The TPM is a good security feature. Fite me.
That is one thing I need to upgrade when prices drop for decent 1440p monitors. Still don't have one lol.
What are your specs in total? Hard drive, ram type, CPU, motherboard, GPU? PSU even?
You can buy brand new 180+ Hz 1440p 27" monitors for under $200, sometimes even under $150.
Your system just looks old. Solid but old. The ram speed could be upgraded to DDR4 3200. That is cheap and easy and would give you a performance boost. I'd go for 32GB tbh with how cheap DDR4 is now. The core is a 5 series, but solid.
so is the covid vaccine, it protects your health against the chinese lab leak. go get it now.
Nigga he's asking for troubleshooting BSOD's not upgrade advice.
I had a problem similar to this years ago and was never able to figure out the issue. You really need to be able to swap components to figure out the problem.
He's saying when both the core and ram throttle up, he crashes. It sounds like he needs more breathing room for newer games.
If that's the case how come my spare system with a 4690K 16GB DDR3. and a GTX 970 doesn't BSOD on new games.
There are millions of combinations of PC hardware. Your system works. Cool. His doesn't. Something has gone wrong. Unless you have a better idea, that's my recommendation. Yeah he can take it to a shop. They will likely fix it. Or he can dick around on his own. I saw a potential bottleneck so I pointed it out.
I actually had one of the early 3600X's with a buggy memory controller. Hopefully you do not, as your warranty is likely expired (I barely managed to get mine sent in with two days to spare). The problem manifested when I upgraded my motherboard to a BIOS version with a certain level of AGESA, it made the whole system extremely unstable.
A good use of it I've seen is anti-cheat where games have started requiring a modern integrated TPM for HWID which is nearly impossible to spoof. I imagine there's going to be a minor crisis in the secondhand market in the near future where people buy 'cheap' CPUs off ebay and craigslist only to discover that their CPU has been HWID banned from the major multiplayer games using TPM fingerprinting.
4K 240Hz OLED is about as good as you can get for a display right now. I picked up a Gigabyte FO32U2P when it was on sale. even though it's the same refresh rate as my previous monitor it looks and feels a lot nicer. Shame about it killing my framerate down to about 60-70 in most games though.
I opted for a 27-inch 1440p panel instead as I have a separate 4K60 panel for doing actual work on. My 4080 can pretty handily do 4K in most games especially if I opt for DLSS but it's hard to tell on a screen this size.
If stress testing multiple components at once causes it to crash could it be a PSU issue? Is it more or less likely to crash depending on how many devices are plugged into the usb ports? Are you able to use compressed air to blow dust out of the PSU?
Well, my 3090Ti can handle 4K for what I play. I didn't have to reduce settings on any games, but then I don't play very many games with things like RT or that are on UE5.
PSU maybe. The post earlier about the 3600X memory controller is definitely the most convincing to me though.
I'll take the bait. For whom? The average user has no use for TPM. It is, in fact, detrimental, unless it's not your device but your company's, that is the only place where they have a purpose, so they can manage those keys for not-very-much-yours Windows installation. TPMs are meaningless for the average desktop user, and they make features such as BitLocker less secure (guess what? every Windows encryption break so far has been thanks to those little chips). Microshart Wangblows requires one with 11 so that they have a baseline of hardware to work and implement all their anti-consumer, privacy-invading, three-letter agencies welcoming "features" (such as Recall, soon coming to every machine ready to spy everything you do and send it back home never with efficiency never seen before!). You're surrendering your device to faceless entities that have access to signing keys you aren't supposed to meddle with. Also works great for DRM and all that, if they ever want to go down that route.
Based. Once you go high fps suddenly even 60 fps looks janky.
The last issue I recall with the TPM was because HP and DELL were reusing codes like fucking retards. The chip worked. HP and DELL were lazy fucks.
