GRAB THE LIMITED GN15 ANNIVERSARY FOIL SHIRT! store.gamersnexus.net/products/limited-edition-foil-gn15-tshirt-design This was really difficult to put together. The team had an absolute blast working on it. It's great working shoulder-to-shoulder with this crew while we try to understand new concepts! A big thank you to everyone who helped us behind the scenes: Wendell of Level1Techs, Der8auer, Elmor, and everyone else we couldn't name because they'd get in trouble. We linked the others above! Support us and grab one of the brand new, LIMITED EDITION FOIL 'GN15' shirts to help out while getting something commemorative for 15 years of GamersNexus in return! This research piece took us a straight week of nonstop work to complete. We're beyond excited to have worked on this -- it's exactly what we love doing here. Link above.

Admitting that anything is "wrong" with a product or service is opening yourself up to a lawsuit. And that "admittance" will be used against you in court. But the fact that people will sue anyone for anything these days is more of a societal issue more than anything. It didn't used to be this way and it doesn't have to stay this way. If people would stop being dicks, companies would take on more responsibility for the products they make knowing they won't be sued out of business. Bad customers over the years/decades have made this happen.

The problem was not that the coffee was hot, that's to be expected, the problem was that it was so hot that it literally fused her vagina shut requiring surgery. But, people have been using it for decades to sue a company over anything and everything in an attempt to get some money, to be fair some of the things that those companies do are horrible enough to warrant it. It seems like we need a societal shift away from money being the most important thing to everyone, but that's a different topic for a different medium of discussion.

You work tirelessly to make sure that you not only get the information needed to hold *everyone* involved accountable, but you do so in a non-biased way. You then present it in a way that the most technically savvy, *as well* as the laymen can understand. You also manage to do this while also maintaining what we all love about KZitem reviewers in general: showing us the good *and* the bad of new hardware as it comes to market. I applaud you all for being not only so diligent, but also for loving the community enough to continue this way. Bravo.

I hope you reconsider, allow time to make you realise that there's no need for AMD to do a product recall, we're not in any danger to losing our hardware if no crazy RAM overclock is made.

Once the CPU was pushed to heavy load it got so hot the solder holding the CPU ziff socket to the motherboard melted. The solder ended up in a puddle in the bottom of the case and you could lift the ziff off the motherboard with the CPU installed. Good Job Compaq!

A note for MSi owners (especially with older BIOSes): your board automatically defaults to VSoC = VDIMM. So if your RAM kit operates at 1.35 V, your SoC voltage will also be 1.35 V when you enable EXPO. That is unnecessary. If you lower it to 1.1 V, restart the system, then set the SoC voltage back to auto, it will "magically" set itself to 1.2 V which is more than enough, in my opinion.
@dancallahan970
Жыл бұрын
I’m using an X670E Ace and noticed it shows 1.35 in HWINFO but it’s actually more around 1.36-1.37 in the bios. I manually lowered the SOC voltage from Auto(AMD OVERCLOCKING) and noticed anything that was set to 1.3 or higher appeared as red in the BIOS. I then lowered it to 1.29>1.25>1.2 and at that 1.2 mark haven’t looked back. I’m going to wait it out on getting the latest BIOS, since it’s still considered BETA and being this seems a bit rushed who knows what else it may break, but since manually lowering the SOC voltage I haven’t had any issues in Cinebench, 3D Mark, and/or gaming. I also never had any issues with it being on auto either. I’ve had this board since launch with a 7950X and now with a 7800X3D. Both processors though I used a negative curve optimizer setting and disabled the integrated GPU in the BIOS.

