i had a 2600x but the only reason i did was because at $7.35/hr i was too broke for intel

EVGA.... oh.... wait.... 🙁

merry stirrup
#

fuck no

pure garnet
#

yeah lemme buy the vendor with the highest failure rate so i get a slightly more functional support

merry stirrup
#

i’d like a couple of the older darks but for the most part their boards are fart because the bios team literally doesn’t exist

it’s just some guy

i expect my board to live through nearly 2v memory and 500w of cpu while also clocking good

nimble pike
#

I am tempted to go MSI

brisk jolt
pure garnet
#

so i think ill just get an apex instead of torturing myself

merry stirrup
#

it has bad auto settings. who’s using auto settings on an xoc bios

#

if you are, that is your problem

young void
pure garnet
#

okay but why are the autos different

#

that’s a gigabyte moment

merry stirrup
#

could be some reason their lab thought was worthwhile idk

pure garnet
#

nah i think they just rage bait for the love of the game

young void
#

I didnt mind my gigabyte master but it had a weird header issue with rgb where all my lights where dimmer then they should've been luckily sold that build

topaz veldt
#

which one

pure garnet
#

i wouldn’t buy a tachyon anyway because the memory slots are positioned in a place only convenient for ln2 test benches

topaz veldt
#

not only that

merry stirrup
nimble pike
#

I'll NEVER buy Gigabyte

topaz veldt
#

Tachyon has a fraction of the users OCF/Apex have

pure garnet
topaz veldt
#

If you look at the OCN thread its like... depressing

pure garnet

the gigabyte owners thread just discovered what sa voltage does

merry stirrup

yeah

#

I miss the Rampage Extreme boards

pure garnet
#

the world needs more z790 mpower tuners

#

surely this time it’ll do 8k

merry stirrup
#

oh it does 9K+

nimble pike
#

My first OC was on an X79 Rampage IV Black Edition

topaz veldt
#

blah just did my taxes

#

i need to buy less hardware

merry stirrup
#

it’s a generally accepted factor now that LGA 1700 doesn’t have a truly l stable memory controller

brisk jolt
#

$629 SG for another H24M kit

translation: $400 USD for 2x24gb

pure garnet
#

are the 5090s not tax deductible

topaz veldt
#

The saving grace is selling at a loss

young void
#

The space left for the AIO was alsooo something..

topaz veldt
#

but that may not be a thing going forward

nimble pike
#

Can Core Ultra handle 4 sticks of memory?

pure garnet
brisk jolt
nimble pike
#

That's what I mean. Can I run 4x16GB at full speed?

topaz veldt
merry stirrup
nimble pike
#

6000mhz

topaz veldt
#

yes

pure garnet
#

why would you ever do 4x16

merry stirrup
#

i think they’re a million dollars but

topaz veldt
#

6000 is nothing on 4 DIMM ARL

pure garnet
#

not even enough capacity to justify destroying mem support

young void
#

Looks like I need at least 450 for new to me sticks, super hate the economy rn

nimble pike
#

Look man, I'm still on DDR4, I don't know the weirdness of DDR5

topaz veldt
#

yeah if you already have the RAM and need 64GB you can do it, but really 4 DIMMs is for like.... 128-192GB

pure garnet
#

4x96 at jedec makes sense

#

4x16 is just why

topaz veldt
#

I was going through my 2025 sales

#

and saw my 2x48GB 6400 CL32 GSKill I sold for like $220

nimble pike
#

My X570 I plug in 2 RAM kits at XMP and it just works.

topaz veldt
pure garnet
#

4 sticks at 3200 at the end of a platform isn’t that surprising

nimble pike
#

Mix and matching? If they're the same timings and kit?

pure garnet
#

xmp sets like 3 timings it’s not hard to make it compatible

nimble pike
#

That's all I need. I don't overclock my main rigs anymore. I need stability for streaming. It's why I have held off on AM5 so far.

