Your PC ATM

[itsakjt]

Pretty good cable management for a case like 100R, though that PCIe cable is screaming for a ziptie.

I know. Thing is I use this PC as a sort of test system as well occasionally. For example, when any of my friends ask me to do a repaste and deep cleaning of their graphics card, this is the system I use to test it out after the servicing. Hence I left the PCIe cable as it is.
For the case, yeah did the best I could. When I bought this case on 2017, I was pretty limited in terms of space and hence needed something small and functional and this ticked most of the boxes. Since this case front panel does not have good airflow, I have added a Silverstone AB120AR high static pressure and high airflow (93 CFM) fan on the front blowing in air directly to the GPU as the 2060 Super was getting quite toasty with temps settling around 82 degree C. After adding the fan, it stays at a respectable 74 degree C, 2 degrees higher than with the side panel off.

I had the mATX version (88R) back in the day and managing the cables was a nightmare

IIRC it had a Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3, Pentium G3258, 8GB DDR3, R9 290, Creative SB Recon3D, 2x HDD + SSD and a bluray drive.

Whoa! That's excellent cable management too considering there are two AIOs in that tiny case and also considering the PSU is non modular as well.
The thing about these cases are they look like office PCs from the front, but as you slide the side panel off, its a whole new story.

Switched my bottom radiator around. Don't know why i never did it like this in the first place, the drain valve is in a much better position with the front and side panels removable. Should be better this way with the front distribution plate too instead of having pipes running from front to back of the case.

V impressive. Might want to tighten up that SOC LLC a bit though, fair bit of spread there. LLC 3 it's constant 1.112V on mine but I do have a different controller than you

I was just up at max pump and fan speed (2000rpm push 1500rpm pull) to see what sort of scores I could get and I was at about 23411 cb @ 79.9C and 210W (kinda just punched in random numbers though, I don't have much interest in this area). So 84C on air is nice. But my ambient is also 4 degrees hotter than yours.

I've noticed that Ryzen core-to-core temp deltas are really bad compared to Intel. Maybe it gets better with lapping but not fully convinced. From what I can tell the differences get progressively bigger as you push more PPT. Better mounting + water helps a bit, but still they need to really work on this. Consolidating all temps into a single Tctl/Tdie is just avoiding the problem. None of the APUs have this problem and neither do the 1CCD parts I think though my sample size is limited on 1CCD

Thank you sir. About my SOC, you are right.. it is at lvl 3 but is normally tighter than that.. might have ta clear cmos. Loosey Goosey.

23411.. I think she has some more in her.. care to share some of your settings, maybe i can help.. 84c for my temps is kind of weak, I had my fans limited to about 2K because I enjoy relative quiet.. and I forgot to change their limits.. that extra 1K they have left makes a big difference when running a single fan on the cooler

Yes, Intel is much more refined, they have their stuff down pat.. pardon the pun PPT makes these 7nm chips brutal to deal with man, its very intense. My 5600X is very easy to cool, its issues with heat come right at the top of manual clocking.. it also does not like 4900MHz very much. But its super easy to cool. Looking forward to seeing what Intel brings next.. gonna have to get one

Online atm with this rig, circe 2004 P4 (HT) and an His X1950 Pro (AGP) running WinXP. Got it out of storage to see if it would still run. Surprise

This is my second PC as on specs. This is a no non-sense pure gaming and entertainment PC. I occasionally install the 2060 Super here for gaming. Still performs excellent on every game I throw at it.
I got the motherboard as prize from ASUS OC India Tour on 27th February 2016. The RAMs, I won from an HWBot OC competition. Initially built the system on 2017 with an i5 7600K. Later on, did the CoffeeTime BIOS mod for 8th and 9th gen support, got an i5 9600KF brand new for a steal price and replaced the 7600K. This motherboard now supports every CPU from 6th gen to 9th gen. I also got a discrete TPM module since this motherboard lacks firmware TPM (Intel PTT) for less than 1200 INR (around 15 USD) and added full support for official Windows 11 that way.
That cooler (CM Seidon 120V) is about 7.5 years old and surely I have been nothing but mighty impressed with how it held up all these years. The i5 9600KF runs with an all core OC of 5.1 GHz along with cache frequency at 4.8 GHz!

