most 2700x have issues hitting 4.2, meanwhile most 9700k/9900k can easily hit 5ghz
you said ryzen has higher overclocks
I was talking about your own example
then how is 3.9 higher than 4.5?
since i was talking about single core scores
most i managed to get on my 2600 is 4050mhz which is 150mhz over turbo
my husband managed to reach 4700mhz on his 6700k which is 500mhz over turbo
max turbo doesn't count, as its not applied on all cores
yeah, and?
so how is the percentage of improvement higher on ryzen when it can barely go beyond its rated turbo clock?
you see what im trying to say?
because you have to take the base clocks, and not the turbo clocks, as its not applied on all cores
yeah, but thats not how it works
you dont care about turbo clock when you oc....
because you also have to think about power draw limitations, thermal limitations... and all the cores might not be equal
turbo clock is a point of reference as to how much its 'safe' to oc
Clock speed doesn't matter lol, you can't use that as a comparison
Reason why Intel chips have such high clock speeds is because that's the only way for them to gain higher performance
Either way, I'll be looking forward to the benches, as I'm pretty sure the AMD chips will be better value and will also be better for games as they move to using multiple cores
Also not forgetting that Sony are using AMD for the next generation Playstation, and those improvements can be had on PC games as well due to them using the same architecture
ryzen will probably keep their great price/perfs ratio, but only if you use x470 mobos... the new x570 ones are expensive af
mobo prices already leaked here on a few store websites
strix x570-f is about 40% more expensive than strix x470-f
3800x seems to be around 400 euros (19% vat included)
I've got a website that already lists the 5 ryzen coming out on sunday
and x570 mobos aren't expected to cost less than 200€ in France
470€ for the ryzen 7 3800X, 20% VAT included... but the seller usually makes bigger margins than average, so it should cost 450 or 460€
Anyway, i wanna get the Energy Star logo, my childhood about waiting this logo for playing cs 1.5 and gta vice city :D Good old days...
Guys when I get my cpu, should I buy one of them anti static straps ?
yea that would be a good idea
and wear shoes with rubber soles if your on carpet and use a plastic table
@spiral yew what about a wooden table
It is a shitty line-up, i think everyone knew it from the start
^^^^^
I mean, almost everyone
What do you mean ?
Ping
Pingu
You bought a second hand CPU directly from intel?
They don’t do that? Nani?
Bad lineup of GPU’s from AMD
Ohhhh
Bad product line
AMD's Navi
I thought you were talking about me
lol no
Anyway, my old cpu was a Pentium G4560
No I'm not
Idle, its ok
When it comes to games
Especially since it was bought 3rd party
85 is the limit for intel
They automatically slow down performance after that
It’s intel technology
Well, when I get a better cooler that temp should stay down to 60
Or so you hope
Its wierd
Becusse my old cpu never got that hot
Only with this one it reached 80 degrees
Probably because of performance increase
I dont think I did anything wrong with putting thermal paste
It shouldn't be running that hot at all
Check with CPU-Z to make sure you weren't sold a fake
whats the cooler you're actually using pingu?
He could’ve just optimised it weirdly @wide temple
@gritty fjord You ready for the British GP next week?
@agile ermine standard stock CPU cooler
@wide temple how do I know if I've been sold a fake?
@hasty nova if you're using the stock intel cooler it explains why you're running at 80°C
intel cooler is garbage
Yea but the thing is with my old Pentium G4560 I could run GTA V and I would never get those temps or that roar from the cpu cooler I'm hearing with the new cpu
because thats a pentium...
The stock cooler is LOUD, its just that it never had to cool as hard before
What thermal paste did you use?
Its called hainziye
But that doesn't make any sense that a 2 core cpu runs better than a 4 core i5 ?
What do you mean by runs better?
The temps were much lower
Think about it logically, the new CPU you have has more processing power, therefore it'll generate more heat
The cooler you have can also only cool to its thermal limit
I'm thinking about taking it apart again and re apply the paste
Ok I'm going to open up cpu z
Well...
It's not a fake
Looks like I need a new cpu cooler then
Shame, I really want to get into some games, but if the cpu cooler is on the rev line on the Menu screen of Squad then I dont think it's a good idea to take it into a full game
I honestly think that it's not the cooler but the thermal paste you're using
You have an non overclockable processor and you're hitting such high temps
Bearing in mind that this is the same cooler Intel shipped with retail units of the CPU you have
Buy some Kyronaut or MX4, its super cheap (less than £5)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thermal-Grizzly-Kryonaut-thermal-grease/dp/B011F7W3LU/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25JHUXHXNADP6&keywords=kyronaut&qid=1562421923&s=gateway&sprefix=kyron%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-1
