Any issues achieving rated speed or using as Boot? Were they on a recommended list or did you buy without a list?
Well, I have one on every Ryzen system, 1700x,1800x,4 threadrippers, and soon on my 2700x
Well are there any issues with NVMe SSDs other then price and the fact that the majority of folks here wouldn't see any difference compared to SATA SSDs?Well, I have one on every Ryzen system, 1700x,1800x,4 threadrippers, and soon on my 2700x
They are all the boot drive. The only problem I had was linux dual-boot, I had to use a sata drive after having win 10 on the NVME. Rated speed ? I have not even checked, but it boots win 10 in 7 seconds. App launching is immediate. No, I did not check for a list, I didn't even know there was a list.Any issues achieving rated speed or using as Boot? Were they on a recommended list or did you buy without a list?
The speeds on high IO like DC is very noticable over a normal SSD. Make sure you put a heatsink on it if you have high IO, they will overheat and throttle down if you don't. Before my heatsinks, they got to 70c and started to almost not function. Now they stay nicely under 52c. Doing DC 24/7 is a very high IO situation.Well are there any issues with NVMe SSDs other then price and the fact that the majority of folks here wouldn't see any difference compared to SATA SSDs?
Well for something like that, for sure. But what about "normal applications"?The speeds on high IO like DC is very noticable over a normal SSD.

Good find. Where?Hot dang! Found a 1080 Ti near MSRP until I can get hands on MSRP Vega or its successor.
Good find. Where?
I know what you mean. I would replaced my GTX 970 already if it weren't for the high prices of GPUs now.Local Craigslist. I am leaning towards using until I can get Vega or the next version of Vega, then selling as I have a 4K Freesync I would really like to utilize.
I really wanted to get a RX 580 holdover until prices came down, but they are not worth the money. And a new anything else cost close to or as much as this.
I picked up a 2700x yesterday at the store. Should I use the stock cooler or is a 212 Evo better? What about for VRM cooling?
It depends if you have a good sample or a bad one. Mine is bad, it will only run full core load @3,8GHz with ~1.325V. This is with everything set to stock, the Spire will let the cpu run @80C while the fan spins @3000rpm and that makes a lot of noise. Better cpu's will run all core loads at less voltage, so the Spire can keep it's fan in check.Stock is a little rough on the bottom finish, but other than that no complaints. It will also give you down draft cooling of VRM vs. a tower. I don't think the 212 is better per se. Would have to compare the thermal secs on a datasheet.
What CPU do you have ?? The 2700x is 4 ghz all core stock !It depends if you have a good sample or a bad one. Mine is bad, it will only run full core load @3,8GHz with ~1.325V.

For testing I switched to the BeQuiet Pure Rock Slim, which is only a 120WTDP cooler and a budget one in general and it performs more or less the same as the Spire. It's fan only runs @2000 rpm making it much quieter. A 212 Evo is a much better cooler.
I tried the 212 on my 1700, and it ran really hot. I will let you know in a week how the stock one does vs the 612-2 that is ready to be used after that.I picked up a 2700x yesterday at the store. Should I use the stock cooler or is a 212 Evo better? What about for VRM cooling?
I have a 2700X.What CPU do you have ?? The 2700x is 4 ghz all core stock !
OK, what motherboard do you have ? and are you using the stock cooler ?I have a 2700X.
Cinebench will run ~3900MHz
OCCT will run ~3800MHz
IBT even brings it down to 3,7GHz baseclock.
It needs at least 1,375V to run 4GHz, less will crash have not stablity tested so could end up worse.
4,2GHz needs 1,4475, lower will crash not tried stability.

Running a Gigabyte X470 Gaming 7 Wifi and 16GB FlareX 3200MHz C14.OK, what motherboard do you have ? and are you using the stock cooler ?
If it won't run at stock speeds, something is wrong.
