Static damage isn’t an issue in the UK because the humidity level is always high enough to avoid significant static buildup (unless we really try).

A couple years ago I stumbled onto a setting that might save a lot of CPUs from an early grave. I had a cheap laptop that was locking up a lot, at idle it was at 90C. This was a 10th gen i5. cleaning and new paste did nothing. Had no BIOS clock settings at all. So all I did was in Windows Advanced Power Settings, change maximum processor power from 100% to 99%. Processor dropped to low 70C's at idle and never locked up again.

I appreciate the discussion. One thing worth noting about bottlenecking: You want your GPU to be the bottleneck. If you're CPU-bound, you're going to have a worse experience. If you're GPU-bound, congratulations, you're getting the most out of the most expensive part in your computer. Using 100% of your GPU just means you're at your limit of FPS/graphics settings/resolution that your computer can handle. Being CPU-bound is a much worse scenario because the GPU will be waiting on the CPU to draw frames, causing stuttering, etc.

It was quite good you managed to troubleshoot that CPU . Sometimes we can be stuck with a strange problem , that goes rabbit hole . I have one of my older gaming rigs on a Asus MB that haves the NVIDIA chipset , running a early intel quadcore Q6600 before the i 3/5/7 era . Never had a problem at Windows 7 (64bits) era. upgraded to win 10 , but ASUS never released drivers for 10 , one of the missing drivers : the asus ATK ACPI . I'w running the NVidia raid with SSD drives in Raid 5 . suddenly , after a windows 10 update, the PC goes beserk : sometimes taking ages to power up (black screen), often getting stuck , rebooting will get it stuck on the BS ... needed to cut the power from the MB to manage to wake it up again (reset didn't work) . when looking to windows events , manage to see that windows didn't managed my C levels from the CPU correctly , and surprise , the ASUS ATK has been replaced by a MS "approved" . I changed the BIOS C Level configurations , memory size/emplacements, still no stable system if sleep/reboot/shutdown . Changed the power supply ... same problem... starting to think the MB was maybe getting a old cond or something , until I installed linux Mint in dual boot and ... Surprise : the PC works flawless from Linux , power down/sleep/reboot ... so even the OS can generate strange rabbit holes . Merry Xmas Graham

Just fyi, the bit about all the usb and sata controllers being in the pch isn't correct for ryzen cpu's, those do have some of the usb ports going directly to the cpu and not touching the pch, and they're usually routed to the rear IO. Having some of the usb ports and m.2 slots connecting to the cpu directly and not sharing bandwidth over the chipset connection is one of the earliest strengths of ryzen based setups.

I'm more into software engineering than hardware. When I was watching #426, early on I was thinking in terms of memory and CPU usage by Windows. I'm way simplifying the following, but typically Windows uses more of both, while WinPE (the command prompt version) and most bootable thumb drives use less. So even though the memory tests early on passed, it could be memory or CPU since it was just locking up in Windows. I wish you tried a Linux GUI just for the science of it because I'm curious to see if it too would freeze up in Linux. Regarding the CPU being bad, my CPU (an Intel i9) went bad while I was running some intensive CPU-driven graphics rendering. But in my situation, the mobo wouldn't even post. The Dell tech had to make three trips (two power supply changes and one mobo change) before concluding it was CPU. Yeah, many people won't point to the CPU until it is the last thing standing.
@randysmith70942 күн бұрын
In the end it was either a defective or degraded CPU. I guess out of warranty. Seems very likely, being an AIO gaming PC, that the user had probably been running it highly overclocked. When it started acting up, the default clocks were probably reset in an attempt to fix the issue. There's a chance the CPU could be stable with underclocking and light use but gaming days are done.

One thing (imho) worth considering is the similarity to many recent issues that I've seen. While I believe it's related to DMA channel or controller faults, it may not be the actual cause, however similar I believe it to be. Since I have no way of testing this theory, it does appear to be "thematic" of these types of faults. Not sure that this is very helpful information now. If you do decide to further investigate the fault, wonder if crystal disk or similar might trigger it? I don't have one to test currently.

I too do not get overly concerned about ESD as well, but that being said; In the mid-90s when I was first getting into computers as a profession, I had a job with the local computer shop and we had built 26 new computers for a local business. Latest gen everything. Even had the new high speed CD-ROM drives. Each system had been loaded using the Windows 95 CD disc, so we knew all the CD-ROM drives worked when built. Upon delivery day, I went with the boss to help and was unboxing systems on the floor. I opened the box, rolled it over open side down and lifted the box from it. I laid the box down and pulled the styrofoam and bag from the system and shoved them into the box. I turned to pick up the system and as I placed my hand on top of the mid-tower chassis and felt a static discharge as I touched it. Never gave it a thought and continued working. Once the systems were powered up and operating, that one I'd been shocked on had a failed CD-ROM drive. We swapped the drive and it was fine after that, but that was my first and only experience ever having such an issue. The only time I get concerned about ESD is when the hardware I'm working with is irreplaceable.

Graham, on the CPU degradation and Overclock/BIOS reset topics I think you missed something else that I saw no one told you on the past video either. First, I would like for you to see the video that Wendell did on the Intel degradation on 13th and 14th gen testing. The reason I point that out is because I think the culprit here is the freaking Gigabyte motherboard. I've seen a lot of Gigabyte and ASUS motherboards 'causing degradation on the field on common CPUs with normal people using them, CPUs that don't get touched EVER for overclocking. ASUS and Gigabyte give a lot of voltage out of the box with their motherboards, even on Server motherboards for CPUs that should NOT get higher Wattage and voltages than normal for 24/7 use. See the motherboard that Wendell uses on that video for a CPU that should not run at such a high wattage/voltage as the 14th gen 14900k, because he uses a W tier/spec motherboard and the not overclocking CPU goes sky high with voltage/wattage, poor thing. Most of the boards from Gigabyte and ASUS since 2020 up until now have such an aggressive curve for voltage, AMD have real good automation for PBO but, and is a big BUT, if the motherboard sends the signal for more watts/voltage, AMD automatic tuning goes out of spec, just as with the Intel CPUs and THEN the degradation starts. You were TOTALLY RIGHT that a G processor should not degrade or go that high on voltage. But Asus and Gigabyte allow that and push that. ASRock boards are now the best ones for safe voltage boosting and more reasonable power delivery and AMD/Intel safe specs out of the box. I think that trying disabling some cores would be good for your own use just for testing, but it wouldn't be a CPU for someone for everyday use, let alone a customer. Greetings from Chiapas, Mexico. What a lovely dissection video. Happy Christmas.
