yeah, fellow old duffer here, got my first PC in 97' as a teenager and of course had to learn to do all the upgrades my self since it was for gaming.
You're running a R9 7950X alongside, right? My 5800X3D with CO -30 on all cores is pretty lightweight in comparison. My current games are around 50W, 80W tops for the whole CPU. If I end up playing a game which really puts full load on the CPU and GPU, I might still get into trouble.
Yeah, I have 7950X but I run it in 105W eco mode. Performance change is pretty small while it uses way less power.
You are absolutely correct, of course. I exchanged the 240 for a 360. I'm just getting the new rig up and running now, and it definitely blows hot. There's lots of room for more fans in my case however...that's my next little project. Heh, Calgary isn't in Siberia, but our computer room does get chilly in the winter. Maybe this year we won't need the little space heater my wife likes to run when we're down here.
i was just thinking same thing, cant order one sold out or complete kits , instead bought this cable is that ok ?Yea a 240 seems too small. heck i have 3x360 and it still cant keep it under controll if i go ham on power settings.

Yea and now get rid of that ugly dongel too by getting a custom cord. i got one with x4 connectors and it just feels so much better
SEASONIC 12VHPWR CABLE
thnx for the info much apreciated
Hmm i hade 2 of those with my PSU and they worked. I dident like the x2 connections so i got a cablemod one with x4 just to be safe i guess ^^ But there was nothing directly wrong with them.
FINALY managed too fix an issue ive been having, PC shut off at times when gaming... ONLY when gaming. I could benchmark cpu+gpu+memory for hours without issue. Total power off but did not have too flip the switch on the back of the PSU so supposedly not a power issue. You will never guess what it was
The antivirus... I hade a good one to, Bitdefender. Something must be triggering some thing that just kills the power. Finaly i can play without saving every 5 minutes due to loosing tons of progress. And i can oc my stuff again gimme those 144 fps
Just in time for BG3 and soon Starfield
Ah yes, I remember the scaling tests. AMD's out of the box settings on the Ryzen 7000 (non-X3D) are plain silly, but everything to squeeze out a few more points of performance for the benchmarks.

cablemod cable is impossible to get here or i need to pay import 30 euro or complete kits 100 euro fuck that
anyway this should be fine.. dont know how 2 cables is save but electro man is not my thing
.. now i am done finaly game pc closes now and awaiting starfield and atleast one witcher game before i die
And to follow up... My heating problems was mainly due to my PC case...not nearly enough airflow, despite a decent array of fans. I took the glass front cover off the case and replaced it with a very loose plastic mesh, and now running temperatures, even while playing, are much better. Don't trust manufacturers specs on gaming PC cases.
Hehe saw that the other day too, way to much stuff for my taste. I would prefer the more minimalist style i think.
Even though SLI and Crossfire are rightly the premium option aren't most games and other hardware not well optimized to use it? It seemed to pick up steam in years prior but I thought that approach had died out.
Its more or less non existant nowdays. ive used SLI/CF for years before it became unuseble due to lack of implementation. Very few games puts it in now that nvidia doesnt create profiles and so on anymore, sometimes you can kinda hack it into the game or the game is old enough to have a profile but thats pretty much it. It was pretty popular for a while but it was still a very small % that used it and it was prone to have some problems even if it technically worked.
Modern approach to multi GPU needs usage of Vulkan and support of games engines. No one is doing that, so you can forget about it for now.
It's super dead, just like that nearly 10 years old post you quoted
Lmao!!! I saw after I posted it! Most people who had posted originally have probably upgraded their PC's a couple times by now.
