AwesomeOcelot Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 If someone's getting a Aorus Master, 5950X, and ProSiphon Elite I hope they're doing some hardcore overclocking. That's some exotic expensive hardware, I'd pay see it running, like an animal in a zoo. 750w should be enough for a regular system with a 3080. I'm always concerned about efficiency and aging though, so I always go at least 200w above what I need. I actually only went with 1000w because of the supply shortage of PSU. There was a few 850w/766w PSU I wanted to get instead. What is going on with that? I would have thought it would have been more than sorted by now.

ComradeYellow Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Superclocking a 5800X shouldn't guzzle too much power, considering it has significantly less cores than the other two and the whole 7nm thing is a great insurance policy. Intel 10xxx would be a different story... I'm honestly getting stoked for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Cut and pasted from old thread... only real change is the Gfx card, because I'm a cheapskate.

And if I feel like getting it more quiet, the accompanying Asus software allows me to use "silent" mode where it sacrifices speed for low temperatures (and less fan activity) “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

The 32 thread 5950X might, uh, be slightly better compared to either, . I am not looking to upgrade to something *quite* that ridiculous, probably more like a 5800X. ...Although the 5900X at MSRP is only $100 more for 50% more cores/threads, which is a ridiculous value, so it might just come down to actual prices at the time of purchasing. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

ShadySands Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I'm waffling on upgrading since I have a 3900X and 5700XT I mean, I really want to, but since I'm still gaming at 1080p I don't see the point unless I also get some new monitors and that's even more money that I'm not sure I want to spend right now 1 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally if that's what I had, I probably wouldn't even bother for a while. I used to be a staunchly mid-ranged gamer but I got sucked back into hardware extremism (even after swearing I wouldn't ever do it again). My bank account is not pleased.

ComradeYellow Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 RAM: 32 Gigabytes of DDR4 Trident Z Royal Series in 4 sticks of 8 gigabytes that comes with a 3200Mhz data rate with a cache latency of 14-14-14-34 (CL14 fourteen). I am hoping I can get it to 13-13-13-31, and would not mind turning down the data rate to 3100Mhz to achieve it. We will see once it arrives what I can do with it.

Whelp, I didn't have much luck with the timings but I still managed to get it to 3333Ghz so I think we're good for while. Internet experts say that you want both speed and timings to be high and shouldn't sacrifice one for the other. I disagree, it is of my opinion that you should aim for better data rate with AMD and better timings with Intel because Intel chips are designed with real complex cache setups whilst AMD has that whole Infinity Fabric thingamabob that seems to benefit from higher base speeds. I don't like the glowing RGB, perhaps I can find some drivers where I can just set it to blue and green, but it doesn't really matter because my huge air fan covers the memory anyway. Speaking of air fans, I managed to beat the Ryzen Threadripper 1950x 16 Cores in multicore Cinebench with my i9 10900k overclocked and temps never went above 80c which impressive because the 10900k only sports 10 cores. Single Cores can't quite beat the best of Zen 3, but it's close, and not massively significant. Just not long ago I thought the only way to fly was with water cooling. Doesn't appear to be the case. I'm starting to think that CPU's matter a great deal for gaming nowadays, because newer CPU's are showing benchmark results that greatly reduced 1.0% and 0.1% lows, which results in much more consistent 'fluid' gameplay that you would otherwise get. EDIT: managed to find the RGB drivers just fine and got all four RAM sticks to cyan. Looks great! Cyan is my favorite color, however my fan still blatantly blocks it.

Pidesco Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thanks to Azdeus' kindness, and the gargantuousness of his gift, I now have what I would call a fully modern PC again. The only coming change is to buy a new graphics card, as Azdeus will want his Vega 64 back, and I'd like to have something RTX as soon as prices are reasonable again. ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 G.Skill Ripjaws V - DDR4 - 16 GBSapphire Radeon RX Vega 64 Nitro+ Crucial MX100 512GB Seagate Barracuda ST4000DM004 - 4 TB Dell U3415W 2 Dualshock 4 gamepadsAntec P101 Silent Seasonic CORE GC 650 I also bought a new case and PSU. I was forced to buy a new case to accomodate the Vega, but I was actually wanting to buy a new case to for years, as my Cooler Master Storm Scout was getting really old(ten years, to be exact. The PSU was also as old, and the one flaw it had was shortish cables, so a new PSU as well. The PSU was an OCZ 600W StealthXStream II and it served me very well. A great buy. These will eventually go into my son's build. He's hogging my PC all evening to play CS GO and Fortnite. I guess I might as well put up my daughter's new build too, as it was the death of her old PC that triggered all this money spending: G.Skill AEGIS DDR4-3200 C16 SC - 16GB Cooler Master MWE Bronze V2 650 ASRock B365 Pro4 Intel Core i5-9400F ASUS Geforce GTX 980 Ti Seagate 1Tb 7200 RPM S-ATA2 32Mb Kingston SSDNow A400 120GB Samsung 23/24" screen Corsair Carbide Series 100R 1 "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.
