I've had 0 issues with the 5700 since the latest driver update. Everything working as it should now.

There's no way the 1080 threw out less heat than the 5700 either. They have identical power consumption.

1080 was much cooler and quieter than 5700xt imo.
Can't stand the noise of this Gigabyte 5700xt, i will be sending it back this week and either getting a 5700xt Sapphire Nitro+ or 2070s maybe msi gaming x trio if i can take a leap on price.
I did play with the fan curve on the 5700xt and undervolted it but still wasn't happy, was coming out of games to browse a little before bed with a hairdryer in my ear

What type of case are you using and also fan setup? It could well be that you are just not getting very good airflow.

I have the Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT and I find it fine from a noise point of view. It's no different to the MSI GTX 1070 or Asus GTX 780 I had before it. I do game with headphones on though.

Unless your card is reference, I'd be suprized if it's much different from any of the others for noise.

2 intake fans at front, 1 exhaust top and 1 at back. Using gammas cpu cool that maintains cpu under 65° all the time.
My gtx 1080 never went above 65° this yoke ramps up 85° in 5 minds with junction temp going to 110°
I think it's fecked personally. Ramped the fans to 4000rpm and gpu only maintains 75° and junction 95°

Definitely something wrong there then.

The cooler is meant to be better on that than the XFX? Granted it's an XT so can't compared it directly to my 5700 but it still seems high.

These cards just need good coolers it seems for high clocks.

Wondering if anyone knows much about QOS?
Living in a house with 2 gamers, one netflixer and a serious torrenter.

Usually during the day time it's not as big a problem as it's just the torrenter at home, but at night we suffer from high ping and basically unwatchable Netflix.

I'm looking into changing QOS settings and maybe either limiting bandwidth per user or per application/type of connection.

I think the latter will be more effective as even when he isn't downloading a lot there is still a lot of congestion.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Never thought of that. So he is not a leech.

I'd be a leech but not a bad leech as I very rarely might download one episode of something(not a whole series) and straight away close out of the torrent client.

Ask him to use a scheduler on the torrent program. Come to a mutual agreement, that he can DL/UL his hearts content from midnight-7am or something. I do this, Tixati autoschedules DLs after midnight and I add torrents I want in the evening before. Torrenting causes TCP congestion in your local network that causes slowdown, not necessarily the download speed itself.

The router is an Asus rt-n66u, linked to a virgin hub 3.0. Ive already had it set to modem mode and that made a huge difference, I imagine there was a lot of delay caused there by double NAT etc.

He is a member of one of those torrent sites for years and uploads constantly, he has like 1000 torrents in his Utorrent or something.

I've/we've done this but in fairness he should be able to mess around with torrenting when he is home as well. I think you're right its not necessarily a bandwidth thing, just a cluster **** of packets trying to get through the queue and buffer cant handle it.

Get a second,seperate connection? Or maybe a switch setup with bandwith limit? But with the amount of packets I would say option first would be the best. That or anonymous tip to Garda ;D

TLDR, AMD Navi reports higher temps then your used to, the key word is "reports". The engineers have been trying to get better temp readings, the mistake they made was reporting those temps directly back to the users. Intel+AMD processers teams did the same thing over the years, gave up and just offset the temps by 20c when reporting back to the users.

Your trying to ramp the card down to a level that isn't required and complaining about the noise your generating. The Nvidia equivalent would have been trying to force the 1080 down to 50° under load and complaining it's too loud. Assuming it was running at 65 under load, seems doubtful.

You can't say, my Sata drive **** itself only on my system, I didn't do anything to fix it but it "fixed" itself, yet it's definitely the card that's responsible for my other problems. The card has some problems, some of those might be the ones you are experiencing. But you have something else wrong there and your blinkered onto the card being the only possible cause.

I'm not saying it is or it isn't. What I am saying is you need to put in the effort to figure out what is working versus what you assume isn't.

Slap a old GPU in,
Memtest on the memory.
CPU stress test, monitoring temps.
GPU and CPU stress test, stress the PSU for load, get the whole lot nice and hot(and expanding).
A "new" windows install, new GPU, same issue?

GPU is probably your problem.

Are you all hardwired or on the wifi? It's pretty unfixable if your all on the same wifi point.

For QOS, rough guide.
Set the bandwidth Virgin provides in the Asus QOS menu.
You would need to enable user defined priority in the asus QOS settings. Put the lowest setting upload to something like 10% - 30%, download 50%.
In the user defined QOS rules, put his torrent machine's MAC or IP into the lowest group, no specific TCP or UDP rules. Just IP and lowest group.
Drop the netflix machine into another group, with at least 40Mbps download. You can probably go higher, gaming really only uses kilobytes. They just need to not be delayed.

That will help you alleviate some of the bandwidth concerns. But if he has thousands of torrents which are active, it's always going to overload a "home" router. It's going to end up with a huge NAT table trying to manage all those connections. They are not built for that.

I'm not 100% but I afaik it's normal 1 year or whatever.

But I just wanted to add, I bought an Asus monitor from warehouse deals before that would normally have a 3 year warranty. 2.5 years into use, it developed a fault. And Asus, sent me out a brand new monitor and took away the faulty one.

23-01-2020 3:19pm

I had to send back a Warehouse Deal last week that was listed As New. Three parts missing and it was grubby af.
I got onto chat and they mailed a return label. Not been refunded yet though as it's still in transit.

