Doesn't get to the point for another 2mins and spends almost 20 mins talking.
Thank you!
Of course it's not in the description :D
thanks man
A couple of videos back, you were wondering what kind of content we want from you...well here you are! This is exactly the kind of stuff I find interesting (not that the rest isn't though). This is so useful and helpful. Thank you!
Talking about the "XMP" thing made me think that a video of "Tips & Tricks for noobz" regarding BIOS (or UEFI) setting up and configuration, might be useful too. There are a ton of setting in there that most people don't know about or don't understand. I know that it would be complicated to cover the subject, as there are many brands out there, and each of them does things "their way". But a couple of "most common" examples with things to look after (like the XMP) or things to ignore, might be interesting.
Happy Holidays everyone!
While it is great to see and hear Jay explain these different settings in the BIOS/UEFI I would have to say that one of the best things a tech'/computer enthusiast can do is to develop their own skills by using Google to search for answers. Yes, there is a lot of bad/subjective answers, comments, and opinions out there, but then you start finding great forums or resources like Tom's Hardware (just and example). The more information you have the more you can draw upon and filter out the best answer based upon your scenario or requirements.
@@walterday8933 If I search it in google and find the video, does that logic still apply?
@@Extorchz Good point!
@@walterday8933 I understand your point of view and I agree on the basis. That's how I used to get to information back in the day, and for some things, still now. But having someone with Jay's experience, give his feedback and explain it in a video, I feel brings much more value and clearness. If a picture is worth a thousand words...a video...well, you get the point.
You nailed it. Great video.
"What to do after you build your system" is probably among the top 3 most helpful youtube videos I've ever watched. I appreciate it immensely. I'm going to put this one to use next, before I call the system I built for my daughter for Christmas done and wrap it up. Thanks!
This is awesome stuff. I just finished building my first computer, and you might be surprised how hard it is to find something this easy to digest and understand.
yeah like if msi's bios lets you set the year past 3000 it corrupts the windows install and can trick you into thinking you computer broke when it's not not sure if other mobo makers have that issue but it's something to always watch out for
I've found y-cruncher and OCCT to be the best memory and CPU stability tests. AVX2 / AVX512 instructions will always be the hottest and the memory controller load from y-cruncher will surface any memory issues. OCCT with about 75% of the max threads is useful when undervolting and memory tuning as it will catch weirdness with the windows task scheduler.
This is the kind of stuff I want to see. As PC enthusiasts we all should be ensuring a stable system. Build if yourself and you have to make sure it works yourself. Very helpful! Thank you for the video. This will be easy to share.
As I said in the last video, Jay is a great teacher, super patient and kind. It's awesome. Super thorough and descriptive in the best possible ways too.
I'm gonna use the information in here to build a "New/Upgraded PC Stress Test" checklist. I did most of this before, but Jay always brings something new to the table! Thanks to you all!
Thank you, Jay for doing it with the default programs, at least on AMD side. Would be cool to go more in-depth for what each setting does on the AMD Master/IntelXTU (same for GPU) settings does, but really nice.
For AMD GPUs I recommend testing out undervolting. Just go to Performance > Tuning > GPU Tuning > voltage set to manual and drop each by about 5 or so > test > drop > etc. I was able to drop from 1025v to 935v (so far) with max 1206MHz (RX 470 4GB) and still stay stable. Dropped about 10-14C and actually gained about 3FPS in Witcher 3 while testing. Going to see if I can get it at 900v.
Only bad side I found on AMD is, if you have more than one monitor the VRAM speed stays on max (1650MHz for me) to "avoid screen tearing" and so the idle temps stays kinda high. Would love it if they could fix that somehow, or if there is a fix for it.
Hi Jay, Thank you for this.
I'm doing tips of Alienware Aurora R13 for the community, and I'm thinking about to do a stress test, and this really helps.
This does help a lot. I’m in the middle of a build for myself. Unfortunately I believe that I will have to RMA my motherboard but I’m taking notes and will be doing these exact tests to ensure that everything is top notch once the system wants to actually POST.
