I've decided to replace my 10 year old PC Power and Cooling PSU. It's a bit loud and I'm tired of hiding all the extra cables.
To Infinity and Beyond!Now you guys have me getting paranoid about my 10 year old Enermax Infinity.

There are a lot of factors in OC, ambient temp, case air flow, silicon lottery. Tom's has several reporting 3.8 on air and some even 4.1
I posted earlier, 3.9GHz with the stock Wraith Spire cooler. I'm switching it over to liquid cooling this week, though, as the AM4 bracket for the Arctic Liquid Freezer 360 came in.
[H] did a review. It's only O/O v O/C. No stock figures

Corsair TX650W built by Seasonic

10 years later and it's still working.
So tax return came in. Time to order the rest of the parts I need to put this Ryzen system together
Just ordered the case. Need to decide on psu and hard drive and cooling solution. I have an extra corsair h100i v2, but not sure I want to use that or not. Even if I do, I have to order the AM4 bracket still.
Anyone with a R5 1600 here ?? Or any review links ?? I would like to see what OC we can get on the R5 1600 (non X) with default cooler.
IEC, I just built my daughter a 1600x rig last week and it's smooth and sweet. Used the Asus Prime B350 Plus mb with the 1600x. Had a Corsair H110i GT AIO cooler (really overkill but available) housed in a Fractal Define S Windowless case. Used the Gskill DDR4-3200 TridentZ ram CL16 (16g 2x8) so right now OC'd to 2400. Used a 240g Crucial ssd for the OS and coupled it with a new WD Blue 7200 1TB drive. For graphics saved some $$$ and used an EVGA GTX1050ti sc. Nice card. For the PSU I used an EVGA 550 Gold SuperNova that came at a combo price with the 1600x. Used Win10-64 Pro updated to Content Creation. SWEET machine.
i use windows to run off the SSDs as its still my primary OS
Jesus! because i can. its a legit method that ryzen is yet to support. its not supposed to be a headache. it has never been since i started using them in 2013. RAID is a very simple thing to implement. just as simple as dynamic disks in windows and what Justinbaileyman said about ubuntu.
o. and I gain SPEEDDDDDD! 1.1 Gb/s! without investing the 85 quid (which tops out at 85 mbps)! or 125 quid on a nvme. "poor use of system resource" only in your mind

Definitely agree! I am starting to get build requests left and right from friends and family so my stockpile of RAM and video cards will likely be depleted throughout the summer. Now if only I had stockpiled more SSDs before the prices went up...
RAID is a widely accepted feature for a variety of reasons. my needs (larger disk space) are covered under RAID0 and RAID10. I chose RAID0 as it has the advantage of speed as well. it does not cost anything extra.You are fooling yourself.
Your raid array does not do anything for you. And a NVMe will tear your two 90gb drives up.
I understand you are trying to keep your old drives alive, but YOU insistence on using raid when there is no need, is something you need to reinvest in. Because, you are in fact using raid0 to make a larger volume, instead of upgrading to one.
Odd question here, but does Intel Optane work with the Ryzen cpu's and motherboards? Or is this Intel only stuff?
