I've thought of that also, putting in the 5800x3d then doing a new build later in 2024. That way I can see how the 8000 cpu series will mature. Something to think about for sure.
Ya for the most part I'm pretty patient. I don't mind waiting and for once I can finally upgrade or do a new build (just because I feel like it) without hurting my wallet. I tend to either wait it out or skip a series before I upgrade or do a new build. I am interested in seeing the "official"...
My system only gets taxed with gaming. I don't do any actual "work" on it when it comes to how the cpu is used. My funds aren't burning a hole really but I'm financially able to upgrade without hurting my wallet. The last upgrade with this build was from a 2600x to the 5600x, along with the...
Ya it was the GPU. I replaced at microcenter just over two weeks ago. Haven't had a single crash since. I've been unlucky a few times with new PC hardware being bad out of the box.
I had the same experience after I replaced my radeon 6700 xt with a 6950 xt. Everyone replied to my thread saying it's my PSU when its not even a year old and is 1000w which is more than enough. I ended up exchanging the GPU and I haven't had a kernel 41 error for the past two weeks. If you can...
Ya it was the 6950 xt bad out of the box. I got it replaced with my microcenter warranty two weeks ago and not a single kernel 41 error reboot since. I did consider exchanging it for a 3080 or 4070 since I've had nvidia gpu's in the past with no issue. But wanted to give AMD another chance and I...
It was the GPU. I exchanged it for the same gpu at microcenter two weeks ago now and not a single kernel 41 error. The psu is less than a year old. I also put the two new sticks of ram that I bought with the gpu back in and still no kernel 41 errors. I've been unlucky a few times with new pc...
I can confirm that the kernel error was caused by a bad gpu out of the box. Since replacing the 6950 xt with another one I haven't had a single crash for the past week. Also the two new sticks of ram have been put back in which also confirms that the new ram kit is good to go.
Been back and gaming for about two and half hours and not a single kernel 41 error reboot. Usually I'd get a random kernel 41 error within the first hour of gaming.
I just got back from microcenter and was able to replace with another reference radeon 6950 xt. Fingers crossed this time. My PSU has always been on single rail and still is. I did double checked the power cable on both ends and reconnected it to the PSU and to the new 6950. I looked at my BIOS...
While I was gaming I had the adrenaline overlay up. When the kernel error happened no heat build up or any voltage spikes. The screen just went black. Every time I did a trouble shoot step I unplugged and disconnected the PSU so it was reset every time. If you look at my hardware list the PSU...
I've already removed the two new sticks of ram and I'm still getting this kernel 41 error/reboot. I've had the PSU since 4/2022 so not even a year. I've had PSU's go bad with my past builds so I'm familiar with bad PSU's. I highly doubt my 1000w PSU went bad just because I changed GPU's. The...