This is awesome! I have been having some issues with crashing or freezing on some games and I couldnt figure out why since I ran a bunch of benchmarks ie 3Dmark and everything was running just fine. Until I looked at my CPU temps and realized that it was reaching pretty close to 95C fairly frequently while running cinebench. I looked up the games and it turns out that they were fairly CPU intensive which would explain the freezing. I swapped out my AIO for my stock cooler and everything is looking great again. This was my first build and everything was just fine for about a year of gaming so I thought everything was fine. I am still learning so much more. Thank you so much Jay, you're amazing!
When Jay was talking about missing thermal paste I wonder if he was mentally was having flashbacks to the missing AIO thermal paste from the tech support challenge vs Steve.
Yup my mind went straight there as well and Intel was wanting that CPU back so they could look at it since it ran so well for Jay without thermal paste
My 1 year old dell laptop was running hot so I took it apart. There was a lot of thermal paste........on the substrate. There was almost none on the silicon. I was a bit surprised at how tiny the silicon is on a Ryzen 4700u, but anyway I re-pasted it and it helped a lot. less fan noise, fan runs less often, overall temps are less (at least based on my hands detecting heat)
thanks
@Ashley William, then, will buy Alien instead for sure thank you again.
@@a1-0za-z54hahhahaha, now that’s funny.
11:39 "So AMD SmartAss memory is enabled by default". LMAO! In all seriousness, great informative video though and as always it is much appreciated!
That one got me too.
Looool i was looking for this comment
Awesome summary of the software needed! Tested my PC even though it is a off the shelf prebuilt just to see the temperatures it reaches on CPU and GPU and it worked great! Thanks a lot!
Such perfect timing! Just finished the build and went through the "what to do after video"
Keep these kind of videos coming! Personally, I would love to watch a video of you explaining things like raid configs and partitions.
Jay you mentioned in a previous video about putting data on one drive and programs that use that data on another drive. Any way you could do us a video on that and why its helpful and show some examples. That would be awesome! Love your content and my first pc build was successful due too your videos. Thanks for all of the great info!
Your first pc build was successful due to YOU being willing to seeking out information, don't sell yourself short! Are you referring to a NAS (network attached storage)? They are very useful for large storage or if you need to access data from many different devices.
No idea what JayZ talked about before, but the times I did it it was pretty much just for the convenience when formatting again. Keep in mind, this was in the times when SSDs were not common, you'll need to update this a bit ;)
Say you built a PC with 2 hard drives. Windows goes on HDD 1. Pretty much all software also went on drive 1, along Windows. Steam goes to drive 2, since you don't want to download your games again after formatting (nowdays, you'd just create a Steam Library there). You'd take care of moving most of your data, because at the time, software clashed with User Profile Redirection. But, even if you didn't do that, there usually was not much to worry, since you could just move all your stuff before formatting to drive 2.
Whenever you need to format, you can safely wipe drive 1. It only contains software that doesn't (gracefully) survive a reformat. Reinstall drivers and software you need on drive 1, which you could have downloaded from your previous OS and stored on drive 2, and you're ready to go. All your data is still there, your Steam games are downloaded and (nearly) ready to play. If you have portable apps on drive 2, you can just launch them.
Hey man, this is the first video of yours I've seen, and I gotta say I am now a fan! Love the way you talk about and explain your concepts, incredibly informative and intuitive to follow. Thanks for your work!
When you asked about ideas for videos, this is what I had in mind. Very informative, concise, and helpful. Good job guys!
Thanks, I just got done doing some overclocking for the first time and this popped up just when I was wondering how to test. Thanks Jay!
You're a life saver Jay! I was looking to fix some of the issues in my PC and scrambling thru pages to find the right way/tool to do it and bamm! Your video dropped!
Ive built multiple computers and am prety confident in my ability to get a computer up and running, but i always find myself using your What To Do After video almost everytime just to make sure i have all my boxes checked.
Great video !! One thing that I noticed while doing these tests, individually, the temps are fine. But when I’m gaming and cpu and Gpu both are working, the temps rise a bit higher.
Awesome video Jay! I’ve seen ‘stress tests’ claimed on systems before, but now I know what that entails. Thumbs up 👍
This looks like a scam... flagging it.
