#

Socket 1150? Open box will be hard to find for something that old

#

The founders edition 3080 is 285mm, the longest I see are 337mm, so you'll be fine

fading mauve
#

are refurbished good

grizzled bloom
#

I find refurbished to be better quality than new in a lot of cases, since they go through more testing

naive pendant
#

@grizzled bloom are the stock fans on it fine

#

Or should I buy other ones

grizzled bloom
#

They're usually good enough, but if they are too loud you can change them

naive pendant
#

And for the little singular fan slot to the top left of the case on almost every case, will a normal fan work fine?

#

I assume so

#

I have 3 Corsair 120 mms which also suck but may be better then the stock fans

fading mauve
#

i hope i find one in the us

#

if it says supports 4th gen since i have a 3rd gen on newegg @grizzled bloom

grizzled bloom
#

So you have a 3000 series processor? That's Socket 1155 not 1150

fading mauve
grizzled bloom
#

Socket 1151

fading mauve
#

I thought you guys ship in the us but from China

grizzled bloom
#

Third party marketplace

fading mauve
#

Newegg has 3rd party too

grizzled bloom
#

H81 is 4000 series btw

fading mauve
#

$50 not that bad at least it’s not a chinese board Fal

#

it’s 1150 socket Fal

grizzled bloom
#

Didn't you say you had a 3rd gen processor though?

fading mauve
#

yeah

grizzled bloom
#

1150 is 4th gen

#

1155 is second and third

fading mauve
#

ah

#

i am better off with this board

grizzled bloom
#

A 3000 series processor will not fit that socket

fading mauve
#

which one will i need

grizzled bloom
#

The one I linked, Z77 chipset with 1155 socket

#

Z means you can overclock with it

fading mauve
#

oh i need 1150

grizzled bloom
#

So you have a 4000 series processor, 4th gen?

fading mauve
#

Intel Core i5 (3rd Gen) 3470 / 3.2 GHz

#

that’s what i have

grizzled bloom
#

Socket Type: Socket 1155

fading mauve
#

hu

#

i thought i had 1150

#

Fal

grizzled bloom
#

You need a board with one of these chipsets

fading mauve
#

ah

#

how can i find out

#

on new egg

fading mauve
#

should their be a sticker on the dell

#

your right

#

and i found a open box with the 1155 socket

#

Fall

#

thx for the correction

#

the open box for $59 is the right one it matches

whats a good speed I can statically overclock a i9 10850k
I have an asus prime-a and my aio is arctic liquid freezer II 360mm

#

-a speed I can just have it at most of the time so nothing insane/wanna stay on the safer side but definitely oc a bit

#

try 4.6-4.8 and see if it crashes doing prime 95 and stress test it. Also check temps

#

after try 4.9 and so on

Oh build chat

This is what I came or

#

For* that ram is not on the same wavelength as the OLOy Blade ram

devout mothBOT
#
BigM8#0001 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

stable dirge
#

Bro even this one

#

That's worse

#

3600 c16 16 16 > 4000 c16 19 19

#

You can find better binned Samsung B die sticks than the OLOy Blade kit but it's not easy

#

loose tRCD timings

#

That's definitely not bdie

#

That's some Rev E

grizzled bloom
#

That's... not how that works. The g.skill kits he linked are b-die guaranteed so they can overclock to straight 14-14-14.

stable dirge
#

The OLOy Blade kit

#

By default xmp is 3600 14 14 14 1.4v

#

You don't have to do anything

#

The kit he linked was not that

grizzled bloom
#

Ok but try doing those timings at 4000

stable dirge
#

You can

#

Because it's B die

#

Some premium B die

#

The 4000 c16 19 is an inferior kit

#

It's some really good Rev E but the loose 19 tRCD timing gives it away as Rev E

hollow thorn
#

oc is oc, it's all wack

stable dirge
#

You recommended him spend more for worse ram

#

That's my issue

hollow thorn
#

reve does do pretty well with just upping freq though (dunno context, but ye)

stable dirge
#

I wouldn't be saying anything if they said to not buy some expensive ram and argue it doesn't make much of a difference

