    [SOLVED] Ryzen 3700x REALLY low temps - a fluke?

    Thanks for this, really helpful. So I've put it back to it's standard setting, and applied the Precision Boost Overdrive setting, and it's working great. The fans don't ramp til it gets to 50 degrees so it's basically whisper quiet. I also did this here which seems to have made my CPU sit at a...

    [SOLVED] Ryzen 3700x REALLY low temps - a fluke?

    Right, so maybe I’m being silly. This is a 3.6GHz chip with a 4.4Ghz boost. As I’ve disabled the turbo boost this is an underclock? Obviously it won’t turbo boost constantly? I think someone needs to educate me on how all this actually works haha! This was the solution to my thermal and noise...

    [SOLVED] Ryzen 3700x REALLY low temps - a fluke?

    Hi, I know this is a strange question to ask, as it's not so much a problem as a huge success. I have a Ryzen 3700x, cooled with the CoolerMaster ML240R. I've got it at a constant overclock of 4GHz. Idle it hovers around the low 40s to mid 30s, but when I'm gaming it never goes above 55...

    "windows was not properly shut down"; it did shut down properly! HELP!

    Yeah, fresh install about a month ago-ish. I've realised that disabling fast bootup from the power-options has stopped it from displaying the "windows did not shut down correctly" message after turning it off a few times today to test. Will keep you informed if this still works.

    "windows was not properly shut down"; it did shut down properly! HELP!

    Hey guys, So I've been tackling certain issues with my PC ever since I moved from my Gigabyte mobo to my Asus Z87-PRO. I had some random hardware blues screens ("LiveKernelEvent" and "USBHUB3_DEVICE_ENUMERATION_FAILURE" and Driver issues). All these problems I believe to be resolved but who...

    Upgrading to Intel! Need peace of mind! (parts, money, things!)

    Yeah I heard it was a bug fest when it first came out but I've had no problems what-so-ever. Constant 60fps on Ultra, 64-player maps. Seems like I didn't get too hurt by the bugs really. Only map I have to turn the graphics settings a bit down on is Siege of Shanghai after the building has...

    Upgrading to Intel! Need peace of mind! (parts, money, things!)

    Right, long time no speak! So, I'm all set up with my i5 4670k running at 4.2ghz and it is one hell of a mammoth. It has made a huge difference, can finally play Battlefield 4 at the highest settings without it breaking a sweat. Turned out I made the right decision and I'm running great! All...

    Upgrading to Intel! Need peace of mind! (parts, money, things!)

    I just watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqBdqLJ16Q0 Looking at how a 7950 performs with an i7, I can expect the same with an i5 4670k. So yeah, I think I'm decided now. Still feel free to talk about how I could get better frames before I buy guys.

    Upgrading to Intel! Need peace of mind! (parts, money, things!)

    Right, so it has helped. However, a constant 60fps is still non-existent. Look at this screencap I took (http://postimg.org/image/gh4egdqz5/), look at my gpu usage. I think that pretty much speaks YOU NEED A BETTER CPU. When monitoring my cpu that wasn't even maxing out. But yeah, the parking...

    Upgrading to Intel! Need peace of mind! (parts, money, things!)

    Right, so after another test with 64 players I think it's evident that the cpu is at fault here. I even took the OC off the GPU and found it made me gain fps. Although, I still couldn't maintain a constant 60fps. I think the the main thing I found from the last play-through was the almost...

    Oh, also note i get MASSIVE lag spikes on my gpu usage.