Some account with Jay's picture but not Jay's username 🧐
@@higherdimensio did the same 🧐
@@jphdez15 sadly flagging these user comments rarely get their accounts taken down but we can definitely try and flag the comments on these videos as responsible community members!
@@Hydranox and even sadder is that even if it does get taken down, they could easily create another one 😔😔
But as you said, we can still do our effort to do something about it
" Much love to you Jay! I have learned so much form you and your crew. Truly appreciate you guys dedication. So nice to have a channel to keep your knowledge refreshed on overall-computer-upkeep, being me and other don't build PC for a living, just hobbyist. Gratitude and Happy-Holidays!"
Thanks again for this video!! I rewatch this each time I get a driver update and do an 'update" on setup .
Thanks for the refresher Jay. I'm getting a pre-built soon (thanks scalpers) and I wanted to refresh myself with some first time startup things with a new computer. I haven't built one in about 6 years.
Glad he's feeding us content nonstop lol. I love watching g stuff about actually tinkering with a build. There's enough info about building lol.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm not tech savvy at all, and this video helped me figure out what was wrong with my PC after I had changed out my GPU and CPU. Look forward to more of your content!
What was wrong with it?
YES! More like this! I just built a 3080 system with Micro Center, and it's my first AIO so these are super helpful for me. Thanks!
Man I really enjoy following your TH-cam channel your videos are clear and straight to the point as opposed to other TH-camrs who at times sound as if they have a speech impediment or have been living in their parents basement for a little too long. Just wanted to say keep up the good work.
ive sent that "what to do after you build your pc" video to so many people lol its pretty useful. used it as a guide for my first build
That was a great video. He made a lot of sense when he said to install windows updates first before installing hardware drivers.
Thanks for making this video. This is almost the exact setup i have built for my daughter in terms of the 5600X and ROG STRIX 6700XT GPU and you've given me some good pointers to get things ready for when she receives it at Christmas :)
I got this setup in my personal rig for now. She's going to love it, great job 👌
Thanks Jay, great video for newbies testing their systems. I did learn the standard for GPU testing which I will be doing over the holidays! Finally was able to source the last 2 parts for me build. Gave up and spent more than I should have to for a video card. ☹️
When you asked for people's suggestions on what kind of theme we wanted to see in the upcoming video?
This is the kind of video guides that I have wanted to see for a long time, MSI Afterburner was one of them and I hope you make more similar guides for us who do not know a single thing about computers.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Sweden
Would love to see this same video with Intel and Nvidia. Great content! Thank you!
My most recent error was a difficult one. After a few minutes/hours of gaming (random), the PC blue screened and rebooted. The error code was pointing to memory, while I was thinking about the GPU being dead. I changed the PSU, I changed the RAM, and still, no improvements so I really was worried about my 3070Ti.
After hours of wandering in forums, I noticed some people having trouble with their PCIe 4.0 16 lanes on the same gigabyte Z490 motherboard than me, with the last bios. Changing to 8 lanes solved the problem.
TLDR: Diagnose your problems carefully and you will probably save some money
set it back to 16 lanes and try it @ PCIE 3.0
@@RavenskyAsh no need, it works fine with 8 lanes !and the bandwidth is enough for this GPU.
After a year they still didn't update the bios for the mb so... I'm not touching it anymore
I had the ram issues but they're just a tad different: either it bluescreens under load but the bluescreen doesn't restart the pc automatically = ram is gone
If the pc resets (power failure) without bluescreen when idle = ram not stable (or nand is forgetful)
I was having an issue with my 6700xt crashing and switched from a gigabyte b550 motherboard to an Asus and the problem went away… never thought to switch lanes tho 🤔
@@jordanschellhase2952 interesting. Probably what im facing eith my new machine. Built it with a 5700xt, have zero issues except when running outer worlds. Screen goes green and pc reboots. Was scratching my head because all tests showed fine.
This video is an early Christmas gift! Thanks Jay! It feels like you read a previous comment of mine because this is the kind of content I love most: troubleshooting, how-to, etc. Thank you so much.