young void

ecc ram exists if you worry that much

AM5 launched 3.5 years ago…

young void
#

Oh snap 7900x was 2022 how time flies

nimble pike
#

It wasn't an immediate enough performance improvement to warrant leaving my 5800X.

livid flame
#

IIRC am5 had no issues with JEDEC on launch

nimble pike
#

It was chipset maybe?

uneven vigil
#

How much is a Ryzen 7 5700g and a i7 8700k?

young void
#

Just using 4 sticks if I recall

livid flame
#

The x3d chips asus was burning up but that stopped like 3 months after 7800x3d released for them in 2023

nimble pike
#

That and no four sticks made me want to wait.

livid flame
#

I bought my 7800x3d in like November so issue was sorted and I didn’t go asus

young void
#

Coughs in intels amps and watts being adjusted via bios for similar reasons. Mobo user errors Derps although coming default with multicore enhancement on and amps at 4000+ (unlimited) was crazy balls. squints at asus

nimble pike
#

I didn't deep dive it, I just knew it was a thing, was like "My RTX 3080 and 5800X are chilling, I like having 4 Dimms and no crashes" and forgot about it until now. Because the 5800X was no longer cutting it.

uneven vigil
#

How much is a Ryzen 7 5700g and a i7 8700k?

livid flame
#

4 sticks unnecessary really as you’d only use 32gb and 8gb dimm on ddr5 always a bit of a no no

nimble pike
#

And lack of RAM compatibility and bandwidth is what's making RAMpocalypse bad for me.

#

I can acquire 4 16GB sticks way easier than 2 32GB sticks financially

young void
#

Wonder if the "memory try it" is any good on msi boards

young void
#

Haven't tested the feature tbh

nimble pike
turbid locust
#

It’s good to try ram settings if you already have the cpu sided voltages figured out

reef lance
#

Top 10 things science can't explain

pure garnet
#

because if you needed more you now have 4 16gb sticks

#

if you had a 2x32 kit and needed more, you lose some speed to add 4 sticks for capacity

heavy mantle
pure garnet
#

for d5 probably yeah

#

before shortage it was $80 for 2x16 and 120-150ish? for 2x32

#

my 2x24 8000 1.35v was $220 but that’s bc i bought nicer ram

nimble pike
#

I have... sources that can get me cheaper 16GB sticks

#

I know a guy who knows a guy

heavy mantle
nimble pike
#

I really need 2x32GB

heavy mantle
#

d5?

nimble pike
#

If I were to jump to AM5

#

Yeah

heavy mantle
#

tbh if i was you i would wait

nimble pike
#

That wouldn't be for another 3 months either way. Until I sell this old Dell and Intel 12th gen.

pure garnet
#

the 9800x3d has not gotten any faster than it was a year ago

heavy mantle
#

wait till am6 d6 comes out like maybe in a year or even less then yeah buy am5

brisk jolt
#

technically I can sell my 32GB ram, upgrade to 2x24 and lend my friend one stick instead of selling him for cost

pure garnet
#

nova lake and zen 6 both ship next year so i’d just wait anyway

nimble pike
#

I do video editing so having 64GB is preferable.

heavy mantle
#

oh yeah

nimble pike
#

I've heard Zen 6 will potentially have dual CCX 3DVcache

hoary hatch
#

CCD*

brisk jolt
# heavy mantle *what*

I can choose the path where I lend ram to a friend instead of selling it to him so I still have both my PCs using 2 ram sticks

pure garnet
#

macbook neo enjoyers editing 4k prores just fine

nimble pike
#

So the __950X3D might make sense

heavy mantle
#

honestly waiting till to am6 realses to get like higher end am5 stuff for cheaper might be your best bet

hoary hatch
#

I guess technically CCX since now it's 1 CCX per CCD

pure garnet
#

you’d know if you needed a dual ccd chip

brisk jolt
pure garnet
#

(you don’t)

heavy mantle
pure garnet
#

taping cache to each ccd doesn’t eliminate the scheduling headaches or the latency problems

reef lance
nimble pike
#

I know someone who just upgraded from Threadripper lol

heavy mantle
#

tbh a 9800x would be more than enough for video editing

nimble pike
#

Yeah, I think my 5800X3D will be fine if it works

heavy mantle
#

yeah

nimble pike
#

I just picked it up

heavy mantle
#

what gpu do you have?