This is what I use. Kyronaut is one of the top tier pastes you can use
Changing the thermal paste is one of the cheapest things you can try before splurging on a new cooler
Only gaming is when it starts to suffer
It's also handy to have some thermal paste on hand
Any shops that sell thermal paste ?
Uhhh not unless you have any retailers near you that sell computer parts 👀
for me, cooler is still a part of the problem... temps could easily be lowered, even with a low end after market cooler
I'm gonna try and re apply the thermal paste maybe its that i didnt put enough
and you can easily find thermal paste on the internet, there a re lots of specialized websites
Yea but I want it today
maybe... how much did you put?
A small rice grain sized drop in the middle
Yea I'm gonna try again
See if re application works
How do I clean off thermal paste
seems that you need isopropyl alcohol
wow
I think I understand now why your cpu was overheating
the paste is supposed to spread on all the surface of the cpu
which wasn't the case
Yes
maybe try to make a cross on the cpu with the paste
Alright power ON
Omg help
I turned the computer on
And the fan went to hyper speed
Ok its calmed down now
fans always start up at 100% then take a chill pill once the bios (or OS) loads
Oh thank god
That's scared the f outta me
I thought I was bout to experience a cpu fan blow up in my own case
Ok
Let's see
ive never see a pc fan blow up
would be interesting to watch 🤔
puts a Note 7 in the case
it can blow up, but you need to seriously overvolt it... which can't happen if it's plugged on the motherboard
Bout to load up squad
remember when all case fans where molex? good gawd
and it doesn't blow up in a big explosion, it will only stop spinning and make a bit of smoke
crosses fingers
or the bearings brake and make such an annoyin noise that you change them directly lmao
@hasty nova https://i.imgur.com/XvmE6xR.gif
😂
microshaft
What was the maximum safe temp ?
temps are fine if they stay under 70°C
for intel 70-80 is max
what program are you using to see temps?
so its probably the cooler
get HWinfo to see actual temps...
I wish you could hear this thing roar
or aida64
Ok
ew... yeah, but don't accidentally run the aida64 stress test, things could go wrong 😅
here is where you need to go in Aida64
Theres no way I'm gaming today until the new cooler comes in
The thermal paste you have is absolute crap
The fact that it didn't even spread properly says it all 
fyi, those are not fixable
can you use the snipping tool or the print screen button tho?
Hold up let me get better pic
cant see much since the flash is in the middle of the pic....
It's probably just AIDA64 reading a sensor value incorrectly, it happens
I've seen some sensors read as -100c before
Those temps look good or no ?
vrm temp on an asrock b450 read 160 C as stable before the bios update
@hasty nova might want to try reinstalling the mobo driver or updating the mobo bios
cpu temps are fine
Why ?
broken mobo temp might also be a driver/bios issue
your case is open
No
oof
then its best to stay away from the bios then
Chassis Intrusion is something you can safely ignore
I want to run squad and capture the temps when it's in the menu
Use MSI Afterburner with RTSS on
RivaTuner Statistics Server
RivaTuner Statistics
It'a a separate download that works with Afterburner
Oh
was gonna recommend Kombustor too, then i remembered he took a screenie with his phone......
intel stock fans are only useful on pentiums and i3
I've never ever heard a fan roar like that , scared the f outta of me
Yea I'm getting aftermarket fan and a some better paste
That is sure to bring the temp down
you don't even need an expensive cooler
hyper 212 evo is the best performance/money fan you can get
If you want a decent cheap air cooler, have a look at the Cryorig series
its like 20 bucks
The 212 EVO is an absolute nightmare to install though, bear that in mind
be quiet pure rock slim are cheap too, similar to the hyper 212
or a deepcool gammaxx gte if you want some bling
But I dont want to have to take the motherboard out the case
does your case have a motherboard cutout ?
sec, lemme show you what i mean
*Case have a cutout
can you remove both side panels on your case?
I dont think so
read again Moh, i said it right
Oh 😅
I can only take off the glass front
What case is it?
that big mole in the middle, thats a motherboard cutout
so you can mount a cooler backplate without taking the mobo out
No
then you will most likely have to take the mobo out
most aftermarket coolers use proprietary mounting systems
That's the other side
what am I looking at
can't see anything
yep, that panel can be taken off
should see somethin like this underneath
Omg guys !!!
screws at the back of the case
screams are at the back indeed xD
😂
thats what she said
slide it
slide the panel towards the back
^ imagine all of this without context, like..... OOF

