  1. Review Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 is da bomb for Intel CPUs!!!

    Thermalright always had good reputation but not as good as Noctua. The difference was always the fans where Noctua is unrivaled. However they do make quality coolers. I've used some of their early all copper coolers and I still use an SI-128 with a Noctua 120mm in my HTPC. Never had heat...

  2. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    Hey guys, what do you think of this? 7800X3D 90 watts under load?!

  3. Question 7 years since last Build - Time for a New One

    I don't know and don't care about design but you can't go wrong with dominators. For the past years I've been running my old dominators at all kinds of speeds and timings and always undervolted. I would go for 2 sticks though. Less strain on the memory controller and an open path for future...

  4. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    There is always the possibility of an extended outage. Once a transformer blew and I was out for half a day. There are always things you can't predict or cope with. The worst for me is constant fluctuations. When this occurs you have no way of knowing how it will play. If I can I shutdown...

  5. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    My PSU is semi modular. I have only one power cable that I don't need in there plus another two or three from the modular side. All and all it's not that different from a fully modular at least for me. I don't know about that open bench setup. I have thought of it but I don't think that this is...

  6. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    Still a good upgrade for older systems. I am not a gamer, it's been ages since I got a multi gpu setup and I'm not likely to do something like that again. However a good upgrade down the road will probably add to my power draw. I won't be having many choices in the future and will probably have...

  7. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    I do not like this particular connector. I still think that they could have done away using a combination of existing connectors and/or better board/GPU designs. 10 years sound very appealing but I never really understood this fully modular concept. IMHO semi modular PSUs may provide less...

  8. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    I’ve heard that intel’s next gen sports a new socket. I don’t know if it’s the end for LGA1700 but it is likely. It’s true that AMD tends to support their platforms longer than intel. I think they are releasing a couple new Ryzens for AM4. That’s cool and a definite plus. I know but am I...

  9. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    Anyways, my main problem remains and that is too many choices. When I started this thread I was very close to choosing intel. Now I am not that sure and that's because of you guys. Since I do lots of different things and I plan on keeping my next rig for as long as possible it is not easy to...

  10. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    I am not sure how much a PSU wears off over time but my current power draw is way less than when I had my 750W. That is because of all the changes I did over the years. Back then there were times that my 750 was getting rather warm for my liking. I expect my future rig to surpass my current...

  11. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    I understand but actually my system has changed a lot over the years. One positive was going for an unsupported cpu as it saved some watts. The same goes for the RX480, I had an HD5870 before that which needed more power. At some point the only available slot was one of the pcis which means I...

  12. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    All that I list cost around 2-2.3k which is somewhat more expensive than what you spent but not that much really. Corsair is a bit expensive but I've been using their RAM for many years now in both laptops and dekstops with good results. I’ve run into trouble with a Corsair pair only once and...

  13. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    There are certain things I can do like getting a boxed 7900 with wraith cooler, use my existing cooler (with a new mounting kit) or use some of my existing m.2s and replace or add more later, etc. There are options to reduce the initial cost if I have to. The PSU however is another thing. I am...

  14. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    I’ve been checking PCPartPicker. A first impression is that I’m looking at a price tag around 2-2.3k with most setups for combinations of i5/i7+Z790, Ryzen 7700/7900+X670E, Noctua NH-D15, Corsair 64GB RAM @6400, Crucial 1TB pcie5 m.2, 7800XT, Fractal Design midi tower, Silverstone Platinum...

  15. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    I occasionally do photo editing so having a discreet card is a must and there is always that BG3 gaming side-effect that I mentioned earlier. The iGPU may come in handy early on if I put the rig together before getting a discreet card or in the case that the graphics card fails. Other than that...

  16. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    Waiting a bit may be beneficial cost wise. So far the only thing that strikes me is that nobody talks intel. Like they don't exist !?!

  17. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    Damn right, circles AND some. Glad to hear that your build is rockin’. I’ve taken note of intel’s woes but AFAIK it does not affect the 14600/14700 non K/S/F variants. Most of the time I do other stuff. Gaming is just a side-effect. I don’t know if 2x16 will be enough as there are times that...

  18. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    If I end up the AMD way I'm not sure that waiting will make a big difference. AFAIK the 9000 series is not expected to surpass older gen cpus and If memory serves the X870Es will sport fewer pcie lanes. The USB 4 will be a bonus but that is something to be seen.

  19. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    Thanks for replying I was looking at the 7900X but the gains were small compared to the 7900 and the TDP difference is considerable. I’ve had extremelly good luck with ASUS boards over the years so ASUS is my first pick, ASROCK is my 2nd and far behind and currently there is no 3rd. Storage...

  20. Question Another old rig bites the dust…. sort of….

    *** CPU poll added I put together the rig in my sig sometime in 2010. It’s not my sole pc and it is still a solid machine but it is time to go. I do all sorts of things so I don’t see any reason to write down what I will be using my next rig for. Just use your imagination. What I always try...

  21. Question Logitech Unifying Receiver

    That is weird. There should not be any issues at all. Logitech's unifying receiver can be paired with up to 6 devices but to do this you have to use their software and pair the devices yourself. Non paired unifying capable devices should not work with a different receiver than that which they...

