deep salmon
#

reallyyy needed the PC man. Soft eng needs a CPU and my games need a GPU xD

deep salmon
#

and I know in Cyprus they go for x1.5 that IIRC

Brexit means Brexit

deep salmon
#

I tried to checkout in the page @pale fox sent and entered asdf@gmail.com as an email just to continue and it says it

#

it's already registered xDDDD

#

yes

deep salmon
#

That's why I built my pc FULL 2nd hand

pale fox
#

but for monitors its not bad

deep salmon
#

only thing I bought new is my PSU cause I don't wanna blow up 😄

# pale fox but for monitors its not bad

fairs, I got a sick deal on my main one 1080p yes...but 144Hz 27 inch Dell one. MSRP 220 pounds got it for 100 from this sweet lady who bought it for her son but he said he had a better one so he threw this one away

#

it literally has 3 years warranty left on it

pale fox
#

lol

#

I got a 60hz one, and a 165hz

deep salmon
#

noiceee

#

the smoothnesss 0

*0*

#

forgot I had to escape the stars...markdown and whatnot

pale fox
#

lol

deep salmon
#

snowy apologies, I kind of sidetracked there

#

where are you left with ur pc?

pale fox
#

its calm

deep salmon
#

athlon 3000G, 1x8GB ?MHz RAM

pale fox
#

ye

deep salmon
#

and no GPU currently?

pale fox
#

ye

#

i can barely place gta5 on it

#

play*

deep salmon
#

well yh, vega graphics wil only take you so far

pale fox
deep salmon
#

A lot xD

pale fox
#

xD

deep salmon
#

you need a gpu to play games

#

cause rn ur CPU is rendering both the scenes and handling the logic

#

oh god, you know we fcked when CEX is kinda scalping

pale fox
#

Lol

deep salmon
#

but you might wanna have a look there

pale fox
#

yeah

deep salmon
#

GTX 1650 for £165.00.....yeesh

pale fox
#

I can't really expect much from cex

deep salmon
#

yeah but....1660 super for £320?? bruh

pale fox
#

isn't that overpriced?

deep salmon
#

A LOT

#

that's double the msrp xD

pale fox
#

mad

#

the thing is, I'm actually worried if it can fit in my pc

deep salmon
#

well that's easy to figure out

#

you legit just measure it..ur case I mean

#

l, w, h of GPUs is public information

pale fox
#

lemme search up how long I have to measure

#

It can fit in my pc

#

Also thanks for the help @deep salmon,@stiff kraken and @vast meadow

deep salmon
#

always glad to help!

#

hope you find a GPU mate

pale fox
#

thanks!

#

I got a r5 1600 so I am assuming 3200mhz

grizzled bloom
#

Yeah 3600 is too much to ask from the 1000 and 2000 series

vast meadow
neon void
#

Alright.

neon void
elfin warren
#

Yeah, just wait to do ram until the 5600x then

neon void
#

Also I want to know what I should upgrade next, I have a r5 1600, phantom d rx570 8gb, 550w, 16gb ram 2666mhz (I think),

neon void
neon void
limber dragon
#

ram -> psu -> gpu (imo)

neon void
#

I think I'd be lucky to get my hands on a gpu (1080-3080)+ let alone for a close to "fair" price

limber dragon
#

yeah, gpus right now are so messed up that you should stick with the 570 until the prices are back to normal

vast meadow
#

What mobo do you have btw?

neon void
#

strix b450f-II I believe

vast meadow
#

That's fine then

#

You'll just need to update bios

neon void
#

alr

neon void
vast meadow
#

Also what cooler do you have?

neon void
#

In order to update bios I do what, and what will it reset, just my bios settings?

vast meadow
#

If stock I'd get a new one

neon void
#

I was going to get an aio in the future but I have the hyper evo 212

#

it gets fine temps for my cpu but idk how it would do with the 5600x

vast meadow
neon void
#

oh

neon void
elfin warren
#

Vetroo V5 do the job

#

$30

vast meadow
#

Aio overkill imo but 212 evo is pretty bad

neon void
#

Alright

neon void
#

?

