Hi All, I have been running my system now for quite a few years with no issues. Returned home after a long weekend and the machine now won't power on. Power light on the mobo is lighting up but neither case or the mobo power switch are working. System specs as follows: GA-AX370 Gaming K7 AMD...

couple of years old and yes two 8-pin connectors

I'm having issues at stock speeds sometimes. I did a power calculation to tot up the wattage draw of all my components and it came to 650ish watts. I suspect I may need a better PSU??

Hi All, I've been trying to benchmark lately and am having significant issues with 3d Mark. System spec in signature. CPU overclocked and I would consider it to be solid. I stopped OCCT after 3+ hours running on blend with all memory used. Ran Prime for over 24 hours with multiple test...

disabling cool and quiet sorted it. Thanks.

Yes its overclocked and its prime and OCCT stable.

Thanks for your response. How do I check this. Are you suggesting if it is installed it could be causing a conflict seeing as its a Ryzen build? In the System firmware option under device manager its saying its running a microsoft driver??

Hi, Looking through my event log i noticed that i have a number of Kernel-processor-power errors giving the following details: "Performance power management features on processor 14 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."...

the issue was simple. I updated premiere pro to the 2018 version, this seems to be optimised better for multi threaded processors and it seems to utilise my GTX 1080 Ti better. Prior to this I was using CC 2014. The old version of CC seemed to only utilise processor and GPU by about 30%, 5% max...

Encode settings and usage: http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/5355384762

there is something not right... I am currently exporting a 1 minute clip as a test which is a mixture of 4k and 1080p slow motion footage. In software rendering was fast, about 5 minutes to render all effects. The encode is currently sitting at 2 hours!!! this is slower than my last CPU which...

Is it worth turning off CUDA and forcing software only?

Hi There, I have a reasonably recent Ryzen build for video editing. My issue is that in Adobe Permiere Pro will only utilise around 30% max but generally sits around 20% on the CPU and no more than 3% on the GPU while encoding 4k footage with 2 LUTs, warp stabiliser and grain applied. My...

bumped voltage one notch, no noticeable impact on temps and it got through 3 hours of linpack. I thought OCCT and Prime basically do the same thing. Will use OCCT in the future I think. is 3 hours of linpack enough?

OK, i thought it may be ram. I thought the prime blend with 75% would cover this and also ran memtest 86 for 8 passes with no issues?