  22. One keyboard to rule them all....

    I learned programming on the model M. Great keyboard but that was a lifetime ago. Despite the nostalgia and the M’s quality you won’t find many willing to have it as their go to keyboard today. I know that I would not pick an M nowadays, not with all the options and functions new keyboards...

  23. Question Alternative to Samsung 860 EVO with 2 TB for storage

    It depends on the system. It can be used as a boot drive as long as it is recognized by the BIOS/UEFI as eligible. That said, it is good strategy to update your mobo's BIOS/UEFI to the latest ver from the start. I run into trouble when tried to use my 3rd PCIe x16 for the nvme adapter card. The...

  24. Question Single-wide GTX 1650, that runs on a non-UEFI host BIOS/system? (Nope, none at Newegg)

    AFAIK ASUS, Zotac and Gigabyte offer 2-slot low profile cards and Palit lists a number of single slot cards in their site but that's about it. All cards I’ve seen sport 4GB of GDDR5 and have no power connectors. As for legacy BIOS support, there is no info on this for any of these cards.

  25. GPUs with Legacy BIOS support? How do you know?

    Driver support/performance is an issue but at least this can improve over time with new releases, OTOH legacy BIOS support is either there or it’s not. I wish card makers would shed some light on this as this is somewhat misleading. Not all people out there understand every aspect of putting...

  26. GPUs with Legacy BIOS support? How do you know?

    Here is a must watch for Sapphire cards : Special Q+A: Ed from Sapphire on the Pulse RX570 RX580 Graphics Cards Notable points : @13:00-16:08 old pcs and newer card problems, @19:26-21:07 flashing old cards with BIOS from newer models.

  27. GPUs with Legacy BIOS support? How do you know?

    I agree, they are top notch but this is not the point. They too are dropping legacy support on their newer cards like most if not all manufacturers out there. This is the trend right now. Legacy support is dying. It is only gonna get harder and harder finding new mid/high-end cards for old pcs...

This way it would be easier for anyone that is looking for something to find it and for anyone that wants to contribute to...

  29. Firefox 57 Released

    Most of my add-ons are not working so I’m gonna take my time before moving away from FF56. At some point I will have to move, and that does not necessarily mean that I will be going with FF57. High customization is what made me use FF in the first place and for the time being FF57 falls short...

  30. Another old machine needs new card thread

    I have a good experience with ASUS boards. It is very rare for any of those that I have chosen to have a BIOS update to fix graphics issues. The one I am using now had only 4 BIOS updates and none of them had to do with graphics issues. However if it comes to that I am not expecting another BIOS...

  31. Another old machine needs new card thread

    Model of board and card? I doubt that this is an AMD limitation but the majority of such issues I know of, are related to their RX series. It is very interesting that Sapphire lists their 380/390/Fury cards as having dual BIOS supporting both legacy and UEFI but they list only UEFI for the RX...

  32. Another old machine needs new card thread

    Thanks for the feedback. I am familiar with the P7P55D line of boards. If memory serves mine is about 2 years older (no SATA6/USB3 ports hence the ASUS U3S6 controller)

  33. Another old machine needs new card thread

    The return policy is not favorable so I have to make sure before placing an order. On the good side my case and PSU will have no problem at all. Here are the specs for both the 11247-03 and 11247-04 SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 FURY 4G HBM cards Performance wise the Fury is on par with the...

  34. Another old machine needs new card thread

    Nice.... Sapphire used a switch for UEFI/BIOS support. It is present on their 380/390 series cards and from what I know it is present on the Furies. At least most of them.

  35. Another old machine needs new card thread

    Or I could simply shoot myself in the foot. That would probably be less painful.

  36. Another old machine needs new card thread

    That was what I thought too but after digging a bit I am not so sure. This looks more like a hit or miss thing and I can’t afford the later. I think that the Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro 4GB (11247-03-40G) supports legacy BIOS. If it does then it is a candidate.

  37. Another old machine needs new card thread

    I am already considering this and I may go forth and contact ASUS as some of their graphics boards are to my liking and they sure know my board. However I am open to suggestions beyond the 480/1060 cards.

  38. Another old machine needs new card thread

    It has been quite a while since the last time I was looking for a new graphics board so I am out of the loop. The card is for the rig in my sig. My budget is up to the RX 480/ GTX 1060 level. The problem is that my board has legacy BIOS and most if not all of the 480/1060 cards won’t like that...

  39. Laptop SSDs limited storage questions

    Regarding drawbacks, although SSDs have improved during the past couple of years and continue to do so, the NAND flash used in SSDs can only be used for a finite number of writes. This is why defraging an SSD is “forbidden”. Anyways, SSDs come with better warranties than HDs so I...

  40. New SSD for old i7 dekstop

    Thanks for chiming in guys, I’m already leaning towards SATA. --------------------- Yes that’s my case indeed. My board does not have SATAIII or USB 3.0 and ASUS kind of tried to fix that with the introduction of the U3S6 (Usb3-Sata6). Exactly my dilemma I’m not...
