New Seagate Sata 6gbp/s 7200 hard drive seems to have continuously high usage. Can hear it running all the time and everythying seems pretty slow as a result. Task manager shows no apps using it excessively, yet disk usage % number stays high. On my other pc with a simlar state it shows disk...

My last post wasn't the end of the story as the very next day my Cinebench score went back down to 2500 ish and stayed there no matter what I tried. In desperation I reinstalled windows and all was instantly fixed. weird. Thought I would make this final reply with my solution in case someone...

Wow don't I feel dumb, I just realised I have been using this cpu for a nearly a year without the chipset drivers installed! Just installed them and my cinebench score zoomed up to 3572! I'm very happy and embarrassed at the same time, a rather odd emotion. haha. :D:flushed:

Ok cooler arrived and temps are now waayyy down, score is a bit better but still not near what I hear others are getting with a Ryzen 3600. I'm now anywhere between 2730 and 3100. Here is what ryzen master looked like while it was running, better boost and lower temps but still a bad score...

Getting some really woeful cinebench scores so something is definitely up. This was the state during running, so i'm guessing it's a case of thermal throttling. Have already ordered a new cooler which I'll be installing tonight. fingers crossed this resolves the issue. Will report back later...

Vega64, 1080p, 75hz. Case is a cooler master (can't remember what model) and has good airflow. I think getting a better cooler even if its just for the noise is worth my while, the stock one is so loud!

Ok thanks for replies, I think I'll push the button on a decent cooler.

When I got my Ryzen 3600, I just plugged it in and played without really noticing temps, frequency etc. But recently it feels like games which used to run very smooth have slowed down somewhat, most notable BF5 on some maps (Narvik esp) dropping down to 40fps or so. Lowering video settings made...

So I heard something about founders edition (FE) being out a month earlier than the normal 1070/1080's. I don't want one of these as I understand it's another $100, basically for a cool sounding name. Are we out of FE only release yet and are all the cards I'm seeing without the founders tag...

awesome, thanks.

well 3 monitors are just dvi to dvi and 1 is using a dvi to hdmi. I'm guessing I will need active displayports to convert from dvi to displayport signal or something.

Have a gtx 950 on the way and wondering what I'll need to get 4 monitors running. Will I need 2 active display port adapters, or can I just plug them all in? The card has 2 dvi, 1 hdmi and 1 displayport. edit: I ask if I need active displayport adapters because I previously had an amd card...

Thanks for the info guys, reason I'm going for Nvidia is I've heard they consume less power and run cooler. My HD7970 actually uncomfortably heated the room in summer. Good to know if I bought now, I likely wouldn't be gutted to see prices drop 50% so I think I'll do that as I can't imagine a...

I've just had the misfortune of my 3 year old HD7970 dying on me. I was thinking of upgrading once the new amd and nvidia cards come out in expectation that prices of current gen stuff would drop significantly and I might be able to pick up a gtx970 or something at a good price. Now I'm in the...