These videos on new builds have come out at just the right time. Built my first PC and am gifting it to my uncle. Thanks Jay
Once again, I’ve learned something new from this channel. Never knew Intel offered the XTU tool. Can’t wait to check it out.
Some companies also have motherboard specific software to control the CPU and\or Memory Timings as well. Like ASRock Timing Configurator or EVGA X1 Eleet - but you have to have specific motherboards for those to work.
Keep in mind it only works with 6600K and newer.
same dude i did it know as well about xtu amazing. 😱🤯🙂😮😀
If you are looking to use Intel XTU, check the processor specs on the download page before you download. This is only for High end processors. The CPU on the bottom of the list is Intel i3-9350KF (Though I wouldn't call any i3 a high end processor). That kind of leaves my poor old i5-4670K processor out of the loop.
I just utilized the Intel XTU, and I must say, I like how they did this a LOT. I like the prettier AMD I saw Jayz use, but the more technical style of Intel's is nice too, and it still PERFECTLY conveys everything with minimal knowledge of how CPUs and computers function (still need to learn a LOT).
Best tech channel out there. Jay deals with real issues and gives constructive advice. If you "actually" want to learn anything...this is where you go. 👊
Well, that's kinda harsh. Jay's a great Techtuber but he's certainly not the end-all-be-all.
@@arnox4554 That's not what I said. I said he is the best, meaning most complete. I watch other channels too but I find Jay dives deeper more often.
@@Nak287 Gamers Nexus is the one giving the most detailed info about hardware.
@@nickpetriashvili2863 Thanks, will give it a try. 👊
Very useful info as usual. I'm only on my 3rd pc and learned a few tricks today. Thank you, Jay!!!
Thankyou, Working on a new build added this to a playlist in order to revise.
11:39 I thought jay said smart ass memory.
Good timing! I'm recently experiencing random freezes esp. when I'm booting up a game, browsing the web, or just simply letting my pc sit idle. I've currently done all the possible software fix that you could think of, so I'm guessing the issue might be hardware already.
I recently realized my b450 motherboard's auto settings for my xmp profile was not upping the voltage to 1.35v support the higher speeds. That fixed my random hard locks. Also good to check the support page of your motherboard to see what ram speeds it has been validated with. I used hwinfo64 to see all the compatible xmp profiles and timings hidden in my ram.
I'm assuming you ran Memtest and also an SSD diagnostic utility? I recently had a bad SSD give blue screens and icons disappear from the desktop.
@@SamJay223 I also have a feeling my board's the issue. Will also check its voltage. But so far, It's running at stock settings and I didnt change anything.
Also good idea to check for and repair corrupt system files using dism and sfc
@@cherby27 It can get frustrating troubleshooting issues like that. I almost bought another power supply because I was convinced it was the culprit.
I really like these video’s! Nice and clear, perfect for beginners! And it gives you a look what you guys are doing to test a system.
thanks for this video Jay hopefully i will find whats the problem and where is affecting my randomly unstable pc
should I be concerned about my PPT, CPU Power TDC, and EDC running at 100% during the test? I notice yours we’re staying very low!
Enjoyed & appreciated this video. I have A.D.D., a learning disability, & Aspergers, & try to understand what I can. My laptop CPU is 6-Core & it's been quite great. I might be able to have that AMD program you have there. & thought about going ahead & getting that stress test program (I'm forgetting what's called). I enjoy videos like this. Like the user office setup reaction videos & the 1on1 tutorial videos. These 1on1 videos are very helpful.
Always appreciate the easy explanations and instructions on how to get things up and running well.
This video has helped me so much. Thanks Jay, appreciate your work man!
Hi Jay, Excellent Video. Is there any tool or utility to test the NVME SSD?
I would imagine the manufacturer of the SSD has a diagnostic utility tool posted in the support section you can download. What brand of NVME do you have?
