Was doing some research last night prior to the Red Devil coming in tomorrow and the new build. Apparently tweaking the AMDs is "very" different than the NVIDIA and controlling the voltage limit / undervolting it actually changes the voltage curve across the entire range. I guess it isn't a straight +/- voltage slider like on the RTX. Here you set a negative volt which in effect increases the voltage b/c the curve changes. That's me summing it up in a single sentence.
Also, memory overclocking was tricking people up b/c when overlocking memory the EC was kicking in and generating retransmits so people were getting worse performance when trying to OC memory. Finding the sweet spot before EC kicks in is the trick, I guess.

Anyone have recent experience with a prebuilt PC provider? I bought a system from Xidax, three years ago I believe, and its been really good. That being said, the cpu water cooling system has a fan that has started to grind loudly, so I'm open to consider other companies. From what I've seen current systems are combinations of a 5070ti / 9070 XT + a 7800 X3D or a 9800 X3D.

I bought a 7900xtx / 9800x3d system from cyber power PC about 2 months ago weeks before the prices of GPUs went crazy.
No issues at all, huge upgrade over my 5+ year old PC.

While I always encourage DIY, I don't question people going prebuilt anymore. Having more money than time, the hassle of shopping for parts, and just not wanting to build the damn thing are perfectly good reasons for going prebuilt. Getting a decent prebuilt from a reputable company with good warranty coverage is the way to go for a lot of people.
Nowadays I pretty much only do a build every 3-5 years for myself, family or close friends who aren't better served by a laptop, and the odd business that I still do work for on the side.

i always say prebuilt for friends and family now, have since 2010ish?
why?
tired of being tech support, lulz
for myself personally? i'll always diy, dropping in a new cpu feels just as giddy as i was when i built my first cyrix pc

Last system I built was like 14yrs ago, and it lasted (aside from psu / gpu dying) til I bought my current system from Xidax. I'd rather just buy one again.

I wasnt knocking it, i was just curious as to why but those are all logical reasons. I actually enjoy the building part more than the utilizing aspect. I generally get bored with a build within the week its finished and look to do something else. The downside is depreciation, especially where custom cooling is concerned. I am leaning towards my next custom water build being done using a MORA as ive never dabbled in those and putting everything outside of the case sounds great.

I prefer to DIY but I completely understand peeps that don't want to and/or don't have the time to build one.
Sometimes it bites you in the ass.
My current case/build developed a high pitched buzzing sound. Turns out the installer (ME) didn't gap the (3) 8 pin GPU power cables enough from the fan on the 7900XTX and it was rubbing and making the fan stop. Oddly, the cooler on the Red Devil (thanks again
Xexx
for the recommendation) works well enough it wasn't running hot. Had to perform emergency surgery on the floor under my desk.
To add to the fun: Black case, no lights inside anymore, cannot see shit. Call my wife to bring me a flashlight as I'm wedged under the desk. She sees me on the floor and FREAKS out (keep in mind she found me on the floor having seizures twice) Fun night all around.

Red Devil and Nitro+ are the best when it comes to AMD GPU's. Also glad the seizure wasnt fatal, sucks to have. My lil cousin used to get them too often, and his mother was a slobbering mess every time they happened.

LOL I'd tell you to use search but well you know. 1st Seizure was a fucking brain tumor that almost did kill me.
All good now

Yeah search is borked amd fuck a tumor. I dont follow alot of the sections on forums heh, mainly mmo, gaming, tv, and desktop computers so im not in the know even tho ive been on these fn forums for damn long :O
Good on you tho!
