The die? Or are you talking about the actual GPU socket that the die sits on? Not sure what you'd technically call it tbh. I also just woke up too lol. Anything 70%+ is fine, but definitely want 90%+ if you can for cleaning electronics. 70% is fine though, just takes longer to dry.

16GB RX 580's?!?!? Stahp it bro. I'm so sick and tired of RX 580's, I've had I want to say 24 of them to date. I really REALLY don't want to think about RX 580's anymore. But 16GB 580's??????????? You've piqued my interest. -_-

Nope, not at all. You're actually given the option between installing 4 different styles of CCC control panel. Personally, I usually install the standard "Adrenaline" version of CCC. I've seen others install the Pro version though. You can literally mix and match your driver kernal and your version of CCC. They've even backported the AFMF feature back onto every driver released in 2023. (Note: AFMF only works on 6000 and 7000 series cards though) Agreed. I actually do REALLY appreciate the Adrenaline interface of CCC much moreso than Nvidia's 1998 style. And that's coming from a retro gamer. Nvidia's driver DOES have the advantage of their UI being the same across the years and releases though. I guess that's a plus.

Okay seriously, let's talk about AMD's drivers. Yes, there's legitimate reasons why people don't like them. One CAN say the same about Nvidia's drivers too, let's be fair to both sides. I just had the weirdest problem with my 7900XTX though. When I first built the rig, it ran fantastically! I installed the latest 24.1.1 WHQL official drivers, and I started having random freezing happen. Turns out, its a Freesync bug. I turned off Freesync and the problems went away. That's why I'm here to plug the after market drivers. Radeon-ID - Browse Files at SourceForge.net SOURCEFORGE.NET Official Mirror of AMD Domestic Community Driver Indonesia Seriously, if anybody happens to have any weird bugs, glitches, or breaking problems with official AMD drivers for ANY GPU from the HD5000 series and newer GPU's (so the last decade +)......go try those drivers. They work REALLY well. That is all. Just wanted to spread the good word.

Lost a few points / WU's or whatever last night. -_- I decided I'd go ahead and try a game out because I was bored on a Saturday night. Closed the folding client window. Didn't realize it was still folding. Started a game up. It kept freezing at completely random for like a full second at a time. Rebooted my machine. Tried another game out. Actually froze entire system - even audio and mic stopped working (but it came back). Realized there was something even more wrong with this new system than I thought....... DDU'd and reinstalled R.ID modded drivers on the 7900XTX. Problems are solved. -_- Started my folding client again. Never did play a damn game. -_-

You shouldn't need more vcore to get 1400 core clock on a 580, and 2000 on the RAM is stock clocks. 1.20v and a 200w power limit is like 1450-1500 core clock speeds range. Assuming your card can clock that high. Both of my Asus RX 580's will do 1450c / 2050m clocks at 1.20v with a 200w modded BIOS. They're not happy there, but they'll bench there. My MSI version of the card will actually run stable at those clocks though. Depends on your cooling capabilities with the card honestly. Keep it cooler, it'll clock higher.

Double post but whatever I don't care: NEXT TIME you get a GPU wet (with any wet substance) Take it FULLY apart Clean it with ALCOHOL (not soap) Let it dry FULLY for literally DAYS Put it back together with new TIM and new thermal pads (or putty) And THEN try it out Do not EVER try to turn on previously wet electronics (in general) without doing this. Or you WILL have a bad time.

What are you doing using soap on a GPU??????????? Dude, I think that cards dead. Stop powering it up, like I said the other day. Take it FULLY apart. Clean it with alcohol THOROUGHLY. Let it dry for DAYS. And then put it back together and give it a go. It's PROBABLY dead at this point though. Those photos you showed earlier are not a good sign at all. That's probably dead VRAM.

My 6900XT is a problem child. MSI used a HDT cooler on the die, and the die on these cards REALLY wants a flat copper base. The hotspot on my card is so hot because of the little cracks between the heatpipes. I've already used thermal putty and one of those graphite sheets for TIM on it, and that didn't help it much at all. My ambient apartment temperatures, I'm TRYING to keep it below 77*F inside (so far I've been lucky). So my ambient is anywhere from 72-77*F or so. I do try to keep it below 75*F, but with all these cards folding.....well its getting hot in herre.

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.