elfin warren
#

About the same

#

Same price too

neon void
#
#

it wasn't this but it was close to this

elfin warren
#

SSE 224XT

neon void
#

ah yes

#

I'll get that if anything else

elfin warren
#

Ya, Vetroo is RGB tho XD

#

If that matters

neon void
#

ID-COOLING SE-224-XT RGB CPU Cooler AM4 CPU Cooler 12V 4PIN RGB Cooler 4 Heatpipes CPU Air Cooler 120mm PWM Fan, Intel/AMD

#

isn't this too?

vast meadow
#

Or gammaxx 400 if trying to save money

neon void
#

This one atleast*

elfin warren
#

Ah, yeah it is

elfin warren
#

Not sure on the price tho

neon void
#

about the same-ish

elfin warren
#

Ehhhh, for $40 go Vetroo

neon void
#

Ok

vast meadow
#

40$›

#

Check newegg mb

neon void
#

Yeah I think I'm gonna go for the vetroo or the se-244-xt

#

Thanks.

#

This is an odd question, but is there a graphics card equivalent of Intel® UHD Graphics 620?

#

Im trying to see if a laptop could run human fall flat

hollow thorn
limber dragon
#

then igpus also need to take in ram performance, because that's igpu "vram"

glad pebble

I say it wouldn't

#

anyone got recommendations in a b560 board that's more or less white?

#

ive been eyeing the b560a strix but like

#

jeez it's expensive

#

and out of stock

split copper
#

I'm looking at h510s

#

wish they were lower price but I just want something that will work with a 10100 if I upgrade

keen steppe
#

Can anyone recommend a couple boards for a 5600x that has wifi and bluetooth?

quartz zinc
#

do i have to reinstall windows if i upgrade my motherboard

vast meadow
#

You don't have to but you should

#

You can get a lot of slowdowns or errors if you don't

vernal cosmos
#

b550 is good enough

keen steppe
#

I was going to consider the tomahawk til I realized it's closer to 300 bucks nowadays

elfin warren
#

5600x doesn't need x570, B550 more than sufficient

dense frost
elfin warren
#

Gen 4 drives are not needed for 95% of people

#

no difference in load times between those and gen 3

dense frost
#

I know. but it still feels like a crutch

elfin warren
#

SO unless you're moving huge files all over the place it's a waste of money

dense frost
#

like, why hobble yourself

elfin warren
#

Like, why blow money on useless stuff

dense frost
#

for future stuff?

elfin warren
#

Get more ram with that money that's useful

#

Or a better GPU

#

or better PSU

#

Or monitor or something

keen steppe
#

For reference I'm just helping my brother build a pc he says he wants comparable or better than xbox/ps5 and "will last a few years"

vast meadow
elfin warren
#

Ya, sequential read speeds are just a big number

#

Random IO is what you really need

vast meadow
keen steppe
#

Of course

vast meadow
#

What cooler you thinking?

keen steppe
#

Not entirely sure yet. If the hyper 212 is as terrible to install on AM4 as it was on 1150 I'd avoid that lol. Maybe one of the be quiet ones

elfin warren
#

Vetroo V5 or ID Cooling SSE 224xt

#

Better than 212

vast meadow
#

Those or gammaxx 400 if on budget and scythe fuma 2 if you want a chonky cooler

dense frost
#

what about a 240 aio?

#

budget permitting?

keen steppe
#

I'd probably feel safer giving him an air cooled system for his first build

split copper
#

aios aren't much more complicated

elfin warren
#

They are more expensive tho

keen steppe
#

I know but still. One less mechanical thing to worry about failing

ocean talon
#

anyone know why pc apps crashes when i use 3600mhz speed of ram

#

i just set it to 3200 and now its fine

vast meadow
#

And what ram

ocean talon
#

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB C18 1.35V this ram

vast meadow
#

Choose an xmp profile

#

Is it supposed to be 3600cl18?

ocean talon
#

tbh idk but i assume it is

vast meadow
#

If so just enable xmp(extreme memory profile) or docp if you have an asus motherboard

#

Don't just set the speed in bios

ocean talon
#

ok ill do that rn

#

opening chrome and valo into practice range and hasnt crashed so far like before

Hi, I have this motherboard (m5a99x evo r2.0, asus). I have rn 2 4gb sticks of ddr3 800mghz. So my question is, does upgrading ram speed make a big difference for game performance? Also I want to upgrade ram bc i keep running out, for example editing a video or even being on a discord call while having a few google tabs open makes me run out of ram. So what kind of ram is compatible, what speed is good? Thanks in advance, and if you reply pls @ me bc i won't see it otherwise.

split copper
#

is it ddr3 800 or 1600?

glad pebble
#

In video games RAM speed/amount (from what I have found) does not impact that much. HOWEVER I do video/photo editing/rendering and the difference is massive. I went from 2x8 GB 2666 MHZ to 4x16 (64gb) 3000mhz and rendering photos/videos takes significantly less time. Haven’t really seen a change in video game performance.