there you go, mobo cutout
?
and?
if you didnt clamp the cooler down properly
yeah, not great... 2 or 4 works, but not 3
imma die laughing
incomplete cooler
look at the back 
^ oof
I was so concerned with pushing it down to hard
It didnt even go in
Tf is this intel !!!
context pls
rofl
@wide temple Pingu, 2019
😂 😂
You need a paramedic?
Pingu, did you turn it off first?
wrong hole? 😏
^ oof
unlock the 'screw' thats opposite to that one and then try putting that one in

Its not going in ?
is the plastic busted?
unlock it, push it in, turn it while its in
if its not in the hole you didnt push it hard enough before locking it in
did you unlock the opposite one like i told you?
1 2
3 4
Now what?
you screw them in 1 > 4 > 2 > 3
But the thermal paste ?
is it spread across the whole cpu?
Yes
leave it be then
🤦
i dont remember how the scews look like exacly
but its easy to tell when its unlocked cuz you can pull on it
anticlockwise to unlock, i think
It's still not coming through
oof
Ok got it !
F for Pingu
Its through the hole !
such context, much wow
Now pull in and out several times
😹
Let's... keep it SFW 


this thread is now classified as NSFP

get your screwdriver ready for a new cooler
Yea I sorry
I went toilet
And the door wouldn't open
Stuck in toilet for like 20 mins
Anyway, yes I put the covers back on and I purchased the new cooler with better paste
... how?
do not question Pingu
He's the person who used the same chopping board to cut vegetables with raw meat 
guess that let you enough time to get your screwdriver ready...
What do you guys reccomend to remove Paste from a cpu?
if its a 'what you have around' scenario, either a regular paper tissue (dry) or a cotton cloth + medicinal alcohol
Vodka works, too.
Jk, Idon'treallyknowpleasedon'ttryit
isopropyl alcohol
ive seen watercooling loops with vodka, it wouldnt surprise me
Ok but what if it's like hard?
dont take it out of the socket while youre cleaning it
its pretty safe to apply pressure on the IHS to just 'rub' the paste off
Thanks
Yea the door.jammed
I went toilet, locked the door with those twist knob things
Went to unlock it but it wouldn't twist
And I left my phone in the other room
So I jumped out the window walked on top of the conservatory, and climbed back through my bedroom window
Mib
i have buy for 55€

tl;dw - Intel is slightly better in some titles (1080p) but everything else is in AMD's favour
also value proposition is in AMD's favour with a cheaper price + lower TDP
I think I know what my next CPU is going to be
welcome to the 3900X club Moh 😛
as expensive as a 9900k
I'm looking at the 3700X
we were undecided between 3800X and 3900X but it looks like we are going for 3900X
most likely on an asrock x470 taichi ultimate
I'd consider it but in terms of value it seems a lot more expensive for p/p
i.e. the performance delta isn't that significant when you consider the extra cost
for gaming even a 3600X will be more than enough
our main rig is a 6700k atm, so 4c/8t
my 'console' is a 2600, 6c/12t
the leap from the 6700k to the 3900X will be insane 😹
4690K here 😅
oof, time to upgrade
She still runs fine, but definitely showing her age when it comes to multi-tasking
Also really pushing it when I'm running everything at 3440x1440 120hz
so 4-5 chrome tabs? 😛

You joke but if I have a twitch stream in the background, if often stops responding after a while unless I tab into it
We benchmarked & reviewed AMD's new R5 3600 Ryzen CPU to test performance in games, Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, Blender, compression, & more. Ad: Buy Gigabyte...
Omg this cat
havent reached that one yet, Snowflake makes an appearance?