Redfox25 · 23-01-2020 8:17pm

Have heard horror stories of people buying items from warehouse deals that were missing bits or in some cases where the item had been removed and a similar weight was put back in the box so when it was weighted on return it was deemed to be ok. Was a big thing with processors there for a while.

Having said that, Amazon customer service is great and I have never had any issues with anything I bought from them.

Ah man just let me have my rants will ya, less of this "logic" stuff.

Absolutely get what your saying, I've always made life more difficult for myself in personal PC troubleshooting then the what would be handier "piece by piece"

Issue is I really just don't have the time or really the stomach anymore for that level of troubleshooting, if I feel things arn't working the way they should, for a hefty piece of money, they can just go back.

This is the first PC I probably built in 7 years as I just moved past the point of caring, being interested or having the time. Happily just paid more for a prebuilt

I've atleast brought the system problems down to this absolutely one type of problem, where the display just goes, "no display error" and nothing happens. And it "can" be after a hefty session.

I'd say last night I was raiding and playing wow for about 5 hours, then it happened randomly. I'm actually not running any temp stuff as it was one of the "things to do to address isues" ditch any temperature monitoring software as seemingly it can cause issues with the current AMD API for GPU's

Maybe I might throw it back on and start capturing some data

I'd be shocked if it's getting to hot, but then that was also in the frequent 5700 issues, that the fan profiles are a mess

When it comes to graphics cards, it's worth mentioning AMD actually give you more temperature information than Nvidia. They provide two readings:

GPU temperature - Presumably is the temperature on the external packaging of the die.
Junction Temperature - Temperature at the silicon transistor level. This will always be higher than the above given how the heat transfer works.

Nvidia only give you the 1st one - They don't tell you what the other one is.

AMD would be far better off not reporting the junction temperature, since people see 100C+ (while ignoring the other lower figure) and start fretting around on forums thinking everything is going to melt when in reality there's nothing to worry about. (In the semiconductor world, junction temperatures of 125C or even up to 150C are often just fine even from a long term reliability point of view)

In reality Nvidia's GPUs likely run at very similar temperatures, they just report the 1st reading above. If their GPU temperature is 75-85C, you can bet their Junction Temperature is approaching 100C or is beyond it aswell.

Same for processors too.

farna_boy · 24-01-2020 12:25pm

So I have a few bits and pieces that I am looking to sell after my most recent upgrades.

Would I be better off trying to put it altogether in a build or should I just try to sell them separately?

I'm not expecting a whole lot for them but you should be able to play a lot of modern games at medium (at least).

The parts are:
Z170 Asrock Exterme 4
Intel i5 6500
8GB DDR4 Ballistix @2666MHz
AMD HD7970 GHz Edition

I also have an old case in my parents house (a Cooler Master Mystique 632 that I could to assembly everything) and I have a few spare 2TB drives so all I'd be short is a PSU.

Would it be worth assembling it tho to get a better price?

As a build it gets it all off your hands in one go instead of many many many deals. Buyer gets a full system in one go.

It may take longer to shift but adverts look up similar specs and under cut . might help.

Homelander · 24-01-2020 12:54pm

depends what price you were thinking. As parts....all pretty old school and outdated really, like the processor isn't nearly as old as the 7970 obviously for example but arguably is even more obsolete. Probably get something like this on adverts.

Z170 Asrock Exterme 4 60
Intel i5 6500 60
8GB DDR4 Ballistix @2666MHz 30
AMD HD7970 GHz Edition 50

Might get around 300 as a full system with a drive and psu. Personally I probably would just sell as parts and hope to get a decent price for them.

Thanks for this. Last week I put his uTorrent port on low priority and that seems to have made a difference. He also cleared up a huge amount of torrents so I guess the number of connections is reduced. I'll try the stuff you suggested and see how I get on.

I'll set up more rules based on your suggestions, but if I limit his IP to low will his overall net usage be affected?

Yes but its relative to the overall bandwidth available.

25% overall of the lowest package, is roughly 60Mb/6Mb. There are plenty of people across the country who would kill for those speeds in their house and it would be what I would consider a good working bandwidth for a entire household. But once he slams off that with his torrents, he will be the first to see negative effects.

Honestly the fact that he has thousands of active torrents, had put zero caps in place himself in regards connection limits or bandwidth restrictions(almost every single client has had this for years), I'd say make sure the broadband line isn't legally in your name because I don't think he really understands what he is doing.

Going by some of the previous posts, the housemate is a member of a torrent site. I assume it is a private one with ratios. That would definitely worry me. If he is a big uploaded or contributor to the site then it could land them in trouble. I don't know if any one in Ireland has been properly brought to court for torrenting but if it ever does happen, it's likely to be a big contributor rather than somebody downloading some movies or TV show.

Since moving to Sky my PC WiFi is around 8Mbps, however on my mobile phones it's more than 80Mbps. Nothing downloading, no streaming on the PC's. Sadly Ethernet is not an option due to the layout of the house.

It would be worth uninstalling your WIFI drivers and reinstalling them.

Do you use a PCIE Wifi card?

I do indeed, a TP-Link one I believe.

Swapped over to the 2.4Ghz band and not hitting 15Mbps.

It's absolutely bizarre it's this low when the admin shows it's getting a downstream of about 80Mbps
