    AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    hi everyone, I am running a Ryzen 3900X (motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus) inside a be quiet! Dark Base 700 case. Stock cooler and stock fans. From the beginning, I noticed some weird things. Performance is fine (at least according to UserBenchmark). But idle temps are 55° to 60°C (!!)...

    Question Looking for a mid-tower for Ryzen 9 build

    the Evolv X is not the prettiest case, I agree, but it seems to tick many boxes for me. I've been doing research for a new build for few weeks now, and the case is by far the most difficult to pick (followed by the motherboard) for the rest (RAM, CPU, PSU, GPU), it was way easier to decide...

    Question Looking for a mid-tower for Ryzen 9 build

    does it? :( I thought it was well-liked by many reviewers. the P600S is obviously better since you can easily remove the front cover to reveal the mesh. but this can be done on the Evolve (it's just ugly) it seems higher-end compared to the P600S and I am anyway adding extra fans to the case...

    Question Looking for a mid-tower for Ryzen 9 build

    I am looking at the Phanteks P600S, I like it but it appears like the Evolve X is actually even better (except for the front mesh)

    Question Looking for a mid-tower for Ryzen 9 build

    Thanks, I'll add it to my shortlist! would you mind elaborating on what made it difficult? Officially, it's supposed to support 3x140mm in open layout. and did you try to install the H115i in the front?

    Question Looking for a mid-tower for Ryzen 9 build

    Hi everyone, I am finally upgrading my current build (Xeon X5675 sitting in a Cooler Master ACTS 840). I am not too happy with the case: it's huge and noise isolation is very poor, although I am only using Noctua fans (or I am doing something wrong) I am finally upgrading to a Ryzen 3900X (or...

    Question time to upgrade my all-rounder home desktop

    I am now looking at the ASUS AMD AM4 ROG Strix X570-E Gaming which I can have for $300, it has USB-C for the front panel and is a bit higher end than my previous pick. And for the RAM, while I am considering a 2x16GB 3600 kit, I found a 2x32GB 3200 kit for a similar price. I'd sacrifice speed...

    Question time to upgrade my all-rounder home desktop

    I see, I'll get one then, thanks :) I just noticed my mobo pick doesn't have a USB-C header for the front USB-C port on the Dark Base 700, so I'll look for another one.

    Question time to upgrade my all-rounder home desktop

    I am sorry to hear, I hope technology and/or medical research will restore your hearing :) there doesn't seem to be a lot of overclocking headroom, what benefit does the EVGA 280mm AIO bring you? lower temps? I am debating if it makes sense for me to get one or stick to the Wraith Prism and...

    :) by the way, I see in your signature that you have 3 Ryzen 3900X builds... Anything else you'd recommend to change or add? In particular the case, the motherboard, or a third-party CPU Cooler like the Corsair H115i (or H100i) RGB Platinum I still have room in my budget and would gladly get...

    no worries, I am not in a hurry for the build anyway :) you are right, thanks for the advice. It doesn't hurt, I remember buying the expensive Enermax Revolution 85+ 10y ago and it continues to serve me really well without any issue ever. the Seasonic Seasonic PRIME Ultra 750W 80+ Platinum...

    Question time to upgrade my all-rounder home desktop

    thanks :) I am still tweaking it, and will probably end up swapping some parts for higher-end ones, but I feel like the current build is already good enough, and I am way below my budget (was planning to spend 2'000$ to 3'000$ if required). budget is not an issue, I'll get a 750W or 850W PSU...

    Question time to upgrade my all-rounder home desktop

    Hi everyone, I asked for help years ago for my current build and got solid advice, so now I am back. My ageing desktop is currently running a Xeon X58 6-core X5675 (6-core at 4GHz) with 16GB of RAM. Performance is surprisingly decent for its age but it's relatively loud, not energy efficient...

    Highly Rated "Classic" Game You Don't Like

    I also don't like Super Mario 64. I got SM64 and Banjo-Kazooie at the same time and had so much more fun on the latter. I also liked Conker and the other Rare games in general, or OOT and MM. Just not Mario 64. and I am a huge Nintendo fan that likes (to different degrees) every single other...

    3DS Game Suggestions?

    that's a pity, you missed out on an amazing game. I got bored just like you on that first island and gave up on the game within an hour. picked it up couple years later on a whim, grit my teeth through the tutorial, and never ever regretted it.

    you must have missed this part, let me quote it again for you in bold red: (and before you argue about my choice of parts, no, I will not invest in X99 with a cheap 150$ motherboard or only 16GB of RAM that I already have on X58) I was showing you what I would spend if I upgraded to X99. I...

    I7 920 (1st Gen) OC @ 3.6 Ghz looking for upgrade

    you might want to investigate that, many are running 48GB on X58. see http://wp.xin.at/archives/880 I almost tried it myself but decided to stay with 16GB for the time being.

    I7 920 (1st Gen) OC @ 3.6 Ghz looking for upgrade

    I only need USB 3 for emptying my DSLR's memory card (24MP files) and my X58 motherboard has that feature anyway. SATA 3 would be nice (my motherboard has it but with a crappy controller so I don't use it) but it's such a small difference with SATA 2, when compared to the huge leap going from an...

    he's talking about a Xeon X5650 or X5660. they're pretty cheap on ebay. I myself had the core i7-920, considered upgrading just like you did, and ended up getting a Xeon X5675 instead. Overclocked, you get about 11'000 points in CPU Mark...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    in theory yes, but it's mostly due to 4GB being the maximum size ram modules had at the time... also the Xeon's IMC can handle 288GB. but not sure how much of that depends on the motherboard. nobody gave me a straight answer so far, but I found this link: http://wp.xin.at/archives/880 so it...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    can you provide a link to an example? I'd be interested by 3 or 4 sticks of 8GB RAM on my board (or even 6 :P ) especially now that I plan on keeping it 2 or 3 more years.

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    I remember I found a post on a different forum when I was looking for an elusive fix yesterday... at some point, the drivers stopped supporting TRIM and were designed for HDD, so if you wanted TRIM, you had to settle for older drivers. the one I found seemed to support TRIM, and I never had...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    ugh, consider yourself lucky you still have 400MB/s, I have no idea how/why performance degraded so much for me. perhaps it's in my head, but it also feels like the SSD is sluggish, so I am going to move it to a SATA 2 port, and I am considering buying a SATA 3 card, but they're not cheap...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    Core i7-920, HD 6950 and X25-M upgrade dilemna

    I have a huge case for it, the ATCS 840 :D it's not the only alternative, there are other coolers, air but also AIO, like the Corsair H100i. I would check reviews and roundups if you're considering an upgrade.

    Core i7-920, HD 6950 and X25-M upgrade dilemna

    the gigantic Noctua NH-D14. I also replaced the stock fans by their newer 150mm and 120mm PWM versions (and placed the older ones elsewhere in the case) that's not even the limit, I haven't tested 4.5GHz or more yet, still figuring out this overclock thing.

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    do you know how it works when it's an unlocked multiplier? hypothetically speaking, suppose you have a magical CPU cooler that keeps the CPU lower than 50°C or 60°C no matter what, could you reach 6 or 7GHz by upping the multiplier, and keeping the rest at stock? (for example, 6GHz is...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    my X5675 is not as cheap as your X5650 but I might give it a try. Worst case, the multiplier unlocked W Xeons might be cheaper in a year or so if I ever get a problem. No PSU issues on my side with my overkill 1250W PSU :P I will try enabling C states and see if I am still stable. VDroop...
