Yes it is. They all should, as you are telling the motherboard to ignore the PWM features (it will still read speeds), And instead supply a fixed voltage. Provided you tell the motherboard to supply enough voltage at the start to get the pump moving (usually 7-8v) then it should be fine, at...

? Who said they did? In DC mode adjustments can be made. You set a voltage curve against CPU temp. And depending on temps the Motherboard should send out whatever voltage is picked on the table. When you set the curve to start at 100% 0c you should always have 12v to the pump/fan. You can also...

In DC mode it should do that automatically as you set a voltage. There should be no need to pull the PWM pins from the connector. I've no idea what was going on there to cause the issue, perhaps it's because it's an older design pump and it shows a legacy resistance range or something. Either...

I had a similar issue with my MSI X570. Running an EKWB DCP 4.0. I could get a start up blip of power then it would revert to about half speed and sit there. Nothing I could do in the bios resolved it. I tried multiple connections and multiple bios settings. Even in DC mode it never went to...

That would depend on your monitor. Pushing past the refresh rate the monitor offers just adds tearing as the switch rate of the LED's is a set value. Typically you would see a switch rate equal to or very close to the recommended screen refresh. If your monitor is only capable of 60Hz then you...

Turn on V-sync in the problem games and see if the problem vanishes. Edit just read it does. In one of your above posts. This is caused because the frequency of the output frames can cause coil whine. It's normally caused on the GPU, but it can also happen on a PSU or any coil for that...

If you are looking at cooling loops have a look at what complete kits are available. You generally get a better deal, and the components will have the mounting parts that may or may not come with the individual components. It also takes the guesswork out of what tube and fittings to get. EKWB...

Been using the spectrix D60G 17-18-18 1.35v (2x8gb) kit for a couple of months now. That 14-15-15 kit looks to just be the same kit with a better XMP and more voltage. I'm almost tempted to have a play and see if the CL17 kit can do those timings with that voltage as I've been able to run...

I thought about using citric but there are issues with it's effectiveness. If you can see what you are cleaning then it's not an issue. If you can't see what you are cleaning it might cause more problems than it solves. Citric will loosen but not dissolve bigger deposits, meaning you can get...

I wouldn't even attempt to run it at 4.5ghz without some major tweaks, I'd have to turn off a load of features to get it stable long term. The voltage at 1.35v is a bit on the high side for me as well. The 4.4Ghz area I'd probably look into a bit more If I was inclined to run overclocked...

100% sure it's scale. I can see small flakes in the waterblock getting caught up on the fins. I know the rad went through a period of been unused and I think the last time it was on it got flushed with tap water. On reflection there's a good chance it was still wet internally before storage and...

Just noticed a bit of limescale in my waterblock. Chances are it's from the radiator since it's the only part of the loop I can't see inside. The whole loop was inspected before assembly as the loop was recently moved to my new system. I even had the pump in bits and checked that before...

I bought my speakers in 1999. I've had to rebuild the wired remote. Outside of that they work just as well as the day I bought them. Creative Cambridge Audio DTT2200 5.1 Who would have thought that older tech could actually be more future proof. At the time of purchase digital speakers (digital...

Just did a stock run on my 3600 and got 102% with the MSI x570 gaming plus. So if anything it's over reporting and I'm loosing a little power.

I think I just got lucky, I didn't even see the box for the CPU as I got the motherboard CPU and ram as a bundle. I did manage 4.55Ghz at 1.425v a bit crazy and there were no real benefits to those speeds as the temps were creeping into the lower throttle area. It did score 4037 in R20 with no...