new ryzen performs really good... and it could be even better with some software optimisation
my 2600 already improved a lot in the last 6 months just from bios updates, im expecting ryzen 3000 to follow the same path
but again, it doesn't seems like they can be pushed very high with an overclock
if a stock 3600 can beat an oc 9700k in multithreaded workloads, well then..... guess whos winning now
plus, the 9700k costs nearly double the price of the ryzen...
@wide temple no idea whos cat is that black cat, but its not Snowflake 😰
Guys I have a problem
Why not say what the problem is when asking 
When I put my WiFi card into my PCI slot my pc doesn't boot
Is it in correctly
Yes
Ok that is odd
Atm I use my WiFi usb
Does your motherboard support the PCI version it needs?
Yyes
I use USB wifi
It fits perfectly
@hasty nova It is good but my pc probably has a too weak PSU to sustain it
It isn't bent or anything but I went into my BIOS and enabled Plug and Play or whatever it's called and my PC still worked but the card didin't
Or it's fried or broken
Overclocking a PSU smh
It would be good i think
but not at the same time
I overclocked my audio so everytime I pressed the ON button, an ear rape version of the windows login played
The problem with my USB Wifi is that if I download a large file via Steam lets say. It will download for 1.2 GB good, depends but then It will litterly turn off
@hasty nova The XP windows ?
xD
Is the Red Magic 3 Good
the wifi card is probably defective then... when you plug in it, the pc should start properly and the card should automatically be detected...
Unless the PCI slot is dead.
No
then start by doing that, it could tell you if thats the motherboard or the card that has issues
What phone would you guys recommend
160-500 euros
I was thinking about the Red Magic 3 or the Samsung A60
@mighty vine nonkia lumia 510 

its good phone tho when it came
ik
@mighty vine samsung galaxy s8 +
@hasty nova no no not samsung s series because that curved glass brokes easly and apps burn sometimes easly for me happend too many times but i have s8
i have had many samsung S series phones
i believe i started with the S4 and now i have the S10
@halcyon rune what do you mean the apps burn?
oled
@mighty vine oh i didnt writhe all someaps burn some aps on screen
like snapchat have burned in my screen littlebit i have top of screen little bit yellow
A burn in in other words

Torn between going for a cheaper motherboard vs. having 2 M.2 slots. Also torn between going for the 3600 vs 3700x
uhm wait what
how much cheaper is 3600?
Significantly
Moh
u don't really need 2 M:2 slots, right?
£190 vs £320
With one m.2
that warning at the bottom though 
3700X is something like 50 or 60% more expensive than 3600
Yeah I know, I'll buy it with the BIOS updated (a local retailer offers that service)
overclocks better tho
That's the thing, last time I built a PC, I opted to get the 4690K vs i7 4790K

Regretted it a few years later when I wanted the extra cores
Why didn't u upgrade it lataer
It wasn't cost effective to do so
seems to be about 25% perf increase between 3600 and 3700X
In terms of gaming, the differences are a lot less
For productivity the gains are significant
more futureproof too
possibly
If I do go with building a new PC, I'll be keeping it for 5 years at an absolute minimum
the amount of background processing isn't going to go up by much (I think), but games might become better at utilizing multiple cores with both Intel and AMD pushing for higher core counts for consumer CPUs
Why do you even need 2 m.2 slots? If you planning to get nvme m.2 ssds - they are useless, unless you are transferring A LOT of data daily (photographer etc)
Mini ITX build
they can improve load times in some games
If I was going for an ATX build, I wouldn't need to worry about extra M2 slots
Nvme ssds? Yes, 1-2 seconds for the price you add up
But I'm tired of having an obscenely large and heavy PC taking up so much space (currently have a Fractal R4)
Non-nvme ssd is enough for average user
run 2 nvme SSDs in RAID0 for boot drive 
I can get a 2TB WD Blue for the same price (both M.2 and SATA)
Doesn't make a difference
barely anything about that build screams "average user"

I am just kidding
I could keep my existing PC for another year, but honestly, I'm getting tired of it and I'm growing old