With that being said, ddr3 at 1600 mhz is slow for today’s standards, so if you upgraded that, you would see a difference. The maximum RAM speed for that motherboard is ddr3 1866MHz (also depends on CPU), so an upgrade from your current 1600mhz to 1866mhz would make a difference.

You mentioned 800mhz, is this the stock frequency? RAM speed is usually doubled, so for example if an app tells you the speed is 800mhz, double it to get your speed.

Also if you haven’t already, head into your bios and enable XMP profiling. This increases RAM speeds beyond stock frequencies.

Heres a good vid on the difference between the two https://youtu.be/xL1BEvk8UGA ( @prisma hill )

Skyrim - 1080p @ Ultra (16csaa / 8msaa)
Black Ops 2 - 1080p @ Ultra (4x msaa)
WoW 64 MoP - 1080p @ Ultra (16csaa / 2x msaa).

Hey guys this is the precursor to my beginners guide to overclocking your ram. Basically I was doing a lot of testing and the big thing to take out of it was that you shouldn't be using the auto settings in BIOS as they ...

▶ Play video
elfin warren
#

I mean it def matters on amd and intel. Up to 10% performance difference in games, depending on some factors. 2666 vs 3200 on 10400 is the difference between slower than or faster than Ryzen 3600.

quartz zinc
#

can i use acetone to remove thermal paste

silk ice
#

Yes but i wouldn't recommend it since it can be really bad for plastic. if at all possible you want to use isopropyl alcohol since if you get it anywhere it will jsut evaporate

polar igloo
#

Use 91% isopropyl or something higher is what ive heard

grizzled bloom
#

Chances are if it's corrosive you don't want it anywhere near your PC

abstract badger
#

Hey have a Lenovo 20205looking to upgrade memory. Any suggestions on models?

silk ice
#

I'd recommend checking out crucial's memory finder if you're just trying to figure out what's compatible

abstract badger
#

found it using that tool. Cheers for the Ref.

silk ice
#

Yea no problem it's super nice for figuring out ram and drive expansion quickly for prebuilts and laptops

cyan raft
#

How’s the 5600x vs 3700x?

silk ice
# cyan raft How’s the 5600x vs 3700x?

depends what you're doing for just gaming the 5600x strongly outclasses the 3700x for other multithreaded applications I would believe the 2 extra cores on the 3700x are a greater benefit over the per core performance

hey Ive had my Asus Rog Strix ryzen 5900hx with rtx 3060 for a week and i see that my CPU temps while playing games ranges from 89C- 96C as soon as i turn the game on. any suggestions?

vast meadow
# cyan raft How’s the 5600x vs 3700x?

a downgrade in multi core performance for better single core but not worth the downgrade in multi for 300 the increase in single aint worth 300 and loosing multi core imo

Jimmy try putting your laptop on a hard surface, ie not on your duvet or something, put it on a table

#

if the temps are still that high

#

try a laptop stand, this will require a external mouse and keyboard but it lets air get underneath the laptop

silk ice
#

that and laptop thermals are just awful in general

vast meadow
#

yeah

silk ice
#

my laptop now is always super hot with an i7-8850H and a P1000, but provided its propped up with additional fans beneath it not much I can do

grizzled bloom
#

Can remove bottom cover and add speed holes where the cooler sucks in air

#

You'll get more dust but better airflow

silk ice
#

Yea I've also considered undervolting my laptop but don't really know what I'm doing so have avoided it

grizzled bloom
#

Most laptops don't let you do that anyway

silk ice
#

I read online other people had done it with their Lenovo P1's but I also haven't messed with it too much

#

Ahh ok that makes sense

#

And it was fairly useless for the average consumer imo

white plinth
#

what temp should my cpu be running at if i just installed it?

