2016 or later. Not sure what you mean by type? Need for office work at home using Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Access.

Thanks!

Given the sheer volume of threads complaining about this specific issue with the x570 mobo and 3700x not recognizing ram, it was the CPU in my case. Just got back with a new 7 5700x and everything posts and boots fine out of the box. Activated xmp profile still ran perfect. Activated lazy...

Trust me I've tried every combo. And you can it will tell you it's not optimal. I'd preface this is not my first build.

I was really hoping someone could confirm my troubleshooting ... issue is the Ryzen 7 3700X CPU that I have. Problem: Upgrading my build to MSI X570S Edge Wifi + Ryzen 7 3700x + Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3600 2x16GB. Boot gets stuck at DRAM led and doesn't post. If I remove 1 stick, it...

I use Premiere Pro and After Effects with CUDA enabled (running GTX 1070) and so far 1080P video editing with my Ryzen 5 1500X has been smooth. But now that I am doing more 4K, I can't even properly edit because preview playback stutters too much. A used Ryzen 7 2700X is within my budget and I...

Yup will do thanks again everyone.

Cool thanks guys. Yea I'm not maxing out CPU usage consistently. I'll top it out for sure now and then for example when doing a particularly complex image trace from raster to vector path in Illustrator. Sometimes it just hangs totally. It's those instances I'd like to address. But for the...

Right, I guess I'm not understanding how going from a Ryzen 5 1500x to a Ryzen 7 2700x is going from gen1 to gen1 according to this but maybe I just misread. Just trying to get a sense if the jump is worth it at current prices for 2700x (Microcenter) given what I use it for that I described above.

Thanks Nobu. Ryzen 7 is still concerned gen 1?

Looking to upgrade my Ryzen 5 1500x OC'ed to 3.8 to the 7 series either the 1700, 1800x, or 2700x. Would I see enough of an improvement for my uses described below just going to 1700 or would I really need to go to 2700x? Or stick with the 1500x? I do a lot of gaming across genres from MMOs...

Yea I'm willing to buy an open box from Micro Center with 30 day return and mfr warranty rather than buy from a guy who I do not know guaranteeing a working card by his words only. Call me crazy, I know. I am lovin the 1070. I got it stable at 2.1 - I really prefer using Heaven as my stress...

Thanks a lot everyone for the great responses. These are really good considerations. I think I may just hold off on third-party sale for now and see if I can luck out at any of the retailers. Reason I was even considering Best Buys super inflated price is just time. I was really hoping to...

Hey guys. I'm desperate to upgrade a recently bought 1050. My 970 died and quite literally the only video card they had at Frys was a 1050. I thought I could tough it out for the time being but this card struggles too much compared to the 970. I play a lot of Ark can barely keep 30fps on...

Thank you for that - this is where I was headed as well. And so far it really is not peaking past 81C.

Thanks PM sent ...

Looking for a used Xbox One is great condition both cosmetically and operationally. I'm not that particular on the version as I am on the price. Just looking for the console, cables, controller, and power supply - not really interested in Kinnect. USPS Priority or other tracked and insured...

Actually this is the first time I used Furmark based on an older thread I posted asking if my GPU was on the fritz and someone asked me to bench the temps while burn testing. I don't recall off hand what temps were while I was gaming (lot of time on Ark which can be a GPU hog) but they def were...

I''ve got a EVGA GTX 970 SC with the reference blower and it gets up to 90C under Furmark. I've always ran it stock but since recently upgrading to a Ryzen 1500x at OC'ed to 3.9, I was thinking of OC'ing the 970 to see if I can eek out a little more performance. But I'm not comfortable doing...

Wow. That's just lame and I'm sorry for that annoyance. I do like W10 better than W7 but there's a lot to question about it.

Actually having the slideshow activated on the Lock screen specifically prevents the monitor from turning off (and by extension letting the computer go to sleep mode). I did just notice that there is an "Advanced Options" when slidescreen is selected that has an option for how long to wait...