I'd rather have stuff that works properly all the time rather than having to deal with X and Y
I'm kinda feeling the same about my i7-7700K-based build
wot, yours isn't even that old?
2017
2014 
Also that build doesn't include an AIO, which I'll need for an ITX...
2080 here :d
got 2080 in my laptop, 1080 Ti in the build I was talking about
I'd lean towards the 3700X though, if you have the money to spare
gives more options later and likely more future-proof
I plan to keep the 1070, cos I ain't paying £1000 for a top of the line GPU (2080Ti) when the 1080 Ti was almost half the price. You don't even get double the performance of a 1080 Ti so what's the point?
the 10-series is still plenty good enough for most use-cases
Getting 1080ti with transferrable warranty is a fairly good idea
the reasons to upgrade would be better NVENC quality and DXR
the visual quality lands somewhere between x264 fast and medium, which makes it excellent for streaming
Neither of which I care about tbh lol
There is also an other philosophy: buying beefy CPU and then upper midrage GPU every N years
True, that's why you go for the best avaliable CPU you can offer
You're not making this easy for me 
desk radiator 

The power requirement of the i9 is ridiculous
So I'm stuck between two choices, either go all out and go 3700X, or save a ton of money and go 3600. I can also save some money on a motherboard as I can get a cheaper one with cheaper VRMs and power phases
Depends on the games you play and resolution
3440x1440, so I'm heavily CPU bottlenecked atm 
Now that's more like it 🤓
only $1,500+
Double what I paid for my current monitor hahah
it would epic to play ets2 or ats on that monitor
damn right, both monitors in view AND you get to see the outside as well
4K? Get 3600 then
Moh: i want to build an ITX pc
meanwhile me:
Lol
huh
?
ITX in an ATX build?
not an atx case
the gpu is mounted parallel to the motherboard, you can see the riser above the ram

you forgot something
@wide temple Silverstone RVZ03 ARGB
maybe more
remember linus tech tips's monster workstation with something like 8 gpus?
I mean for like a gaming PC at home
a system with 3 gtx 580 like that can easily hit 1000W under heavy load
Like a i9 and 2 RTX GPU's don't even use close to that
But far from 2200 watts
yeah
PSU's that high are almost made to order considering how few would be purchased xD
i can a system build whit 4 Geforce GTX 480 and MSI am3 4way motherboard
@agile ermine it doesn't look like a regular PSU. I talk about the shape
its an EATX power supply
Oh that explains it
hmm
?
What is a good CPU for the AM3+ socket?
I now have a AMD Athlon II X3 450
There's gotta be something better out there
And I don't really have the money to buy a new motherboard and a I5 or something
the most powerful is the FX-9590
but I think its pretty rare and you need an insane motherboard and cooler to run it
otherwise, you can find some new FX-8370
but they're not even as powerful as a ryzen 3 1200, which isn't a great cpu...
Ok thanks
oof my Graficscards
Anyone here owns Lenovo legion laptop?
corsair spec 04 case
anyone now how to open the front door of the case
i need to replace my fan
capri look for thumb screws on the sides of the case
i know those are there
on the back
but i still need to see how to open it
because im pretty sure its got a lock too
so ucant just open it and damage the rest of the case without removing the plate
the panel should just slide
the front fan or rear fan
how does your case only have a front fan and no rear fan
because it only came with that and is handling completely fine
its only ever gone over 60/65 under load like 3 times
oh you're trying to replace the front fan?
yes
it seems unbalanced
once fan rpms goes up
it vibrates every so often
when it goes up with rpm a bit to cool
and its loud
the front panel should just pop off
i seen pics and its a door
ill see when i found a good fan and ordered it
xd
gotta find a good one thats pretty silent
i have a good fan in mine but it's on the expensive side
how much?
i think it was like $40 USD
120mm
what brand
mine can have 140's all over except for the bottom and back
i have my case fans programmed to turn off when there is no demand
@spiral yew are be quiet fans any good?
never used em
I reccomend loud 12,000rpm fan for maximum flex
You can bring your friends over tell them to listen to your pc and tell them it is a jet and it will take off
@pastel lodge Be Quiet fans are well... quiet
My old PC had a Be Quiet case, case fans and CPU cooler - You couldnt really hear it at all, even under load
Hey,
My Thrustmaster TX has a very annoying problem when steering precisely. There are small steps and i am not really able to keep the angle of the wheel between those steps.
See GIF: https://gfycat.com/jauntysmoggydromedary
The problem only appears when the wheel is plugged in so i guess it is caused by the FFB engine. I have lubrucated it a bit but theres still no difference.
As of my situation right now i wanted to know if any of you out there also have a TX/T300 or anything similar and also have this problem. I found a replacement unit for the FFB engine but that one costs 60$ and i would like to know your experience and wether the new engine could fix my problem.
The wheel has no warranty anymore.
Thanks for your help!
Is there any burning smell or anything wrong with the motors?
Nah the problem is occuring since 5 months at least but i didn't have time to take it apart there
all fine for the rest, i would just be interested in the views of other tx/t300 owners
@scenic ferry
I only really know how the logitech wheels work tbh sorry. Even then, it's limited knowledge
oh my
I literally cant do anything it takes 2 hours to open any websites and cant play 144p videos on youtobe
How do you truck then?
I have a problem with my wheel
Sometimes it turns by itself and keeps honking
For no reason
I unplug it and wait 5 sec and replug it
but it keeps happening
If it keeps honking press Horn key
If it steers without wheel moving brakkng etc
Press the keyboard button for that
Sometimes it bugs with wheel/controller then that happens sometimes
@mighty vine I have the horn issue sometimes. It's a physical issue where the horn button gets stuck down by a little plastic piece. What wheel is it?
thrustmaster universal challenge 5-in-1
or the ferrari challenge
But the turning then?
Also please tag me
Are your drivers upto date? @mighty vine
Unplug your eheel and start game and plug it
How will that help
this is stock...
Xd
I just ordered my RAM today 
2x 16GB of Ballistix 3200MHz RAM with Micron E-die, so it should overclock to 3600 touchwood
Yeeees
Do you really need that much
I still only have 4gb. Maxed out my motherboard 
10 gigs? how does that add up? 😄
2x 2 gb and 2 x3 gb
Weird combination of RAM XD.
im 100% positive there is no single stick of 3gb ram
they go up in powers of 2, so 1>2>4>8>16 etc
Yea, I didn't think they were real but who knows XD. I don't like mixing and matching ram tho
you can mix and match as long as all the sticks are the same type (ddr3, ddr4 etc), are the same capacity and have the same latency and timings
And voltage
voltage is usually standardized
They don't need to be the same capacity afaik
no but its much harder to find matching timings on different capacity sticks
... how do you get 26gb of ram with two sticks???
@agile ermine i assume that was for me; its 26gb free (out of 32)
😹
@wide temple i just ordered 2 8gb sticks
Noice
70euros
cheaper then the 2 4gb sticks i have now lol
ill sell those for like 40 bucks if i can
Monitorless is a remote-control VR/AR solution that enables consumers to use devices such as smartphones and PCs without a monitor. The solution consists of ...