silk ice
white plinth
#

in the bios is said 90C

silk ice
#

what cpu and what cooler?

white plinth
#

just installed ryzen 7 5800

#

and and aio pump

cyan raft
#

Not too sure but I think that’s a bit high

silk ice
#

so I have heard about the 5800x running hot but not that hot, is the aio plugged into the right header and did you use thermal paste?

white plinth
#

yes. its plugged into where i had it before and its cooler master masterliquid ml240r

#

phantom gaming

vast meadow
vast meadow
white plinth
#

its on norm,al performanve

silk ice
white plinth
#

yes fresh thermal paste

vast meadow
cyan raft
#

Can you hear the pump running?

bitter oyster
#

thank you yea that's what I'm figuring I've been trying to find a answer for a few days now

white plinth
#

yes

#

i hear it all rumming

#

but the bios says aio pump n/a

cyan raft
#

What thermal paste are you using?

white plinth
#

insignia

#

is there a gui thing for my cooler master any one kniw?

#

Ok. So I restarted and now it's sitting at 80

#

In bios

#

Wait no its climbing back up

elfin warren
#

Plug the pump into the AIO header

#

Is it?

white plinth
#

Yes.

elfin warren
#

And it's not showing RPM in the BIOS?

white plinth
#

No it says n/a

elfin warren
#

If it's not showing RPM in the BIOS, check to be sure you have all the pins lined up properly

white plinth
#

Imma take it back apart and look at it

elfin warren
#

If the pins are proper, then the AIO is defective

white plinth
#

Anyone have like a video how to install this thing?

#

Cuz apparantly the one I had was wrong

elfin warren
#

What cooler is it exactly?

#

Cooler master which model?

white plinth
#

Ml240r

#

Phantom gaming argb

elfin warren
#

You peeled the plastic off the pump right?

white plinth
#

Yes

elfin warren
#

Ok, seen it happen before

white plinth
#

It'd the same pump I've been using

#

With my last cpu

elfin warren
#

Ahhhh, kkk

#

What motherboard?

#

And what CPU was it on before?

white plinth
#

Tyzeb 7 1700x

#

Ryzen

#

Mobo us asus b450 rog strix

#

Update version 430q

#

4301

#

I did the update you told me to do

elfin warren
#

AH, I remember you now 🙂

white plinth
#

Everything is plugged in correctly

elfin warren
#

Ok, you DO have an AIO pump header in the center of the board. I'd double check that connection for sure. How many wires are on the AIO pump wire? 2, 3, 4? If only 2 wires, you won't have RPM feedback anyway.
Also check to be sure the latches are seated correctly on the AM4 mount. They like to be finicky and make sure the thumb screws are tight.

white plinth
#

Put more thermal past on?

elfin warren
#

That's not the issue with temps that high

white plinth
#

In the center of my board?

#

Would it be marked aio pump header?

elfin warren
#

Yes

#

Just above the PCI-E slot

white plinth
#

And the colored wires? There's 4

#

Wait I see it

devout mothBOT
#
HannandGrenade#6801 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

elfin warren
#

The wire that you're plugging into the AIO Pump header. How many individual wires are on the plug that goes into the motherboard?

white plinth
#

I have nothing plugged in thdre

#

😊🤣

elfin warren
#

Plug the pump in there

#

and the fans into the CPU_FAN header

white plinth
#

Ya im trying to see which one gets plugged in there now

#

I'm guessing the other one comming from the pump

elfin warren
#

Not the RGB one

#

The one that has vertical tabs on it

#

Like this

white plinth
#

This one?

#

Cuz I have a couple like that

elfin warren
#

Yes

#

One of those comes directly from the part on the CPU

#

That one goes to the AIO_PUMP header

#

The one from the Fans goes to the CPU_FAN header

white plinth
#

Okay so the two from the fans also go on the mobo?

