Did you own a 486 SX/2 50mhz? That was my first cpu with cirrus logic 5430 512kb video memory.
Did you own a 486 SX/2 50mhz? That was my first cpu with cirrus logic 5430 512kb video memory.I am not invested in anything financially. I just like to play with anything new, and that sounds promising. I am not spending a dine until the official reviews come out, but my gut tells me, we have a winner, and a new toy for daddy to play with.
Edit: I got to be the CPU moderator for exactly that reason. I OWNED almost every CPU out there, and could reply intelligently about what its like to own them. I was elected as a moderator by the forum users years ago.
You bet (actually I think mine was a dx2-66).... And I owned almost every AMD CPU out until the CORE series from Intel, then I slowed down on the AMD ones. But I still have an XP1700, and 770 motherboard, an opteron, an Athlon X2 3800, an Athlon 3000 and 4 C34 socket server chips. Not to mention what in my sig, and on my FS/FT thread.Did you own a 486 SX/2 50mhz? That was my first cpu with cirrus logic 5430 512kb video memory.
Oh boy did you go through the dreaded via 4in1 chipset and win98?You bet (actually I think mine was a dx2-66)....

I don't think that's true. Take a look at the price trend for Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000:

In June 2016, it was ~$70.
Five days ago, it was $125.
Now it's $110.
yup. Via was not that bad. 98 was not horrible (not like 8,1)Oh boy did you go through the dreaded via 4in1 chipset and win98?
Idk why ppl make such a big deal about ram peices. Sure the %cost went up a lot, but it was dirt cheap. You might have to spend another $40 for 16gb, but that shouldn't stop someone from b?uilding a new pc.Don't expect DRAM prices to drop this year , unless Trump crashes the global economy with his insane border tax, DRAM prices will keep rising.
if you need cheap, you can always try used parts.
OK here is my final build. Some parts may change, but most are settled on.

I have a feeling that the Ryzen 7 1700 is going to be a dud and even a fancy water cooler isn't going to be able to fix that.
Why else would it be clocked so low?
I think I read somewhere that it clocked to 4ghz though. That's pretty good for the price, right? A 4ghz 6900K for $330? Damn, that's crazy if you ask me.
Except that we are talking about an overclocked processor versus one that isn't.
R7 1700 is already being offered with 3.8Ghz overclocks, it's not going to be a dud. What will happen in comparison to the higher bins is it will likely draw more power at higher clocks. That may change as yields improve.I have a feeling that the Ryzen 7 1700 is going to be a dud and even a fancy water cooler isn't going to be able to fix that.

The two most important bottlenecks for Zen oc will be power delivery and cooling, both equally important. Zen SKU will be last in the trifecta.
How does that affect anything I wrote in my previous post?You have to remember that the Ryzen 7 1700X/1800X is going to able to be overclocked even higher.
One can argue that the 1700 is the best, as it offers best value and efficiency at stock.

Indeed. Even at its lowest specified clock (3.0 GHz) it is nothing short of amazing that eight performance cores are running at or below 65W TDP. A SKU like 1700 will likely command a premium in the server market.One can argue that the 1700 is the best, as it offers best value and efficiency at stock.
Theoretically, X370 or B350 shouldn't make much of a different, but in reality, motherboard makers see B350 motherboards as the budget options and put much better components (i.e. VRM) on their X370 motherboards.
If chipset is the only difference, I would absolutely go with a B350 motherboard.
Another important factor is that the processor is expensive to upgrade while memory is cheap(er).
Ryzen 7 1700 is going to be a dud. (the bottom of the barrel)
Think about it, if it wasn't, it would be a Ryzen 7 1800X or a Ryzen 7 1700X.

I should really try to sell off the copious amount of DDR3 I have lying around...
Ordered more DDR4 last night, reluctantly.
