It really isn't.

except we have consumer laws for a reason. things are tested and you're just talking out your ass.

lots of things have already happened with a basic internet search lmao

but sure you build COMPUTERS not test cpu before they hit the market.

Yes, talking out of my 30 years of PC building ass.

I don't know where you live but I've not known anyone to use stress tests on their pre-builds before selling them. They run basic tests like windows memory diagnostics.

My CPU is manually set to 54/40/45 at 1.3 volts which is a slight OC for a 13600k. My GPU is manually set at 130% Power drawn OC to 2.2Ghz core though I can only get that in winter.
My PSU provides 83 Amps on the 12v Line.
Max pull on CPU is 180 watts. Max temp 78c
Max pull on my 3080 24gb is 430 watts. Max temp 72c
Air cooled system.

How about your manual set specs?
I used to be A+, Network+, MCSE, CCNA certified. I'm trying to help you.
I get it. A part broke and no max gaming. I have backups of many parts for that reason.

Hell, I still have a Cyrix CPU and Voodoo 1 Card. Most would have to look up Cyrix.

Boutiques do real actual stress tests. If you're getting something from Puget, it's been actually genuinely tested for 12h.

If you get something from Cyberpower, they say they do a burn in test, they also say their burn in test is 30 minutes.

That's where a lot of the confusion is - the general consumers thinks their system was 'tested' but what really happened was a 30 minute imaging and update session and if the PC didn't die during it - it 'passed'.


Ultimately real burn in testing for system integrators is not viable due to the very cost focused prebuilt market. If you work for an integrator, you are expected to take a build sheet and have a PC plugged in and getting the image in under an hour and already working on the next build.

Customer expectations are not in line with the realities of the industry.

hey OP! I am sorry for your fried gpu and disgusted by the community here once again.
Has anyone ever tried to restrict PoE to a limited number of cores to use? I can tell you, it is tricky. And I can imagine, it is the same with the gpu.

I had help by a it-guy and he couldn't explain, why the game kept using all the cores my pc had to offer (and constantly overheating the whole system while doing so) no matter, what sudo-sudo-things he did. Problem that results is, that the better your pc is, the more overheating you get, bc the game has more cores to use.
I ended up playing it on an older pc, lol.

Telling this,as said, bc I can imagine, the game does the same with restrictions set to the gpu. just my 2 cent.

If your system overheats when all cores are at 100%, you have a cooling problem.

If your GPU overheats at 100% at full load, you have a cooling problem.

crypto rigs ran GPUs and CPU (for monero) at 100% for YEARS without issues.

If your pc can't run at 100% for hours,days,weeks,months - it's a problem with your PC.

The End.

I mentioned in this topic there's been a trend with motherboard manufacturers setting their boards by default to allow a CPU to eat as much wattage and voltage as it wants.

It's been a thing for around a decade now. If you do not have a cooling problem. This is likely the issue. You have to manually set your multipliers and voltage like it's the 90's again.

You can either manually set it like I do or the main culprit is a BIOS config option called "CPU Line Calibration Config" or similar. They set it by default to Mode 10 which is insane. Generally you can start by setting it to 8. Then go lower and lower depending on the CPU.

If I recall MSI and Asus also have these setting in reverse of each other. I personally just didn't feel like messing with these auto calibrations due to overshoot so I set it manual.

Thx for your answer! I am not that deep into IT and let someone else try to fix it...and the dephts he went into on my pc were something, I would never touch myself. I saved your comment, probably it will help in the future :D
