For $420 shipped, I bought a 5950x, MSI Meg B550, and 64 GB 3600 RAM about a month and a half ago. For some people, this 5700x3d is a good deal. In a year or two, you may be able to buy a used 7800x3d, B650 board, and 64 GB of RAM for $500.

Intellivision was our first console and my parents played it as much as I did. The best Intellivision games I remember in no particular order: Bomb Squad, Space Armada, Burgertime, Astrosmash, and Masters of the Universe (He-Man). I remember my sister walking up and resetting the console when...

I'm showing 304.12 for 5800x3d right now.

Now arriving even earlier, tomorrow, the 22nd.

I bought on Friday and delivery was estimated for Monday the 27th. However, yesterday, the delivery date changed to the 25th.

Trigger pulled. Look for a 3900X in the FS forum soon I guess.

My daughter's PC that I'm building her from old parts has a 3900X in it. She will really have no use for any high horsepower CPU. It would be nice to get that upgraded to Zen 3 I guess. I wonder what I could sell the 3900X for...

Well isn't she a feather in Ubisoft's cap. If the main stockholders weren't in on it as well, she wouldn't have a job.

I remember someone on here in the last couple of years saying he would buy the "Belle Dauphine Pink Dildo Edition" of a card if it was the best performing model.

So, it's a tale of 3 motherboards. I've played around with the "bum" 5950x from my main system. I moved it into the Asus Tuf X570 from the Asus Crosshair VIII Hero X570 and it seems to run like a normal 5950x. In fact, it may have been doing this all along and my old thread on this Did I...

I think that you can't really go wrong with hardware labs. They are near the top of the performance lists on almost all reviews and they have a good warranty. Corsair radiators are hardware labs. The GTX Series are great for lower speed, quieter fans, but they also scale well when you turn up...

Thanks, I went for it this afternoon and swapped it in. I updated the BIOS (it was on some version from 2021). At stock settings, CB20 scored just below 9800 multicore. I turned on PBO, set it to motherboard limits and set all cores to -10 in the core optimizer. Not too shabby for just a...

I'm currently running a 5950X in my Asus Crosshair Hero VIII X570 board with 64 GB 3600. I got a great deal here on a combo with a 5950X and 64 GB 3600 on an MSI Meg B550 Unify. My original 5950X has a couple of bad cores for whatever reason and will not boost all core above 4.0 GHz (less I...

I just back ordered some more QD3s. The ones with G1/4 fittings aren't due until May 13th.

I hope not. They make great QD connectors, too. I need to order two more to make my cooling set up completely modular.