The only modern thing missing from this is Resizable bar support, not that I am missing it since I don't have a RTX 3000 series card or an AMD RX5/6 series card but yeah, it is what it is.

I did try porting rebar from other similar Z370 based board BIOSes to this without success.

The only other thing that needs to go, is that PSU!

No Pic atm.

A8 3800
8GB DDR3 1600
Asrock A75M HSV
R7 260X

Its a nice oldie sys, yeah for sure no SSE4.1 and SSE4.2
But i play primary on my PS4 and on the pc mostly MMORPG or Indies.

In January i get tiny VRM coolers and then ill oc it.


Edit: i have a few projects but my primary will be an CPU first above 2 cores i had, now a build with more money. (Phenom x6)

Phenom x6 BE
Asus 990FX EVO
32GB RAM
R9 390 (if i get it from a friend)
Superflower Leadex 3
Corsair Carbide 240
cooler, we will see
Intel AX200
480GB SATA SSD
480GB PCIE SSD
2x 1TB HDD
Bluray Combo Drive

Agreed. Basically I had a Corsair CS750M there and on May this year I got the ASUS ROG Strix 750G for my primary PC as on specs along with the Crucial P5 SSD. One expense was leading to another and hence was quite tight on my budget to be honest.
I will change it later when the time is right.

The P4 rig that I dug out of storage. Took the card out to show comparison of size.

Why? Seems decent enough from the limited info I could find.

It is just okay for the price. Under light loads, some reviews have reported unwanted high ripple for the 12V rail.

 

[Selaya]

it's a budget tier psu. gp-p750gm this is not, but a supernova g2 or rm650x this isn't either.

That series is known to cause trouble. Based on tests that were done. (MWE)

I just realized that now my GPU boosts higher when I switched from that Define C Mini to this Corsair 4000D Airflow. Temps dropped more than I even imagined.

Before it was practically impossible that I could have 2GHz+ for more than a brief moment. Now (at least in FF VII Remake) 2025MHz is stable.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Low temps really help GPU's. My 980ti runs at 1500 core as its water cooled.

Yeah, the Define was way too airflow restricted, only vents in the side of the front mask. This has a non-restricted front panel so the GPU (and the whole system) gets way more fresh air.

Reminds me that with a VBIOS mod, I can go from the artificial GPU core lock of 17xx Mhz to 2025 Mhz easily on my RX 5600 XT. If it wasn't for Igor's Lab, then I wouldn't be hitting such GPU core speeds months ago.
It seemed stable there with the GPU Vcore at 1137 mV.

OTOH, unlike the GeForce GTX 1660 Super that I have, lately, pretty much any VRAM OC on my Radeon RX 5600 XT, was no bueno!
With the temp just somewhat higher, I started getting "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR Cache Hierarchy Error" crashes!

Same crash reason as with a faulty CPU, but it was because of unstable VRAM!

I honestly wonder if even the Corsair CX550Ms are better. I have at least one of them, if not two from the later-2010s. I took the cover off to look and it doesn't look that bad.

 

[freeagent]

My 980ti runs at 1500 core

My 980 Classified does as well, but with air

I remember my 970 (Gigabyte G1) and 980 (Strix) hitting 1500 easily as well when I had those.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Apparently 1500 for these is pretty good

My 980 Classified does as well, but with air

What temp? mine gets to 50c on water at 1500

 

[freeagent]

It’s been awhile, 60-65c give or take..

 

[seth1911]

i dont know, what should i take for the primary PC ?

i like the FM1 A75 Mainboard but the CPU have no SSE4.1 etc. , my FM2+ A88X looks like shit and the CPU have SSE4.1 etc.
(FM1 = Asus F1A75-V-Pro)
(FM2+ = Gigabyte F2A88X-D3HP)

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

(FM2+ = Gigabyte F2A88X-D3HP)

That's the same motherboard I have. I bought it in 2016. I still have the Athlon X4 860K that I bought the same year in it. It went into my MSI B450 Tomahawk box, LOL.

And yes, even a Ryzen 3 3200G, will decimate it! The Athlon X4 860K was struggling often with GTA V and Halo MCC. (high CPU usage percentage)

And u have a nice Backdoor with ure AMD PSP
