That might be but I honestly think you are drawing the wrong conclusion from this scenario. I would test my XMP with prime95 for at least 1h, better many more. It might be, that your XMP settings are borderline stable and some calculations make it tip over. That can usually be corrected by raising the DRAM voltage "slightly", say from 1.35v to 1.375v, no 1.45v needed. XMP is a Harware thing, your DCS crashing is a software thing, they can only correlate with each other over unstable DRAM timings causing your RAM to fail. Luckily, your RAM does not yet cause a BSOD because that, over time, leads to data corruption on your disc. You may get familiar with "sfc /scannow" and "DISM" command.

Target Software Errors

Likely the device is faulty then !?? -
Target Software Errors
BitMaster replied to speed-of-heat's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Make a new user account, load Target and the profile from there and see if the problem also recreates itself in a the new "AppData" folder structure. If it doesn't, you'll know what to wipe. -
Track-IR has a native poll rate of 120hz and there are many threads here in this forum from the past that debate about Track-IR causing micro-stutter / jitter when looking left/right when the FPS is not 120 or an equal devider of it, like your 60. So according to this, with your 60Hz locked and assuming you can ALWAYS deliver 60fps, than TiR shouldnt be to blame. Try locking your max FPS with Riva Tuner Statistics Server ( part of Afterburner ). So that DCS is locked to the same refresh rate that your monitor can deliver and in sync with TiR. That should eliminate any stutter that may originate from TiR's poll rate. You can define a key combo to activate/deactivate the lock, I use it to. When my kids game I lock it to 60fps and save 120w GPU and when I play DCS I do both and must say, I dont really see microstutter above 60 fps, but I have G-Sync as well, that may iron some out other can't and thus have visible or noticable stutters. It's very much a matter of perception at some point too. 60fps is ok and the entry level for smooth gameplay but more fps means less input lag, less smear when reading gauges and moving the head ( that's where you will see a BIG difference between 60fps, 90, 120 and 144fps. Read the cockpit dials and move your head, amazing difference in clarity. Is it vital...no. It's important not to ditch below 60fps under all circumstances, that's harder to achieve depending on HW and settings.

no way, you are mislead

Vulkan's mGPU might be a thing if implemented as advertised*. Cross-vendor, cross-SKU, cross-everything and it should still work & benefit the experience. I just have my doubts. *Vulkan itself and the app devs

Upgrading from i5-4690K to i7-4790K. Worth it?
BitMaster replied to Pavlin_33's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
200€ is way too much for a 4790k ! It should be 50€ at most -
Upgrading from i5-4690K to i7-4790K. Worth it?
BitMaster replied to Pavlin_33's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Agreed, it only makes sense if this 4790 costs you next to nothing and maybe you independently from this have to re-paste the CPU anyway, that's a 2014 era CPU...that old paste has dried out years ago The CPU is actually still ok, I manage and built one still running 24/7 on Ubuntu Server as an Acronis Backup SSH target machine. It runs and runs and runs... -
FWIW, imho an AMD system is easier to handle and maintain than Intel chipset based systems. I run both myself and service a few dozen PC's at client sites. The AMD systems are just way easier to update with chipset drivers. It's a QoL feature but for some that may make a difference when finding a decision. Actually, I cannot recall a single Intel system that I sold since Ryzen came out, really zero Intel...and I am no fan boy of either one, I just buy what I think is best and I only sell what I trust. But tbh, I don't sell to customers anymore, it's only a BIG family and LOTS of friends that I still do actually build a rig for. If a customer needs 5 or 10 new Clients I give Dell a call, no kidding. So it's been like 10 systems since then, but they are all happy, no complaints and easy maintenance for me via TeamViewer.

One more "Building a new PC" - RTX 4070 and 2K
BitMaster replied to Nazgûl's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I also tend to say NO to GPU's that have mined for a longer period of time where you don't know the conditions, which make all the difference from 1st hand experience. My 1080ti has mined about half of it's cost back when I got it, that was part of the plan and it worked out. Even if the card dies today it lasted long enough to justify the mining. But I have seen cards that died in half the time which also where used for mining for about as long as mine ( 4-6 months ). The difference was cooling, undervolting and underclocking as pointed out above. But still then, our consumer AIB's are not designed for 24/7 full tilt usage, a Nvidia Workstation or Ai AIB is designed for 24/7 non stop torturing. It's always a risc if you stress consumer hardware beyond it's design limits. Choose your hardware wisely.- 29 replies

We are quitting on nuclear power stations here in Germany ! Are you interested ? Should be OK for SLI too Nothing beats a personal stockpile of Uranium.

No no, I did not refer to new or used, my POV is independent from this. If you buy something too small for your needs just to save some 20-30% you might end up buying something that doesn't work for the intended purpose. Sometimes you can fix it like selling the "wrong" GPU and get a "right" one but if the CPU is too old, you may end up buying a new CPU that also needs a new mobo, which may force you to buy new RAM as well, ..then it quickly becomes a bad deal to have paid less and get the cheaper option that won't deliver. It's not a new wisdom, I bet we all have made that mistake a few times in our lives with this or that purchase, ending up buying again. It pays to invest in research before you open the wallet.

LMAO

Lol true… Windows icon cache can act up sometimes, I remember many issues on XP, 7 and some in 10, also together with start button and menu. In 11 it seems more stable and reliable

... if you play DCS on Android...LoL

Is this a good computer to start DCS with?
BitMaster replied to SlimSim's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
No matter how you turn it, there will be s a steep learning curve ahead of you, for DCS and for the rig itself. What will help you gather knowledge over time is THIS forum, hands down. Read this forum for a few years and you will be a lot more competent than you can imagine. LED.... the modern nightmare. Turn them off and call it a day ! -
The answer to all questions: "Two Weeks" Highly philosophical
-
CPU's don't solve a GPU limitation, you can iron out some stutter here and there and enjoy more fluent gameplay, which you only measure in smiles but not fps.

Likely a reverse of airflow could happen, stalling the engine. That's usually the problem with Turbines, airspeed and throttle changes in the mix.
-
According to multiple statements here in this Forum, YES. If it is worth the expense depends on your budget. You can offset the expense by selling your 5600X
-
That would be the wrong choice imho, if, then I would go for a 5800X3D instead.

You better create your own thread for this task. This up front: Router + NAS in one OS is a BAD IDEA first off. Break the router and immediately have the jewels too, not good. You could use Proxmox and run them as VM's, one OS for each task, but given that you ask for help, Proxmox is likely above your skills. Keep them as separate devices, best advice I can give you, performance and security wise.