#

They argued buying the more expensive ram was the better buy

#

That's the issue

hollow thorn
#

@stable dirge side note, 4000 16-19-19 at 1.4v looks to be a known b die bin from fitz's b die sheet

stable dirge
#

4000 c16 19 19 is weak

devout mothBOT
#
BigM8#0001 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

stable dirge
#

That's BAD b die if it is

#

B die tends to be flat timings

hollow thorn
#

meh, still good imo, 3200c14 is what I consider decent

stable dirge
#

He found for 150 bucks 3600 c14 flat

hollow thorn
#

It should be able to tighten tRCD fairly easily

stable dirge
#

That's pog

hollow thorn
#

for 2x16?

stable dirge
#

2x8

hollow thorn
#

yea the kit linked was 2x16

stable dirge
#

I know

#

It's also bad b die

#

Or Rev E

#

And it costs more

#

That's 20 dollars more than buying 2 kits of the OLOy ram

#

4x8

hollow thorn
#

should be less, reve or decent b die still p great imo

#

and also, I would prefer 2x16 over 4x8 for upgradability reasons

stable dirge
#

If we had a 1 to 10 range of bad and good B die

hollow thorn
#

Both options are valid options

stable dirge
#

The OLOy kit is 8 out of 10

#

Very very hard to beat that

#

They exist but it will cost a lot to beat it

hollow thorn
#

I mean

#

4000 14-15-15 is a b die bin

#

:D

stable dirge
#

4000 14 15 15 is good

#

He linked 4000 16 19 19

#

If it was 14 15 15 I'd rate it

#

I'd be like bravo

#

👍

hollow thorn
#

I just believe you can still tighten tRCD on that

#

If it's b die

stable dirge
#

Probably

#

But it costs more

hollow thorn
#

reve usually doesn't tighten too well

stable dirge
#

And it's worse

#

....

#

Objectively the kit is worse

grizzled bloom
#

B-die can usually get tRCD down to 140-150ns

hollow thorn
#

depends still tbh, if you want upgradability or not

stable dirge
#

I mean...

#

For what he needs 32 is plenty

#

The way I personally see it

#

If you need 64

#

You need 128

#

Type thing

hollow thorn
#

Who really knows how software develops over the next few years

stable dirge
#

In a situation where you can make use of that ram you probably need more than just 64

hollow thorn
#

It's always a nice-to-have

#

I'm probably still missing some context though

stable dirge
#

I told him about that kit in another server

#

He asked people here about the recommendation

#

And they gave him a bad one

#

And the confidence in that recommendation

#

😫

#

Like I said it's not that they recommended him something ELSE. It was they recommended him something more expensive and worse

#

At the same time

hollow thorn
#

Well, I personally don't believe it's just worse, but they're close nuff

stable dirge
#

OK so

#

They're not that cloae

#

I have a B die spreadsheet that explains it rather well

hollow thorn
#

I am probably already on that spreadsheet right now lel

stable dirge
#

But uh

#

Yeah

#

If you have it

hollow thorn
#

I'm looking at the 1.55v predictions for the two xmp's

stable dirge
#

You can see the ns ratio for voltage

#

3600 c14 1.4v is just pog

#

The 4000 c14 15 at 1.5v from OLOy as well is a smidge better

hollow thorn
#

I don't have the link to the oloy kit, is it 1.4v or 1.45v?

stable dirge
#

1.4

hollow thorn
#

interesting

stable dirge
#

3600 c14 14 14 1.4

hollow thorn
#

thought it was the EOL xmp

stable dirge
#

Nah

#

Look at how GREEN that ns is

#

😫

hollow thorn
#

lol

stable dirge
#

After looking at that sheet

#

You will understand my point

hollow thorn
#

hey, I thought of an excuse, on daisy chain boards, theoretically, 2x16 would OC better than 4x8 xD

