Question I think my MB is bad. If so, what do you think would be a good replacement.

@Shmee i've seen two 4790k dead now actually, and in the same board no less lmao. One had 4 pin pads that were varying amounts of totally gone from half pad to completely removed. I'd offer him the board since it's still good but IDK if it has a ghost in it or what lmao

Question Help tuning 3600mhz DDR4 in Gigabyte X570 boards, I've all but given up getting it to work as rated

Okay somehow it just magically works now on auto with the XMP profile. The only things i did were apply the CAD bus strength and change my RttNom value, and I changed command rate to 2T, and now it works with XMP and everything on auto. I'm pretty sure ultimately the only thing I changed was the...

Question Help tuning 3600mhz DDR4 in Gigabyte X570 boards, I've all but given up getting it to work as rated

So long story short, I rebuilt my PC back over the holidays (3800x, AORUS x570 Elite rev1, 3600mhz G.Skill Trident Z Neo CJR dies) and I didn't pay a lot of attention to the memory timings till more recently when I noticed it wasn't running the XMP profile at all and was at 2133mhz in windows. I...

Question Anyone have a list of what 5700XT models use reference PCB? Need a card that will take a waterblock

I ordered a Corsair XG7 only to discover that my ASRock challenger isn't reference design. Now I'm looking for a card that is reference to replace it but have no idea how to identify a reference PCB from item listings other than looking for an 8+6pin design. I had my eyes on the Gigabyte AORUS...

Can't figure out what e-mail I used for BOINC in the past, any way someone can help me find this info?

You raised an interesting idea, Im going to try and find an old gen iphone charger and plug in my old phone from then that I still have, see if an old email that's still logged I may have forgotten pops up. I doubt it though, super long shot and IDK where my old charger cables even are anymore

Yea I've gone over it in my head all night while playing Witcher 3. I'm 100% positive I used the same e-mail as on most forums back then and i've gone through the 3 primaries I had which I've been using since 2004-6 when I created them. The original creation emails are all there from google and...

Can't figure out what e-mail I used for BOINC in the past, any way someone can help me find this info?

I spent 2 hours doing this trying to figure out possible alternative emails i might have used, all coming up empty. I exhausted my entire social engineering playbook trying to think of ways i might source the correct e-mail from my own history logs but sadly I seem to have either forgotten a...

I'm trying to recover my BOINC account for when the folding@home project for covid-19 is completed and taken down, as I still stand as our forum's #6 all time contributor to milkyway@home and I'd like to potentially bump that up again, but I can't for the life of me remember what e-mail I seem...

Help! my 4790k wont run at rated speed

nevermind my last post, i found it, the trigger switch is what its called, it locks in the CPU at a low stable frequency so you can boot with an insane massive OC into OS stable to run that one benchmark, take a screenshot, and reboot (according to the manual), and it was set to the "safe"...

Help! my 4790k wont run at rated speed

I'm looking at the manual now to see which switch this is but I tried looking for that last night before I passed out as well to no avail (probably right before i got frustrated and lay down). Could you point me to which switch you're talking about in case I come back fruitless again? I was...

Help! my 4790k wont run at rated speed

I went through, checked with my DMM to make sure the board was getting the right voltages from the PSU, manually removed the bios battery instead of using the button, tried the backup bios, and still nothing. even manually hard locking it to 40 multiplier in bios wont get it to un-throttle. I'm...

Help! my 4790k wont run at rated speed

Literally all I did before this happened was turn it off and install another radiator into my water cooling loop, the system has been running fine for a month now with stock settings at 4GHz, I haven't got around to overclocking the CPU yet because I'm having issues with getting enough air...