If you just want read/write speed crystaldisk will work
Memtest is one of the most underused tools I find... I can't tell you how many times in the last 15 years working on customer PCs that "act weird" an overnight run of memtest showed "bad memory" (or defective memory sockets)
Thank you Jay. Going to try it out today see where my pc is lacking. . Your the best man . Buddy just bought a set up and is asking me questions about it witch I'm not great at explaining stuff so I threw him your way. Told him your the best on you tube for information and know hows on anything snd everything in the pc world . Thank you again. Happy holidays!
11:38 Amd Smart-ass Memory
that one got me
Jay: "Can you imagine a 540A CPU Draw?"
Intel: "Hold my beer"
your video editing skills are superb, what a visual treat!
Thanks for this great video! I have been having random crashes where the pc just turns off for seemingly no reason, always when I'm at the desktop or using Chrome. I replaced the PSU, updated windows, still does it. A friend mentioned RAM may be an issue and mem test86. It's sp helpful to see all these tests like this, I will definitely be running all these tests on my pc asap!
I hope Joe enjoys his new computer!! I've found new inspiration to save for a new pc since I'm still running an older amd cpu, ddr 3 ram all with a 970. My computers done me good over the years but man is it showing its age.
My last rig was a FX 8350, 16GB 1888MHZ RAM with a RTX 2070. Finally saved up and got X570 board, 5900x CPU, 32GB of 3200 MHZ RAM but still kept the 2070. Was more than surprised how the 8350 was bottle necking the 2070, was a night and day difference.
@@blueblade455 funny enough I think I have an 8350 as well. I always forget but I'm almost 100% sure. I gotta get pn your level an upgrade a few parts
@@blueblade455 I came back to this video because I actually ended up buying a new pc. I wanted to make sure I knew what to do when I put it together. I checked the comments and realized I’ve been here before lol
I had a really weird problem recently and wondering if Jay would've been able to figure this one out, lol.
I bought a used Gigabyte GTX 1080 Aorus for an upcoming all Aorus build I'm putting together. Since I don't have all the parts for this build yet, I decided to at least test the card in an old AMD Phenom II rig that I've been using as a spare computer and now test machine. When I first started it up with the GTX 1080, the motherboard said it couldn't detect my SATA Crucial MX 100 256GB C drive. Never had this problem before. So I swapped it with another SSD and it was fine. So I tested the supposed bad SSD in my main daily driver computer using a USB adapter and the drive read fine. So I put the Crucial drive back in my test computer and was getting more or less the same problems with the addition of random crashes. Then after a few more failed boots it finally ran fine and was able to test the 1080 in at least one game. Now comes the really weird part. When I went to reposition the computer a little bit back further into the shelf I have for it, my screen went black and all my fans shot to full speed and the computer was not able to post after that point along with no beep codes either. So I was originally thinking that it must've been the GPU that was causing this problem ever since I installed it in the first place. So I tried another spare GPU and still the same thing. I tried that other SSD again, still no post. I even removed one RAM stick at a time till I completely removed all of them and again no post or beep codes. Cleared the CMOS, same thing of course. Last thing I checked was my power supply using a DVOM and backed probed all the connectors and verified all of the voltages, grounds and every possible connection was good. So now at this point I'm thinking it's gotta be the motherboard or CPU that's bad. Luckily I still had another old Phenom II motherboard and swapped it with still the same damn problem! Then I took a chance and ordered another used CPU with yet again still the freaking same result! Omg, I was almost pulling my hair out! Then it dawned on me, I finally remembered that I still have some old spare DDR3 2X4GB sticks of memory and swapped the sticks out then FINALLY the motherboard actually gave me some beep codes, whoo hoo! So to verify once more I put back all 4 of the old RAM sticks individually into each slot and got the no response issue as expected.
So my final conclusion was that the original problem was coincidentally the Crucial SSD decided to die at that very moment I started the computer with the GTX 1080 (which was not at fault) and it actually caused all 4 sticks of my RAM to go bad! Sounds crazy right? But ever since I left the 2 replacement sticks of RAM and the other replacement SSD in it's been running fine ever since. This problem had me going nuts for almost 2 weeks!