#

But yea, I see your point, I also thought the oloy kit was a different xmp

stable dirge
#

Yeah but it will also be held back anyways because it's a 16GB kit

#

Not that matters much either

hollow thorn
#

I mean, it'll still be 2 ranks per channel either way

stable dirge
#

In my case I bought that kit too

#

I have a T top Board

#

4x8

hollow thorn
#

oh and another thing, oloy kit clearance is wacky

stable dirge
#

Works better for me

stable dirge
#

For sure

#

The blades aren't that big

hollow thorn
#

Well, width too

stable dirge
#

I have the Warhawk kit rn. Sold 32GB of 3600 c18 22 22

#

For 100 dollars

hollow thorn
#

there's a fair few cases where top mount aio can be blocked by ram that's too wide

stable dirge
#

But Milk is going for 360mm aio front

hollow thorn
#

mainly an issue with like vengeance rgb being just bad, but anyways

stable dirge
#

So this wouldn't matter but yes something to take into consideration

hollow thorn
#

I'm just giving excuses for places where the trident kit would be better, but yea, oloy kit was probably better for the guy who asked for a suggestion

stable dirge
#

Mindblown that the Liquid Freezer II is 360mm is only 125 dollars

hollow thorn
#

thought it was 120 for a while

stable dirge
#

I didn't know

#

They were always out of stock

hollow thorn
#

Oh well, freezer ii is just too good

stable dirge
#

They were like a mystery product

#

Now since they're readily available

#

I might have to cop

hollow thorn
#

They were readily avaliable for like few months iirc

stable dirge
#

But I was in a coma

hollow thorn
#

then they just disappeared for while

stable dirge
#

I had no clue

hollow thorn
#

Well, the past doesn't matter too much anyways

stable dirge

Bro the LFII makes every other aio look stupid for even attempting to exist

A more expensive product that's worse....

It has an ARGB variant

20 bucks more

# winged roost Will 5600x bottleneck a 3080ti?

Tbh don't worry bout bottlenecks as long as your system is balanced, there's always going to be some bottle neck in your system. I'd recommend a 5800x or 5900x though if you want to play 1080p(or in general imo)

cyan raft
#

Even the software could be a bottleneck

vast meadow
#

Yep if it's not hardware, the game engine etc can bottleneck

dense frost
#

if hes playing at 720p he might be bottlenecked significantly anough to notice, but I doubt anyone would notice the difference between a 5600x and 5900x frame rates when paired with a 3080ti, even at 1080p.

#

you talking about hundreds of fps

But who would be playing 720p with a 3080

240 is ok

3700x

vernal cosmos
#

No wonder

5800x outputs quite a lot more heat

Zen 3 overall heats a lot more than zen 2

glass plover

I'd of gotten the 280 if the lancool 2 would let me top mount a 280 :/

vernal cosmos
#

Front mount is also a thing mate

mild birch
#

It also doesn’t help that the radiator is only 288 cm^2 of area

glass plover
#

If I were to front mount it then I'd have an area with no psu airflow and an open space because it's made for a 360mm or 3 120s

mild birch
#

Ideally 280s would be best for dealing with heat soak and general dissipation

#

360s and 420s are fine on custom pumps

#

But your run of the mill Asetek or CoolIt OEM will struggle

#

High flow rate 280 often beats lower flow rate 360
In more ways than one

10900ks will fairly regularly do 5.2 all core, 10850k you'll be lucky if it can do 5.0

Any idea why my DDR4-4000 RAM has to be underclocked to 3800 MHz to POST reliably?

elfin warren
#

Because your AMD CPU FCLK can't handle 2000 mhz

#

2000 mhz FCLK = 4000 mhz RAM

#

1900 FCLK = 3800 mhz RAM

fresh wren

Is there a way I can see how high a frequency my FCLK can handle without toying around with it for hours?

