Looks like choosing a good RTX 2060 is not that easy as I imagined. I spent some time trying to see which is a good option and found several issues:
- MSI Ventus - has some annoying sound issues, as mentioned here also
- Gigabyte RTX 2060 Windforce OC - a lot of people having fan rattling and...
Thanks guys for the comments!
I will need to see does the market here in the europe / nordics react as much as it does in the states. Currently the lowest prices here are:
349€ ($395) Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Ti WINDFORCE OC
349€ ($395) ASUS ROG Strix RX Vega 56 OC Gaming 8GB
383€ ($434)...
Cool I completely missed that there is a 1660ti coming out. Will definitely check how it's going to be priced and how it compares to the RTX 2060 performance and money-wise.
Sorry had a typo there, my machine is a 2600K which is overclocked to 4.2GHz. Yes got an RTX 2070 from a friend but have...
I was going to upgrade my i7 2600K home PC with a Ryzen build but decided to wait for the next generation CPU's to be released. After a long pause, I got back into gaming and have been playing Battlefield V and also got an coupon for the upcoming Division2 which I also look forward to.

I'm new to the Ryzen world and did not even know that Ryzen Master had a test :)
My Powers Package (according to HWMonitor) shows:
With Prime95: 110 - 140 W (Max temp 73c)
With Ryzen Master test: ~105 W (Max temp 60c)
Thanks DrMrLordX!
I bought Arctic Cooling MX-4 paste, isopropyl to clean the CPU and already reinstalled the cooler.
Now the temperatures are:
Bios 44c
HWMonitor idle low 35c (for some reason it still keeps pumping between 35-45c)
HWMonitor load high 73c
Not sure if I 100% nailed applying the...
Yeah I think so too. I'll go and buy some better thermal paste and reinstall the cooler tomorrow. I've never had to redo it before so at least I need to learn how to clean the old paste and maybe check some tutorial on what's the best way to apply the paste.
From those attached HWinfo screens I can see that all the fans do spin faster when the CPU is under load (CPU fan 750rpm -> 1250rpm).
The fans are connected to the X-470F and I haven't changed the settings for fans yet.
I can try to change the settings, but even with those RPM's it seems very...
I finally got my Ryzen 2700X rig built but I'm worried about the temperatures that seem very high!
In bios the CPU temp seems to variate all the time between 44-52c. HWMonitor shows idle temperature around ~40c but when I tried Prime95 it reached 80c!
I got a rather big Thermalright Macho...
As the 64GB is starting to sound more and more like a bad idea, I'll try to ask around in Asus forum what 32GB kit people have used with the X470-F and what speeds they run.
I assume that it would be safer to use 2 x 16GB modules rather than 4 x 8GB?
I had no idea choosing memory would still...
Yeah I have the rest of the system built here and noticed that the fan of Thermalright Macho Rev.B will block the first slot just barely and but the edge of the fan housing could be cut just a bit to use all the four slots.
If I go with the 2x16GB, they will fit easily as the nearest slot to...
Thanks!
I spent few hours checking availability of every shop out here. All the decently priced 64GB kit's have over two week availability, these 32GB kit's were available the best:
G.Skill Ripjaws V K2 DDR4-3200 CL16 - (2 x 16GB) 254,40 € (AVAILABLE NOW)
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 C16 BK...
Thanks for the advice! What 32GB kit would you pick at this point? I'm getting really confused which brand uses better chips and what would work the best with the Ryzen and this specific mobo.
Yeah the availability seems to be really terrible at the moment. I think I might end up going with 2x16gb (32GB kit). Funnily enough I saw a returned 2x16gb corsair lpx 3000mhz kit for half price at the local shop but did not buy it as my 64gb kit was supposed to come the next day...
Okay this might be all my stupidity, but I did not realize that I had to switch from "Balanced" to "High performance" power plan, even when I had the "Turn off the hard disks after.." enabled on the Balanced mode!
Now with the High Performance enabled (with the exact same settings as in...
I need a lot of memory for my work and ordered a Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 CL16 QC 64GB kit, but the delivery date here in my country has been delayed for almost four weeks now..
What memory would you recommend instead if I'm unable to get this kit? My initial plan was to buy a 3200mhz...
Thanks for the reply! I did a clean install from usb-stick straight to W10 64x.
I checked that all the drives are in AHCI mode in bios. I guess I could give that HDPARAM tool a try.
I would prefer to keep them in the computer and get this to work. Otherwise it's just too much effort.
That's where I changed the option. As this is a desktop, I don't have those on battery / plugged in options.
There should be nothing. It's three days old win10 install and I just added the drives which have no apps or similar. I disabled indexing from windows also.
