A reminder from Life to you:

Stay the course! You´re not lost.

Yo-ho-ho, Shipmate! Captain Life here.

You are on course towards everything you desire.

Every wave and gust nudges you

towards the horizon you're meant to explore.

There's a current beneath you, quietly and persistently streamlining your course,

You're not lost or stuck at sea; you're sailing smoothly towards the harbour you're destined to reach. Stay the course

P.S. What did the sea monster eat for lunch? Fish and ships!

The original post: /r/overclocking by /u/Electrical_Rice_4191 on 2025-01-19 13:02:41.

I have a strange situation with my Ryzen 7500f processor.

My CPU cores frequency jumps from ~5050 to 4000 MHz during FPU test in Aida64. There is a moment when all cores have 5GHz (1 screen), but after a second the frequency of 1-3 cores drops to 4GHz (2 screen), and so on in a circle. Without FPU the frequency is stable.

I know the FPU test is very voracious, but my temperatures are perfectly fine. Maybe this is normal behavior, but I was helping a friend build a PC and on his 8400f the frequency was stable in this test.

Asrock bios have a set of profiles. Right now the profile is PBO, Tjmax 85, CO -20. I also tried just PBO, as well as profiles with lower Curve Optimizer value (-30, -40), but the situation does not change, by feelings with lower CO drops are even worse.

I thought maybe it's the consumption limits, because according to HWMonitor the CPU doesn't consume more than ~75w. But if I set CPU Boost Clock Override to +200MHz, the consumption will be 90w, drops will remain similar, only from ~5250 to 4200. I also updated the BIOS from 3.06 to 3.16, and inserted an additional 4pin on the CPU, because initially I inserted only 8pin (the manual says that the additional 4pin is not necessary).

What I haven't tried yet is reinstalling Windows. I'm using the same OS that I had on my previous Intel system with 1151 socket and was very surprised that it turned on and worked without any problems. But that shouldn't affect it, right?

Config

  • Motherboard: Asrock B650 Pro RS
  • Processor: Ryzen 7500f
  • RAM: 2x XPG 6000 CL30 16gb (AX5U6000C3016G-DTLABBK) with EXPO
  • GPU: RTX 4070 Gigabyte Windforce (great card btw)

So I have a question and a request.

  • Is it normal to have such a frequency drop in AIDA FPU, when you don't seem to be within any limits?
  • Please advise on basic settings to improve Ryzen 7500f. For example, the CO setting looks like a musthave for any Ryzen CPU, it greatly reduces temperature and has no effect on productivity. There is probably more to it than that. Before that I had an I5 6400 with BCLK OC on a Z170-P and an I7 7700. There were a lot less settings, so I'm a bit confused)

All cores 5GHz

Some cores drop to 4GHz

Hello, everyone! I recently stumbled upon an intriguing concept: using 'potions' for self-care and restoration, much like characters in our favorite games and stories. This isn't about literal potions, but rather activities or practices that rejuvenate us mentally, physically, and spiritually. Here are some thoughts to kick off our discussion:

  1. Health Potions: These might be activities that benefit your physical well-being, like exercise or healthy eating. What are your go-to practices for physical rejuvenation?
  2. Mana Potions: These are activities that recharge your mental energy. Perhaps reading, puzzles, or meditation. What mental 'potions' do you rely on?
  3. Spirit Potions: Actions that uplift your spirit, like spending time with loved ones or engaging in creative pursuits. How do you lift your spirits when you're feeling down?

Incorporating these 'potions' into our routines can help prevent burnout, maintain health, and keep a positive outlook. But really, how do you balance these restorative practices with the demands of daily life? What works for you, and what challenges do you face in keeping up with your self-care 'potions'? Let's share tips, experiences, and perhaps even 'recipes' for our favorite potions!

From early 2023 until about August or September I (23M) would go through phases of extreme motivation/confidence, and phases of extreme depression. Throughout even the depression/low motivation phases I would still get shit done and go to the gym everyday.

But now After August or September I haven't been able to get back to the good phases again and I can probably count on one hand how many days I had the "I'm him" mentality since then. Worst part is, I can't even bring myself to get things done or go to the gym anymore. I've also seemingly completely given up on dating even though throughout the year until July or August I would at least semi-regularly go on dates with women but now because of the lack of confidence and motivation I just can't be bothered to talk to anyone, message anyone, or even open a dating app.

This bad mindset I can't seem to get out of also changed my social media life because I can't be bothered to post anything on my Instagram story. Before, I would at least once or twice a week post something what I'm doing, my dogs, or just myself, but now can't because of the lack of confidence. I liked posting occasionally on my story because for me it was a good way for people to contact me and it was pretty common for people to reply to them and talk or go out with someone.

Any tips on how to break this downward spiral? It's legit gotten so bad and I need to pull out of this.

