calusari posted:I posted earlier about undervolting. I got good reduction of temps under load. However, my computer is occasionally rebooting when left idle. I can game or watch youtube videos for hours with no issue. Is there anything I can tweak to prevent this from happening? Disabling c-states? Make your undervolt less aggressive because what you are experiencing is an unstable undervolt. You can't stress test them like a normal overclock as the instability more often shows in cycling between idle and in-use. If you do want to test it, you can try using this over the course of a few nights: https://github.com/sp00n/corecycler

priznat posted:What’s the temperature tracker du jour? I was thinking about getting one of those CPU retention blocks GN featured for my 12700k but not sure it’s worth the hassle. I think Argus Monitor is the usual recommendation if you want to tie temps to fan speeds. Probably overkill for just temp monitoring, though.

FunOne posted:I know this is grand heresy in the Intel thread, but those new AMD CPUs look pretty good to me. And it appears my intel option comes with efficiency cores and lacks the ultra-wide AVX instructions to boot? Since Ryzen 2 (the 3<xxx> series), AMD has been a very viable alternative for just about any kind of purpose. Intel recently took back the performance crown, but if power efficiency is at all a priority for you, Ryzen CPUs are a more appropriate choice.

mdxi posted:FTFY. Not to be pendantic, but because the Zen (core name) / Ryzen (CPU product name) thing has gotten increasingly confusing as time has gone on. Especially now that they aren't guaranteed to move upward in lockstep in the mobile and embedded product lines. Not my best morning because I have been making these kinds of typos/mis-naming multiple times today. And, yeah, it is confusing.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:That's why I'm going AMD when I eventually get enough money saved up - I absolutely do not want to have a pump creating more noise than any even half-good fan, let alone a case full of Noctuas. TBF, it is nearly trivial now to set power limits in the BIOS for both Intel and AMD chips. Of course, you would also need to test performance to see where you want to fall on the power consumption vs performance curve, which takes a not-insignificant amount of time.

silence_kit posted:In the case of other international suppliers, what is the big deal? Is this just the US gov’t contingency planning for the case where they are at war with the rest of the world? Yes. The US government already mistrusts electronics produced overseas because of security concerns (backdoors or other foreign government strategies to compromise devices). For anything that is security critical, they likely only use US-sourced electronics and employ only US natural citizens to minimize the risk of foreign interference.

icantfindaname posted:I haven't been paying attention, Intel entered the consumer desktop GPU market to compete with AMD and Nvidia? Why? That seems like a gigantic investment for a limited market. Are they really betting on GPUs for buttcoin mining and AI stuff being a massive growth market? They are trying to get into the server compute market and the desktop gpu's are a bit of a side hustle that could earn money, if executed well. Same/similar silicon, different software stack.

Speaking of liquid cooling... In the next couple weeks I should have my first custom loop completed. SFF case (15L, iirc) but with external rad, pump, and reservoir. Will eventually feature quick disconnects for every cable and tube the external cooling system uses but that will require some pci bracket customization as well as a custom bracket for the display outputs (Meshlicious case with vertical gpu). It is inspired by my gf wanting me to bring a smaller pc (haha jokes on her!) to Quakecon and this build a friend showed me:

Paul MaudDib posted:What's the trivial solution to the best headsets not having wireless? Don't use wireless. But I still want to move around my playspace? OK just carry the PC then. I realize this is mostly a joke post, but there are a bunch of alternatives to making wired headphones wireless, nowadays. The EarStudio is one example, but there are several competitors. And there is also the good ol' ModMic if you want a wireless mic.

Yeah, I had one or two classes that covered the very, very, very basics of this kind of stuff and it made me lean towards the side of "computers are magic". Like, I get kinda how they work, but the fact that they work at all is astounding to me.

The Z790 Sonic motherboard from Asrock is pretty cool. Helped my gf with her new build based around it: Only two complaints, so far. 1) You have to pick and choose whether you want to attach a pcie4 m.2 to the cpu or a pcie5 m.2 that will cut the pcie5 lanes in the gpu slot from 16x to 8x. You can't use both, either, as there just isn't the physical room. At least it comes with three other pcei4 m.2 slots, for a total of four usable m.2 slots. 2) It does not appear to come with any wifi or bluetooth. Bought a cheap Intel AX200 m.2 since it has bluetooth 5.2 and ran the wires to the rear i/o panel shield, instead. Took some time, but was pretty easy to do. Still want to change out all the fans for the white SL-Infinity stuff, paint that ssd heatsink under the gpu to a more appropriate color, and also paint the front mesh cover to Sonic blue.

kliras posted:you'll want your loop to go above the pump btw like so: https://www.arctic.de/en/faq/detail/how-not-to-mount-your-water-cooling-aio-by-gamersnexus, so might wanna flip the front so the loop goes to the top instead of the bottom This should be the correct orientation, even based on that same video. Tubes are all below the pump and the top of the rad is above the pump, too. The air will accumulate at the top of the radiator since it is the highest point in the loop. It will sit there and not interfere with the fluid circulating throughout the rest of the loop. If I was to flip it, air would start circulating through the tubes, since they would be at the top of the loop. So far, the pump has been silent when playing games. No bubbling sounds and temps seem to be in control. e: the video actually points out having tubes at the top as the wrong way to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbGomv195sk&t=1083s Kibner fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Sep 11, 2023 |

Klyith posted:This is universal on all Z790 boards with a gen 5 m.2 slot, because the CPU only has 16 gen 5 lanes. Yeah, wasn’t too worried about it, it just caught me off guard that it was a potential issue.
