I'm using Team Group Vulcan Z.



Use Ryzen DRAM Calculator for your RAM settings, you might discover something new.

checking on Amazon,
It seems 5700XT from different brands are at the same price, with Asus slightly more expensive
So now it doesn't matter which brand you bought from? just the matter of support & warranty issit?
since all are using the same reference board?

Igor from TomsHardware release a basic tutorial on how to use MorePowerTool for Radeon cards.

Making the Radeon RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT more energy-efficient and significantly quieter with the MorePowerTool | Tutorial




From 7950 right? That's quite an upgrade.

Asus Malaysia can keep smoking what ever they smoking, i don't even care anymore.

They usually have great PCB and cooler but sometime they forgot small things like thermal pad for RAM. 
Oh he said that from earning call to make investor syok.

ok, some will call me stupid and wasting money for getting a reference 5700 XT

but IMO, after 2 nights of testing it with the latest drivers, I'm not complaining.

I was building my first proper gaming rig after a few decades, so my brain was pretty outdated in terms of current technology advancements.

But after a few reads, decided to go for the red camp, all these while I was the blue camp, no harm to try, right?

Anyway, was locking on a 2nd hand RX570 as my GPU, as I won't be playing the latest games anyway, mostly are just oldies, but then the seller FFK me big time, and bcos of that my rig built was delayed for weeks, and I was really pissed about it, and my advice to you, don't go browse for expensive stuffs when you're pissed and wasn't thinking rationally, then there I bought myself a 5700 XT reference card.

A week after, it arrives, and buyer remorse started to kick in after reading a lot of bad reviews about the reference card, it's hot & noisy & unstable, as most claimed.

But after trying it in my rig?
It's buttery smooth, no hang, no crash, no weird artifacts, no weird color & so... rock solid stable.
Trying a few games, playing Apex Legend in fullHD max, 2k & 4K, all no issues at all
Only noticed the hotspot temp was at max of 99C when playing at 4K, and the fan was a bit louder, but still fall within acceptable range, it's still a lot quieter than my PS4Pro.  Playing it in 1080 is whisper quiet.

gonna try a few more games later, Metro Exodus and Destiny 2 are next

saw it before my card arrives, that's one of the video that's worried me

but I guess it's the bug in the early drivers

Am using the latest drivers now, never encountered any of the shutdowns, hangs, or bugs encountered by them.

it's running pretty stable at stock now IMO
played Metro Exodus on 4K Ultra for an hour plus, so far so good

how's your 5700 xt now? still crashing with the latest drivers?

tbh, you're also one of guys that makes me has buyer's remorse after reading your posts
as we will be sharing the similar combo as well, ASRock B450 + 5700 XT

anyway, what's your undervolt and fancurve settings? mind sharing? 

cheers!

Mine is all OK as well

I'm using rx 5700xt reference / sapphire pulse xt

Never had soo much headache before. Used a rx580 before this and I never had this much bsod/crashes/laggy chrome video playback

Thought I had a bad gpu. Sold off the reference card at a loss. Bought a brand new sapphire pulse xt. Same issue. Did a ddu format etc etc.

Figured it was a driver issue. Tried 19.7.5 and it has been rock solid

TL:DR - amd drivers are crap. If you're using rx5700 xt. Do yourself a favor and just stay at 19.7.5

I somehow manage to make it work. Since there is quite few ventilation holes on the psu shroud, i changed my psu to SFX psu just to make the gap between shroud and psu bigger for ventilation.

Also added 2 hard foam acting as gpu support. Picture for reference. Now temp is in the lower 70s for edge, while junction temp around 95~100c. GPU clock stays around ~2030mhz.

...and risk voiding the warranty

After some undervolting, i think i can live with it. ΔTemp not that big as well between edge and Tj. PC is super silent now

Finally arrived 
Unfortunately, can't move over yet since I need PC to be stable for the next week or so due to work

Any of you guys had or still having any issues with the Navi cards?
Wanna move over asap but worried 

Yo, i thought AMD forgot this year annual driver. I'm so jelly man.
Driver is still on release yet.

me. doing great so far.

Last minute changes to 5600 XT...
1,375 MHz will be changed to 1,615 MHz.
And Boost Clock from 1,560 MHz to 1,750 MHz.
Done by raising TDP.
So its almost a 5700 non XT just with a messed up memory interface.

Guess thats' their reaction to the 2060 price drop.
And mind you, thats for western countries where AMD prices their cards up to 20% more competitively towards Nvidia than AMD Malaysia does. (Shame on you Malaysian distributor)

Go with Nvidia

Nice price, i read at TPU the card probably got more OC headroom but limited by software.
At the same time overclocking Radeon GPUs nowadays usually don't yield much gain. I rather downvolt and maintain stock performance or slightly increase it.

Maybe they prioritized the die to 5700 1st.

Sapphire Pulse cooling performance looks great for it's price imo. They all super quiet so that's mean you can get better cooling ramping up the fans without sacrificing noise.
I'm still waiting TPU to release Gaming X review and Goldfries on Thicc 2.


One thing i really want to see is scaling between 5700 vs 5600 XT in games that known to use more than 6GB of VRAM like Monster Hunter World with 4k texture.
Their performance with and without 4k texture enable.

Will the price of the 2060 be adjusted over here as well?
The cheapest 2060 seems to be RM90 cheaper than the 5600XT Pulse.
The 1660 Ti is priced RM140 cheaper than 2060.
