The CPU I' tried to undervolt was a i5-1135G7 on a laptop. As far as I've seen on google, it's not possible to undervolt it. Also, when looking for other CPUs on YT and Google, it seemed like a roulette to me. "You can undervolt this one, but not this one, this one has a lock in the BIOS that...

Today I learned that you can't undervolt 10th gen CPUs from intel. And it seems like that the other newer gens also aren't as simple as they used to be. By simple, I mean the good old "install Throttle Stop - adjust voltage - run some crash test - finished" method. I'm not happy about it. Here...

Thanks for the link man, imma give this a try!

I've always been an Intel guy so I know just how to undervolt with ThrottleStop. I wanted to undervolt my dad's laptop to make it run cooler, but sadly found out that I can't use ThrottleStop with AMD. After some research I've decided to go with Universal X86 Utility, but I can't find any decent...

Are there any benefits or is it irrelevant in this case? CPU is i5 9400f. I would get a Corsair RM850X 2021 if ATX3 is not a big deal. If it is important, then I'd go with Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 850W ATX v3.0. Any thoughts on that? Btw, I'm not planning on changing this GPU for a looong...

The thing is, my CPU doesn't use more than 30W and my GPU doesn't use more than 240W no matter what game I've played so far. And I've played and monitored a lot in the past year. It's probably cuz I don't play on ultra settings and I always play 60fps. Since my GPU is a RX6800XT I know I need a...

The first 3 are all somewhere around 210€ (5€ more or less). The last one is 265€. I really don't care about the 2 years warranty extra, cuz I doubt I'll be using the same build for 10+ years. But judging by what you've said, I can't really go wrong. I'll take look at some reviews tonight at...

Cool, thanks man! Btw, is it important what motherboard I have? Like, are there any compatibility issues between the PSU and different motherboards?

I went cheap on my last PSU and it died after 18 months. So I decided to go for a decent one this time. I'm limited to these here cuz my old one still had varanty and I have to pick one of these from the same store in order to get the refund. ASUS 850W ROG-STRIX-850G, Black, Full modular, 80...

Yup. Nothing runs Assassin's Creed: Black Flag like a PC :grinning:

Oh, ok... Thanks man, I didn't know that! I'm actually slowly thinking about selling this whole damn thing and looking for another hobby. I've put over 1000€ (plus 800€ for a big 4k TV) into this box and it now it doesn't turn on anymore. I don't care if it's just the PSU, it' always gonna be...

I use MS Afterburner to track my wattage. Sometimes I leave it on for the whole gaming session and I've never seen a number bigger that 220W no matter what was going on in any game. If you're implying that the GPU can suddenly peak from 220W to like 700W without Afterburner noticing it, then I...

My PSU died today. It was a 850W PSU from Seasonic. I got a 850W one cuz that's what everybody recommended me. But it turned out to be an overkill. I have a i5 9400f which ran at 30W maximum and a RX 6800 XT 16 GB which never got past 220W maximum while I was gaming even demanding open world...

I know it's 2024, but I've been installing my games on a HDD till now. I never cared about longer loading times, but recently I realized that in newer games the in-game textures also load slower. So I bought and installed a 1TB SSD. Now, I got like 10 games on my HDD where I don't wanna lose...

Cool, I think you'll like it then. Also, don't forget to look at some YouTube videos that show you how to configure the settings in the GPU control panel (called Adrenalin) for best performance. For example, if you don't need more than 60fps in your games, just turn on Radeon Chill (it tells...