#

Non3 of them go to thus control panel thing in the back?

elfin warren
#

Two from the fans?

white plinth
#

Yes

elfin warren
#

Fans should go to a splitter cable

#

With a single cable end

#

There are two ends from the fan but one is RGB

#

The other is power

#

Find the one that looks like your picture

#

Connect it to CPU_FAN header up by the ram slots on the top of the board

white plinth
#

Okay working on that bow

#

Now

elfin warren
#

THe other two cables are aRGB cables

white plinth
#

And the cables are marked right?

elfin warren
#

No

#

Not the power ones

#

The other ones may have markings for aRGB

white plinth
#

Okay I've just unplugged it all cuz whew it was a mess

elfin warren
#

XD

white plinth
#

Bruh cuz like

#

I had everything plugged into these

elfin warren
white plinth
#

Bruh that cable management

elfin warren
#

Ok, those are aRGB cables

#

They make the colors

white plinth
#

Eff the colors lol

#

So these go where

elfin warren
#

SO those two in your hands look like power? They should go to a splitter cable that goes from 2 connections to 1 and then to the CPU_FAN header

white plinth
#

Technically

#

It's these 4

elfin warren
#

part N

white plinth
#

Thise from the fans

elfin warren
#

mmhmmm

white plinth
elfin warren
#

BRB, hang on

#

RED =POWER
PURPLE = RGB

white plinth
#

Purple is power

elfin warren
#

SO the two POWER wires should go to CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT right next to each other

white plinth
#

?

elfin warren
#

Please read text above your pic

white plinth
#

Oh thanks

elfin warren
#

SO red circled wires go to CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT

#

Wire from PUMP goes to AIO_PUMP

white plinth
#

And then the rgbs go to the things in the back for led?

elfin warren
#

Yes. Then the things in the back go to the motherboard for LED control

white plinth
#

For the power

#

And

#

So that thing in the back isn't necessary for use then

#

Thats dumb

elfin warren
#

What is that thing

#

It's a wire

#

Ohhhh Isee

white plinth
#

Yeah its the one coming from the pump

elfin warren
#

That's the power for the pump

white plinth
#

To the aio pump ot

#

Slot

elfin warren
#

Yeah and only two wires I see

#

So no way to tell if the pump is working in the BIOS or not

#

Need 3 wires for that :/

white plinth
#

Dang

elfin warren
#

But anyway, try it now

#

see what happens

white plinth
#

I'll just know from the temp then

elfin warren
#

Ya

white plinth
#

I found the splitters you were talking about

#

Didn't need them I don't think tho

#

Cus I just put the power next to eachother like you said

elfin warren
#

ya!

white plinth
#

Sorry I'm slow

#

My 4 month old just screaming at me

#

And my girl making fun of me

#

Lol

#

Thanks for the help

elfin warren
#

You're welcome!

#

Understood on the interruptions, we all have lives and things to do

white plinth
#

Okay so after that

#

Temp still going up

#

To 87

elfin warren
#

:/

white plinth
#

Immediately went to 90

elfin warren
#

Pull the cooler pump off and send a pic, let's look at the thermal paste pattern and mounting pressure

#

Wait a sec

#

Before you do that

#

put your hand on the pump

#

is it buzzing?

white plinth
elfin warren
#

Fans are at 2K RPM, that's good

white plinth
#

Yes it's buzzing

elfin warren
#

That means the pump is most likely stuck

#

It shouldn't be buzzing or vibrating really, I just touched mine for comparison

white plinth
#

I feel it slightly

#

I'll pull it off

#

I will say the aio pump on the mobo is 4 pins but the one comming from the pump is 3

elfin warren
#

Oh it's 3

#

Should have RPM

#

So if no RPM then pump ded

white plinth
elfin warren
#

Ya, jus tmake sure it aligns with the tab on the fan header

plush timber
#

Question: my computer seems to shut off randomly. Had happened a few times now. I was just playing cod and it turned off. Turn it back on and nothing happens. But the dram light stays lit on the mobo. If I wait a bit the computer will come back on just like before. I don't know. Meh.

vast meadow
white plinth
#

@elfin warren

#

So

#

53 degrees now

#

It was either that the pump was not seated correctly orrrrrrrrrr

#

I plugged the pump into a cpu fan and not the aio

#

Cuuz they was next to eachother

#

Ya I can see the rpms now

#

Thanks yall

plush timber
white plinth
#

@elfin warren now hopefully my cpu won't hold back other stuff. Especially since I basically destroyed that last cpu cuz all this was wrong

vast meadow
plush timber
vast meadow
#

Double check that

plush timber
vast meadow
#

The ram will default to 2133 or 2666 but we'll see

plush timber
#

This is the ram

vast meadow
#

You were using docp profile?

plush timber
#

Yeah

vast meadow
#

Do you have it in the right slots?

plush timber
#

Yeah. I mean I've been using it like this for almost a year

vast meadow
#

From cpu going right, empty, ram, empty, ram

plush timber
#

Yep

vast meadow
#

Hmm

#

It's not running docp profile properly?

plush timber
#

Could the vibration of the stock fan for the ryzen be shaking it loose?

