Re: Non Forced 2019 Upgrade Edition AMD 3950x

I finally got around to installing this thing. Looking at the numbers it seems at idle it runs around 49 degrees which is about the same as my old card ( EVGA 1070Ti ) however the default behavior is to not have the fans spinning at all under 55 degrees which I do not like. So I turned those on and ...

Re: Non Forced 2019 Upgrade Edition AMD 3950x

After poking around a bit it sounds like undervolting, which I didn't know was a thing, is the way to go with these cards. You get basically the same performance and ~100W less power usage. Which means cooler temps with lower fan speeds and less noise. Since I'm not running crazy demanding things I ...

Re: Non Forced 2019 Upgrade Edition AMD 3950x

No 4k at this time. But I have 2 2Ks along with a 1080 that I'll probably get around to replacing in the next half year so that's a few pixels to push. I was eyeing the OLEDs but the burn-in issue might scare me away from considering those too seriously as a main display at this time. For video I ty...
