I would just stick what you have if its working good for you. I was a bit worried about the burning before I got a new semi fixed bios myself, but just think that you could theoretically keep the rig drop in a new cpu in 2 generations and still be able to use gen 5 ssds, gen 5 new GPU and...

This is not exactly what you asked for, but its a 7950x3D. ALU FPU MEM

Thanks, that seems to have fixed the issue. I thought I had the newest chipset because I checked in Armory Crate and it did not show a new version. That is what I get for trusting the mobo vendor.

If I don't enable those features I get no settings. If I use Ryzen Master to turn off the 2nd CCD the stuttering goes away. The games behave otherwise with both CCDs enabled.

I just changed mine from 10 to 12. Is there any downsides to doing this?

I just want to say I am really loving this monitor. Yes I know it can bloom around the mouse pointer while I am doing my day job with HDR turned off, but its really not a big deal. The gaming and media is great. I am currently playing CyberPunk 2077 for the first time and its just gorgeous...

Can anyone walk me through the basic settings to use for gaming besides turning on hdr in windows display settings please? Thanks Trying scenery mode for RDR2, looks good! Cinematic mode is looking good as well :)

I don’t know and at this point I’m too afraid to ask 😂

3k with tax :(

I never made it to Micro Center, but mine is arriving tomorrow. It will be my first time to game above 1080 (technically I run at 1200.) I hope it is great!

Just getting the new PC set up.

It is very strange. I feel like I am going to have to do my own review after I get my PC set up.

Got mine today

Do you think there is any chance of doing harm to my mobo or the SSD if I try this?

So I am getting the gen 5 ssd drive tomorrow. I am wondering if I can run it on my old computer until the new one is ready using the PCIe 5.0 M.2 card that came with my motherboard that I have not even opened yet. I have an unused slot on my ASRock Z87 Pro4 mobo. I can put this card into the...

Its like one of those old four barrel carburetors. It uses less gas unless you stomp on it. In small loads it will be very efficient, but if you need the power its there.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D official performance leaks out Well the review guide is leaked. Looks pretty good against the Core i9-13900K.

I placed a backorder for the GIGABYTE AORUS Gen5 10000.

Well I have 3 parts ordered with 2 arrived. This is what I am going with unless a month goes buy and the NZXT cooler never comes in stock: Case: HYTE Y40 - 95% confidence level Motherboard: ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO - 95% confidence level Power Supply: Seasonic VERTEX GX-1200 - on hand Memory...

Per reddit there are some shenanigans a foot for many SSDs. In this test series the SN850X is the only one to more or less pass. I look forward to seeing if this is debunked or further explored. I am leaning toward the SN850X based on that.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D spotted on Geekbench with similar single-core performance to 7950X More tricking out! Very similar score to none 3D for synthetic so that’s good. Sounds like it’s not taking a big hit from less wattage.

I think the benchmark is no longer considered useful with modern hardware, but it’s kind of a running joke to post scores before NDAs expire for new hardware.

Some review info is starting to trickle out. AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D spotted alongside RTX 4090 in first benchmark test

Well I see this is still on sale at Micro Center. Its a 3 hour drive for me and I have never been. I got a surprise day off due to much of KC being shut down so I am thinking of driving up there to get this. Hopefully that portion will not have the roads closed. Any tips for visiting a Micro...

Hold strong! I was in your boat except my 3770k mobo died a couple weeks ago and I had to get a used 4770k cpu/mobo to limp along!

I think I am going to go for it on this display. Hoping to get more than 7% off that I am seeing on Amazon. Do they come on sale regularly?

Just for you:

Finally got mine as well.

Well my concerns are essentially alleviated. The product page for their AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD specifies the heat sink is in fact optional so you can use the motherboard solution and it specifies form factor of M.2 2280.

I wish I had seen this earlier. I just realized I don't think any of the Asus boards have a slot of that size. I see the Gigabyte boards that have them only have it in one slot.

Agreed that is an option. What is mildly sketchy is I pulled up that manual and there is this: The slot it indicates to use is the slot with the issue. I wonder if the singnaling to that slot is the most electrically clean and thus the recommendation or if it has to do with how the bios...

Up until yesterday I was considering the Asus crossfire rog hero but a reviewer yesterday discovered the top m2 slot conflicts with the pcie lanes for usb 4. This is really the only mobo choice if you want two 8x pcie 5 slots and usb 4 without issues.

Thanks for the offer, but as the CPU I want got delayed to end of month I’m going to wait and see what is offered at that time.

Well at the time I decided it was time to upgrade the 4090s were very hard to obtain so the first chance I had to order the exact model I wanted I did. I swore to myself I would wait for reviews of all 4 phases of CPU releases before picking what I wanted (raptor lake/zen4/raptor lake 6 GHZ/3d...

I used my 4090 with my Corsair AX850 for about 5 hours of gaming and 2 of office work before the 4090 fried itself and my motherboard during a firmware update of the 4090 RGB controller. The power supply did survive however and I am still using it. I was using an overclocked I7-3770K. Using a...

It must be shipping now at least to the US. I just got charged.

They all seem to be sold as sizes in increments such as 240, 280, 360 ect... Cases that I am looking at also indicate compatibility top/front/bottom via these classifications. My confusion lies in if you look at any given 280, its not going to be 280 mm long. Its going to most likely be...

So sick of them announcing things and the pulling the “haha just kidding the truth is worse” game. First the Feb 14th date then the overclocking nonsense.

Zen 4 X3D is great – but has one Big Problem I’m not sure this provides any new information, but it does go through everything that is known at this time as a good refresher.
