Thanks for the advice fathead. I said nothing wrong.

I am a retirered Electronics design engineer. I desinged radiatiation detectors. 34 years at SLAC Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. btw...:)

I said not without at least a bridge rectifier and assorted components. Which converts AC to DC. No modern electronic component that I know of runs on a dame sine-wave. LoL!!

Yes true.

Any electronic device whether it has internal or externally powered has to have a full wave rectifier and assorted components.

I am not much of a gamer. Photo and video editing.

I also have that missle. Setting the BIOS all to all automatic and enabling DOCP CPU-z reports the CPU briefly hits 5GHz. 5950x does everything well.

I would a few USR modems through the early years. 28.8k baud was the fastest. The modems came with a plug-in AC wall to DC converter. Nothing runs on AC.

LoL! Brings back memories. AMD made second tear CPU's at the time. Can't say the same about my 5950x. Overclocking the 386 was removing the 80MHz crystal oscillator (divide by 2 I assume) then progressively replacing the oscillator with a faster one until problems occur. Like won't boot... :)

About 4 months ago I purchased a 5950x for $599.00. Compared to discrete video cards the 5950x price has yet to drop significantly. A hell of a CPU which I use at least some of the 16 cores for video and photo editing. I'm not gamer. If I was buying a gaming specific CPU, 5900x is a wiser choice.

Mostly kids are fanboys. I was a Gibson guitar fanboy for years. Now I just laugh. I bought Asus motherboards until one failed. Gigabyte for awhile. Going to 2 AMD platforms this time with x570 w/5600x and 5950x. Did a little research. 2 new Asus MB. Performance before fanboyism.
