Voltages

Hi there, I just tested a PSU and on the 14th -12v line it came back with a reading of -11.68. The rest of the PSU tested correct positive voltages. Is this normal? Thanks in advance, Dustin

Today I noticed that my vcore and vids voltages are pretty high, I'm running everything at auto because my bobo is an a520 and overclock's disabled. The voltages(core vid) are reaching 1.463v on idle, I took a look on the internet and that's normal. Butt things change when CPU is on full load, I...

Hello! This is the first time I ask about anything on a forum, and you get why - I am totally stumped now with my issue. I try to figure out what is the problem. Here are all the details: My specs: MSI Z390 Edge Gaming Intel Core I9 9900 AORUS RTX 2070 CORSAIR 2×8GB Hard Drive 4 TB PHISON SSD...

When I got my Cpu I overclocked to 3,8ghz base speed and didn’t have pbo turned on idk why then I overclocked my r5 3600 to 4ghz manually in ryzen master but heard some guy say it’s better to oc on default cpu settings in bios and to reset oc before changing anything in bios. Put default...

Check out the reddit post i made for this. Thanks! View: https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/kwec9m/is_my_cpu_fit_voltage_right/

I want to find the max voltage I can put on my cpu because I am trying to overclock and don’t want to make it too high. my cpu is the 3600xt and the gpu is a 1070ti 550w psu 16gb 2400mhz ram

Hi there, I'm using XMP for my RAM modules, running at a stable 3600Mhz. Verified it through prime95 and memtest86. After doing some reading on the AMD processor, to get to that RAM speed I had to set the infinity fabric to 1800Mhz running on 1:1 ratio. My CPU Vcore is at 1.275V. My primary...

Hi, I ve noticed strange behavior on my ryzen 5 3600. Spec: Gigabyte B450 Aorus elite (with dyncamic vcore offset -0.126, xmp profile) Ryzen 5 3600 Cooler: Fortis 3 HE1425 MSI Radeon RX 5700 GAMING X G.Skill RipjawsV 16GB DDR4-3200MHz 2x8gb Look on my HWiNFO 64 under load (OCCT, small...

Hello, I have overclock my CPU (i5-8600k) using this as my guide: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ15NW1qaxs&t=1756s MOB: Asus Prime Z370-A I overclock using bios and the recommended voltages for 5gz was around 1.290-1.340. I tryed 5ghz on automatic voltages but that where way to...

Hey guys, I recently finished a new build, with a ryzen 7 3700X, and I feel like im having some issues. I could hear my fans ramping up and down over and over, so I went and played with the fan curve a bit, no luck. Upon looking more and verifying through hardward monitor, it seems like...

Okay so I love the extra performance gain when OC, but I have noticed that when I Overclock my Ryzen 1500x the voltages for Pstate 2 and 3 breaks. Normal voltages without PBO and OC 1550mhz=0.88v=20w 3000mhz=0.98v=31w 3500mhz=1.15v=46w Voltages when OCing 1550mhz=1.35=32w 3000mhz=1.35=47w...

Specs: I7 - 9700k (overclocked to 4GHz) Corsair H100i ASUS Maximus VI Hero z-390 Motherboard Question: I am running my processor at 4 GHz, with a core voltage of 1.092. During a Prime95 stress test(ran for 1 hour), my temperatures get up to about 78c during the 100% load. I just wanted to know...

That's a statement, not a question so be mindful of that folks. I more so wanted to open a dialogue about voltages you push through your CPU's to hit certain frequencies. For some reason many people think that a majority of OC'ers can hit the golden 5.0ghz at 1.35vs or less. It is my opinion...

Since I built my new PC I've been having random hangs and crashes and I've been troubleshooting just about everything. While checking the psu voltages in my BIOS, I noticed that my 12v stays the same for minutes on end, the 5v stays the same, and the 3.3v goes from 3.312v to 3.328v every 15 to...

Hello and thank you for coming across this thread. I've been trying to get into memory overclocking a lot more and been watching a lot of Buildzoid's (Accutaly Hardcore Overclocking) videos and he continues to make references to different types of die. Now I know what that means, but what I do...

Hi, everyone! First of all, I live in Brazil, and we're in the middle of a freaking hot summer right now. Well, I recently built a new PC, after 6 years, and I'm wondering if these GPU, CPU and motherboard temperatures are OK for my setup. My VCore is set to 1.14v, and the rest of the voltages...

Hi, I am currently using EVGA 770 SC ACX, 2GB GPU. Now, I'm planning to upgrade. I was planning to get the EVGA 1080 SC (08G-P4-6183) but I couldnt find where I can get. I now have these option: EVGA GTX 1070 Ti SC GAMING (08G-P4-5671-KR)...

Is the difference between a 8700 enough to justify buying it?

I want to upgrade my computer and to be honest I know almost nothing about PC parts and how they work together. I am buying these and want to know if they will work together. CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 Motherboard: GIGABYTE H370 HD3 (LGA1151/Intel/USB 3.1 Gen 2 (USB3.1) Type...

I have had enough with Windows 10, so please do not tell me it is better, etc. I want to install Windows 7 on my GPD Win but I run into the issue where when i select the drive to install it to, selecting the built in emmc gives me the error. It says I needs a driver for the device Intel SD Host...

I've been having major problems, and I created some threads on here, but nothing worked to I eventually used dban to wipe my computer. Aftrer that, I downloaded windows 10 to 3 usbs, and on all of them I got an error that A file was missing. So I downloaded the windows 10 ISO and used rufus to...

I have the 280 watt ''fsp280-40epa'' PSU. i5-4460 8g ram 1T hard drive r7 240 (uses 75W) Will this setup work with the rx 460 (no 6pin) that also uses 75W? It says that it need a 400watt PSU, is that true? Or will my computer be able to run it?

Hi! I would like to know at best, what GPU could a Pentium 4 (3.2GHz) could handle before mild bottlenecking? Thanks!

So I got a new Steelseries Siberia V2 orange this Christmas and about a month ago the right side dropped out, after a while I figured out that flicking my finger against the mute/sound box halfways the cable would fix the problem for some time. If the box touches my arm or something again I can...

Hi, so, my on-baord speaker port has broken down (only one channel can be heard; wiggling the jack around helps but only so long as it's being pushed in by hand). I suppose this is not that unusual -- 3.5mm jack ports have always been finicky, especially on cheaper HW. Now, I'm hardly an...

hi all i wanted to know if my power supply is preventing my asus gtx 560 graphics card from being detected.the fans go on but it doesn't work my psu is LPG6 500w(not sure of the name probably shizzle quality)well on the psu there is two 12v numbers one is 16.5A adn the other is 20A now im new...

Hi there. I'm pretty paranoid and always worry about things. I recently took out my gpu from my computer and found it was very stiff and took a bit of effort. There was a slight sound(the only way I can describe it is as cracking/popping sound) which could be the card the slot or just the...

What's the best case for around this price point? My Mobo is ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 I don't really care what it looks like, cable management, airflow, noise, build quality and drive bays are more important in that order. I'd rather spend less but if one at the top or slightly above that range...
