Wasn't there a lot of discussion when the 9950/9900 CPUs were released about using a fresh Windows build due to the scheduler not being set up during installation on other CPUs?
Yeah, even uninstalling and clean installing the chipset drivers may not help. IIRC the only way to guarantee it works correctly is a clean install with the target CPU present and installing the correct chipset drivers.Wasn't there a lot of discussion when the 9950/9900 CPUs were released about using a fresh Windows build due to the scheduler not being set up during installation on other CPUs?
I just did a upgrade (for customer) from Intel i7-4770K to 9800X3D 😁Has anyone here been able to go from AM4 to AM5 without having to reinstall Windows 10? I am wondering what the experience was like. I would prefer to stay on Windows 10 and not have to reinstall.
Just did a pass of (Detecting new hardware), rebooted and booted as normal. Obviously, if you have BitLocker, you have to re-enter long key to unlock your drive as well.did it require you to uninstall anything or windows just rebooted a couple times due to new hardware then was fine?

Why 9800X3D in this case?Now new machine is in use (photographer), maybe a bit faster than the old one
Frankly in this case I only relied on pugetbench review. It was faster than 9950X (in Lightroom) and I did not want 285K (possible) problems with hybrid approach. Customer main (>90%) use is Lightroom classic and old one at that (Lightroom 5.x). Easier with equally strong cores and extra cache never hurts in anything I believe 😁Why 9800X3D in this case?
Slap the mobo left and right. Maybe then it will realize that the CPU has been changed!I just popped in my 9800X3D, flashback updated to the latest bios with 1.2.0.2a and I noticed that curve shaper is absent.
If I squint hard enough, I could just make out that it's a 9800X3D. Got too excited when you were taking the picture?Count me in. Be 2 weeks before m.2 drive. Cat got sick and has to stay under observation for a couple days 😔
Sorry for crappy pic. It wouldn't insert other.

Of course extra cache does not hurt, but 9700X has comparable results for quite less money. 7700X is even cheaper than that and could have been an option, too.Easier with equally strong cores and extra cache never hurts in anything I believe
I look at it this way:Of course extra cache does not hurt, but 9700X has comparable results for quite less money. 7700X is even cheaper than that and could have been an option, too.
In games the difference between 9800X3D and 9700X is much greater and that justifies the price difference. Here, not so much.
Been doing this a few years, I learned importance of coolers, cooling and other stuff in the nineties (first PC assembled at work 1989 🤣)As long as you did not cut corners elsewhere just to fit the extra cost of 9800X3D (CPU cooler, storage etc.).
I would want my users to appreciate that I built the PC for them that serves them so well. I've heard only good things from the people who got Ryzen laptops (even Zen 2 ones) upon my recommendation. It makes you feel good inside and you know you made the world just a little bit better through a deliberate decision.Using 9800X3D instead of 9700X the *total cost* of PC is about 10% more expensive.
I saw a 2 TB NVME for like $113 (crucial) at neweggMy order from Amazon isn't slated to ship until just before Christmas. XD I guess it's a silver lining though as it gives me more time to find a decent deal on a motherboard and ram. Might get a new nvme drive too if I'm looking at needing to install Windows 11 on a fresh system.
I am going to grab a 4TB, Crucial has the highest "claimed" speeds, 14k. But some of the others like Team Group and Kingston, can be quite alot cheaper.I saw a 2 TB NVME for like $113 (crucial) at newegg
I don't think so.I am going to grab a 4TB, Crucial has the highest "claimed" speeds, 14k. But some of the others like Team Group and Kingston, can be quite alot cheaper.
Do PCIE4.0 drives need more than the mobo cover? With airflow of course.
Corsair has the 1 PCIEgen5 with a waterblock on it. Too bad it is Corsair.I don't think so.
