X570 has only been around for roughly 3 years, so it's too soon to know how well it actually lasts over time. That temperature is within normal bounds and well below maximum, so you'll just have to...

Yeah, the X570 chipset runs fairly hot. Mid to high 60s isn't unusual.

Games, even heavy ones, are not going to be particularly good at stressing the bus bandwidth to test for some type of power saving via bus reduction. GPU-Z has a tool which claims to provide the...

I suggest a riser cable (e.g. LINKUP do pretty good PCIe 4.0 ones) and front mounted GPU. That's probably better for thermals anyway, as the GPU has more space to exhaust and isn't exhausting...

One more thought. I certainly wouldn't mind if there was a choice of which temperature to use. Ideally that choice would include the water temperature (it has a sensor for that), which is better...

Right now, it only uses the CPU temperature, not the package temperature. Personally, it really doesn't bother me, with a 5950X running over 200W peak and a Ryujin II 360; I get plenty of cooling...

That particular part number is not on the ROG Crosshair X670E Hero Memory QVL. Currently, there are no 4 DIMM configs on the QVL; that's the "socket support" column, which would be "1,2,4" for a 4...

On the AC Update Center (Version: 5.3.4.0), under ROG Ryujin II, I have:



ASUS framework service
Version: 3.1.1.0


ASUS Core SDK
Version: 2.00.16

Yeah, half speed is more or less sufficient to keep even the 9-series processors under control in normal use. Something isn't working properly though, if you can't get full speed. It's difficult to...

It shouldn't need much force to plug onto the header. Just make sure the blank pin on the connector and header is aligned. It should fully cover the height of the header pins when installed. It's...

I have the pump rpm in an info page on the Ryujin display, so can see the reported speed there in fixed mode.

I can certainly set my Ryujin II to 2800 rpm (in fixed RPM mode, or via the smart mode curve) and it reports running at around that speed. It does take a second or two to respond to changes in the...

The front panel ARGB in the Helios is the simple "gen 1" type, so doesn't talk back to the motherboard for AC to detect (that's "gen 2"). The motherboard just sends RGB patterns blindly. There's...

Yes, the X and XE processors were the HEDT offering. Despite the very similar marketing names, the HEDT processors were a completely different family from the mainstream processors. They were cut...

Can't really say much about it. It looks like there's a bit of crud or damage or something between two of the gold pads, but the resolution of the image is too low to really see what it is. If it's...

X299 is HEDT, but both AMD & Intel have abandoned HEDT for now. AMD more or less won the HEDT war with Threadripper 3000, Intel gave up, then AMD also exited the HEDT segment with 5000 series (not...

Mixing different DIMMs can be problematic, as can more than 2 DIMMs in total (it's unclear if you were trying a 3 or 4 DIMM configuration). If you really need/want to go beyond 2x32, 4 matched DIMMs...

There are no 2x64 or 4 DIMM configurations currently on the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero Memory QVL. The "Socket support" column is important, telling you how many sticks are validated, and is currently...

Enable "Run Steam when my computer starts" in Steam > Settings > Interface.

It has nothing to do with your hardware or OS. Steam takes a while to start from cold. Enabling that option runs the...

It shouldn't need excessive force to insert. The connector on the left doesn't have the same keying as the socket. Both of my 4+4 cables are in use and difficult to extract for examination, so I...

Those 4+4 cables certainly work fine for ATX_12V 8 pin on the Crosshair VIII Extreme. They can be a bit fiddly due to having to hold the two halves together to use them as 8 pin, and get them...

There were two 4+4 EPS cables included with my Thor 1200P; those should work for the 8 pin EPS connectors. If you need additional cables or extensions, ASUS recommend CableMod. There may be a...

That's probably your CPU temperature. There's a BIOS setting to enable/disable that mode on the X570 boards, I'd guess X670 has it as well. When enabled, you get Q codes during POST, then CPU...

I would stick with the recommended screws, just don't go after every last thread when tightening if it gets tight before the threads run out.

The top image does look like possible pin damage, the bottom not so much (although there are a couple of spots that could be damage). Can't say for sure, as the image resolution is too low, and a...
