I've got my 6900XT running at "stock" 2500MHz boost / 2000 mem, with a -10% power tune. Seems to be boosting still around stock levels, but only drawing around 200w instead of the 300w it was overclocked and at +12% powertune or whatever. Hotspot isn't near throttling either, nice and "cool" 85 ish degrees on the hotspot.

Also can confirm. Happens on me with Brave / Win11 or Win10. I didn't even think about just hitting enter on the homescreen, yeah its the carousel causing that behavior.

This would be a fantastic start if you hadn't done so already. Like, immediately, before you hurt the poor Vega. Even if its just water, just water WILL evaporate just fine yes. It's, like Labrat mentioned, moreso about any dust or literally anything else that the water could've drug in with it. Get the card 110% clean, 120% dry, and put back together and repasted / repadded. And then give it a go. And firstly, I'd say try it in a regular PC / bench setup whatever without the riser first. Make sure the card itself actually is working good first before you try it in the risered extension. Process of elimination.

People in the thread Labrat linked to earlier recommended this extension: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/2255799918873144.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt Have you tried the GPU in a different machine yet to rule the riser out completely? Have you tried other risers? The card is being recognized, kinda. You can also check the windows error reporting I believe for any PCIe errors? If there's PCIe errors, its the riser probably.

I can replicate it every time on Brave Browser on desktop, which I believe is based off Chrome? Mobile doesn't APPEAR to do it. I don't have / use any other browsers to test, nor will I be installing one to test since its a minor issue.

That is AWESOME! Ty for sharing.

Alright so I can be on any page and this happens, but lets go ahead and say I'm on the homepage. I type in, idk, let's say "pio" in the search and hit enter. A wild new tab appears! https://reviews.extremehw.net/all-reviews/corsair-mp700-pro-2tb-nvme-review/ Meanwhile in the background on the tab I was originally browsing and searching on: https://extremehw.net/search/?q=pio&quick=1 This has been a recurring bug for a while now. I just keep forgetting to report it. EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure its almost always the TOP review that gets pulled up as a new tab. I think. Cannot confirm as its almost gotten instinctual to just close the tab and continue going.

I was probably flagged as one of those bots. I was getting that same error message trying to check the stats all night. I assumed it was my VPN, tried without and same problem. I'll have to wait for updates here then.

Alright awesome. Let's see if this continues!! I'm actually almost impressed with my output at this point. I'm going to HATE my electrical bill though. Between a Ryzen 7900x, 5800x, and RX 7900XTX, 6900XT, and 5700XT (I shut down the Ryzen 3600, wasn't helping output at all).........I'm doing roughly 10m PPD! At roughly 1500w worth of power draw across 3 rigs (or more).

Yeah it was just being fired up. Ryzen 3600 is doing about 200k PPD 5700XT is doing about 1m PPD give or take. Honestly, I was expecting a LOT more. 5800x / 6900XT rig is doing nearly 5m PPD right now combined. Next gen older is doing 1.2m. Big ouch. Whatever, its a good stability check for my 3 newest rigs in the house.

No worries. I've got 3 rigs going. 7900x, 7900xtx, 5800x, 6900xt, and even a Ryzen 3600 with a 5700XT. All folding. The Ryzen 3600 I might shut down if it continues with only 8k PPD, that's definitely nowhere near worth the energy. The rest of these parts are doing alright though. About 500-700k PPD per CPU (5800x / 7900x), and roughly 3m PPD on each GPU (the 5700XT is still calculating). I might be able to beat a single 3080Ti with all these rigs!

Can we possibly have a link at least or something to the current placing / stats for our team and the competition as a whole in the OP maybe? I'm not sure if that's possible on our end or not seeing as its not our competition. Just a request, so its not so hard to dig for the info. I am a little bit curious to see how much I'm contributing, but I'm also curious to see how well we're doing vs the other teams too. Looking like we MIGHT take over EVGA soon?

Is the 5800x worth folding on? I thought they weren't? I can load up my 5800x and 7900x.

I'm now officially in. pioneerisloud I have 7900XTX and 6900XT going. I'm trying to kick my kid off the TV so I can fire up the 5700XT.

I was never able to get the hotspot feature to function properly with Windows native options from the OS. I instead, installed Connectify, for my hotspot use needs. Does exactly what you're saying, starts it up automatically on startup. Hassle free, and ad free hotspot.

What about just keeping it simple? Leave the titles part as is the way it is now, allowing upwards of 2 lines of text. Move OP down 1 line below the title (which I believe is "as is" now). Force "Last" to be 1 line below "OP" instead of even allowing it on the same line as OP (since sometimes it splits anyway) Abbreviate the date to be numerical so it fits without going down yet another line. This would force that section to stay within 3-4 lines of text at most, and it'd have everything requested visible as best as possible.

