System experiencing crashes due to a new CPU.
System experiencing crashes due to a new CPU.
I'm testing the prime "blend of all above" and it's still active after two minutes. The fans are spinning rapidly, which is normal. CPU temperature is fluctuating between 85-95°C, which is a bit high. I selected the XMP1 profile, Intel fail safe, and Auto - Let BIOS Optimize. I also considered removing all restrictions or using the failsafe/let bios optimize combo. Additionally, I changed the motherboard from Asus PRIME Z790-V WiFi to Asus PRIME Z790-F without reinstalling Windows. After about five minutes of typing, it's still running. When I take a shower, I check if it's still operational and running. The fan speed changes unpredictably, which isn't ideal. I'm hoping for more stable performance during games, though I won't use full CPU and RAM at once—it's a stress test. The good part is I checked the CPU cooler heatsink; it's around 37°C, indicating heat is being dissipated. I'm hoping for better control.
It does and although I didn't like the viscosity, it's a good performing paste.
The aftermarket GPU coolers were really interesting and I'm disappointed the market faded away even though I get why. I truly wished for a better cooler for my 1660 Ti (MSI Ventus), but there weren't any options available that didn't come with a high price compared to the card itself.
Unfortunately, the warranty update prevents removing the original heatsink or cooler, which likely explains why makers ceased focusing on aftermarket GPU coolers.
You think the pa120 argb would be significantly better than my current one or just slightly? If no real difference I'd just keep on browsing for a more efficient one that suits my needs
I use a PA120 SE with my 12700K and it works well. I keep it powered on stock and temperatures stay below 80 degrees in a case with limited airflow. On extended periods (>10 hours at full load), it remains in the 50s. I suspect the MX-5 paste is the cause (or at least part of it) since I haven't changed to PTM yet. The PS120 would also be a suitable choice (similar performance, possibly better, and more affordable).
It seems odd with the new system I only get 60hz. Nothing physically changed, didn't move a wire.
I ordered a 2.1b ultra high speed cable but got a very basic one instead. Maybe the powerful CPU made the GPU more demanding... I don't know.
Up to date with Windows 10, Whql AMD drivers, everything installed properly. First, I downloaded all the drivers from the website, extracted the zip files, and installed the "unknown device" drivers by selecting the folder including subfolders. Then I used Asus Driver Hub and AMD Whql 25.3.1 with the "driver only" option. The other two options caused issues.
My TV recognizes the computer as a PC and game mode isn't enabled, but again I haven't altered anything on the TV or cabling.
I'll just wait until the quality cable arrives and see how it performs from now on.
new system running at 144hz is functioning properly.

progress is slow and occasional failures occur.
i tested my older CPU after reinstalling and applying "load optimized defaults." I enabled XMP I, Intel fail safe, and Auto - Let BIOS Optimize as before. however, workers still fail.
only when memory performance is checked does everything work fine.
currently, no game will use 32gb ram at 7200mhz soon. i left it as is and will monitor if games exit.
i’m unsure what I might have missed or forgotten to reset back to the previous state.
still need to update all drivers via asus web-solution and install windows updates. but i don’t really hope fixing this system is possible without discovering something in the bios during the last time.
i’ll search for an 'export settings' option once i get it right.
I'm trying to verify if enabling Intel Fail Safe and running a stress test on the memory controller causes it to stop or fail, especially when Prime95 runs too aggressively. I'm also considering whether the power supply might be too weak for the situation.
The PSU seems outdated but hasn't been used much. I'd consider using the Corsair RM750x and testing with my TX850, though it would be inconvenient to replace all cables just for one test.
Performance is solid at 6600 MHz, but I experienced a failure after a long 6800 test. I'm currently on the 6800 model. I don't run highly sensitive tasks that would cause data loss from a sudden BSOD.
I purchased this from Amazon B0DQFYBSD6 and noticed no significant difference between 140 and 120 models, though the 140 has one fan while the 120 has two. The 140 model has larger heatsinks, which is a plus. I'm hoping I won't regret choosing the 120 for its extra lights and unnecessary temperature data, even though it's not visible from my couch.
Well this is quite confusing.
The image is difficult to interpret, but the sink and fan are visible across all RAM slots and aren’t positioned high enough for the usual backward blowing method. I plan to install it facing upwards so the sink stays away from the CPU by about 0.2mm on both shorter sides. It’s uncertain if this will be perfect, but it should work.
I’ll set the temperature to low-mid 80s instead of 97-100°C for the second option in prime95 (maximum heat/power). It will be much quieter. So… it seems fine.
My final memory setting ended up at 6600 with no errors. Probably not noticeable to any game, and the RAM cost difference wasn’t significant.
I’ll post a photo of the final configuration next time.
