Got a Q-code 61 yesterday on my C8H. Machine will not boot, and there is no output/activity on my monitor.

Tried reseating RAM and different configurations, reseating GPU, and clearing the CMOS. None of that worked.

Will try some other stuff tonight.

[CurrentlyPissed]

Did the new bios, no change. Well. I get to about 4316 mhz vs 4296 (all cores). But realistically, still not 4.4, and no change.

[Napoleonic]

You are not supposed to get all core clocks to the advertised boost speed as it's only for single core nevertheless reviewers noted that with the Abba agesa you could get 2 cores 4 threads to boost at the advertised speed now.

[howard stern]

Installed the new abba bios last night on my board, its very stable, some benchmarks show improvement some are flat.

I love the fact AMD is adding performance while the vulnerability patches for Intel are slowing their cpu's down. I have never been more convinced I made the correct choice going back to AMD.

the 3080 ti strix is going to be 1400+

Probably will mean the 3080 Ti gets held until that time.

dream on that NV would wait for AMD and maybe have to lower prices

18 months from 1080 ti to 2080 ti

18 months more to March to April 16 2020 as cyberpunk 2077 hits April 16
I bet they won't pass up 2077 & ray tracing selling lots of very high priced cards
this thing looks like that with RT it will be Crysis 1 on steroids and need a 3080 ti at 4k to get 40 to 45 FPS


wish I didn't pre order as it is sure to come with a new 3080 ti

So cancel the preorder :D

Game doesn't come out for like 8 months. Not like you won't still have a chance if things don't work out.

pre order is just over 3 month on steam
and I paid with a steam credit


i'll wait and get a credit to my steam wallet if it looks to be going with a 3080 ti and not bought up by as a epic exclusive in a last minute deal
and I know they said they would not but...…. money talks

[DeathKnight]

Cyberpunk Epic exclusive? lol

Have we forgotten that CD Projekt owns GOG?

don't trust any of them any more after metro exodus

and don't care for GOG ether

Why not, keep selling their overpriced 2080 Ti until they cant anymore. They can thank AMD for extending its life.

diminishing returns
most that will buy a 2080 ti have by now .


and they have been on a 18 month cycle for a few years now with a few blips a little longer when a node failed

then I don't think anyone will be able to turn on all RT settings on 2077 at 4k and most likely 1440p

and most will not want to wait to play it at 4k/1440p max settings with full RT

and I don't think it will have Crossfire and SLI

and how many will buy a 2080 ti for it if it tanks it in reviews

[Napoleonic]

So I plunged in and bought a 3900X, hope it would fare better and last as long as this 5930K (with a somewhat cursed Asus x99 deluxe motherboard that somehow killed another 5930K and 4 sticks of RAM over the years).

I'd be using gigabyte Aorus master this time, because gigabyte has the best hardware and bios support this time around.

[ugly]

I've had a frustrating month.

Labour Day weekend my computer stopped working. It would start, then just before it was supposed to start booting an OS, it would power off, then restart, and keep failing. Sometimes I could get to the BIOS, sometimes I wouldn't even get video.

Tried multiple PSUs, tried with my video card, tried with only the onboard video (my processor is a i5-6600k). Bought a cheapo stick of RAM to test. Same result.

Figured it's probably the motherboard.

Same day (Sunday morning) I bought a similar used motherboard for $50, shipping Newfoundland (I'm in Ontario). Dude waits until the Friday, almost a full week, before sending it. And he waited just long enough for the mail to get delayed because the east coast got hit by Dorian. I didn't get the motherboard until today (18 days later).

And it doesn't work. Same problem. Probably means the CPU is what's dead. I've been using a passively cooled Zotac ZBOX for almost a month now.

So **** it, I bought a Ryzen 5 3600 with a MSI B450 Tomahawk. Hopefully Amazon gets it to me by Friday.

Yeas those wanting that 7nm stuff might want to grab it now as they are selling out and TSMC has pushed back orders 3 fold to 6 months as they cant satisfy demand.

https://www.fudzilla.com/news/49415-...chip-shortages

The dark satanic rumour mill has manufactured a hell on earth yarn that there could be supply problems with AMD’s 7nm processors and graphics cards.

DigiTimes is warning that there could be problems with the future supply levels of with potential manufacturing delays on the horizon with TSMC.

TSMC clients have been fighting over 7nm production capacity and TSMC is set to struggle with demand.

DigiTimes unnamed industry sources have revealed that TSMC has significantly extended the production lead time on 7nm from two months to six months. This tripling of the lead time is a cause for concern.

There are some problems with the rumour AMD is a big client of TSMC, and so doubtless has secured contracts to ensure that its nearer-term supply.

The issue might be more in the future unless TSMC does not set aside more budget for expanding 7nm manufacturing capacity.

[Napoleonic]

I think I got an utter shitty 3900x, cant even hit 4.6 GHz on any cores in single thread workload even with Abba agesa bios.

Also the temp is high when running cinebench r20, like 80 celcius high.

Now you know why I have not preordered the game.

You try and remount your cooler? Had issues on an older system where the retention mechanism on one was corner was ever so loose and caused high temps and low performance.

What cooler are you using by the way?

Corsair H115i Platinum, yes I'll try remount ing the cooler, but I also live in a hot tropical area, anyway it's not like I'll be grinding this cpu at 100% load 24/7 and we know the performance doesn't differ much, so I'd just move on with it.

[Nagorak]

Zen 2 tends to run pretty hot. I think a lot of it is simply due to the smaller process. There's a lot of heat concentrated in a smaller area. You'll probably see a bit higher temps than you were used to for that reason. It's not necessarily a heatsink problem, but just the transfer of heat out of the die.

well that's the strange thing, I can set the fans from Icue but not the pump, somehow it's greyed out

[pax]

Can you read your pump speed?

[Napoleonic]

I could and I just solved that, the icue software is pretty ridiculous and not so intuitive... Anyway it seem that no matter what I do the full load temp doesn't bulge much, so I'd just accept this and move on. I did see hwinfo recorded one of my cores peak clockspeed exceeded 4.6ghz but only under cool room temperature.

What I haven't tried is to actually set the voltage manually, I did try negative voltage offset and it helped the temp, but if I offset it too much below it would lower cinebench scores.

[Jay20016]

May want to be careful with other programs and your corsair one. I had an issue running HW info with it in the background that stopped the fan curve from applying and after 45 minutes of gaming my FPS would get sluggish and choppy and I'd see a temp of 100c on the chip. Instantly shut it down, checked all fans, etc. couldn't find anything wrong. Happened again a couple of days later when trying to troubleshoot something else. Did some Google Fu and couldn't find anything until I caught a line of some dudes signature on another forum. Sure enough, stress test with both software open and the fans wouldn't budge from their low RPM setting. Have zero problems individually, but together something is up. Was aware of the warning at ryzen 3 launch, but didn't expect that sort of issue, worse I figured would be incorrect reporting, not nearly frying the chip.

This is with my 100iv2 and the corsair link software, not sure about the iCue one though.

I mean I haven't even used this new pc for gaming yet and I already seen the icue behaving utter crap, constantly ringing bells and randomly changing fan speed I just set the app to not launch at start and for now I settled for -0.05v voltage offset for the cpu, turn the temp down couple of degrees without lowering the performance much.

A Reddit user charted just how much AMD is beating Intel right now

AMD is doing great in the DYI market but they need those huge oem sales...