nimble pike
#

5070ti

heavy mantle
#

ah okay thats pleanty

#

then you should be good

nimble pike

Cheapest dual NVENC card for RTX 5000

honestly ill wait till the a19 mac newo 2 comes out and buy the current neo for like 300

I ran an LTT video at 900p with only one or two occasional dropped frames.

#

Not bad for a laptop that's almost 20 years old.

#

It does NOT game

#

5 fps on Bioshock

#

Either the GPU is not working correctly, or the OS is so intensive that it hogs all the utilization.

#

I lean towards the second because it seemed to accelerate YouTube fine.

#

No way a CoreDuo was handling 900p YouTube all alone

reef lance
nimble pike
#

Well, it has a DGPU! 6600gt? I think?

It would be great if Mac would get good with gaming again. I would love for their to be more competition in general in the OS/PC market, because up until recently it was game on Windows or get fucked. Linux gaming is finally getting better, and I hope Mac does too.

I need a cheap used gaming laptop.

reef lance

I've been looking at stuff with APUs, but I don't think the 780M can match my 1060

next ginkgo

780M is also pretty old now

#

3 years I believe?

nimble pike
#

The 1060 is 10 years old

next ginkgo
#

Also draws 10x the power

#

wait 780M is apparently a 1060 3gb

Since 2012 for me. Using MacOS for the first time was a huge culture shock for me in school. Especially when you came from a district that was using NT 4.0 when you first started going to the schools in the district you started in

reef lance
wraith steeple
#

I legit thought the school was rich when I saw those Power Mac G4 towers even though they were several years out of date by that point

#

And there were still systems running Classic Mac OS 8 and 9 despite it being the early 2010s

nimble pike
#

I actually started out WITH MacOS in Elementary school, but eventually we moved to XP and Vista when I got to middle school. Haven't used MacOS since.

reef lance
# nimble pike I actually started out WITH MacOS in Elementary school, but eventually we moved ...

Yeah I used the PC we had at home a lot so by the time I went to elementary school and got to use the computer lab there I already had computer experience, but yeah. I didn't really pay attention to the difference between Mac and PC. They were just computers, even if the school one was a bit weird. I will say though, when those Mac VS PC commercials were playing I always assumed we had a Mac because that was the cool guy in the commercial KEKW

you can’t really, no

find a 5700x3d or something

if he sells old combo he can upgrade

uneven vigil

idk I just heard that me switching mobos is probably a better option than buying another cpu

if you get a decent amount and have 500$ i’d try to buy lga 1851 or am5 (realistically this one)

ok before you all airstrike my house i know the macbook neo isn't supposed to be gaming but if you cool the cpu enough to stop it from throttling the gaming performance more than doubles

that's pretty crazy

Which are also what mine are, and I can go above 1.43v on some boards but not others. FYI.

But again 1.4v is plenty for a daily tune

risking your hardware with overclocking in the current market situation seems like madness to me

if i had my ram watercooled then sure id play with 1.7v for fun, but maxing out refresh at lower voltage is better for performance instead of having to loosen refreshes with a higher voltage config

Man it will be real nice when more games implent ray tracing in such a way where we don't have to use reshade mods and whatnot. Like I'm sure there will always be someone out there making a reshade mod anyways, and obviously you could play GTA V or most other games with default raytracing, but it will be nice when there is less of a need for it because RT is implemented more naturally.
