AMD 9900x when TDP limited to 45 watts.

I found the max TDP setting in MSI's bios and currently have my 12 core 9900x set to 45 watts. 😄 Looks like it is capped to 60 actual watts. With CPU ID's stress test the 9900x TDP limited is still a sizable portion of a 16 core 5950x score.

CPU ID and HWMonitor when the 9900x is TDP limited to 45 watts.

Also, I'm surprised that PBO was set to enabled by default. At least from what I could discern from the BIOS at the moment. It wasn't set to AUTO. Is this a thing for X670E motherboards or MSI? Anyways, it's neat you can adjust settings toward cool and quiet rather than the opposite for people that like it. This is making me want a second current era computer to mess around with and one set up for full reliability and work. Component makers, let's collab? 🙏 A test bench build would be super useful.

Upgrading from GTX 1060 to RTX 4060: Performance Gains in an Older System

(I used Claude AI to generate this article based on my video's transcript, so keep that in mind it might not be perfect even though I've gone through it to correct any issues I see. Also keep in mind that I've done further testing with an ASUS Proart 4060 compared to the MSI 1060 on my old PC and noticed a few situations where the CPU was limiting performance such as FFXIV minimum framerates.) https://youtu.be/yR6XPvt-F0A Check out the GIGABYTE 4060 OC Low Profile 8G card: Amazon: https://amzn.to/3IMz7vb B&H: https://bhpho.to/4970evV Or look for a used MSI 1060 6GB ARMOR 6G OC OCV1 card: Amazon: https://amzn.to/43oY9Kt ebay: https://ebay.us/3IqNQg As an affiliate of these shops, I earn from qualifying purchases!

Working on a second GPU review.

I might as well start things off here! I'm working on a second GPU video because I had ended up swapping out the cheap Amazon Warehouse Deals RTX 4060 one for a larger quieter one. I also was able to do 4k tests without a 4k monitor by using the Atomos Ninja V. Starting to look through the results. Here is one in Google Sheets on Affinity Photo 2 using their built-in benchmark. The ASUS Proart RTX 4060 has a performance and quiet mode which is what the PM and SM data lines mean. So far from what I've seen of the data these two modes don't mean much from a performance standpoint, at least on my old i7-6700 based PC build. It feels like a marketing based feature and I'm probably going to leave the card in quiet mode. I'm not sure how much of a difference these scores mean in practice between the GTX 1060 and RTX 4060, but the number is larger! haha

OBS & Twitch multitrack is live, Intel CPUs crashing, Weird PSU, LTT site, and more in TECH Talk

I posted a technology news video on my related channel. These days OBS is a program I use a lot for all of my online video work! It's nice to see it is getting sustained development. Sadly, it doesn't look like the the Application Audio Capture beta functionality was worked on. I use that feature due to what it offers, but it doesn't work amazingly well with my current PC hardware and operating system. I get garbled sound from audio sources randomly. Technology talk I compiled, edited, and posted on 7/15/2024. https://youtu.be/3Tf2pGURUDc Timecodes from the video: 0:00 Multitrack Video live on Twitch 2:06 Intel 13 and 14th gen high-end CPU problems 2:31 Intel ARC tested on 250 games. 2:53 Lian Li's weird edge PSU 3:27 Realtek 5Gb ethernet getting cheaper 3:41 CUDIMM memory standard added to the list 4:19 LTT website is live and Gamer's Nexus site talk Information and links from the video: The OBS Project information: https://obsproje...
