If ECO Mode only sets those 3 variables and we know their values, setting them even without having the ECO preset should be just as stable as stock. When you want to run something headless in a corner for months without having to troubleshoot why it keeps hanging, having it on a 45W (or even...
I'm guessing that lowering the max temperature will cause it to end (or at least tone down) its boost windows sooner.
The wattage limit will mean all/most-core workloads will run at lower frequencies, while single/light-threaded workloads will boost about the same.
@Gideon As far as I understand, the difference between ECO / PPT-TDC-EDC on one side and Curve Optimizer on the other, is that the former is supposed to be validated by AMD, but the latter falls to the customer to verify stability, doesn't it?
@Gideon thank you for the info. Those are indeed for the higher TDP SKUs. My question was for the non-X parts that are already spec-ed at 65W, can you get them lower?
Does anyone have a non-X AM5 CPU that can look in the bios to see if ECO mode setting is available, and if it is does it do anything?
Any ECO Mode info I found was for CPUs ending in X.
On AM4 APUs, you could ECO Mode them from 65W down to 45W, which was useful for a system that you intended to...
@Markfw Don't use the chipset drivers from Asus' website. Get them directly from AMD.
And keep an eye on bios release notes. I remember on AM4 the fix was through newer bioses and it was specifically mentioned in the release notes. To be honest, even if they don't list it in the changelog I...
So I have an Athlon 300GE on an Asrock B450 Pro4 running as a home server. Everything works fine except one feature: it does not power on after a power outage, despite setting the bios option for it.
I'm thinking maybe it's a bug in the old bios it is running, so I'm looking at updating it.
The...
Thank you for your replies.
I am going to stick to 65W parts because this is an old board and it was cheap at the time, so I don't want to put too much load on those modest VRMs. If I can put a Zen3 in there, then I'll get a 5600X or 5700X. If not, I'll get a 3700X.
But the reason why I want...
I have an 1800X on Asrock AB350 Pro4 and I'd like to upgrade the CPU to the newest generation the motherboard can take.
On the Asrock "CPU support list" page for this motherboard, there are only 1000, 2000 and 3000 series CPUs listed.
However, looking at the BIOS descriptions on the downloads...
Wow that's a beefy card for sure!
2.5X improvement in ray tracing? Hmm...
But does it run Solitaire with reflections off of glossy cards?
Seriously now, how does it perform in the games you play?
I voted for 6800XT also as most people before me.
Firstly, I upgraded to a 6750XT a few weeks before and am quite pleased with the doubling+ of performance compared to my old RX580 4GB. I don't game in 4K like you but if I did, I would have gotten the 6800XT. The 6750XT is simply not a 4K card...
That is good to know. Thanks!
I wonder if this is only for the Dell-branded cards or is it availble in the vanilla LSI firmware too. Or the HP, Fujitsu, etc flavors.
Reporting back: I've ended up setting ECO mode because summer is here and the room is already at 25C and now the fan is very livable with.
But I have a couple of questions:
1. What does "Performance Enhancer" do? (see pic below) It was on Auto and I've set it to Default, suspecting Asus may try...
System config:
Mobo: Asus Prime X570-P
Bios version: 4202
RAM: GSkill F4-3600C17D-32GTZKW
CPU: R9 5900X
As you can see in the first pic below, I have set the XMP profile (or D.O.C.P. as it's called on AMD) but the CAS latency is not 17 as it should be, but 18 (see second pic)
What could have...
Reporting back after upgrade:
The temps are not that bad around 80C in Handbrake in a 24C room.
The only warning I see is about that 89C high on CCD1. Do you guys think that's a problem?
I've cleaned the existing paste and applied fresh Arctic MX-5 (that's what I had available on-hand). Can't...
So this cooler being a Noctua with 6 heatpipes will be able to dissipate enough for a 5900X kept at stock settings, but to do so it will need to ramp up the fan, which may or may not be quiet enough for my ears. Is this the correct conclusion?
Subjectively speaking, would you run it with this...
Anyone with an R9 5900X and a single-fan Noctua cooler that can share his/her experience regarding temps and noise?
This cooler is not a typical vertical one but the fin stack and fan are parallel to the motherboard. It's handling a 3700X very well currently but I'd like to upgrade to a 5900X...
The difference in IPC is not that small. You can think of the two as more or less equivalent in multithreaded performance, which is very telling.
I would get a decent X570 board and the 5600X. (I've built 10+ systems at work using the Asus Prime X570-P as well as my personal gaming machine) You...
I've done a clean reinstall of Windows 10 on a Haswell-generation computer and the motherboard manufacturer's support page provides a chipset driver from 2014.
Now I'm wondering if it's a good idea to install such an old driver or does Windows (version 2004) install a newer driver automatically?
Honestly it doesn't make much sense to invest money in a socket 1155 based system. If you don't feel like buying new memory, look for a socket 1150 motherboard and i5 or i7 Haswell CPU. And even then, don't spend more than 120 Eur for the bundle. Consider that a Ryzen 3 3100 is below 100 Eur...
There's one aspect that nobody seems to take into account: by now that 7nm process is yielding better, so there are fewer partially defective dies. Why would they disable two cores and sell a good die for $150 in an R5 3600 when they can put it in an R7 3700X and sell it for $300, or put the few...
Nope, 500-series is what's going to run Ryzen 4000 best. That's X570 (enthusiast) and B550 (mainstream). B550 was just released recently but X570 has more features (PCI-E 4.0 everywhere, more SATA ports, etc.) and is more expensive and uses more power.
I doubt there will be any other chipsets...
@Markfw How tight have you screwed the mobo to the case? If it's been running for a year non-stop then it's gone through a summer-winter-summer cycle already. The mobo's temperature delta would not be that big winter vs. summer, but the steel case's would, so the case would contract and expand...
Can anyone test the SATA performance of a B550 board? There were reports that X570 was a regression in SATA performance compared to 400 and even 300 series boards.
Besides resetting the BIOS, I would take out all the memory modules and re-insert them again, paying attention to do it properly. If you took out the motherboard to fit that cooler, the DIMMs might have been knocked/moved and not sit properly in the slots. It's enough for one of them to not make...
@viivo
are you running "game mode" in Ryzen Master? If so, disable it.
which power profile are you using in windows? If you installed the AMD latest drivers you should use the AMD optimized one
have you messed around in your bios? If so, I suggest resetting it to defaults and only modifying...
Thank you for all the answers. So I'm not inept, there really isn't an option to disable it.
I have added a discrete Intel NIC to my system, as Realtek NICs have given me troubles in the past and I've sworn not to use them anymore.
The reasons I wanted to disable it were:
- make the board POST...
I've looked all over the Bios menus and I can't find the option to turn it off. I'm not new to computers or Bios interfaces and despite being completely sober at the time, I couldn't find it.
Does anyone have a similar B450 Asrock board and can tell me the path to that option?
You could try the Y-splitter and see if it makes any difference in temperatures by having both fans at the same speed.
If it doesn't (which is what I suspect) then don't use the splitter. Driving them from different headers means the current load is also split.
