I am running a 13900K on a Noctua and an MSI 4090 Sprim X Liquid and have very reasonable temps. 

The case (Velox)  just gets warm on the top where the gpu fans exhaust when they are on and that happens when playing only. The temps right now (HWMonitor) for the GPU Hotspot 46.2C hi, 43.4C low.

The cpu Package 71.0C hi, 42.0C low, P-cores 79.0C hi, 39.0C low and E-cores 52.0C hi, 40.0C low.

Have not had any temperature issues at all. Runs cool and quiet!

Your OC settings are stored in your UEFI/BIOS. Check your manual on how to access and where it is stored. Once you get them, Save and Exit. If you have problems, do as CretÆ posted. DS will be more than happy to get it back. No issues with using your pc as it is. 

Check Nvidia manually for the proper driver. The latest right now should be 551.76.

Hello, My company just purchased a Digital storm computer Velox PRO with an i9-14900K assus motherboard Prime Z790-PWIFI, RTX 4090.

I just installed 3D Max, that is my main software, and tested some rendering task using V Ray.

When I start the render the computer is running at ~5.5Ghz but when the render task start it only stay at that speed for a few second then it drops to 3.6Ghz.

My preview machine was a Dell workstation that did run at the same speed (Xeon 3.5Ghz).

We were expecting this newer machine would give us better performance.

Why is the CPU Throttling that much? Is there a way to keep it at 5 Ghz? forgot to mention the system is water cooled.

What do GPU sensors 1 and 2 show? I am not familiar with ICUE's monitoring, but I'm willing to bet that #3 is the "GPU Hotspot" measurement, which in that case with a 4090 88c isn't necessarily anything to worry about for a hot spot, so long as it's not more than ~20c above the other GPU sensors. There's so much variability here based on environment and specific usage that it's hard to give exact numbers on temps.

As for the PC being a space heater, yep, looking at your specs that's about par for the course. You can take steps to assist with that, such as frame-rate locks and power limiting if you want, but at the end of the day this is still going to be a nice little heat pump compared to your older system. 

Congrats and welcome to DS.

That's quite the system.

If you have coolant in the loop, can you tell if it's flowing? Otherwise, it's more than likely that the pump failed. The cpu will not be toast since it will shut down automatically if thermals go dangerous. You can also check the radiators to make sure they are not so dirty that no air is going through but that is unlikely. You can tap the pump lightly to see if it will run.

Make sure all the wires are hooked up.

Good luck and do keep us posted.

Meller!!

Good to see you. Maybe we'll get a DST4ME post!

Bro running monitors requires damn near nothing at all, especially if you have a dGPU with more than say 2GB of VRAM.


The part that will start to hinder your performance is when you have to do 3D rendering (IE playing a game). Your desktop, browsers, even video is all 2D.  That's nothing. iGPU's struggle with playing games and running video on a second monitor because of memory restrictions typically.

With a 3070, you could run a nice UW 1440p monitor to game on, and a couple of 4K HDR monitors for media consumption and never notice a hiccup in performance.

Extra monitors is nothing at all. Don't over think it. It'll be fine.

Congrats and welcome to DS.

Your monitor is a 1080 60Hz (according to the specs you posted) and it will not go above that in fps.