My 3700x seems to randomly get hotter at like 1 or 2% load

Hey Pato are there msi that don’t come from China so i don’t end up with a chinese import

what

elfin warren
#

They're looking for a MB for an intel 3rd or 4th gen. Most are out of production and will be second hand. New ones will be weird chinese reproduction things.

Basically all MSI factories are either in China or Taiwan so...

This one is a chinese import i called msi up they don’t have this one in the system

I mean the board format and power are standardized

It's the drivers and other support that will be wacky

fading mauve

the front connector for dell are proprietary

elfin warren

That board looks all standard

#

It's just the drivers and software support that might be odd

#

Especially if MSI doesn't know that board exists

#

should be fine if you let windows pull drivers in device manager right

elfin warren

Maybe? Windows relies on HWID

SO if the HWID is odd or wonky it won't know what to do

Sorry, Device_ID

It is the successor of LGA 1156 (known as Socket H) and was itself succeeded by LGA 1150 in 2013. Along with selected variations of LGA 2011 socket, it was the ...

I have a case

split copper
#

yea just transfer the parts into your case

#

that's that option

fading mauve
#

yeah i have a dell Proprietary board which special front panel connectors

split copper
#

I would probably go for a q77 or b75 board for more features

fading mauve
#

the new link looks like a corpate case

#

q77?

split copper
#

shows all the chipsets for 1155 and their features

fading mauve
#

it’s the chipset

split copper
#

more money ofc

#

more ram, has usb3.0, more drive ports

i think 1155 is office cpu like anti theft lock

Does anyone know why my mobo won’t use my lab cable as wifi

elfin warren
#

Lab cable?

smoky widget
#

LAN?

river tundra
#

LAN*** my bad lmao

elfin warren
#

Because lan is Ethernet

#

It's not WiFi

#

Do you have a WiFi card or ethernet drivers? What's the base issue here, no internet?

river tundra
#

Yes no internet.

elfin warren
#

Brand new build?

river tundra
#

Yes

elfin warren
#

Mmmmm, ethernet cable from your PC to the modem or router?

river tundra
#

Yes.

elfin warren
#

Go to Device Manager, check Network Adapters

#

Is there a Realtek or Intel GBE adapter in there?

river tundra
#

Check Dm

elfin warren
#

I'm sorry, I don't know who that is but I'm trying to help. Need to see if there are Ethernet drivers installed. If not, you'll need to install them via USB drive from another PC or connecting your phone via USB and sharing the internet connection

#

Tell me what motherboard it is and I can get you a download link for the drivers

#

Or if there is an issue showing in Device Manager, tell the code and I can see how to fix it

river tundra
#

Give me like 2 min we’re getting that info

elfin warren

Sounds good

Here's an example of an ethernet device from my PC, the Realtek one.

its a b550 board so maybe i should update the bious

vast meadow
#

Mb, also mixing ram could definitely be an issue sometimes it just doesn't work

#

I'd recommend just trying the 3600 in slots a2 and b2

elfin warren
#

Mixing ram speeds can lead to oof

burnt spear
#

Doesn't work as in how?

#

Just hinders performance?

elfin warren
#

Kind of a waste of the 3600 speed ram and can also lead to booting issues. If it's working fine then keep going

vast meadow
#

Nah puts strain on memory controller

elfin warren
#

BUt the boost you'll get from 3600 would be nice

burnt spear
#

Damn

elfin warren
#

Ye

burnt spear
#

Alr thanks for the help

elfin warren
#

AMD benefits quite a bit from faster ram

#

So does newer Intel

#

I'd imagine the reason for your low performance is the ram speed TBH

Why upgrade? You won't gain anything other than looks

What thermal paste do you recommend

vernal cosmos
#

MX-4 is still great otherwise

fading mauve
#

i found this one if i want to run gta V i will have to use my cpu

#

free shipping and in my state

vernal cosmos
#

not worth it

#

since its only mobo

fading mauve
#

that’s what i need

#

@vernal cosmos i only have a dell mobo

#

what do you want me to do not have a pc

burnt spear
#

About 9600k performance level

burnt spear
#

Userbenchmark but I know how bad it is so I'm downloading a proper one

#

Is novabench a good one?

