I m currently using AMD AB350 gaming 3. Bios is at F6. Is it essential for me to update my Bios to f7? Else if not needed, I would prefer not to touch it.

Another question , how do I check my ram speed ?

Thanks both

Just checked. My ram frequency is showing 1330.2MHz .. why is that so? I bought my ram speed showing as 2667MHz. Sorry for asking noob question.

Thanks

why does my R5 1600 keeps increasing temperature to around 90 C when i runs OCCT (for 10mins) or Prime95 (less than 10 mins). I did not even OC it.

I am using a stock cooler.

Yea

I m using phantek P400. My idle temp not OC is 40-50 C .. what cooler should I change ? I am thinking of corsair H80i v2

Yes r51600. Room air con . Self installed heatsink and build myself.

Because cuz by the first time I set up.. I put he heatsink wrongly. Then I quickly remove and corrected it.

I didn’t apply thermal .. by default alrdy got



Ok will try to remove side panel. The custom liquid cooling like very troublesome Haha

Ok.. last question.. is OC necessary ? Since I don’t run any heavy softwares. Just gaming and reading e book and surfing

I applied mx 4 . Ran occt (no OC) for 16 mine without removing casing . Was around 85 C. Slightly better .. is it normal to peak speed keep fluctuating

This is my PC

Front has one fan? Can add another one ?

So I change the default casing fan. Mind change to what brand ?

OK. i tried Witcher 3 and Car Project 2 today. my temp hit 70C and the fan rev very loud. first time experience this. prev i played witcher 3 my fan doesnt rev loud.

What I did next is to open my casing .. realised my amd fan is plug into systemfan1 then I unplug and plug to CPU fan .. stil open casing . Ran Car Project 3. Temp hovering around 50C.. but fan rev was still loud .. close the case .. fan increase to 54C ..
shut down my game .. temp decline to 42C but fan was still rev very loud.. .. my questions are
1. Does system fan and cpu fan makes a difference
2. How to control fan speed ?

gigabyte ab350 gaming 3

after going thru some testing. i think the fan rev is coming from my graphic card. even after i shutdown my game. the fan still rev at very loudly. no idea why.

last night. before i sleep. i tried playing Project cars 2 around 10mins. everything seem back to normal. i tried again this morning with total wars warhammer. no more loud fan.

checked hwmonitor and GPUZ , realised my fan speed % and RPM are detectable now. prev they were not.

any idea why? is it some cables not properly plug?

Cables look like probably plugged in. I just touch touch. Mb bios no update but I did update my GC.

Yup after re apply thermal looks better .. let’s just hope no issue.

i m using F8 but i didnt OC. now got F9d.

nearly had a heart attack.

so after seeing my temp so low. i went to OC to 3.6 and temp was around 62 C after 10mins +. so i increase 10% to 3.9. after that the nightmare begins. my diplay was blank. everything in CPU was running. my mobo VGA card was lighted red.

after some googling. i took out my CMOS batt and now everything back to normal.

What just happened? I WILL STOP MEDDLING WITH MY PC FROM NOW.

i see. stupid question. why when OC fails, VGA was red flag? but not CPU?
