I did a quick curve optimizer with -30 offset on it. We have a big fan blowing cool air directly on the VRM's. Temperatures of the VRM's dropped by about 15°. Package temperatures dropped by about 8°. No more weird drops in clock speed at the moment. Everything is rock solid and stable. The...

He states that it is only been in use for about 2 years now. I'll try the Ryzen balanced power plan!

Thank you for this information. Sorry if it is confusing, I am troubleshooting for a friend, it is not for my PC. He is not using the NH-15, but a Auraflow x240. I have seen a picture of his setup and it seems that no air is directly going over te VRM's. Due to the recent weather, I am pretty...

No it does not have heatsinks, you can see it clearly. He also has a smaller case, so everything runs a bit hotter. The theory about the VRM's overheating and causing a throttle seems to be a logical explenation. Went into the bios and disabled everything to do with PBO. In the last stress...

Hey thanks for your response! He is running the be quiet! System Power9 700W. I can check if the drivers are up to date. Can they cause this sudden kind of behavior? Last week this was not happening. Thank you for the clarification on the motherboard, he hasn't had issues up to now. Can it...

Yea it seemed fine to me as well.. Event Viewer looks fine, no major errors or warnings. The strange thing is that it started so suddenly. He didn't update any drivers or BIOS. The only thing I can see that there were 2 Windows updates recently: KB5027215, KB5027538. I'm helping him...

Sorry for the resolution of the screenshots. To aswer your questions: Is the CPU being overclocked (PBO etc). No, I tried turning it on but it makes no difference exept clocking a bit higher with higher temperatures. What are the maximum temperatures of the individual CPU cores? While...

Hey all I'm helping a friend troubleshoot a problem he has with his gaming PC. These are his specs: CPU: 5900x Mobo: Gigabyte A520M H RAM: Corsair 2x8GB 3200MHz CL16 RAM GPU: Nvidia RTX3070 Be Quiet!: 700W Two days ago while playing Warzone 2 he suddenly started to encounter frame drops. He...

Thank you for the fast responses. I will have a look tomorrow and try the suggestions. I will keep you guys posted!

Hi! Yesterday my laptop suddenly refused to boot. The last time I turned on my laptop, it was running some kind of diagnostic in the BIOS. Because the battery was drained after a long day, the laptop powered off during the process. After recharging the battery, the laptop refused to boot...

Thanks for your response! I ordered the Ventus and the performance is better than expected. The card boosts up to 1980Mhz in game (BF5) with a maximum temperature of 50°. This is running stock!

I'm planning to use this card for quite a long time. Is the extra OC headroom and better cooling of the STRIX card not enough to justify the extra cost? The Ventus seems interesting indeed, but will it be enough to keep it running smoothly for a few years?

Okay, and what is the reason? The price, performance, looks?

Hi all I'm in the process of upgrading my system. I use my system mainly for playing Battlefield 5. At the moment I am waiting for the new Ryzen CPU's to be available, but i'm already looking into upgrading my GPU. At the moment, I have a Gigabyte GTX 960 (4GB). I can just play BF5 now, with...