The voltage section of Polaris BIOS editor doesn't really work on most cards, just as a heads up. Polaris generally responds well to an increase in the TDP section. In other words, giving it a positive power limit like setting the slider to +50% in MSI Afterburner. I have a pair of Asus 8GB cards that are BIOS flashed to 1400c / 2050m and they run rock solid there. And then I have a cranky MSI 8GB card that I always seem to brick it with a bad BIOS flash.

Unless you've already fixed it, its in line correctly for me. Maybe it has something to do with the table width? By the way, the change looks pretty good so far. I do appreciate the "OP" and "Last poster" names being right up front like that. Very nice addition there.

It's alright, its just starting to get really good. I believe I only have 1 rig left to build (and a few to install / image). 2 if you count the 3rd Socket 939 setup I wanted to put together, but the board still needs repaired. Should be all done by mid this year for sure, and I'll actually start taking them out and doing more pictures / benches with them. Once they're done too, I'll be redoing the OP a little bit to show them off better too. I don't think I've touched the original stated specs since I made my list years ago. EDIT: Updated the OP's build list. I do still need to get pictures done, uploaded, with full specs. It's on my list of things. Still trying to get them all 100% imaged though so I can always easily get them working again. Worried about that before pictures.

So I have more good news to report, I guess. Good and bad. The FX rig lives! I present (again) Bulldrowser: AMD FX 8350 @ 4.5GHz, 1.45v (2400 NB / 2600 HT) Cooler Master basic whatever 240mm AIO with Arctic P12's Asus Crosshair V Formula 16GB (2x8GB) GSkill DDR3-1866 @ 9-11-10-28-1T Sapphire TriX R9 290x EVGA 750w PSU 2x Samsung 120GB SSD RAID0 2x HGST 3TB HDD RAID 0 Intel Wireless + BT LG Blu Ray Burner Corsair unknown case Now, time for the bad. I said there was bad. The Cooler Master unknown 240mm AIO appears to have lost some coolant along its journey with the FX 8350. As such, it no longer has the cooling capacity it once had. This poor AIO is being heat soaked by this FX 8350 at stock voltage. I did purchase a 280mm AIO for it, unfortunately A) it won't fit and B) it won't mount. So for NOW, sadly, I'll have to accept 4.5GHz out of it as good enough. It is passing prime95 stability tests for over 12 hours there. It appears rock solid. Temps are high, but how often will it be prime95'ing? Unfortunately this means I require a bigger case for the build AND a bigger AIO if I want to continue trying to push a higher speed out of an FX 8 core I think. So, for now, its fine at 4.5GHz. Maybe if I get SUPER bored and everything else is done maybe. I do have a second CPU I can try in there as well. However the second CPU seems to have a bugged temp sensor on it. It also seems like its going to heatsoak this AIO regardless around the same clock speed anyway. The AIO is definitely the weak point here with it grinding like it is. It WILL get replaced, I just don't know if I'll go full on stupid and find another case too. Also: More bad news: My old Sabertooth motherboard I pulled out, appears to have the 8pin extension welded to it. Oops. You can see discoloration from heat on there (and I promise, that cable is NOT coming off). So, we've found the culprit on why that board wasn't stable. It's probably fixable to be honest for anyone handy with an iron.

Idk man, that "toxic behavior" comment has me a little sketched out. So long as we have good mods, which we do right now, I see no problem.

/me laughs maniacally with 350nm AMD K6. They're not taking away MY nanometers!!!! What's even better, my CPU is literally worth its weight in gold!

I've had pretty good luck with AFMF so far, and the frame gen on FSR3 too. I view these as ADDED features though to monkey with, not so much as a "game play necessity" to turn on every title. It's definitely not a set it and forget it setting. It's a setting to use on a per game basis. Avatar the framegen seems to work very well and smoothly (with my setup at my resolution). I use it on Void Crew as well, and it works great there (AFMF). Other games, I think I tried Cyberpunk and it was a jittery mess. It's getting better at least. Still installing my gaming titles though, so I can't speak for my whole library yet. And yes, you DEFINITELY want to turn on AFMF with a high framerate to start with. I try to keep at 60+ (with AFMF off), so I stay within my freesync range at ALL times including the dips. It does feel a LOT smoother in some titles with it on. First person games I've noticed tend to be a LOT worse and jittery. I don't much use it on first person titles (yet). But that's also why I feel like these AI generated frames really aren't that great anyway. I'm always pro raster camp, get the fastest GPU you can afford and power through it. I didn't buy a 7900XTX for the framegen, I bought it because it was the fastest card I could afford, that would push my resolution.
