    [SOLVED] AMD Ryzen 5950X Temperature

    Thanks for your feedback. I have set the pump speed to "BALANCED" in the Corsair iCUE software. Where do we check the power plan (do you mean the control panel -> power options)? Is there any reason you suggest making changes in the BIOS and just use Ryzen Master as a monitoring tool? Also...

    [SOLVED] AMD Ryzen 5950X Temperature

    Thanks for the clarification NightHawk. I guess I am better off just leaving the CPU at stock frequency with PBO. Though I was not clocking it anywhere close to 4.7GHz as you suggested, just maybe to 3.6GHz (the stock base clock is 3.4GHz), but that took away boost clock. Also do you think a...

    [SOLVED] AMD Ryzen 5950X Temperature

    Recently upgraded from a 6700K to a 5950X. Got a new Corsair H115i cooler for it as well (280mm radiator). This is my first AMD processor and I am still figuring out PBO etc (haven't changed things in the BIOS yet), but when I boot into windows (a fresh install) the processor temperature is...

    [SOLVED] 3090 vs 1080 SLI

    True! But what about future proofing? Perhaps better to hold out for 4000 series GPUs (or whatever they will be called)?

    [SOLVED] 3090 vs 1080 SLI

    I have a 3090 on order (that's the one that I could place in my cart, damn scalpers) and will be delivered next week, I was just wondering if I should cancel the order, since @Nemesia mentions that one might only see a 10fps increase.

    [SOLVED] 3090 vs 1080 SLI

    You are right, looks like a 1080 SLI setup is still decent in 2021!

    [SOLVED] 3090 vs 1080 SLI

    I am currently on a 1080 SLI with a 4K 60Hz monitor setup, spent $1500 at the time of launch (Strix cards). Any suggestion on upgrading to a 3090 at ~ $2000 (Strix card)? Do you think I will see any improvement in frame times/fps with a 3090? I know a 3080 might be a better bet price-wise...

    [SOLVED] Samsung 980 Pro - Drive Health and TBW info. "N/A" - Samsung Magician

    Thanks, Bob, I guess that is one of solving the issue. However, I was looking for insight into Samsung's software (after all we pay for it). Ridiculous that it doesn't support their flagship product!
