    13900KS Voltage/Clock speed/Power Consumption/Temperature thread.

    Thanks for sharing. Are you accomplishing the all P-cores OC by setting all the Peformance Core Ratios manually to 60? (vs as an example how I have set to 60, 60, 58, 58, 56, 56, 56, 56) ? So far with this KS CPU, it definitely appears to be more efficient (less gate leakage?) as it doesn't get...

    Love it! Appreciate peoples feedback here. Will check out Fan Control and Argus as potential replacement options for Precision X and report back.

    GPU OC/Management Software

    Folks I continue to use EVGA's Precision X software (on Windows 10) with my RTX 4080 FE to (mainly) control fan speeds and lighting on the card. Not sure if it's just me but my Precision X software has been a little more flakey than usual and not sure if EVGA will continue to update this with...

    Any happy 4080 owners here?

    Sucks to hear. I have not had a card fail in a lllooongg time so can't say anything to how nVidia will respond but hopefully it's responsive. Anything you can point to that might've caused the card to 'break'? Were you pushing beyond stock at all?

    Any happy 4080 owners here?

    Sweet build!! Love the understated elegance. I am using the exact combo (4080 FE and Corsair cable). Besides the price point being silly, I really dig the FE cooler design this generation, both functionally and aethestically. When I inevitably upgrade to the next best thing (4090 Ti, whatever)...

    Lian Li all brushed aluminum cases

    Nice! Never knew this existed. Just had the beautiful, fugly beige (or black) floppy drive sticking out the front panel and puked everytime I looked at my PC.

    Lian Li all brushed aluminum cases

    Also remember always having a FLOPPY drive installed but not neccessarily connected...in case some sort of IDE driver needed to be loaded during OS install. Floppy drives.... :facepalm:

    Any happy 4080 owners here?

    I did exactly as you did, sir. Was trolling Best Buy (account logged in) hoping to find a 4090 FE. Negative. But there was a 4080 FE...bought it. Picking it up today from local shop. Congrats on your new rig!! Looks awesome!

    Quadro T600 and Dell S2721DGF monitor screen flashing off/on

    Tried Googling the issue but cannot find anything specific to my setup. I'm running 2 machines connecting to a Dell gaming monitor (S2721DGF), gaming machine (RTX 3080) and a Dell T430 server using a Quadro RTX T600 GPU. With the Dell monitor connected to the Dell and T600 GPU, at random times...

    Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme X570 Ver1.1 and Driver Installation

    Good to know, thank for that! I usually always set my memory to its XMP profile within BIOS and typically (at least in ALL my Intel boards over the years) that has set the mem voltage the appropriate level. Will certainly double check that within the bios and Fluke RMS (if I can on this board)...

    Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme X570 Ver1.1 and Driver Installation

    Awesome. Was hoping it was just that easy, thanks guys! Will definitely do BIOS first and Set Defaults before tweaking the BIOS to my liking and moving towards final OS/driver installs.

    Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme X570 Ver1.1 and Driver Installation

    Hey All, Recently walked into a Micro Center and they had a 5950X and Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme X570 in stock, so picked them up. Also grabbed (4x16GB) 64GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro PC3600 modules, and a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD. Will be reusing my EVGA RTX 2080 Super until I can come across a...

    Newb to Water Cooling Direction

    Well, if anyone cares to know...I've had it with this Maingear case. It's perfect for standard ATX or mini-ATX boards and air cooling. Honestly, if I left everything as I had it BEFORE the Corsair hardlines cooling schananagins begun, it would be perfect. But alas, its just too damn small for my...

    Newb to Water Cooling Direction

    Nasgul, did you notice that once you get the tubing to 'fit' into the different connectors, it's a noticeable 'slip' feeling as the tubing mates to the connector. But after having had to remove/unremove connections several times during the start of the build, I'm seeing very small slices of the...

    Newb to Water Cooling Direction

    Well, got the return line from the CPU to the radiator installed. Heating and bending the PMMA is actually very easy, just need a little patience (and a pair of gloves to not burn your hands). While the line is not as pretty as I'd like, I think it'll get the job done. The most difficult thing...

    Newb to Water Cooling Direction

    Just getting started on the build. Had to breakout the dremel tool to allow my 3-slot RTX 2080 Ti to fit on the side mount, using a Phantex PCIe bridge cable to the mobo. Somehow it's all now going to fit. Bought an extra couple sets of PMMA 14mm tube to have one set to fuck-up, while the second...

    Newb to Water Cooling Direction

    So I decided to go with a full Corsair Hyro X Series hardline cooling system. All parts are in including 14mm hardlines tubing and fittings. Couple of questions for you experienced hardliners. Are people just using a heat gun to make the fancy bends vs using adapters for 45 and 90's? Also, what...

    Is it worth it, 9700 or 9900k

    There are no fanboys, only decent people responding to the OP's question about which Intel (not AMD) chip is best for him. Lets pause for the AMD fanboys that can't mentally comprehend that and help with the question at hand. Give me a break...

    So on your open loop water cooled setups, how often are you having to empty and refill the setups? Yearly event?

    I have a new build using the parts in my sig. Currently using 2x140mm intakes, 2x140mm top of case out flow and 1x120mm outflow on the rear. Case is a maingear Vybe 2019 case. Current CPU cooler is a Notcua NH-U12A with dual 120mm fans. With my i9-9900k OC'ed to 5Ghz gaming temps never reach...

    Is it worth it, 9700 or 9900k

    Why post this?! Yes, people (ppl) are still buying Intel as it's still a solid product. AMD is making terrific strides as well, but not everyone wants to make the change. OP: In hindsite I should've just ordered the 9700K and saved the coin. My 2 bits..

    The 1080 ti shortage is hurting current owners as well....

    I've been totally living under a rock of life and working to much so I ask forgiveness ahead of time. Started playing FC5 the other day on my GTX1080 and thought, "would be nice to have a little more horsepower to really crank up the resolution scaling...maybe a 1080Ti would be a fun purchase?!"...

    New super fast Asus router, RT 66U "Black Knight" coming out

    +1 for that. I love my 1921 paired up with a 2960 for switching. Trick is knowing someone who works for/or owns a Cisco Gold certified partner/re-seller. I paid $585 for my 1921. ;-) But I REALLY like the performance of RT-N66U as an AP!! It seems I'm getting an average of 360Mbps under...