Lesson learned for me is to always back up your data and once there is a slightest clue of a failing drive, shut the computer down and immediately replace the suspecting bad drive ASAP! Well at least for an old Phenom II and SATA SSD setup. Till this day, I'm still trying to figure out how a bad SATA SSD drive can cause all memory sticks to fail. 🤔
@Dr Perun Oh yeah? How much time, experience and money have you spent working on computers? Go ahead, please gives a "brief" run down on your own resume.
@Dr Perun bro why u being so salty?
@Dr Perun getting a used card is very viable, especially in today's market. To many, pc gaming is merely a hobby and don't care about the specs to their computer, and many can't put as much money into their pc. Stop being a dick about who can or can't afford something, especially after us getting out of a pandemic.
@Dr Perun do you think once you replace a card its useless or something?
@Dr Perun Typical comment from a 12 yo. Usually when people points to low education, they are the one that needs the most.
Just when i think you have told us it all there you go and hit us up with more useful info. cheers to you and the team
Precision overclock was what was making my games crash after about 20 minutes of gameplay. This is due to poor air circulation in my small room, so pair that with the extra heat off precision overclocking and you’ve got yourself a problem. After I ran the exact tests that jay shows us I ended up resorting to Game Mode on Ryzen master and doing the same thing to my graphics card as jay did (same GPU as in vid luckily) since then I’ve had stable temps and stable gameplay. Thanks a lot for such a helpful video.
11:39 : ''AMD SmartAss Memory is enabled'' 😂😂😂
😂
"If you ever get around 95c".... 1 year and 1 7950x later...
Fairly new here, but I really appreciate your videos have been building PCs for years but you’ve taught me so much and just the short couple months. Keep it up
Okay this is crazy helpful, I’ve been wondering this for a while. Thank you so much!
Just run Microsoft Flying Simulator...
If only it wasn't so large
Jay: "could you imagine a 540A draw on a CPU?"
Intel: "write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!!"
that is due too the manufacturers Bios alterations allowing more power and less offset then recomended bye intel !!!! it was fixed shortly after release with a bios update .. these reviewers had the motherboards and cpu,s prior then their release dates . currently intel 11th and 12th gen cpus are far superior then what Ryzen or AMD has too date . the Ryzen 9 5950X was blown out of the water bye intels i9 12900k which is cheaper in price and has less cores !!!!
@@EpicGamingEct you know this is a joke based on the really high temperatures of the Intel 12th gen and the ever growing temps of each Intel generation? Not meant to be taken seriously lol
Hey Jay, I honestly haven't needed this video more than ever now. Thank you.
Excellent video ... the explanations were very useful and detailed.
Time to run some tests on my system.
Well done!
Jay, I'm sure you have been asked this, but what is normal voltage for a 3700x? I know I'm probably over thinking. I don't see any clear answers any place I've looked. According to HW info sometimes I see a max of 1.475. Thank you for all your excellent content. Happy Holidays!
1,475 it's a little bit high for daily use... It's probably on "auto" settings on the bios (maybe you have PBO active), should not be a problem if it's just a little spike, try testing it with a constant load, if in cinebench it's at 1.475 you should set the voltage yourself manually ASAP
Hey Jay, I think it's worth mentioning that the ability to loop the Uniengine Heaven benchmark is only available if you at least use the advanced version which costs money. I went into that under the assumption that the feature is included in the free version.
You can leave it running infinitely, just don't click benchmark...
Man, I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I didn’t know about MemTest86, and it was thanks to that tool that I found out that my RAM was dying/dead. Love the content man! Definitely going to keep coming back for more!
Thanks Jay. I’ve been building PCs for years and never had a definite way of stress testing. Your tutorials are fun easy to follow and very instructive
Also wish he did this test with the 5800x cause that cpu has a heat problem would love to see if Jay can find something to help with that
Update your bios, lots of newer bioses have fixed 5800x thermals. If that doesn't work or there's no updates, there are undervolting tutorials for the 5800x all over the internet.
5800x just runs hot to begin with. Anything 8 cores or over id recommend a dark rock 4 or larger air cooler, or 360 rad for. Bios updates have been released to help keep voltage lower for it, however it still just simply runs hotter for some reason.
