With the introduction of Ryzen 2, traditional overclocking seems to be going away - in that most of the chips we're getting are already pretty optimized out of the gate. I believe the future of overclocking will be enthusiasts focusing mostly on cooling capabilities to allow our CPU's to hit...

Here's mine: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/CXr6Mp

First world problem I guess, but a problem nonetheless. I guess I will have to take a wait and see approach. I'm really anxious to start this build as I've been waiting since January!

Well the mobo will be off the shelf. I'm trying to save some money by not going x570. I'm just wondering if off the shelf x470 mobo's will support the new Ryzen's coming out in two days.

About to perform a new build, with all new parts. Will I have issues with buying one of the new Ryzen CPUs and just dropping it into a new x470 board?

I didn't use OC Scanner as that gave me too much boost (to 2200mhz) and it would crash my game or benchmark. So I manually overclocked by simply leaving everything at default and manually adding +150mhz to Core Clock and +650mhz to Memory Clock. That's all I did and took 5 seconds. But yah, I'm...

My top clock speed I've seen is like 2050mhz while running Vermintide 2 benchmark. It typically hovers around 1900-1950 when boosting.

Hey Guys - just was curious what other folks that own the 2070 are getting for overclocks. I want to know if I got a dud or I won the silicon lottery and I can't tell because I have nothing to compare my OC to. Gigabyte Windorce 2070 MSI Afterburner Manual Overclock Core +150mhz Memory +650mhz...

Perfect condition! PC3-10700(667mhz) Perfectly working RAM. I just upgraded to 16GB Corsair 4X4GB and have no space for these and our other two PC's take DDR2 (Asus P5B Deluxe and Q9450 - Daughter) and DDR4 (Ryzen 1600x - Son).

I just got me a Gigabyte Windforce 2070 for $469 shipped with this coupon. You need to order through the eBay app.

Where do you guys recommend going to buy used cards besides ebay?

Thanks guys, I use Windows 10 and I'm leaning towards what you guys are suggesting - RTX 2070

Hi Guys - my current rig in my sig. Looking to upgrade my graphics card to either a 1070ti or 2070. I actually run two monitors, the other (not in my sig is a Dell 1080P IPS display). I play games like Diablo, Heroes of the Storm, Slay the Spire, and all manner of ARPG. I would like to play...

Can anyone give me a quick summary of what happened here as I"m not quite clear on what's going on. Sounds like the Verge did a video on how to build a PC and it was done poorly?

I'm chinese, and have been to china many times. Most folks there don't speak english (especially the older ones) and not knowing who she was, I would probably ask the same thing if I was an interviewer. The alternative is to just start chatting and see if they give you a blank expression or not.