elfin warren
#

Cinebench for CPU

burnt spear
#

Nova bench put my system in the 97th percentile overall

elfin warren
#

3D mark timespy for GPU

burnt spear
#

Alr thanks just started it

#

So even if it's performing normally currently, would it still benefit from the higher ram speed?

elfin warren
#

Oh yeah

burnt spear
#

If I'm understanding it right it's currently putting it at i9-9980h for multi core, but the test is still going

vast meadow
burnt spear
#

Which is just above 9880h multi core

elfin warren
#

Cinbench which version?

burnt spear
#

R23

#

I think that's the version anyways

elfin warren
#

which CPU?

#

3600?

burnt spear
#

Yeah

elfin warren
#

That's a little low

#

Should be 9400 or better

#

Probs due to ram speed

burnt spear
#

It performs same as 8700k

#

As in normally should

#

Idk what it currently does

elfin warren
#

Yeah, it's still a little low. Should be better than 8700K, spank it in fact

burnt spear
elfin warren
#

Well, maybe not spank but faster

burnt spear
#

That's what I was looking at

elfin warren
#

Yeah, you're losing a bit with the slow ram speeds

#

Difference in games could be as much as 10%

burnt spear
#

Do you think its worth the downgrade in ram size?

#

Oh thay score is just multi core

#

I'm running the single core right now

elfin warren
#

I do, 16 GB should be more than enough

vast meadow
burnt spear
#

I use about 90% of 16 (im too lazy to do the math) with disc and streaming while gaming

#

I found the 3600mhz with my current mobo for 80$ on reddit so figured why not lmao

fading mauve
#

since my cpu fan on my dell i can’t get it off the plug

vast meadow
fading mauve
#

is amd cheaper there Intel

vast meadow
#

What cpu again

fading mauve
#

this price

#

$109

vast meadow
fading mauve
#

i will go with the $109

#

cheaper then 120

vast meadow
fading mauve
#

Intel core i 5 3rd gen 3470

#

i can swap cpu if i want

#

i will just have to apply thermal paste

vast meadow
#

Ohh thats way too much for an old board

fading mauve
#

what price should i be looking for

#

$67

vast meadow
#

That's definitely a more reasonable price

#

Around 50$ or so

fading mauve
#

can you help me find one in the us so i don’t get a china import

vast meadow
#

I am wrecked atm lol so aint up to going searching lol

burnt spear
#

Wow which is just below a 7700k

#

That's really bad

#

Welp

#

Time to take the ram out ig

#

Bruh the gpu is just barely in the way

#

😐

fading mauve
#

is this one good

#

pato

#

is this a good pricd

vast meadow
#

That's way better pricing

fading mauve
#

is asus the same as msi

burnt spear
#

alr i got the ram out, gonna run benchmarks now

fading mauve
#

to get 8 gigs i hope i can get the dell heat sink out

#

and put it on

burnt spear
#

And so far it's now below the old multi core performance, but its got 2 min left

elfin warren
burnt spear
#

I have no clue how to do that, im guessing in the bios?

#

Yeah the multi core just finished below the 9880h

elfin warren
#

yes in the BIOS

#

usually main first page

burnt spear
#

Alr thanks

#

Will it be obvious?

fading mauve
vast meadow
burnt spear
#

They set it at 2666mhz apparently

#

Just set it to 3600 I believe

elfin warren
#

Save and Exit now

burnt spear
#

Did

#

My pc beeped and no monitors are coming on

fading mauve
#

i rather go with msi

burnt spear
#

Uhh

#

Oh there we go

#

The speed is showing as 2667

#

In task manager anyways

elfin warren
#

Yeah it didn't stick. What slots are the ram sticks in?

