Good to always have an IGPU for troubleshooting, but CPU cache can matter for some applications.

Well you need to, your 5600x does not have an iGPU.

Replace the power supply.

He has a 5950x?

No, you should leave boost on. If it's not cooling sufficiently, you need a new cooler.

Look, people come here for correct and concise info before spending their hard earned and not to see several posters arguing the toss. Some people may even stop reading, THAT'S the point. Lot of unnecessary drivel. Like I say, disagree if you like.

I get what you're saying but the whole twice as fast thing is a big misnomer here, especially given the context of the thread. Benchmark numbers are only useful for testing if a system is performing how it should. Seemed to take ages to arrive at the answer when it really didn't appear to need...

Look, those who like arguing, as has been seen here, add nothing whatsoever. So no, I won't leave well alone. "Twice as powerful" was misleading at best and total misinformation at worst given the context of the thread. Have a great day.

And Cougar kit is generally not great. Try an air cooler.

Your cooler was subject to a recall, MSI Mag Coreliquid models had issues with gunking up. I'd be checking that out.

And gaming was the OP's purpose. So you just spent needless time arguing a moot point. Maybe try to stick to the relevant aspect of the thread?

Armoury Crate might not be set to interfere with the BIOS but that doesn't mean it isn't messing with it. Reason? Armoury Crate is GARBAGE software and I wouldn't have it anywhere near a system. Try to find an alternative.

It really isn't.

On that Thermaltake Smart? Bad advice if that's what you mean. I'm presuming you mean the entire system including PSU?

Get the power supply BEFORE the GPU..