Thanks for the idea ... I did try disconnecting the bluetooth adapter for the wireless mouse and keyboard. I also went through each device in the Device Manager to make sure that each was allowed to be shut off in the Power Management tab to the extent there was one. None of these worked. But...

*** SOLVED SEE 2 POSTS BELOW ** I've got a fully updated Win 10 install that just does not want to do what is in the power plan - specifically, monitor does not shut down and computer is not put to sleep in the designated time periods. Based on some searches, I made sure that my wireless...

Got my Office 2016 up and running with absolutely zero issues!!! Thank you sir!!

I need some feedback on my troubleshooting process for determining if my RAM has gone bad. It is an i7 920 system on a EVGA X58 SLI3 mobo using 6x 2GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz RAM (triple channel sold in 2 packs of 3 RAM each). OS is Win 10 Pro X64 v16299. The system is only recognizing...

Thank you everyone. I've got what I need now.

You are correct. I had mentioned in the OP that this was not the most financially ideal time to be making a system upgrade. But three things ... the i7 system was failing and also reading only a fraction of the memory. I'd also always felt that that i7 920 setup was a bit much computing for...

I recently upgraded my old i7 920 system and want to make a scrap computer for my mom with that i7 920. I just need a cheap GPU and cooler (fan or AIO). Pretty much just something to make the computer run and let her check her email and browse the internet. No gaming no movie watching no...

Quick check in ... am loving my new setup. I'm not really a benchmarker type but from the overclock I noticed about a 10 fps gain in gaming in Ark Survival Evolved on high settings with a GTX 970. I'm getting 60+ in calm scenes and managing to maintain a solid high 30s in hectic scenes. I...

I think I've got my 1500x good at 3.9. I just finished a successful Intel burn test at standard stress level 10 runs. Temps maxed out at 60C with CPU core voltage max at 1.352. Just noodling on the internet, I'm seeing 33C temps and CPU voltage at 1.308ish.

Thanks for the OC reference points. Yea my general sense from this and other forums is that 4.0 is the max people are getting on these. I've got an H60 cooling mine and its idling at 31 and maxes out at 50 so I'm hoping I can really push this thing.

Oh shoot I didn't think of that - I did splice all the yellows together. I'm guessing the other yellow wires don't even need to connect right since it's just sending info?

No worries man honest mistake. Although after some digging I'm not sure this 1500x will go past 4.0. I'm not really a benchmarker so I'll probably run it stock for a while see how games (Ark mostly) and apps (heavy data Excel and Premiere Pro rendering) work and maybe bump it up if I'm not...

Thanks a lot guys for your feedback. I really appreciate it very much!

Thanks guys. This is great information. I'm using these 120mm Noctua fans (http://noctua.at/en/nf-f12-pwm/specification) which pull 0.05A each. I'm going to split the 3 for now off of one header but will be looking at standalone fan controllers to be safe.

Thank you! This was exactly my concerns. These are 120 Noctua fans so I will check the amperage. If I go molex route though they will just spin at 100% correct?

Any issue splicing a single case fan connector into 4 connections? Specifically I'm just soldering the red, black, and yellow wires of a 3-pin remale fan connector to 4x 3-pin male fan connectors (so I believe this is in prallel - e.g., all red spliced together at some point of contact). I...

Yes 2.66 but in fairness I've since had to ratchet that 3.9 down to 3.4/5 since having memory issues. The i7 920 def was a beast - that 3.9 was with no additional voltage, H50 (the original) cooled, and IBT stable. Will miss it but won't miss these increasing crashes and memory issues. I'm...

LOL how is this is a downgrade again??

It must be closing in on a decade now with my stalwart i7 920 which ran at 3.9 for the better part of that time. I've recently started running into issues with my system recognizing a fraction of the 16gb 3-channel memory so with all the sales happening, figured now's a better time than any to...
