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.

Koolance LIQ-702CL-05L Clear Coolant 5 Liters for $74.95 direct from koolance.com. This is regularly $108.99. https://koolance.com/liq-702-liquid-coolant-high-performance-5000ml-clear This is the only coolant I've used and I've been very pleased with it in a couple of different setups. My...

I think the only other thing worth trying is using a slight negative offset on each ccd. Like -15 on ccd0 and -10 on ccd1. Your mileage may vary. A couple years ago, I got into running that app which calculated per core offsets. I don't think it was worth it in the end. I now have a couple...

Enable XMP for memory and PBO at board settings and leave it alone.

Mini non-scientific review: I got the new power supply installed yesterday. I actually needed all but two cables, the 12VHPWR and one of the PCI-E VGA cables. My 3090 takes 3 PCI-Express cables, so I used the cables that only have one connector on the end. There is a 4th cable that has a...

Does it have "military mode" like the one in Red Planet?

I think making this thread helped me make up my mind and your post is right on. I have the FSP on the way. I did look at the Shift line pretty carefully. My computer is currently in a Praxis WetbenchSX and there is a middle support that only gives you about an inch of space on the side of the...

I'm building my daughter a parts PC and I decided to move my 850 watt Seasonic Prime GX over to her machine and get a new one for myself. See my sig for my machine (5950X with PBO and a 3090 with two DDC pumps and tons of fans). It is capable of pulling in the upper 700 watt range, so I figure...

I just installed this on a test bench and it worked pretty easily. The only issue I see is with getting both screws on the coldplate to bracket mount started. You have to get a couple of turns on one before pressing down hard on the other side to get the other started. Other than that, piece...

I'm building a computer for my daughter in my old Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic and it's getting either a 3900X or my semi- broken 5950X that requires very specific PBO settings to run at stock performance. I had a 45mm thick Corsair(Hardware Labs) radiator in the top of that, so I should have no...

Remember all the flooding in Malaysia about 10 or 15 years ago that was supposed to completely halt hard drive production? I actually bought some extras to have just in case and ended up later selling them for cost because I didn't actually need them and wanted the money for something else...

I thought about upgrading to the Vertex 3.0 unit, but never did it. I'm running a 5950x with PBO and an Asus Strix 3090 with a Seasonic Prime Gold 850 watt. I'm also pushing two DDC water pumps and 18 fans on a giant external radiator. Crossing my fingers.

Gamers Nexus just tested the Arctic Freezer III and says it's the best sound normalized cooler. https://youtu.be/zfffNRTOZCc?feature=shared I think the new design will also be easier to fit to pretty much any motherboard. It has the same performance as the EK Elite 360, but 13 dB quieter with...

Man, I have an Asus Strix 3090 that I bought here in November 2022 that came with an EK waterblock installed for I think $750. Like you though, I haven't had the time to really put it to good use. It also has a lot of coil whine. I'd love a 4090 just to have it, but I just can't justify the...

Unfortunately, Dragon Age is one of the few games where I have completed all games in the series and I've played DA Origins through several times. I'll definitely play at least the next Dragon Age game and see where to go from there.

5950x at newegg For the record, you can get a 5950x NIB from newegg for $379.00. Same price at amazon as well. That's less than most of the used stuff out there.

I think my loop would be up to the task. It would still run hot with the right workload, but I think I could do it.

My 5950x is screwed and only runs right with PBO tweaked. I have a couple of cores that need + voltage when your run some of those core analysis apps. If I just let it run at stock, it runs at a lower all core clock speed than my 3900x does. However, with PBO, it runs at similar speeds and...

Yeah, it definitely whines. It doesn't help that it's in an open air test bench set up at ear level 2 or 3 feet to my left.

Are the people getting lower priced prime because they are on government assistance going to get commercials as well unless they pony up more money?

I "upgraded" from a 3080 10GB to a 3090 in November 2022. I got the 3090 Asus Strix variant with EK Vector Waterblock from a member here for $775. I really haven't used the horsepower and there's not a huge jump for the games I play. I just thought it was too good of a deal to pass up as I...

Not like amazon is next day or two days on almost anything anymore. At the beginning of December, almost everything I was buying was showing me a delivery date of 7 to 8 days out, with "Prime" shipping.

I wanted to try out FUBO, but our main TV is run through a PS5 and FUBO doesn't work with it last I checked. When I was blindsided by the YouTube "Red" 50% increase this past year, I really though about canceling. Then I watched youtube on someone else's computer and it was completely...

Wow, I haven't had regular cable in so long, I've lost touch with pricing. I get ripped off by youtube tv just so I can watch college sports. Went from 45 to almost 75 in like 3 years. Youtube red went up tremendously as well.

Been talking about this for quite a while. To get everything you want is a mess of different streaming services that would cost more than cable.

Nice, the last iteration of my rig, I had all my stuff in an o11D, (non-evo), with a 360 on the top, a 240 in the back, and a thin 240 mounted in a custom front panel from Performance PCs. It was a real pain to set up. Yours looks much nicer.

If you look closely at the pictures, you can see the word Fractal on the black plate on the right.

Nvidia will never make another "mistake" like they did with the 1080Ti.
