Just ordered the FE too. I am on 1440p so think it should be ok for a while.

What does AM5 support actually mean? Does it mean that future new generations beyond Zen5 will be supported or does it mean they will continue to release CPUs that fit a AM5 socket ( because AMD are still supporting AM4 right now by releasing new CPUs that fit the socket)?

The two 140mm will pull more air and be quieter than most 3 x 120mm fans. i have 360 AIO in my North so have to front mount it and have move the two 140mm to the top and have turned them right down. It doesn’t make much difference where you site your AIO as long as the CPU is lower than the...

I to am upgrading from a 5820k and have my list saved ready for Black Friday. I went for AM5 ( as this is the only option for a CPU upgrade in the future). I am going with Ryzen 7700x. The thinking is that it is a significant upgrade over what I have been using, relatively cheap, and will allow...

I suspect the 8000series 3d Vcache processors will be out in early 2025, and ZEN6 a year later and may be on AM6.

Thanks guys. Backup are not a problem. He saves everything to OneDrive as well as an external hard drive. So performance wise no difference? Is a boot drive more likely to fail than a storage drive? If not, the risk of loosing your data is the same regardless of if you have one drive or...

Going to be starting a new build for my dad based on a Ryzen 7 3700x and MSI B450 PRO VHD Max. Is their any difference specifying a single 1TB Samsung 970 Evo M2 NVMe compared to a 970 Evo 250Gb NVMe Boot drive and separate 860 Evo 1Tb 2.5" SSD for storage? Probably will not use more than...

I went through all this, then decided it just made more financial sense to keep the Plex server on my main PC, rather than build dedicated rig (might as well use all those core for something...). Unless you are transcoding the computer is not going to be working much anyway. In fact I have...

Would the larger IHS and larger TR coolers on a 8c TR mean lower temps higher overclocks than a 1700/1800x?

And here too. https://www.pcgamesn.com/intel/intel-core-i9-7920x-vs-i9-7900x 2.9Ghz base for the i7920x

Of the 13 X299 motherboard on OC, 8 are gaming motherboards and a couple of others are blinged up with LED, despite not having 'gaming' in there name.

That's shocking. Has this been reproduced elsewhere?

Would having a second version in a lower resolution for playback mobile devices be an option?

Are you saying in your testing that a 10c Skylake X give better performance/ usage than a 16c Threadripper or do mean it just clocks higher?

Looks like Ghz of new silicon CPUs have hit a brick wall. Have had quad core for about 10 yrs and just made the move 6 core last year. It seems Moores law is going to continue by increasing core count from now on the way these double digit core CPU are being announced. Yes some games are still...

Got the new Sky Hub as a router only and UAP (AC LR) in the ceiling above the stairwell. Huge difference in coverage. If you already have a switch in the loft, then this will be straight forward. In less you have a big house, just leaving the AP in the loft will probably work just fine too.

A little off topic now but just to update, I bought an NAS which hosts all the media files and everything else's, I loaded The Plex server software on all 4 of the PCs in house all pointing at the files stored on the NAS - working on the assumption that at least one will powered on if I forget...

Thanks, I have decided to go for a basic NAS and move my files and pictures and movies on to it. Then decided between something like a Nvidia shield TV to or HTPC to host the Plex server.

Hope this is the right section. I have never had any sort network before. I primarily would like to be able use Plex to stream my BlueRay collection to the TVs in the house and tablets when at home and possibly away from home. And backing up pictures taken on phones. Additionally I would like...

Seems like this is Kraby X for the LGA 2066 platform. https://www.overclock3d.net/news/cpu_mainboard/intel_s_i5_7640k_and_7740k_are_rumoured_to_be_part_of_their_kaby_lake-x_lineup/1