#

Should be A2/B2

burnt spear
#

The first, skip one, third

elfin warren
#

Yeah that's not right

#

From the CPU left to right

#

empty, ram, empty, ram

#

Probs why XMP isn't sticking

burnt spear

sigh

elfin warren

@elfin warren there's nowhere to change it under main, would I just change it under oc tweaker? It lets me change ram speed there

elfin warren

what motherboard

#

Try Simple/EZ Mode instead of Advanced

burnt spear

Oh I turned xmp on

elfin warren

Steel legend or Phantom?

Steel legend I believe

It's an asrock b550m

Idk anything other than that

elfin warren
#

OC Tweaker

burnt spear
#

Itd take me a while to find the exact model

elfin warren
#

Load XMP Setting

burnt spear

Yeah thats where I am

#

Did that

elfin warren
#

save and exit

burnt spear
#

Ty let's see if it works

#

If this doesn't idk what it is

#

But ig this is why it was performing THAT bad, its been on 2666

elfin warren
#

Probs ya

burnt spear
#

But this makes sense why I thought the 3600 was a bad pairing with the 3060 ti

#

It's been running that slow lmao

elfin warren
#

Faster ram will def help XD

burnt spear
#

My monitor still isn't turning back on

#

The pc is on tho

Looks like it

elfin warren

burnt spear
#

Does it just take time or do I have to do smthn

elfin warren
#

BIOS fully up to date?

burnt spear
#

Should be?

#

The mobo was just put in like 3 weeks ago

#

Maybe a month

elfin warren
#

EDid you update the BIOS?

burnt spear
#

A pc shop put it together (im stupid with cable managing) so they shouldve

elfin warren
#

Eh it's worth a double check

burnt spear
#

Can't really check rn though lmao

#

Is it going to fix itself or should I force power off?

elfin warren
#

Force power off.

#

:/

#

Might need a BIOS update if it's out of date, those often have ram compatibility too

burnt spear
#

Power button isn't working

#

Fun times

elfin warren
#

Use the reset button

#

Or press and hold power button for 10 seconds

#

hard power off

#

use PSU switch

burnt spear
#

Reset button didn't work

#

Oh wait

#

Start up screen came up

#

Does that mean reset button worked or bios decided to start working

#

Hell yeah memory is at 3600 in task manager

#

Idk what happened but I'm not gonna complain

elfin warren
#

Run with it!!

burnt spear
#

Time to benchmark if

#

Ig*

#

Oh wow I can see that it's doing better, with how fast it's rendering the cubes

#

It currently shows it performing same as before in multi core '-'

elfin warren
#

-_-

burnt spear
#

If this doesn't improve ima be upsetti spaghetti

limber dragon
#

cinebench doesnt care about memory speed

burnt spear
#

huh

#

It got 922

#

9122*

elfin warren
#

Really

#

-_-

burnt spear
#

'-'

#

So what you're saying is

limber dragon
#

for hwbot, its common to run jedec, just so you can clock the core higher

burnt spear
#

End me please

elfin warren
#

Well regardless if Cinebench does or not

#

Your ram from 2666 to 3600 is good

limber dragon
#

literally any other benchmark should show improvement lol

burnt spear
#

F it I used userbenchmark for an idea earlier, I guess it'll still work to show improvement

#

Cpu performed about 5% better if I'm remembering correctly

#

Welp

#

i def lost the silicon lottery

elfin warren
#

Stock cooler?

burnt spear
#

basically

#

its a coolermaster but it cools about the same

#

it sits at a max temp of 84 while under full load, but normally doesnt go over 78

elfin warren
#

yeah a better cooler would def help. Which cooler master is it?

burnt spear
#

good question

#

it came in a pre build and i was never able to match it

elfin warren
#

Ah, brb, lemme see if I can get close

burnt spear
#

someone here told me its basically a stock

#

one sec lemme send a pic, i have one somewhere

elfin warren
#

OH wow

burnt spear
#

yeah its pretty cheap

#

just another way skytech screwed me over

elfin warren
#

$30

burnt spear
#

do you think itd help that much?

