PC returning from sleep mode to a different CPU frequency *

Image
I have had an issue that when I put the PC to Sleep mode, the PC returning from sleep mode returns to a different CPU frequency. In my case my CPU was at 3900 Mhz. and then returned to 3600 Mhz . This has been been happening on a regular basis every time the PC goes to sleep mode. https://sites.google.com/site/ryzen7rig/

Silent Loop cooling Ryzen 7 *

Be Quiet! Silent Loop cooling Ryzen 7 Prime95 16 cores test This is a 280mm Radiator with 2 140mm fans. https://sites.google.com/view/fxv300tech/cooling-fans There are a few different types of cooling fans. Sleeve bearing fans use two surfaces lubricated with oil or grease as a friction contact. Sleeve bearings are less durable as the contact surfaces can become rough and/or the lubricant dry up, eventually leading to failure. Sleeve bearings may be more likely to fail at higher temperatures, and may perform poorly when mounted in any orientation other than vertical. The lifespan of a sleeve bearing fan may be around 40,000 hours at 50°C. Fans that use sleeve bearings are generally cheaper than fans that use ball bearings, and are quieter at lower speeds early in their life, but can grow considerably noisier as they age. Rifle bearing fans are similar to sleeve bearing, but are quieter and have almost as much lifespan as ball bearings. The bearing has a spiral groove in it that pumps

PSU - look out for an 8 pin EPS Power cable 12 volt *

When you purchase a PSU it is best to get something powerful enough to support the items you could connect to your motherboard. In particular graphic cards (GPUs) need a fair amount of wattage. Don't forget that new motherboards may require a  8 pin EPS Power cable 12 volt  This cable is very similar to a PCI EXPRESS ADAPTOR but it is not the same thing. You will also notice the layout of the  connector is different. I needed this adaptor as the PSU did not have this connector. If you can find a PSU which includes the 8 pin EPS power connector that will avoid the need for this device. You will find many of the latest motherboards require this ATX_12V power. lots of technical videos. https://sites.google.com/site/ryzen7rig/ https://sites.google.com/view/tecchie/home https://sites.google.com/view/fxv300tech/home https://sites.google.com/site/soundsokok/ https://sites.google.com/site/windows10okok/

How to setup the fans in your case for efficient cooling. My motherboard GIGABYTE AX370 Gaming 5 when overclocked can generate high temperatures.

How to use BIOS Print Screen - Aorus Gaming 5 *

Image
According to the BIOS help you should be able to get a printscreen at any of the menus. When I try and get a screenshot using F12 I get the following error. I have tried a PS2 Keyboard, and 3 different USB Keyboards. I have tried the Keyboard in every USB socket on the motherboard as well. Also tried the Keyboard print Screen key. Any clue how this is meant to work ? I am on BIOS F5 Just discovered that if you put a USB flash drive in a USB socket this function starts to work. The error is misleading. What they mean is that there is no USB Flash drive to store the image. https://sites.google.com/site/ryzen7rig/

Smart Fan 5 *

SIV The  SIV  APP offers many utilities. With the original install the only one that seems to work initially was the System Information. As of the 13th April 2017 the Smart Fan 5 application works and it is a great app for changing your fan settings and saving them as profiles . Brief video shows the capabilities of Smart Fan 5 I have set the fan settings in the bios.This app lets you change the settings in Windows on the fly, for example if you want to some stress testing you can turn on the fan to a predefined setting using a profile or the built in "full power" mode. I have started a blog if you want to discuss anything related. !!You should set the fans in the BIOS as that will be used to boot up your PC!!