I love making lists and setting goals. However, today I couldn’t add a recruiter to LinkedIn (I’m job hunting) and discovered that I company I applied to has horrible employee reviews, and those two things made job hunting feel even more impossible. Plus we are back to work today and I was not jazzed about that.

It derailed my productivity for HOURS. Didn’t go to the gym, didn’t work on other stuff on my list. How do I keep hopelessness from ruining my productivity?

I’m not kidding, make use of your longing to live. Everyday before going to sleep, look back at your day and think “If this was my last day, then what I did today, was it worthwhile?” I heard about this technique while listening to Sadhguru some time back and it’s amazing how I’ve stopped wasting my time scrolling on Instagram or any other way. I have started living, improving myself everyday, trying to live my best life before I die!

Read to start your new year strong

You think that the possibility of you changing for the better is like winning the lottery — you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning before it happens.

Everyday is the same thing. Scroll till your brain is fogged. Smoke till your brain is fried. Beat off till you’re numb. Then you think “I can’t change no matter how much I try.” Sounds familiar?

I won’t sit here and pretend I know the source of your issues but I will tell you one thing. This year went by fast, and next year is gonna go by even faster. And everyday, you go back and forth between fixating on the finish line, and losing sight of it. Between being fixated on your worry-free future but also losing sight of what your future can hold for you. And before you can finish a blink, the inevitability of time creeps up on you in the form of crippling regret and sadness.

“I should’ve” “If only I” “No matter what I do, I can’t stop”

A lot of you believe you can’t get disciplined but forget one simple thing. Some were blessed with discipline, but most had to build it. You are not an exception. You have to be delusional enough to believe you can change.

Delusional? Yes, delusional. If change to you is as likely as getting struck by lightning, then let change be the lightning that strikes twice. Be so delusional that change in your mind is more impossible than changes in reality. Be so delusional to the point where you believe you will defy the odds time and time again. Chance is a construct and lucky is an idea, but your choices are a defining factor that will determine the quality of your life.

The only thing I’m asking you to be in 2024, 2025, or whatever year you read this, is delusional. Make the idea of change in your mind more impossible than it actually is so you can realize that your new self is more attainable than you think. Two days ago, I made a post here asking for advice. Taking that advice to heart, I came to an epiphany. Now, I sit here, wild enough to believe that I can speak these words to power, and influence a good amount of your to change your lives through an unwavering belief in yourselves. Who am I to sit here and believe that my words can change you? A delusional mf.

Be so delusional that you actually believe that you can wake up at 6am. Be so delusional that you believe that you can cut off social media for a week, start that business idea, lose 30lbs, or change your life.

It starts off small. “There’s no way on this earth I can bring myself to drink 2 water bottles.” Then it’s “No way in hell I make my bed before the day is over.” Then you graduate to “Absolutely no shot that I quit tik tok for 6 hours” Being this delusional about the small things builds this scar tissue you get from fighting the war within yourself.

The funny thing about delusion is, once you start to contradict these delusions by your actions, you start to believe that “impossible” doesn’t apply to you. Your dreams start to get bigger and your delusion is a source of motivation since you’ve proved yourself wrong before and you can do it again.

So when you make those resolutions today, make sure you have the audacity to write “be delusional”. Love.

I have adhd and have been battling depression for a couple years. I want to start treating the adhd with actions and mindset shifts and I'm having a hard time navigating first steps. I usually go to therapy but am not currently able to at the moment. I know what lifestyle changes need to happen, but I find myself so inhibited to actually make moves. I don't understand it. I'm not looking to start any meds.

Can anyone help with some starter steps/advice? I don't know where or how to start.

M36 - Divorced and commitment phobic- lost on how to end this cycle of modern dating

I am lost in life , have commitment phobia since my teenage years- have been lucky to meet amazing women in life, best experiences of my life. But for one reason or the other as soon as at shit starts getting real I chicken out. It pains me out so much that I have never been able to commit. I want to believe I am not a bad human being and the two exes I said no to to commit I feel bad for all the pain I passed on to them. I have had my share of bad karma and girls rejecting me in last few years.

I want to move past all the commitment phobia and really want to build a family now in 2024. I met a decent girl two months ago we are seeing each other - things are okay- she is amazing human, close to family and ambitious in her career but she is not that attractive( I am sorry if I hurt anyone with that comment- just what I feel ). I obviously don’t know how to be in a successful relationship and I fear I am not head over heels with her like I was in my last relationship. I feel that might bother me in future. My biggest fear is if I commit to her and we become exclusive what if I start feeling that I don’t love her and it was mostly to fill the void in life.. I don’t think anyone else can answer this question but any advice how tackle this And get over this phobia.

I don’t want to break her heart - is it okay if I share my feelings with her and build our relationship ( if it is meant to be it ll happen)

Any advice will be appreciated my intent is to build my life with someone who want to build with me and vice versa.

I hope and pray I can get over fears and by next year I am settled
