Just an update. I have updated to the latest bios (which was just a security update apparently?) Set PCIE to 4.0 (again) Reseated the GPU (again) And now I'm getting 4.0 under load. Weird.... Thanks for the help though :)

I have installed GPUZ today so I'm assuming it must be the latest version, it's not asking me to update anyway. However, it does see the CPU graphics running at PCIE x16 4.0. I would say performance is less than all the benchmarks out there. 70-80 FPS in Cyberpunk maxed out 1440P

Hi all, I have just finished building my rig. Specs: Ryzen 7950x MSI Z670E Carbon WiFi 32 Corsair DDR5 RTX 4090 1200W ATX 3.0 PSU Corsair Elite 150i AIO cooler 2x KC3000 M.2 in first two gen 5.0 slots on MB (non RAID) GPUZ is reporting GPU is only running @ PCIE X16 1.1 - this is even the...

Ok, thats why I came to the experts here. I wont do it, I simply thought it would yield faster read and write speeds thats all.

Sorry, KC3000 Or do I just go with AMD's newer AM5 architecture?

Hi guys, Just a quick question. I have x2 1TB M.2 drives (Kingston KC300) I havent built my system yet. My question is, is it worth putting these drives in RAID 0 on this motherboard: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-mpg-z790-carbon-wifi-lga-1700-ddr5-atx-motherboard-mb-36v-ms.html CPU...

Hi all, thanks for the help so far. I have found the long and short power limits but they are greyed out and Im unable to change, that said they are showing 4096w for both? yes the CPU is still throttling.

Yes, ok good point. Temps are around 40 degrees. I wonder if this: The "f" model does not support overclocking so I cant artificially increase frequency, only rely on Intel Turbo Boot 3.0. so am I right in thinking, because this is a 16 core CPU (8 Performance and 8 Economic cores) that...

Hi all, I have a new PC with a 12900F i9 CPU. I think its bottlenecking the system at the moment as I cant get it to go anywhere near its turbo boost frequency of 5.1Ghz, it lingers around 2.4-3.4Ghz. This chip is new and is watercooled by a 360mm MSI AIO. Any help getting the CPU to run...

Thanks for clearing that up, I have checked all of the above, including a good look through windows power manager and the Lenovo power management suite, can't find anything to suggest under throttling. I will reach 3.1 Ghz as you said, on 4 cores. Would it be usual to see if the CPU did indeed...

Hello TH Community, I am looking for some help to help solve my problem with my Lenovo Y700 17" Laptop. Specs: 6700HQ CPU (stock speeds / settings) 16GB 2100Mhz RAM 1TB 850 pro 256GB Samsung M.2 Boot drive GTX 960M GPU Windows 10 Home 64bit The issue: When running various CPU benchmarks...

additionally if I don't remove the sticks, boot then replace the sticks... the system won't see all 16GB. .. literally it just doesn't see all the ram randomly.. I have noticed sometimes the system doesn't shut down (screens go off but tower remains on) so have to perform power press and hold...

4 sticks ram. I have removed 3 stocks and booted, system sees 4gb. I then replace the 3 sticks, system sees 16GB. .. I have also mixed the sticks up... I'm confident the ram is ok. cpu: i7 5960x ram: Kingston hyper x ddr4 2400mhz Psu: EVGA 1300W it's really odd....
