Yes, moving the 3D V-Cache below the CCD had an impact on lowering temperatures. They successfully managed to significantly reduce CPU temperature, which I can confirm.

Temporary location while I installed windows and got the wifi drivers.

Any must doā€™s in bios?

You forgot to mention the model of your motherboard, CPU and RAM.

Also, keep in mind that your GPU might bend over time due to the lack of a GPU holder.

There is a holder itā€™s at the back and it connects and uses 2 of the motherboard screw holes and then a frame attaches and runs along the end of the gpu. You can see it in the pic, right side where the little hole is thatā€™s the frame.

After zooming in did I notice that you have a Gigabyte graphics card, so itā€™s likely that an anti-sag bracket was included in the package, just like the one I have from Gigabyte.

Even though I have the anti-sag bracket installed, I also use 2x GPU holders for extra support.

I recently had the X670E Tomahawk motherboard. I suggest you start by updating BIOS and after the restart, select the EXPO profile for RAM.

Thanks, yeah I will update bios tomorrow.

I think the bracket included is very sturdy myself, so wonā€™t bother adding anything else.

Also, if you donā€™t need virtualization, you can disable IOMMU and SVM in BIOS.

I have no idea what that is, off I go to research it. :laughing:

Iā€™ve got a Gigabyte 4090 which came with an anti-sag bracket but it wouldnā€™t fit on my motherboard, which was annoying. I did a hack mod using a cable tie instead.

My new Lian Li case came with an adjustable GPU support bracket built into the case. That works really well, so Iā€™m not tempted to dig out the Gigabyte bracket (if I could even find it). I think this is a thing thatā€™s common in new cases.

Iā€™d lay 50-1 odds you donā€™t need it. :wink:

Virtualization is essential for running virtual machines or software like VirtualBox. It allows a single physical machine (your PC) to host multiple isolated operating systems or environments.

edit
Virtualization also plays a role in systems like Windows 11, particularly for security features such as Core Isolation.
With Core Isolation enabled, additional features like Memory Integrity are activated to prevent malicious code from being injected into high-security processes.
