...

I just installed a 10600k on a MSI Gaming Edge WiFi with a fresh install of W10. I slapped a Dark Rock Pro 4 on it and according to HWiNFO64 temps idle on the desktop are 35-36c. I have the chip running at all-core 5GHz, AVX offset 0, 1.4v Vcore, 1.2v VCCSA, 1.2v VCCIO, ring at Auto, C-States...

So I noticed that the position of the PCH fan on my ASUS Hero is directly under the GPU. I’m using a 2080ti and it’s sitting directly over top of the fan, covering near 90% or more and the GPU is sitting flush. If that fan can breathe at all, it’s pulling in hot air which can’t be good. Also the...

I'm using a Corsair HX1000i PSU, and while it does have the zero RPM fan feature, I don't think it ever turns on. During a normal CS:GO game, I can't even leave my hand on the PSU it's getting that hot, and yet the fan reports 0rpm still. If I can't even leave my hand on the PSU shroud, the...

I've been trying to acquire a 10600K CPU for a while now, but as many have also found it's proving difficult to acquire one for MSRP, and not some jacked up price from a third party reseller, that being if anyone has any stock to begin with. This afternoon I just randomly refreshed a Newegg...

While I’m using the system yesterday for a few hours I kept looking at the tank, and notice it’s getting slightly lower. But whatever... I chalked it up to bubbles making there way through the system, which I've read happens so ok. Fast forward a few more hours, it's midnight, I check on the...

I ordered some PETG to practice bending before I attempt a PETG build next week. This is my first attempt at bends or hardline all together and so I ordered 8/12 and 10/12 just to practice on, but so far I’ve found 8/12 thickwall the easiest to bend, although it just takes longer to heat up...

My sons Ryzen 3600 system was running at 85c under load and heavy gaming, this with a Hyper 212 and 2 fans exhausting at full speed. Granted his room is the hottest in our place with direct sunlight in 34c weather but still, I’ve been meaning to slap a block on his Ryzen rig. This is my 3rd WC...

Finally hit clearance level 100 on R6 Siege which isn't a big deal probably, except I did it only playing PvE. 207hrs to be exact, with 95% of those hours only playing the house Map on Terrorist Hunt Realistic. On average I would say 12min per match, give or take, so that works out to approx...

Just upgraded to 1Gb/s fiber from 18Mb/s cable... :D This is through Bell Canada. They have been digging up the streets and putting Fiber through-out the Toronto area, and just within the last year brought the fiber from the street into everyone’s condo unit in my building. When a 14MB file...

I recently installed the OBS recording software and tested recording of Doom Eternal, first on a 9900K paired with a 2080ti. Playback of the recording was perfect. Then I recorded the same game, playing on a R5 3600 paired with a 5600 XT. Playback of the recording was fine, *until I got into the...

9900k @ 5GHz with AVX 0 offset, default Vcore on an EVGA Dark MB, custom loop. Windows 10 Firefox etc it hovers around 30c, Red Dead 2 about 37-40c, but Cinebench it shot up to 98c. Normal temps? Pump is maybe running at 75% during CB r20.

Hey guys, getting my first loop together, i thought I had ordered the right fittings and tube but the tubing is super tight to get onto the conpression fitting. I ordered EK Torque STC 10/16 (5/8) fittings, and for my soft tube, I bought 10/16 3/8 ID 5/8 OD soft tubbing. But it just seems really...

Looking to order a sit/stand desk within the next few days, not sure which brand to go with. I'm looking to use it as both a gaming desk, and a work bench as it'll have my Praxis Wetbench case on it as well a laptop and 27" monitor. Ultimately I'm looking for something that is very stable, the...

My condo walls really kill wifi with the plaster walls and metal honeycomb mesh that’s inside. I’m looking to extend my coverage and purchase some of the mesh network wifi gear but I’m curious to know how many I actually need. My first question would be if these mesh nodes can act as both a...

My 3700x is having some really really wacky boosting issues, this after trying to first undervolt, but then setting it back to auto after I got horrible results, ...yes I know... shocking, but now it won't stabilize. First things, I've read the many reports about Ryzen 3000 having high v-core...

Any reccomendations for a monitor like the PG65UQ but in the 40-50" range. I sit about 2-3 ft away from my monitor now (PG279Q), and on my wall I use a 40" TV which I sit about 7ft away from, so anything massive doesn't make sense. Passing my 279Q onto my father so I'm looking for a good...

Excuse my shitty autocad (errr I mean paint) edit's. I'm going to attempt my first water loop after years of using AIO's, and having spent months watching beginner and how to video's from Jayz, & By IFR Desgins. Does this look like a decent setup? I'm going to order the EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE...

Are there any wireless router's that currently have protection against deauth attacks. All of the devices in our place keep getting kicked off at random times, but only in the evenings / night. I live in a condo building so it wouldn't surprise me if maybe someone was having fun, but it's...

I've picked up a 9600k to play around with, on a Gigabyte Z390 Master, and cooling with a Dark Rock 4. (non Pro) I'm currently using the Primochill wet test bench as the case, so no addition cooling, other than the DR4's single fan. Putting the multiplier to 50 without any other changes...

QA was asleep the day my card was manufactured... Did a repaste while I had it off... man did they go cheap on the thermal paste, repasted with AS5.

Just built a new system in the corsair 275Q quiet case, but noticed after assembling this may not work as well as I thought... it's getting way to hot for comfort, looking for any suggestions. The case, see picture, is designed to be ultra quiet, both side panels have the sound dampening...
