    Question Does Asus OC AMD CPUs out of the box in the BIOS ?

    I checked BIOS and manually disabled PBO2, it was on Auto. I ran CPU-Z benchmark and spitted out 828 single core and 8760 multicore result which is a bit higher then normal so i guess Asus board is doing some tweaking in the background by default. I ran 3 tests average and all gave me over 800...

    Question Does Asus OC AMD CPUs out of the box in the BIOS ?

    Hi folks, I built a system a couple weeks ago using a Ryzen 9800X3D on an Asus Strix x870E-E motherboard. Coming from a Ryzen 3900X its a HUGE improvement in FPS even when playing at 4K with a 7900 XTX GPU. I saw some videos (gamersnexus & hardwareunboxed) to be exact about how asus loves to...

    Question How much performance loss will there be running a 7900 XTX at PCIe 5.0 x8 ?

    I am thinking of buying an ASRock X870E Taichi motherboard but i would have to use the other PCIe slot for another expansion card which would mean running my GPU to at x8. I am wondering if this going to mean a significant performance loss for my GPU, if any? The ASRock X870E Taichi Lite is...

    Question Asrock x870 Taichi pcie question

    I want to buy this mobo with 9800X3D but if i use my 7900 XTX in primary pcie slot and a 4 port SATA expansion card x1 or x4 will my gpu run in x8 mode or x16? I am under assumption it will run at x8. And what about MSI MPG X870E carbon wifi? It has 3 PCIE slots while the third slot is powered...

    [SOLVED] What's best for checking 3900x stability?

    Is Prime95 still reliable for stress testing? I ran a blend test on all cores and left, came back after an hour and saw temps are only 58C with CPU drawing only 38W power in Ryzen Master. That surely can't be right? But CPU cores are all maxed out. Am i wasting time in prime95? I was thinking of...
