    Question MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX & Ryzen 5 3600x sluggish and low userbenchmark score

    Maybe it's failing to boot with xmp enabled and resseting the BIOS without XMP. See if you can update your BIOS to the latest version, but be careful. You may need to update to an older version before you can update to the latest. Your CPU is quite hot too. See if you can increase the fan...

    Question Does this sound like coil whine?

    The graphics card is probably causing the whine, However, coil whine may also be the power supply, or the motherboard. See if you can pinpoint where the noise is coming from.

    [SOLVED] xbox headset on pc

    You will need a Female to 2 Male Audio Splitter. This Splits the headset to two 3.5mm ports. One for Audio, One for microphone. You can then plug it into the PC. Usually the headphones come with one, if not you will need to order one on Amazon. I Check an unboxing video, and it is included...

    Question Does this sound like coil whine?

    Does sound like coil whine to me. In my experience, it would only occur if I had an insane amount of fps e.g in the loading screen where I might hit 300-400fps Does the whine change pitch/noise when the fps changes? See if you can set an fps limit to see if the whine stops, or reduces.

    [SOLVED] i7 8700k running too hot with proper cooling during stress test?

    Aida64 is pretty much the most stress intensive application you can hit a CPU. The T junction for the 8700k is 100c - If your clockspeed isn't reducing then you should be fine.

    Question PC slows down a huge margin after a few hours

    Sounds like your pc might be underclocking due to overheating. Install HWmonitor and perform a stress test (or play some games) and send a screenshot across of the temps (CPU, GPU, Motherboard)

    [SOLVED] Which has better performance, Ryzen 7 5800H (no gpu) vs i7-1165G7 w/ MX450 & Thunderbolt 4?

    For the work you mentioned, more cores the better. The 5800H has to be the one. 5800H does have a higher TDP, but its double the cores.

    Question MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX & Ryzen 5 3600x sluggish and low userbenchmark score

    It looks like your memory speed is running at 2133 mhz. You can quickly check it by opening task manager, and going into the performance tab. Your memory should be running at 3600mhz. Check if XMP is enabled in your BIOS, this will set your ram at the desired speed from the manufacturer. Ryzen...