I wanted to share what I found pretty strange about this case. I have 7800x3d on MSI B650 Tomahawk motherboard. Every time I installed new BIOS(7D75v13, 7D75v161, 7D75v162) last week the strange thing occurred. Right after installing the new BIOS, when I only turned EXPO on, or just set manually 6000MT/s and left the rest on AUTO the default SoC voltages were pretty high(readings from BIOS and HWINFO with the system on). It showed: for 7D75v161=1,35v, 7D75v162=1,30v, can't remember for the previous one. A strange thing happened after I changed the SoC voltage manually for example to 1,25v, saved changes, then again entered the BIOS and set it on AUTO one more time. Then the SoC voltage was way lower and exactly 1,19v(even when it was same AUTO/default settings like 5 min ago). This might be a problem for people who leave on auto everything, thinking the newest BIOS is the way to go. Still, I have hope that you will give some examples for "safe" votlages for other settings cuz for example DRAM VPP Voltage also goes from 1,8v to 1,95v for no reason at all. For now I set manually voltages like this: SoC=1,18v, VDDQ=1,25v, VPP=1,8v, VDDIO=1,25v. I left CPU Voltages on AUTO and HWINFO shows VCORE=1,02-1,11, VDDCR_VDD=1,02-1,09, CORE_VIDs=0,97-1,12 BTW, great video. I can't remember the last time I was waiting for a video so hard:D

I was using EXPO 1 (6000mhz) profile, and the voltages that has been set for SoC was 1.376 before the release of the latest BIOS that capped it at 1.30. i immediately disabled EXPO after seeing Derbauers video on the subject, and now i'm just using EXPO 1 with a manual SoC of 1.216. Asus first capped only the x3d chips SoC at 1.30 in the first BIOS that they've released after this f*ck up (1412), BUT, the latest BIOS 1414 now caps all 7000 series at 1.30v, which tells me that non X3D chip users are also at risk.

(Someone from GN please reply to my question below) Thanks so much, GN! Im so glad I didn't buy an AM5 platform or an X3D CPU from day 1 and risked losing a CPU AND a motherboard or go through an RMA process (been planning on upgrading since ~2019, still on an i7-3960X & GTX1070 here). I also dodged another bullet by waiting and not buying in the early days of RTX GPUs burning up due to user error or connector defects. It's always nice to wait things out and not fall victim to what early adopters would get into, especially when everything these days costs an arm and a leg. Anyway, here's my question: Im assuming all these voltage-related issues, safety/protection measures, BIOS bugs, and pretty much any of these hardware-killing issues with the X3Ds and Asus motherboards CAN be solved just by BIOS updates? Im no electrical engineer, but some of things I heard here doesn't all sound it can be simply fixed by software (especially that "organic" stuff on the substrate). Any chance of physical defects that need to be recalled and/or having to wait for new revisions to come out? I ask this because if all of this can be software-fixed, then I would happily proceed to buy my new PC in the coming days because I've had it with waiting all these years and not being able to build something new that eases my life (it started all the way back from the bitcoin days where everything was out of stock). My slow SSD & HDD here are becoming a PITA to deal with any they're slowly dying. I don't want to wait any longer UNLESS there's a slight chance that any of these issues require a hardware-level fix. I don't live anywhere near the US or east Asia, so an RMA that takes a lifetime with costly shipping (no way they would pay for it) would kill me and kill and my business that I manage through my one and only PC if im sitting here without one to use (can't manage any of it through my phone). Also, long time follower here and I would like to support you guys but unfortunately I have no need for the new cool T-shirt or any of the other merch, but here's a super thanks instead for helping me out all these years!

This is actually extremely useful to us, thank you very much. We had a similar failure on a *stage computer* used at an esports tournament on the same CPU. we were troubleshooting and planning to send it to a lab for a check. Seeing the results and knowing whose fault it is thanks to your research both saved us time and helped us be more informed of our future pre-bulk purchase testing. We added a multitude of tests to our pre-bulk checkup to avoid these kinds of failures that might pop up on the long term. In our case, the 7800X3D failed on stage prior to a match so we were able to quickly swap it out for a backup system, but I shudder to imagine what could possibly have happened if this was gone unnoticed mid-game or between games, and caused damage to people around and/or caused a potential larger fire. Once again huge thanks from the esports industry. We follow reports like these very closely to avoid hardware failures onstage.