google tried something like that first
@compact cove OwO did you overclock it at all?
is it possible
that my current 2 x4 ram sticks will work with my other sticks too 2x8>
if they are the same latency and everything then yea
don't use DDR3 with DDR4 unless you want to destroy your mobo
also if the ram sticks don't snap in the first time make sure you them facing the correct direction
DDR4 and DDR3 are not even compatible - slots keyed differently ]
@spiral yew theyre Both ddr4
2666mhz
I havent gotten Them yet
So i could use 2 different versions basicly
well if one has a lower mhz then the other one the pc will use the lower one
sasha people who aren't very computer smart wouldn't know that
This has been in the attic for 10+ years https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/505842166963240969/600036476515778561/IMG_20190714_194158.jpg?width=266&height=473
Legend
Got no cables to test it tho. They're going for pretty good money tho
sad
@spiral yew ones i have now are 2666 MHz each and so are the new ones
But each one runs 1330 it said on Speccy is that normal?
Idk
Oh rip, someone just bought it... That was way to fast. Guess I priced it wrong
yea that's normal capri unless your motherboard/cpu supports XMP profiles
@pastel lodge you didn't buy 2666 Mhz ram did you?
I did
🤦
That's what i got in my system now too
A friend sayed if i get 3000 etc and what not it Will be limited with my cpu
2 8GB 1333 equals 2666 mhz
💁
Its what i got in my pc now anyways
So they should work together so i have 24 GB of ram
2 8GB 2666Mhz equals 3222 Mhz
So they wont work together i geuss?
not sure how well they will work
Ill check when i receive them
I think you got it wrong Jeep
Ill Just put em in with the others
Ive got ryzen 5 1400
ryzen 5 1400 is your CPU
Yes
Ik
My friend said if i get higher MHz ram with this cpu
That the ram would be limited on its full true power
That depends on what RAM speeds your motherboard is rated at
First gen Ryzen is picky about memory anyway
Your RAM is running at 2666Mhz then
but wouldn't it say 8x2?
DDR = double data rate, to calculate the true speed, you have to multiple it by a factor of 2
I should get my new ram saturday 
Hopefully it also improves some games with loading stuff etc
More RAM won't really help with that tbh
Nah
It does have a limit, but no consumer will ever hit that limit
128GB for the Windows 10 Home, 2TB for Pro
Virtual Hosts, servers, all use large swathes of RAM
True
you have to find a system that can run that much ram first...
and that uses windows
@wide temple all core oc seems to have a good effect on games but its worse than stock doing anythin else 😐
also apparently our corsair dom plat sticks are micron E-die
some data modelling workloads take a lot of memory too
most of those use-cases are on cloud workstations and servers though, not on computers anyone is directly sitting at