@@deadly_mir Because the 5800x has all 8 cores getting a 105W TDP through just 1 CCX. The 5950x for example runs cooler because that 105W TDP is split between 2 CCXs. The high wattage bottlenecks the CCX in the 5800x and creates excess heat (it also doesn't help that the cores themselves are much smaller in 5000 series CPUs in general); this was just a poor design choice on AMD's part. That's why limiting the wattage and undervolting the 5800x produces a larger improvement in performance/thermals relative to other 5000 series CPUs. (Because the 5800x is less optimized than its sibling processors.)
Edit: Personally I can get away with a 5800x using a u12s Redux and a NZXT Easy Bake Oven h510 after undervolting (without losing performance really at all using pbo2) so if done right, the 5800x is very much an effective and powerful multitasking machine.
Thank you a thousand times over - been looking for a specific step-by-step guide like this for a long time - great job!!
Thank you jay this is a great help to test my new pc. I just build it and it’s my first build ever so thanks.
ive watched that what to do after building your pc like 50 times before i got my pc and now i got my pc up and working thanks to you
Great content Jay. Keep doing what you’re doing. 👍🏻
Thank you for the great content, Jay. Same to Phil- you two do amazing work and I'm sure there's also others involved.
I always kept my PC at high performance. Changing it to balanced now. Had no idea! Jay to the rescue!
This is exactly the type of video that I need Jayz, Thank you. I have a 5950x/3090fe that I built myself and I didn't even know about ryzen master!
Thank you for the memory setting tip!
I needed this video. I have been having a slight system error and I’m going to use this guide to hopefully fix it. My pc just decided to freeze occasionally. It’s been going on for a few months now, but it happens so randomly.
I didn't know about the memory speed thing and I have already built four pc's( you are the first I have heard talk about it and I have watched you and others like you for close to six years now)
Very useful information and practical tests to validate a system, new or old. Thank you
I built a new PC about a year ago, and I was going through the testing phase. All of the tests were fine, and short tests of the GPU worked as well. Longer tests kept failing at random times though and I'd get Blue Screens constantly. It took a while to diagnose the issue, but finally, it came down to an issue with the PCIe riser cable that came with my case. Turns out it was a PCIe Gen3 riser, and my mobo and GPU were both Gen4. I changed the PCIe mode on my mobo to PCIe Gen3 mode and have not run into any issues since. Obviously Gen3 is plenty capable of handling a 3070, so I'm happy with the resolution.
Loving the videos lately for Techmas! Keep up the great content!
I’ve had my pc for a year now and never stress tested it, however I use to be an editor so it’s a relief to know that I’ve technically tested the cpu. I use to think there was something wrong with it because I dealt with a lot of issues but it turned out to be the version of premier pro I was using because when I reverted I never saw any issues again.
Great videos Jay! TY. Been following and watching for some time.
This video was immensely helpful, thanks!
Outstanding Jay, thank you for this!
Thank you Jay for this video. I like to know which stress programs I can use. Since lately my kids have been moving from HS to college, and they are having me build them computers instead of just using what I already have on hand.
But like all my family, they call me with questions to see what's wrong.
jay this was a amazing useful video how stress test things. keep up the great work
Amazing content one more time. Last month I built my first PC tower with your videos and all tricks and tips and felt really nice have done it all "on my own". If you could please make another video how to hide totally a M2 SSD from another M2 SSD on the same motherboard that run two separate windows 10 systems so as to not mix documents or the programs from the one drive have access to the other.
Thank you for all the great videos!! ☺️
I ran a hour long cinebench furmark mix. Probably one of the best total system thermal tests. Gpu and cpu were both at 100%
Nice awesome vid Jay! Hmm appreciate you helping the casual pc builder
Learned alot from this video and it gave me an idea. As far as video ideas go; a video on the importance of keeping up to speed with the general health of your PC. Tempratures, stress testing (when having used the pc as daily driver for months/years) and other tools or useful tips. Both software and hardware (Dust kills pc's). If there is already a video on this, maybe a 2021/22 update? Keeping your PC healthy to extend its life might one of the most important things nowadays. *angrily points at shortages of chips*
Great stuff Jay! Thank you for this 🙏🏾