#

How would I check if it's running it properly or not

vast meadow
#

You could be unlucky and your cpu might not be able to do 3600

plush timber
#

Poop. Ryzen 5 3600

vast meadow
#

I mean it's unlikely but it's a possibility

plush timber
#

Crap it says ddr4 3200

vast meadow
#

Mine supports 3600 but idk

plush timber
#

It says in the new egg details memory type

vast meadow
#

Not always accurate a lot of 3600s will support 3600mhz but it's not always a possibility you got unlucky

silk ice
vast meadow
plush timber
#

Dook. So will it default to 3200 then? The mobo profile is 3600. So I figured no issue. This was all compiled by people in the channel to make the build too

vast meadow
#

Do you have 2 docp profiles?

plush timber
#

I'll check

Just tell them you tried it in an intel system too tbh

plush timber
#

In the my computer details it says 3600 so everything is fine with it but the cpu is only utilizing 3200?

vast meadow
#

Huh

#

That makes no sense

silk ice
#

I'm about to do that I was out of town so I gave it a rest for a few days but yea I'm just going to tell them that. But I get the impression it's just their crappy ic's because no other brand says "ryzen struggles with 16gb dimms at 3600+MHz" I'm just pissed at them because I'm like well then why do you list them as Amd compatible if you know they don't work.

vast meadow
#

Yeah :/

plush timber

#

So now I'm getting post failures apparently?

silk ice
#

My other concern is I'll RMA them, the new kit still won't work and I'll have just been without a pc for a few weeks while rma'ing it. Granted this time I can keep the packaging in better shape if I get a new kit and if it doesn't work I'll just try to resell it to someone with an Intel system and buy ballistix

Ffs could this all be because the cpu or ram overheated? I only have a stock fan setup. Maybe I should consider an aio or more case fans. Will need to research that junk now. Already emailed gskill too... I mean warranty claim maybe

vast meadow
#

Nah stock is fine unless you mounted it janky

#

It doesn't give full performance but it wouldn't crash

#

@plush timber what does whocrashed say

plush timber
#

Bug check description: This indicates that an expected clock interrupt on a secondary processor, in a multi-processor system, was not received within the allocated interval. This can be caused by non-responding hardware or by a overheated CPU (thermal issue).
The crash took place in a file system driver. Since there is no other responsible driver detected, this could be pointing to a malfunctioning drive or corrupted disk. It's suggested that you run CHKDSK.

#

typing chkdsk in command gives me that i dont have sufficient privileges lol

plush timber
#

copy that

vast meadow
#

If that doesn't detect anything make sure your driver's are up to date

plush timber
#

yeah i'll check device manager

#

Imma go to sleep but gl I'm sure someone else can help ya

General fix for random windows problems

From an admin command prompt or powershell, run:

sfc /scannow

If that doesn't work, try:

dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Then, try running sfc again.
Repeat as necessary

i will ty. i don tthink i have admin for some reason. in command it said at least. i'll see. ty

i think its an ideapad s340

silk ice

do you have the second half of the model maybe on a sticker on the bottom like s340-"something else"

Also have you attempted reseating the memory?

ill tell my friend to try that

Hey so since ripjaws are on sale I figured I'd ask is $188 for 2x16GB of 3600cl16 ballistix worth it over $165 on sale for 2x16GB of 3600CL18 Ripjaws. Since it's looking like I might just bight the bullet and sell this patriot kit to my buddy who's building an intel pc.

elfin warren
#

Ya

silk ice
#

if you want cl16 instead of 18 for $10 more is crucial but idk if that's worth it since that was pretty much my question above lol

elfin warren
#

It's worth for AMD IMO

#

Haven't seen a lot of INtel benchmarks

keen steppe

Its getting paired with a 5600x

elfin warren
#

3600 C16 then

silk ice
elfin warren

Asrock bios tends to be unintuitive and has lots of small problems

does that chip have pcie 4 yet?