Also yeah, you can get LPX e-die sticks too, but they have a specific version number and the version number you get is a lottery
this 3200 cl16 kit does 3600 cl17
I bought a 3700X last night for a £20 discount 
Also bought a 2TB MX500 from Prime Day heh
filthy brit
I'm already getting ripped off ok 
i dont have a gpu in my console now, but at least i can play around with a 3900x
So should I upgrade my i7 4790 to a i7 9700K or a Ryzen 3900x?
Also is it recommended to reinstall Windows when you switch CPU manufacturers?
Only thing is the place where I get my PC parts is out of stock of 3900’s 
@placid dragon what's your gpu?
You'd also need a new motherboard
And new RAM )
Oh yea, ofc. Cos the motherboard would be DDR4 whereas the older I7 use DDR3 right?
😮
Dat bottleneck
You don't need to reinstall windows if you replace your cpu, but you will probably have to uninstall some drivers later
But if you replace your motherboard, you might have to reactivate windows
Actually you'd be surprised that there is no bottle neck on the RTX 2080 Ti with the i7 4790 or a very minor one which isn't noticeable
Managed to get the GPU to 97% usage and CPU at 92% usage on Battlefield 5 with the RTX features enabled

some people say amd is better than intel, what do you all think
Amd for the CPU's and Nvidia for the GPU.s
That monitor is back so far
Idk how u can play with mouse and keyboard that close to edge i already get pissed that my desk is 60 cm and i cant put my keyboard back more
just get a sliding keyboard tray and problem solved
Idk I don't look at desks
But not a small one
Damn you got a whole setup right there
And I can bet a BEEFY pc
What's walmart xD
ahhhh lame the bot didn't like my link
Im from the netherlands
Oh no
It the screw in ones
I would need one of those but it would be better if it was built in
those attach to your desk
something like this then? https://images.globalindustrial.com/images/500x500/239196.jpg
do you have amazon?
Yes but no Prime
If id have a sliding keyboard tray id hit myself on it non-stop because low desk + couldnt use keyboard when doing ats/ets
Yeah
I never said beefy pc?
Your wheel isnt centered @sand valley fix this
Iknow😵 @pastel lodge but otherwise its to close to the side panel
Id move the side panel more
I have this too on my setup with my shifter
It blocks my chair
But unless its 99% good lines with center of monitor
I Just cant drive straight
@pastel lodge its as far right as it can go
But i can fix it a other way😏 i can move my monitors cuz they on a desk mount 😂
I geuss the drawers are permanently stuck on the desk?
Rip id move monitors then 😂
Well it works for me😂
If you pay close attention you see that my left monitor is lower than my middle one
It wont mount in a other way
@pastel lodge if your OCD kicked in for a slightly misaligned wheel, i can show you my monitor setup 
Well
Its not oce
Ocd
It Just makes me feel so weird that it makes me unable to go straight
i also drive with the controls misaligned from the screen im playing on so....
I have to move my screen each time since i decided to put the support pole in my desk wich i tbh dont need its not like alot of weight on it but if u take it out ill cut my Legs probably alot
note: old pic but config is the same, gaming screen is bottom right
2nd note: all screens are the same size, perception is a b@#$% 
@wide temple 3900x is pretty damn hot, 72 C at full (non-AVX) load
@sand valley Oh okay and you got a BEEFY pc
