AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

I'm selfishly hoping you keep that 3900x and run it on that X370 Taichi, since that's the board I have as well and I'd be interested in your experience. Too bad ASrock is taking their sweet time with the bios updates. BTW, go Colts! I'm from Fishers originally and a huge Colts fan as well I'll...

AMD RYZEN Builders Thread

Hey guys, looking to put together a new ryzen system. I'm upgrading from a 2500k. I had a few questions trying to decide between parts. I have already ordered an asrock taichi mobo. 1) RAM - I'm trying to decide if I should pick up some Gskill 3200 CL14 (possibly the Flare X) as I know it will...

In my next life I'm coming back as an Anesthesiologist

It looks great from the outside, but I'm almost 28, >200k in debt, and regularly working 70+ hours per week. Granted, this is the first year of my residency, but the grass is always greener. You have to essentially give up your 20's for this job. I don't personally regret the decision (at least...

Woman Hides Recorder in Her Hair During Surgery, Catches Doctor Body-Shaming Her

I was expecting something offensive, that's ridiculously tame compared to some of the stuff I've heard lol. Just the fact that she had the recorder in her hair tells me everything I need to know. Generally speaking, nice patients don't get made fun of much. I guarantee this lady was a total...

AMD issue / Flickering using multi 1440p monitors and drivers 15.7 and up

I only just installed these yesterday, but so far it seems have have fixed the issue! Well done to AMD for sorting it out quickly. Well, quickly for me anyway (I haven't been having this issue that long)

AMD issue / Flickering using multi 1440p monitors and drivers 15.7 and up

Actually I'm running both my monitors on DVI and having similar issues. Although I admittedly didn't read the whole thread, so maybe you're having other issues, but it sounds very similar. Anyway I'll probably give those drivers a shot, thanks for that. Nice setup btw. Does running the 4k screen...

AMD issue / Flickering using multi 1440p monitors and drivers 15.7 and up

As far as I can tell I'm having pretty much the EXACT same issue you are OP. I have one 1440p qnix and one 1200p dell, each running DVI out of my 290x. I game only on the 1440p screen, the 1200p is just as a side monitor and is usually turned off when I'm playing a game. I get the same...

What do you do for a living?

I'm a resident physician, about halfway through my intern year. I'm going into anesthesiology, but I have to do a preliminary year in general medicine first, so that's what I'm doing now. It's pretty rough to be honest, but I'll get through it. I'm excited to finally be doing anesthesia since...

Avoid Swiftech: False Advertising/Failure Killed my Chip/Neglect Ensues

Sorry to hear about your experience man. FWIW my swiftech h240-x has exceeded my expectations, it's fantastic. I have only owned it for a couple months though, hopefully it holds up over time

[VR-Zone]Skylake-K coming out only 1.5 months after Broadwell-K

Personally I applaud Intel for at least trying to keep to their release schedule. They could have easily pulled an nvidia and milked broadwell for a year. It's nice that even though broadwell is late, they aren't letting it affect skylake's release much. And I'm glad because I'm dying to upgrade...

Can't decide between sapphire 7970 OC and msi lightning 7970

Hi everyone, OP here. Just thought I'd bump this with an update. Ended up going with the Sapphire, and am glad I did. This thing overclocks like crazy! Using the 2nd bios the default voltage is 1170 mV. So far I've bumped clocks up to 1200/1700 totally stable with no voltage changes! And I...

Very reassuring, thank you. I just ordered a kill-a-watt so I can check the actual power draw since I had 30$ in amazon giftcards burning a hole in my pocket anyway lol.

Will a 650W PSU be enough to run crossfire 6950's?

Great! I'm glad to hear it should work. If not I can always upgrade their PSU later. One more question since I already have the thread open, how will I know if the 650W isn't enough? Will the computer crash, artifact, or what?

Will a 650W PSU be enough to run crossfire 6950's?

I just recently built my parents a new computer. It has a 2500k, hdd, ssd, 16 gb of memory, and currently 1 6950 (1 gb model). I used to have crossfire 6950's, but put one of them in their new build. I just pulled the trigger on a 7970 a few minutes ago, so I was thinking of giving them my other...

Interesting, insult me when I specifically tried to not turn this into a fanboy debate. Not sure what your point is either, would you rather discuss this on [H] where I've been a member for 8 years? To those who have posted something useful, thanks for the input. Still haven't made a decision...

Can't decide between sapphire 7970 OC and msi lightning 7970

I'm wondering why everyone says the lightning is better? It certainly seems higher quality, but is it any better OC or heat/noise wise? As far as I can tell the sapphire dual-x is about the same in those regards, maybe even a little better with OC'ing? If only the lightning was in stock edit -...

Can't decide between sapphire 7970 OC and msi lightning 7970

I just didn't want to turn this into another 7970 vs 680 thread. But it seems to me that the two perform essentially equally once overclocked. And the 7970 comes with more memory and IMO seems higher quality. But like I said I'd rather not argue over those points, I'm not loyal to either brand...

Can't decide between sapphire 7970 OC and msi lightning 7970

The sapphire is cheaper and in stock, and seems to perform well. My only concern is I've heard multiple complaints about the cards malfunctioning, either random black screens or capacitor noise, etc. But in the reviews it seems to OC well and stay cool, and is actually among the cheapest 7970's...