vast meadow
grizzled bloom
#

Intel is better price /performance in the midrange now, and both are dead platforms so no upgrade worries

pretty sure 11400 stock being low is because it's stock and PL kinda sucks

like mobos w pcie 4 nvme support?

to me pcie 4 matters

do you have 90+TB of uncompressed footage

Ohh well

vast meadow

yea a lot of the gen 4 drives are essentially gen 3 with burst performance lol

hollow thorn

I was about to add optane might makes more sense for battering things with read/write afaik

sleek crag
hollow thorn
#

p31 might help there

sleek crag
#

il check it out

hollow thorn
#

but it's not that much better

grizzled bloom
#

P31 100%

elfin warren
#

Ya

hollow thorn
#

qd1 it's slightly better than like rocket 4 plus and sn850 for rnd read

elfin warren
#

P31 Gold out does quite a fe gen 4 drives

hollow thorn
#

but for seq pcie 4.0 drives win

#

if you just need to get 90tb of data from one place to another

#

but that's also where optane might come in

sleek crag
#

true

#

i used to use a raid 5. rly fast

#

now one tiny nvme replaces a huge raid 5 system

vernal cosmos
sleek crag
#

its so extremely worth it lol

tawdry pebble
#

Ok but i Just dont get how everyone sais amd is better and somehow that's not true

sleek crag
#

raid 10 vs raid 5 depends on workflow and ideal hardware setup etc

#

raid 5 was superior in speed for me

tawdry pebble
#

@vast meadow

vast meadow
hollow thorn
#

I mean, raid 5 should just be better for more drives afaik

sleek crag
vernal cosmos
#

raid 10 has the speed of raid 0 while having raid 1 parity iirc

vast meadow
hollow thorn
#

p31 is a pcie 3.0 drive

#

it's just a great drive

grizzled bloom
sleek crag

this is interesting

vast meadow
vast meadow

#

oh yea forgot sn550 also great at rnd write, but yeye

optane just chillin

the other one

#

sn550 is

unless you're talking about sn850?

vernal cosmos
hollow thorn
sleek crag
#

yes

hollow thorn
#

lemme grab quick data on sn850

silk ice
#

also out of curiosity how is optane like over twice the speed of p31 in a lot of things if the p31 saturates pcie gen 3x4?

sleek crag
hollow thorn
#

this does average sustained random read so this chart is different from the other one, but ye

#

p31 is still chillin

tawdry pebble
#

And why is everyone suddenky talking about ssds?

hollow thorn
#

There's also no matter how much you saturate the bandwidth, rnd performance can still differ

sleek crag
#

wait guys i have a real smooth brain question

silk ice
sleek crag
#

hvnt thought about this

vast meadow
sleek crag
#

what about 4x or 6x regular sata SSDs in raid 0

#

all 1tb

hollow thorn
#

there's also latency that comes into play and such

elfin warren
#

RAID 0 is a great way to lose data

grizzled bloom
elfin warren
#

XD

sleek crag
#

false sorry

#

i mean sure true

#

but no in my workflow

elfin warren
#

Lose one drive lose it all

#

that's all

sleek crag
#

sure but thats fine

silk ice
sleek crag
#

because it doesnt matter

#

its all temp and working files

#

everything is already backed up in real time

hollow thorn
#

pretty sure raid 0 if one drive fails you lose data on every single drive

#

but yea

sleek crag
#

sure yes but thats fine

#

i just already have a lot of sata SSDs lying around

hollow thorn
#

well, it's an interesting thought

#

@sleek crag my guess is that the latency would be it's downfall

#

since they're separate drives

silk ice
#

Yea it's raid 0 for 0 redundancy is how I remember lol

sleek crag
#

i should find a test to see random 4k r/w with a few SSDs

elfin warren
#

Exactly, it's fine if it's used properly

sleek crag
#

in raid 0

tawdry pebble
hollow thorn
#

5600x is fine

grizzled bloom
#

If you're getting into raid then just raid the m.2 drives

tawdry pebble
#

Or x

#

Ok thx dude

sleek crag
#

true that would be ideal

grizzled bloom
#

M.2 is about the same price as sata now lol

sleek crag
#

i have probably 6x 1tb sata sdd doing nothing rn tho

#

and a hardware raid card

And always available

5600x has supply issues not always in stock

agreed

elfin warren

Less cost per core

You get 12 cores

You cant even get 12 cores on intel so

vs 5800 yeah but not vs 3700

the 3700 performance is high for price

For what?

