Just another lack of optimization for the RE Engine.

that's because you keep buying buggy ass AMD CPUs with cheap asmedia USB controllers

Some Windows setups have crazy high CPU Timer Resolution like 15ms. It should be 1ms or 0.5ms.

>>108619761
it doesn't really matter
but if you have 8k available you might as well use it
it's different if you're on wireless, lower polling rate means better battery life
>>108619762
has nothing to do with what i said and windows 11 doesn't have a fixed timer resolution anyway
USB devices like 8k mice or certain sound cards have problems on AMD because they contract asmedia to give them the cheapest possible host controller to put into their CPUs
intel designs their own IP
just like if you use a cheap realtek NIC it will have 20% CPU usage when maxing out the link, while a quality intel NIC won't show increased CPU usage at all

>>108619811
So what you're saying is that we should have never left Intel and that we will one day return to the true faith.

>>108619811
Windows 11 typically defaults to a 15.6ms system timer resolution unless it detects a game or audio but the detection isnt perfect just like the game bar scheduling bullshit.

>>108619138
This is just an appetizer for when they launch the 7800x3d am4 edition in Q4 2026

How do I actually tell which of a build's fans are making the most noise when they ramp up? Bunch of other sounds in my house and a neighbor's AC unit can make it hard to tell sometimes. Specifically more of the humming type of noise since at least I know a pulsing whine that I hear is coming from the GPU specifically, so the rest of the sounds have to be others.

In a fishtank, which combination helps to feed the GPU more cold air and throw out the used hot air?
>more power to bottom fans (120 x 3)
>more power to side fans (140 x 2)
>more power to rear fan (120 x 1)
>more power to top AIO (120 x 3)
I keep that rear fan at 50% minimum and it only goes up to 70% or so even at CPU 100C, the idea being to encourage more positive pressure and also to not steal air away from the AIO when the CPU is hot. I really wish this MSI motherboard of mine had a temperature average option rather than tieing fan speed to CPU temp only.

>>108620255
I usually just set all of the fans to a low frequency (like 25%) then go through each one at a time maxing them out to identify which group I'm tweaking, then tuning them down until your find just the right % to have it run at before it gets obnoxiously loud

Case fans aren't really meant to cool your system in a conventional method so much as they're just there to move the heat out, so really any case fan curves should be flat at the highest frequency before they become audibly annoying level to you. CPU temp spikes too unpredictably to let your case fans fluctuate based on it causing a lot of random ramp ups an unwanted fan noise all because you opened firefox or something is updating in the background
I've found having your cpu/aio coolers function the same up until the cpu hits 75/80c then ramping them up to 100% works well
So like my desk area is very quiet usually so my noctua case fans are all constantly running at 42% no matter what the cpu temp is
My aio's fans are running at a constant 45% until the cpu hits 75c, then it slowly ramps up to 100% at >= 80c

Another thing to keep in mind is if you've got a lot of case fans, having them run at the same frequency can cause some humming, so I'd try to slight vary up the frequencies

>>108620255
>In a fishtank
You'd probably have to increase the bottom intake fan RPMs.
Spend some time adjusting the fan curve & RPMs in the BIOS or other fan monitoring tool to isolate the noisiest set.
Find the fan RPM to noise sweet spot first before you experiment with fan curves (ex: set horizontally straight fan curve while testing noise tolerable RPMs).
The fans don't need to run near maximum RPM until the processor temp is around 80°C.

>>108620367
My case and AIOs were around the 35-45 in the 45C to 70C 1st temp range, I just recently tuned the bottom up to 45-55 so that they sit there by default because I notice my GPU's a little bit warm on more demanding games while the CPU is barely feeling anything.

And by "little bit warm" I mean I took it down from 67-69C to 66-68 with that tweak, at the cost of making the hum noticeable on idle desktop usage rather than near silent.

(Prices are after currency conversion from my shithole.)

>>108621124
get a b760 motherboard instead for ram tuning and a 12600k at least and I'd take the 6650xt radeon if you can, but I think the cpu upgrades are more important long term

>>108621124
Having access to DLSS is precisely why those other options cost the way they do, but you didn't post the local prices for those.

>>108621173

>>108621173
The fact that you will now have to do it with a TV rather than a monitor. If you have the space for it, is all.

>>108621212
im building a pc and my desk is basically at the side of my current TV (old 1080 sharp aquos "40 lcd), I've always just hooked up a HDMI across to my laptop and either watched animu there or sometimes play stuff I like to play with a controller instead of a keyboard,
So I was wondering if I should just do the same, but I Ignore modern technicalities that might fuck my experience, mind you im currently in a nearly 15 year old laptop and I also plan to replace my TV anyway, and I do play in consoles still so what my current laptop hand handle is very limited obviously, but I know it will obviously behave somewhat different
SO I was wondering if I should get both 4k tv and a monitor, OR just invest in a bigger than average monitor, I do like big screens, specially for single player games, and movies, and Im aiming for a more 1440p experience in gaming but the option is great to have
here's what I got so far
