After consulting with Asrock support, they say that this is normal behavior for their motherboards, but the didn't give much details for why this is so. I just wonder if this is the case for their higher end motherboard also or just the lower tier ones. Someone here with an Asrock motherboard...

Well..any insights? I read about Spread Spectrum, but isn't it supposed to cause a slight frequency fluctuation? My motherboard has a static 0.25mhz reduction in the BCLK, simply gives 99.75 instead of 100. I can increase it to 100.25 to correct it, but I am not sure if this is ok or...

Hi, Bios version 5.07 (the latest non-beta). 14900k, Gskill Ripjws S5 DDR5 6800 (2x16GB)

Hi everyone, I am a first time Asrock user and this is the first time I use a board which on Auto runs at 99.8 BCLK instead of 100. Surprisingly There is no Spread Spectrum setting in the bios. In previous motherboards I dealt with, the BCLK was always on 100, but when looking at HWinfo the...

Hi, I just built in the EVO XL and I must say this is the best case I had so far, and I have built in great cases from Fractal like Meshify 2, Torrent (was actually my last built based on air cooling) and also Phanteks P400A ... just to name a few. I used air cooling on all of them, so...

Hi, I am currently running 14900K CPU. I know that PL2 (short duration boost) is limited to 320W and lasts 56 seconds before it goes down to 253W (PL1) . I ran a constant load and indeed it started at 320W and after the TAU (Turbo time parameter) it went down to 253W as expected and...

Hi, It depends on the game, but I have a 4090 so usually well above 100 fps (only in cyberpunk it's around 80 -90..cause path tracing). I guess some game don't do that, but also a lot do.

Hi, with all of today's fast hardware, autosaves during gameplay still create hiccups. For example, in cyberpunk 2077 and far cry 6.. I am running 14900k with SN850X PCI 4.0 NVMe. Why is that? Is this operation so complicated that even the fastest hardware on the market can't do it...

Excuse me.. please move this thread to Windows 11 forum. I didn't see that there are other topics at the bottom of the list :) EDIT: you can just delete this thread.. I found the solution. I needed to manually download the "Realtek Audio Console" (which is not easy to find..even searching on...

Hi everyone, I hope this is the right forum for this question. In my previous PC (Realtek ALC4080) I could keep the headphones plugged into the front jack and my front speakers to the rear jack.. both at the same time, and I could just switch between them via Windows. It was very...

Thx for the replies. Before I had an AIO I was using an air cooler (but without a contact frame) and it was exactly the same behavior, and the mount was good, I checked it couple of times. The thermal paste application should also be ok (if anything, I put too much maybe..but no way too...

Hi, At load, is it normal to have some P-cores at 80+c while others are in the 60's? I am using a 420mm AIO that comes with its own contact frame (Arctic Liquid Freezer III).

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I just installed this today, in the end I decided to go for the minimum resistance. I used a very small screwdriver (with a small Phillips head) I used only one hand and stopped turning the screws when I felt the slightest resistance. When I removed...

Hi everyone, I just bought a bunch of these fans. With the pack of 3 you also get a fan controller with 3 modes (Low 300-1300 , Medium 300-2200 , High 300-2600) . Unlike normal fan controllers that I've used in the past, where you have a Sata power connection directly to the PSU, this...

Did you do the extra 1/4 turn? or did you stopped turning the screws right after you felt them engaging the motherboard?
