    Question 4070ti TUF hotspot question

    My case is a Fractal Design Define 7 XL. It has a closed front, but I've loaded it with 3 noctua fans. Even with all panels open, the temperature only drops 2-3 degrees.

    Question 4070ti TUF hotspot question

    Cyberpunk, full RT: 71 core, 86 hotspot (delta 15) Avatar, full blast: 77 core, 95 hotspot (delta 18) In both cases the indicated load is 100%, but some games make the card run hotter than others, even than synthetic benches. I've plotted delta over full load runs, and it stays within 15-18...

    Question Afterburner voltage controlling and Hwinfo conflict

    I want to do some undervolting in Afterburner. I'm also running Hwinfo for other monitoring. When enabling the functionality in Afterburner, the tooltip contains this warning: https://i.postimg.cc/gcTzry3k/ima.png Does this mean that running Afterburner for voltage control while Hwinfo is...

    Question Sudden GPU temperature spike when launching a new game ?

    Thank you. If there was something really amiss with my card, the other tests wouldn't come back normal, right?

    Question Sudden GPU temperature spike when launching a new game ?

    Hey there, I've been happily running an Asus TUF 4070 TI in my system. Today, I started a new game for the first time (the rumoured crappy-but-so-crappy-it's-good "Wanted: Dead"), and something occured that I've never seen before: my GPU, for just a few seconds, instantly shot to 83...

    Question Is this hotspot temperature normal ?

    I started worrying about my Asus Tuf 4070 Ti OC hotspot temp. Ran a Superposition bench, and plotted the GPU temp, hotspot temp and the delta between them. Does this look normal? Thanks! View: https://imgur.com/a/9rnZvHs

    Question 5900X AVX loads and temps

    CB23 Single Core puts freq at 4925, temp is 62 It's the Prime95 AVX smallest FFTs on just a few cores that immediately shoots to 90

    Question 5900X AVX loads and temps

    So is what I see normal? Even with a beefy cooler?

    Question 5900X AVX loads and temps

    I'm running everything stock. My current temps are nothing to worry about? I was just surprised I could find a scenario in which it hit 90, even though it is a synthetic one.

    Question 5900X AVX loads and temps

    Hey, was testing my 5900X under an NH-D15, and with CB R23 or Aida64 I can't push it past 72C on the hardest tests, which is good. But there is a game (Midnight Suns), which during saving, briefly (2 or 3 seconds) pushes it to 84. So I tested with prime95 AVX on a few cores (1-3) only and doing...

    Question Accidentally scratched motherboard with screwdriver - am I in trouble ?

    System passed memtest, Aida64 stressed and OCCT power tests since this happened. Not my first build, just very clumsy. Check second pic in slideshow as well.

    Question Accidentally scratched motherboard with screwdriver - am I in trouble ?

    How would I check? Would you replace the board?

    Question Accidentally scratched motherboard with screwdriver - am I in trouble ?

    Sorry to bother again, but I think I scratched this part further down the path: View: https://imgur.com/a/gdaHkA2 Seems to be some pin-like thing under a transistor, as far as I can tell. Should I be worried? Computer's running fine, but I'm scared.

    Question Accidentally scratched motherboard with screwdriver - am I in trouble ?

    View: https://imgur.com/a/QAL9u4d Scratched my Tomahawk X570 a bit when I tried to undo a PCIe latch between my beefy Noctua cooler and my GPU with a long screwdriver. PC powers on, works fine, ran through OCCT power test.
