You can't overclock on A320. Are you sure it's actually running at 3200 while in windows?

Yeah. It will give you a graph of temperature vs fan speed. You select points on the graph to decide what the fan speed will be at any given temp.

fans will have a small 3 or 4 pin connector that plugs into the motherboard fan header. In some older models it may have a molex connector. Any that have a molex connector can be plugged into the PSU's molex connections. Fans with 3 or 4 pin connectors can use splitters (a connector to the...

Yes. That motherboard has a DVI-D output that can used with an adapter to connect to to VGA. You may have trouble using the 200GE on that motherboard if the bios is out of date.

running 85 is definitely worse when you consider half of the gpu is unused. Once you try to max a game and then use the rtx and tensor cores as well it will be way too hot. That's normally a very cool running gpu, I'd definitely take off the panel until you can do something about air intake into...

89°C+

not sure how it looks fake. I don't see any reason to think that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3kGJUh3F1c&t=3m30s

use something else. that voltage would kill it instantly so it's not reporting correctly or trixx is not reading correctly. try afterburner

are both pcie power cables plugged into the gpu?

Not to worry, it has finally righted itself after like the 50th boot, for some unknown reason :S

MSI tomahawk, MSI pro carbon AC (has wi-fi), Asrock pro4, asrock fatality k4, asus strix-f. all good B450 boards

It's more a time waster than a big deal. AMD will supply a loan of a compatible CPU if the BIOS needs updated to support the 2600. If you're bothered, get a cheaper PSU and replace the motherboard with the spare cash. You've way overspecced on the PSU (will consume 300-320W at most) a cheaper...

Hey, I dug out my old Phenom II 965BE, gigabyte ga73lmtusb3 rev 4.1. and scrapped together a little general use PC. I used to run this CPU at 1.37v @3.9GHz using the AMD overdrive utility. It was a simple matter of checking the 'apply last settings at boot' box. Now, OD just won't auto apply the...

yeh I saw that, the 8700 was cheaper in pcpartpicker canada (389 vs 399). I'd still agree with taking the 8600k though.