the secret is never give up looking I just randomly looked at the 5600x for some random reason back in like early February and it was just randomly in stock lol.

vast meadow
grizzled bloom
#

Just like the shuffle. Only way to get it is persistence.

silk ice
#

I think the funniest thing with the 5600x was I bought it and then popped over to pcmr discord and was like "hey idk if y'all know but 5600x is just in stock" and I got all sorts of "Yea it has been blah blah blah" and then like a week later it went back to being scarce lol

elfin warren
#

I think dood dipped to buy a CPU XD

sleek crag
#

Summary: While Intel’s per-core performance improvements do have noticeable impacts when compared to the 10th Gen, they still lag behind the Ryzen CPUs with the same core count or price. Only one Intel CPU managed to outperform an equal Ryzen CPU, but only in one specific test. Otherwise, AMD outperformed Intel across the board, often at a lower price point.

Unreal Engine is an application that will leverage as many CPU cores as you throw at it. As such, Intel only offers up to 8 cores, while Ryzen also has 12 and 16 core options that significantly outperform anything Intel has. The Z590 platform also has improvements over the Z490, such as PCIe Gen4, but again, those improvements are putting them on par with what AMD has been offering for a while.

elfin warren
#

It's price/performance

#

Not just raw performance

silk ice
#

I mean you have amd motherboards already I would argue that's value enough to stay amd though unless you plan on getting new motherboards

vast meadow
#

11700k/11900k trash price perf not a bad cpu but trash because you still gotta pay the money for the dam thing

sleek crag
#

Summary: For CPU based rendering, the number of cores is the primary concern. Intel’s decision to cut two cores from the i9 11900K really hurt it with this generation. It barely manages to match the performance of the much less expensive AMD Ryzen 9 5800X. Only slightly more expensive than the 11900k is the 5900X which boasts 40% faster rendering performance.

The lower tier 11700K and 11600k do show significant performance improvements over the last generation but are just playing catchup with the similar offering from AMD. Then there is the upgrade path. If you did want to buy a workstation now, with the intent of upgrading the CPU later to improve rendering performance, Intel’s top offering barely matches the middle of the pack from AMD. When it comes to CPU rendering, AMD is the only clear choice.

grizzled bloom
#

11700k earned its "waste of sand" award, and 11900k is the child that should never have existed

silk ice
# vast meadow Ehh how so?

I mean I would figure since he already owns an x570 board and a b450 that it's more money to buy new motherboards then are saved by opting for intel

vast meadow
#

Ohh i thought you meant theo the guy from Netherlands or just in general amd boards are better lol

which intel, at which price point, and in which mobo supporting pcie 4 nvme?

silk ice
hollow thorn
#

basically

vast meadow
elfin warren
#

Ya

#

I thought 11900k was cheaper

hollow thorn
#

no decent intel chips support pcie 4.0 afaik @sleek crag

grizzled bloom
#

11900k loses to the 10900k in several workloads lol

elfin warren
#

wat

vast meadow
sleek crag
#

honestly this is the only source i really trust for workstation benchmarks

hollow thorn
#

puget systems is great

#

very useful

sleek crag
#

** Also, while not covered in this testing, the new motherboard chipset, Z590, also offers some nice features, such as PCIe Gen4. This puts Intel on par with what AMD’s Ryzen line has been offering. We will have a specific Z490 vs Z590 article up later once we have some time with the new motherboards. **

silk ice
#

I would just say stick with amd since you already have an x570 board any savings from opting for intel are lost buying a new motherboard unless you already plan to buy a new motherboard

sleek crag
#

im staying with AMD for a long time.

silk ice

I think things got very off track looking at the general case and not what you already owned lol

i honestly want to switch to amd gpu asap when theyre finally solid. but for workstation they are not optimized and not reliable

You NEED a motherboard with bios flashback anyways but bad choice imo

What cooler would you even use if you cant afford a decent motherboard

silk ice

Without bios flashback you can't use that board without getting an older cpu to update the bios

And if you plan on using a stock cooler on a 5600x don't

It will perform worse than an i5 11400 with a 30$ one
