Recently, I've been trying out a 4.0 GHz clock on my 4690k. Under full load in prime95 (default blend test) there is an enormous temperature spread between the cores: 91-80-60-50. Link to hwmonitor readings: https://image.ibb.co/caDAKp/test.png. I have never heard of that kind of temperature...

Recently, my FX 9590 has been overheating (not an uncommon problem, but hey) and I've been wondering if my AIO could be to blame. It's a Corsair H100i v1 thats probably 5-6 years old so it is not unthinkable that it could be suffering from the effects of liquid evaporation. However, I'm not very...

Thanks for the advice Karadjgne! I will try to replace the 9590 with a 8350 going for $40 where I live. If the 8350 also runs hot I will know that the water cooler is at fault.

Thanks for the input, guys! The cooler is probably around 5 years old (I bought it used), so fluid evaporation might be a problem. It is summer now where I live, but the CPU max temp has risen 20 C while ambient temps has only risen 10 C at most. It still overheats if I take the rad out of the...

I have used HWiNFO and AIDA64 for measuring temps. There are 3 different temp sensors related to the CPU (core, package and something else) and all have risen during the last months. The crashes and freezes when sensors read above 80 C also seems to indicate thermal shutdown. I have reapplied...

My FX 9590 has been getting hotter and hotter throughout the last couple of months. In the beginning it idled around 30 C and maxed out at 65 C. Now idle is around 40 C and under load it shoots up to 86 C, and the computer freezes. Here are the specs: Motherboard: ASUS M5A99FX PRO Rev. 2...

Oops. It seems that I forgot to set power management to performance. The CPU-clock going way down was the source of my problem.

I'm trying to make a SSF desktop using a Gigabyte BRIX Pro (4770R) and a Gigabyte 1050 Ti LP going through the mPCIe-port (with an EXP GDC 8.4d). At first, it seemed to work nicely i games: only 10-20% fps drop compared to x16 PCIe. After a few minutes however, GPU usage dropped from 90-100% to...

We meet again Robert! Upping FSB voltage +0.2V and MCH +0.15 V (under active cooling of NB and SB) doesn't seem to produce stability at 444MHz FSB and a 2.4 DRAM ratio (1066MHz). MemTest gives errors instantly. This is the case at 6-6-6-18 as well as at 6-7-7-20. Lowering the DRAM ratio to 2.0...

I'm trying to get four sticks of DDR2 Kingston HyperX (KHX8500AD2/2G) running at advertised spec on my old trusty Gigabyte GA-P35-D3SP. By default, they run at 800Mhz with a timing of 6-6-6-18 at 1.8V while they are advertised for 1066Mhz with a timing of 7-7-7-20 at 2.0V. Apparently, BIOS...

I tested with a two-side-chips stick and it goes to BIOS just fine now! Thank you Robert! Tell me, how did you come by this sorcery?

I flashed all 45 nmm 775 and 771 CPUs. I doesn't beep without RAM. Actually, I don't think the mobo even has a buzzer.