#

well i guess it would atleast give me room to overclock if nothing else

#

id also need thermal paste

#

bc im a moron and have no clue where i put mine

elfin warren
#

Yeah it would

#

nah, cooler comes with paste 😉

#

I have one on my wifes 10600K

#

WOrks great

burnt spear

oh sick

#

wow cools up to 180 watts?

elfin warren
#

Ya

vast meadow
#

Yeah i upgraded my 3600 from stock cooler to id cooling se, big temp and max perf diff

elfin warren

Not sure I'd trust it to 180W but for the 3600 it's great

#

Especially compared to that brick you have right now

would anyone here like to help me match my DDR options for a new MB? I'd love some advice 🙂

elfin warren

what board and CPU

distant egret

the board specs out a bunch of speeds, some are pretty fast.

elfin warren
#

Uh

#

That CPU and motherboard aren't compatible

distant egret
#

lolz.

#

I asked the chat rep. he said it was ok, but I specifically asked what socked that CPU was.

#

I don't know what the strx4 is. :/

elfin warren
#

Ok so, why Threadripper

#

What are you doing with this?

distant egret
#

It's going to be for an artist.
Rendering things from Maya, Blender, and video like Premiere and After Effects.

elfin warren
#

Ah, OK, so TR will really be used

#

Lemme find you a board but you won't like the price XD

distant egret
#

yeah. we're watching renders go off right now and it's about 2min per frame in some cases. So we're upping the power.

elfin warren
#

Gotcha, just wanted to be sure you had an actual use case for the TR and you do

distant egret
#

lolz. I don't like ANY of the prices.. but that's the fun part right?

elfin warren
#

What do you have for a cooler?

#

And a case for the EATX motherboard?

distant egret
#

Haven't spec'd he cooler yet.
I've been looking at Noctua, water blocks are ok... but I feel like a big case with the right air system can hold up.

elfin warren
#

pair it with DDR4 3600 ram

#

Well, you need a TR4 specific cooler due to the die size of the CPU

#

If you have a big enough case, I have a good cooler for it

limber dragon
#

strx40 would be the better cpu/socket imo

#

zen+ TR was pretty bad

elfin warren
#

STR4 was oof?

#

Recommend away Fitz

#

I'm trying to find that chonky new cooler that just came out for TR but can't remember what it's called

limber dragon
#

like 3960x should be the same price as a 2990wx

#

air cooler?

elfin warren
#

it's the new phase change thing

#

I think that's what it was

limber dragon
#

there's ice giant stuff, noctua has one, and CM has one

elfin warren
#

ice giant yeah

limber dragon
#

ice giant thermocyphon

elfin warren
#

That one

limber dragon
#

pretty sure I spelled that wrong

elfin warren
distant egret
#

that's a massive cooler!

elfin warren
#

Threadripper needs massive cooling

elfin warren
#

For constant loads like OP will be doing

split copper
#

not as giant as I was hoping 😔

#

just 240 wide

distant egret
#

Any options on the MB? I have a picky request for Gigabyte.

limber dragon
#

I'd go master over the pro

#

designare and extreme should be fine too, just more $$$

distant egret
#

yeah. I was looking at the designare.

elfin warren
#

Says the 3960x should be the same price as the 2990wx

#

There's a Gigabyte board in there as well

distant egret
#

TY. I'm thinking we have a winner here.
GIGABYTE TRX40 DESIGNARE sTRX4 AMD TRX40 SATA 6Gb/s XL ATX AMD Motherboard

elfin warren
#

Yeah but you'll need a newer CPU I think?