I use an SSD for Windows and apps but still have to use a traditional hard-drive for storage. 75% of the time I do not need to access that drive and I would love that it would start only when I access it from file explorer as my computer would be dead silent when they are off.
I turned on "Turn...
So I tried connecting the 840 Pro to the same Sata controller as the 840 Evo and it fixed the speeds!
However now my third Vertex SSD is running slow when connected to the marvel connector.
Is this normal that the Marvel connector is so slow compared to the Intel one? Or might this be a driver...
I have a 250gb Samsung 840 EVO as my system drive. Today I added a new 840 PRO as a second drive.
After running a benchmark with the Samsung magician app, I noticed that the PRO is not performing as well as the EVO. I was under the impression that PRO would be a faster drive?
Both drives are...
Thanks for the help and trim enabling instructions! I'll grab a Samsung 840 Pro.
It's a bit hard to order G.skill to Finland, similar options from Corsair / Kingston:
Corsair 8 GB Kit (2 x 4 GB) 1333 MHz DDR3 SO-DIMM CL9 204-pin 9-9-9-24, 1.5V Unbuffered [65eur]
Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3...
I was thinkin about resurrecting my 15" Macbook Pro by installing an SSD and new memory (only has 4gb).
What's the hottest/reliable SSD that I should get, I was thinking Samsung 840 Pro (will it support it /trim etc?).
What about memory? Any recommendations?
Thanks!
I cant believe this, the problem actually got resolved.
As I moved the router physically it got powered down and for some reason the d-links "gamefuel" feature was enabled in this process (some kind of traffic reshaping). I disabled it and rebooted and all the download and upload speeds went up...
Thanks. I think I'll pick up one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833316211
more expensive but I can pick one up at the store next door, hope that will not be as bad choice as the zyxel was :)
My router is connected to the green port and pc to one of the yellow. But yeah, might be that this switch will be introduced to my trash can and I'll pick up something better.
I would prefer a gigabit switch of course, any suggestions in 20-100eur price range for a gigabit switch with no fan...
After I added a gigabit switch (ZyXEL GS-105S) between my PC and my Router (D-Link Gigabit) I have been experiencing slow to none internet connection when I have a torrent download open for example.
All remote connection windows disconnect, spotify stops playing and internet browser cannot...
The same thing crossed my mind, I just didn't have any bad enough fan to destroy. :)
Thanks for the advice! Seems to work now but have to keep my eye out..
Thanks for the help.
The grill was actually what caused the sound issue. When you put a certain kind of fan on top of a grill with small holes, the air makes funny sounds when the blade moves so close to the holes.
I moved the fan a bit further away from the grille by making ~4cm "foam frame"...
So I finally got my new i7 system ready in a Coolermaster Silencio 550 case (which is great!). Picture: http://inc.kuvat.fi/kuvat/i7silencio/silencio01.jpg
I soon noticed that the original 120mm fans on the case make a annoying clicking sound. This was also mentioned in some reviews of the...
I also mentioned I use Premiere and the New Mercury engine uses GPU HW-acceleration.
Photoshop CS5 also uses GPU HW on certain features.
Adobe only supports full HW-acceleration on the listed cards.
I'm building a new i7 system to work with photoshop and (pretty light) premiere use. My original thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2190820
Adobe supports hardware acceleration with these cards: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
I would very much like...
Ok thanks for the info, I did not know that. The G.skill ripjaws are actually more expensive here (finland) than the kingston I was going for. Not a problem, just a note :)
Corsair and G.Skill are exactly the same price here, you guys recommend G.Skill?
Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600MHz PC3-12800...
Thanks for the comments guys.
Sorry for the dumb question, but why is the memory voltage important?
The Kingston memory I mentioned states voltage: 1.65 V
Thanks for the answer alkemyst!
Very valid points.
I mainly work with Photoshop, working with big PSD website and interface design files and editing RAW photos. On the worst days I have to have lot of programs and files open the same time, and with 8gb of memory the photoshop scratch file can...
I'm upgrading my home system and after that building a new system to our office (possibly identical if my new home system proves to perform). Usage is heavy CS5 photoshopping, illustrator, lightroom and some Premiere too.
After days of various google research, I'm still struggling to find right...
I already have one fanmate controller left over from some old zalman, but the problem is that it's only 3-PIN, as the 9500AT connector is 4-PIN.. I dont know is the new controller (which you pasted) a 4-PIN, or wont the fan controllers work at all with the 9500AT.
Hello guys, I'm new here and I'll shoot away immediatelly with my question:
I finally updated my bios when installed 64bit Vista business, and I have a problem.
With the new 1707 bios my CPU fan (zalman 9500) is now in full RPM all the time, with the older bios version it operated silent...
