    Question Why boosting my GPU's clock, max clock is improved but current clock is hardly changed?

    Thanks for all the info, @hotaru.hino . As I'm using Linux, I don't have access to the same software as you do. And it seems like GWE does not let me change voltage. In fact, it does not even report it. Maybe it's a shortcoming of the Nvidia's Linux driver. But still, it's good to know how to...

    Question Why boosting my GPU's clock, max clock is improved but current clock is hardly changed?

    And what would that be? I mean what are my options? On the topic of "the only two things", I can see that I have the option to change the power limit (in the screenshot shown above, it's already at maximum). But I don't see any interface to change the voltage. Perhaps GWE does not support that...

    Question Why boosting my GPU's clock, max clock is improved but current clock is hardly changed?

    I'm trying to boost my 3090's clock using GreenWithEnvy (Linux) app. I can boost the GPU clock +200 MHz and see that the "max clock" reflects the boost. But when I put some load on the device, the actual (current) clock hardly goes beyond 1900! Why is that? Here's a screenshot of my settings:

    Question Things to consider before installing a GPU with a riser

    Well, this is a copy/paste from their website. But it does not answer my question of whether the riser cable bents are acceptable or not! Also, what does it mean "PCI-E 4 compatible"? Does it mean it will fall back to PCI-E 3? Can I get a PCI-E 4-speed out of this cable?

    Question Things to consider before installing a GPU with a riser

    I'm about to get my hands on a 3090 and I have an SSF computer with a Hydra Mini case. This means that in order to install the GPU I have to use a riser. The Hydra Mini case comes with a cable. They claim it's a good one but who would say their product is a bad one!? Anyways, since the value of...

    Question NewEgg's calculator recommends 800~900 Watts but I've got a 750, do I really need to upgade?

    Progress was made, so I thought I should share it here. I got a Watt meter to measure how much power my machine was drawing. Running a stress test that puts all the 16 cores of my CPU under load draws 223W (max). That leaves 750W-223W = 527W for the GPU. Now, is that enough for a 3090? That I...

    I know this is not directly relevant to this post but in case someone finds it useful, here are the thermals of my system using two different fans:

    Question NewEgg's calculator recommends 800~900 Watts but I've got a 750, do I really need to upgade?

    Thanks for the recommendation. I'm not going to buy a GPU right now. I'm not in a rush. I would rather wait for the 40 series to come out so 30 series will be cheaper. But still, it has to be 3090 or 3090 ti. It's not a matter of speed for my use case. But rather memory size. In ML, more memory...

    Sure, I don't mind. Here you go: I've got a NH-L9i too but that does not really cool it properly. It works but it throttles so fast.

    Question NewEgg's calculator recommends 800~900 Watts but I've got a 750, do I really need to upgade?

    Not sure if "open concept" is the correct term for it. This is my case: https://www.hydra-shop.com/product-page/hydra-mini Even though I could ignore the fact that a bigger PSU could simply go beyond the case's boundary, I prefer something that actually fits. Also, I went with Mini ITX because...

    Question NewEgg's calculator recommends 800~900 Watts but I've got a 750, do I really need to upgade?

    Any particular PSUs? I've been looking online in the past few minutes but so far, I could not find that many options. As a reminder, this is a MiniITX setup. So I believe my options are only SFX and SFX-L form factor (not sure though). These are what I've found: Asus ROG Loki 1000W SFX-L...

    Question NewEgg's calculator recommends 800~900 Watts but I've got a 750, do I really need to upgade?

    The processing will be mostly on the GPU but it does not mean that CPU will be ideal. To be honest, it's been a while since I've had such a setup and as I said in my post, I don't have the GPU yet so I cannot test it right now. Having said that, I have lost a GPU once before. But that was a...