distant egret
#

Have I told you lately that I love you?

elfin warren
#

LMAO

#

Love Fitz

limber dragon
#

you'll need a 3000 series TR for the motherboard

elfin warren
#

He knows more than I do about this stuff

distant egret
#

3970x works doesn't it?

limber dragon
#

yup

#

just that the 2000 series TR wont work with it

distant egret
#

whew. that's where we started lol.

limber dragon
#

and if you dont have ram for it yet, you'll want at least 4 sticks of 3600mhz

distant egret
#

I like excess.

too much? two sets of 128GB

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 128GB (4 x 32GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C18Q-128GTZR
Capacity: 128GB (4 x 32GB)
Type: 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM
Speed: DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800)
CAS Latency: 18

limber dragon
#

Im looking into the designare, and not liking the dual intel lan MildPanic

#

yeah, the master has a 5gbe aquantia Checkmark

#

intel lan has a tendency to never want to load the drivers

distant egret
#

interesting.

#

I'm researching the Aquatina.

limber dragon
#

aquantia is the better high end ethernet ports

#

killer lan is good for mid/low end

#

and do you need 256GB of ram? Could get a bit more performance going with crucial

elfin warren
#

"It's going to be for an artist.
Rendering things from Maya, Blender, and video like Premiere and After Effects."

distant egret
#

so you'd suggest the AORUS MASTER MB vs the designare.

elfin warren
#

That's what they're doing with it Fitz

limber dragon
#

Im suggesting the master over the designare, yes

distant egret
#

ok, sold. Thank you.

#

bad news, the MB is on back order. I'll see if I can find another one.

limber dragon
#

amazon has it for $500

distant egret
#

thank you. just found the same thing.

#

@limber dragon @elfin warren Thanks for the help!!

elfin warren
#

YW

burnt spear
#

Does 2x4gb 3600mhz not exist?

#

Can't find a kit of it on newegg or Amazon anywhere

why would you want 4x4gb tho

I have 2x8gb3600 and am selling my 3000mhz kit for the higher speed and figured I'd use the money from that for 2x4 3600

#

But ig I can't lmao

vernal cosmos
#

why not just buy another 2x8 3600 kit thats identical to the one you have

#

I'm 15 and can't get a job yet where I live

#

So only have the money from the 2x8 3000 mhz kit to spend right now

vernal cosmos
#

then save up

burnt spear
#

Yeah I guess I'm going to

vernal cosmos
#

rather than buying a kit you cant put into your pc anyway

burnt spear
#

Yeah

#

Ig I'll also try my luck at finding a kit on reddit, I found the 3600mhz kit I have for 40$ on reddit so

And how do some pre builds have 12gb?

Can be finiky

burnt spear
#

Ah

vernal cosmos
#

if you put in an 8gb stick and a 4gb stick in the same system itll run in dual channel for 4+4 gb

#

if the total ram util goes above 8gb tho itll run in single chanel

@elfin warren so uhh I just turned my pc on for the first time since yesterday

#

It's doing the thing where it's taking forever to turn on

#

Pressing the reset button makes it turn on wtf

#

Well turn on properly

Well the power button turns it on, but the screens stay asleep until I press the reset button and then the startup screen comes up

or easily obtainable

celest anchor
#

Doesn't mean they don't exist

#

3600 4GB sticks certainly exist

#

Lowkey bout to put the other ram back in and clock it back down so it doesn't take forever to turn on every time

elfin warren
#

Did you check and/or update your BIOS?

burnt spear
#

Yeah that's what im gonna do and when the new cooler comes im going to overclock the cpu

#

Yeah I did

elfin warren
#

WDYM by takes forever to boot?

burnt spear
#

I press the power button to turn on and the screens stay off for about 30min before it boots

#

And I can't turn it off or anything unless I flip the psu switch

#

Reset button doesn't even work
