    12002 Firestrike score ok? Ryzen 5 1600 & GTX 1060 6gb

    I haven't run 3dmark stuff in years. Built a new system at beginning of summer and finally got around to running Firestrike demo. https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/21759382 All my games are fine and I'm OC'ing my CPU to 3.8 on stock. Comparing to other results of my CPU and GPU on their website put...

    Ryzen 5 1600 and AMD Ryzen Balanced Power mode

    Just to update my post (I edited main post) I am OC'ing my CPU to 3.8ghz on stock cooler. Stress temps were under 70C and gaming newer games it is around 62C. I mainly play CSGO and SWTOR though so my CPU is in the 40s and my GPU fan never kicks in (has to be over 60 to start up). I ran a...

    Geforce 1060

    Yeah, I decided not worth the hassle. I was using my old HD5850 for two weeks waiting for RX580s to come back in stock. Surprisingly it worked well..just loud as hell trying to keep up with today's games that it could play (blizzard games, rocket league, CS GO, etc). I gave up when the MSI...

    Geforce 1060

    I got a MSI Gaming X 1060 6gb model 3 weeks ago after rebate for $245..after not being able to get an RX580 due to the mining craze, and now the 1060s are affected. I'm actually considering selling my card for $100-150 profit based on current ebay bids for same/similar cards and using an old...

    Official Destiny Thread

    Yeah, I've been thinking of that as well. I mainly built my PC so I could get back into a few MMOs I used to play, RTS games, and Civilization. Plus, there are going to be quite a few play anywhere titles announced at E3 so who knows. I'm still on the fence about it though.

    Official Destiny Thread

    Now that I built me a new Ryzen PC I'm on the fence about PC or Xbox for this game LOL..if it is any inclination of my past gaming habits, I'll have it on both :p

    Miners messing with the supply chain again?

    Yeah a reference. It would get to 80C pretty quick and the jet engine take off. It's pretty dang dusty so I blew some air through it then thought..who cares, I've got a whole new build here and this is going back in the closet anyway. :) My new card doesn't even have fans that spin up until it...

    Miners messing with the supply chain again?

    Got tired of my loud fan on my HD5850 in my new Ryzen build..and got tired of waiting for the RX580, So I went green and picked up an MSI GTX1060 Gaming X 6GB at Microcenter for $245+$15 MIR. After taxes and rebate is $250. I'll revisit AMD in another 5 years or so. My HD5850 hung in there, but...

    Ryzen 5 1600 and AMD Ryzen Balanced Power mode

    I had installed latest from AS Rock as well, then was just reading about overclocking and there was a news story about Ryzen Balanced Mode I read. I downloaded it direct from their site..but it said I already had it installed. I went ahead and installed the one from AMD anyway, checked...

    Ryzen 5 1600 and AMD Ryzen Balanced Power mode

    I ran stress test on cpuz and it didn't boost, it stayed at 3.4. I ran just a quick bench from user benchmark website and it boosted to 3.7 and gave me a UFO for workstation. So, all of this from what you've written sounds completely normal and is what is expected of these newer chips...

    Ryzen 5 1600 and AMD Ryzen Balanced Power mode

    I just built me a Ryzen system (I'll list parts at end) and updated the AMD chipset and it now includes a new Win 10 power state called AMD Ryzen Balanced Power. By default this puts my processor at 3.4 and boosts to 3.7 ghz. I have double checked this with CPUz and Ryzen Master running. Prior...
