    [SOLVED] Is my R5 5600X turboing properly?

    I actually ended up fixing this problem on my own. Apparently PBO was enabled through some other setting even though I had PBO disabled through the more obvious setting in the BIOS, and whatever values it was running were very bizarre, which in turn lead to really bizarre performance. At default...

    [SOLVED] Is my R5 5600X turboing properly?

    So I did a little bit more testing, I ran cinebench R23 single core and only got a 1388 score, and almost never saw any core boost over 4.3GHz... many other 5600X's are consistently turboing to the rated 4.6GHz single core at stock and hitting around 1550+ single core score. I saw 4.3GHz all...

    [SOLVED] Is my R5 5600X turboing properly?

    BIOS version 3202, I think it was the AGESA 1.1.9.0 update on ASUS boards CPU Temp is like max 65C without PBO

    [SOLVED] Is my R5 5600X turboing properly?

    I got mine back in like January, and back then I don't remember if task manager was reading max turbo properly, but now, according to HWInfo and task manager, my CPU will only boost to about 4.2GHz under an all core load (AIDA64 FPU stability test). HWInfo Perf clocks will read 4.6, but the...

    [SOLVED] Problems on first boot of PC, tried various troubleshooting steps but have been unable to find answer

    Hey guys, Been a while since I've been on this forum, however I have issues of my own now. I bought my current PC a good while ago, and have been swapping parts in and out ever since I've gotten it. Current PC specs are as such: CPU: Ryzen 7 1700X (OC 3.9GHz, 1.375V) Motherboard: ASRock X370...

    2080 power confusion

    Not sure where people are saying FE 2080 as two 8-pins.. but even if they do have the pictures, the spec sheet on the Nvidia site states 8+6 pin. Maybe the reference card had 2 8 pins? I don't know, but their spec sheet states 8+6 and you should probably trust that.

    Asus Aura Led strip

    Pretty sure any lighting strips that aren't shown on ASUS's site will not work with Aura Sync. So it would be best to choose the one you want off of their site.

    Which CPU cooler should i choose

    I would take the H5 ultimate, it's just a beefier heatsink. Either option is fine for mild-medium overclocking but the H5 is just a bigger and better heatsink.

    ryzen 2600x over i5 8400 which is better ?

    Even gaming performance between the two is pretty similar, since Ryzen+ is much better than the previous generation. If you're not super worried about having the highest fps possible, then get the 2600X. They will both hit 60FPS easily in all games and the 2600X serves better in video editing...

    Gtx 1080 Ti Asus Rog Poseidon VS 1080 Ti MSI Gaming X Trio

    Gaming X Trio if you're going air cooled. The Poseidon is basically an air/watercooling hybrid and does not do either of them particularly well, and it fits a very niche market. Gaming X Trio will give much lower temps and noise by comparison.

    Corsair VOID PRO or STEELSERIES Siberia 350 ? (Headsets)

    I personally have the Void and I love it. Sound is subjective though and the only real way to test it is to try it. If you liked the Vengeance 1500, then you will probably like the Void just as well. I do believe the Void also has slightly better build quality.

    Gaming Tower Running Abnormally Slow

    Use a monitoring software to check CPU/GPU temps and also check CPU/GPU usage. It would also help to do driver updates.

    Keyboard dilema - Kingston HyperX Alloy Elite RGB vs Asus Strix Flare RGB

    They will feel and perform similarly since they have the same switch type. The HyperX Alloy Elite has slightly better build quality. I have heard that the Strix Flare has firmware issues. I would just get whichever one looks better, but my (very slightly favored) choice would be the HyperX...
