    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    As I told you, I was about to throw a dice which any of the two (7700X and 7800X3D and pick the best deal). Finally I got the 7700X for $190 on a Pre Black Friday deal. I think it's much better deal than going under on 7700, 7600X or 7600. As expected, I was monitoring all the best deals from...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    These guys cannot understand what means gaming through College? I might be a little bit older than you, but I went through UT2003 which wouldn't either do it with a Chromebook-like PC I can't even remeber which card I have back then and I did not even tape for the spare HDD, all dropped in the...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    Looks very affordable the Phanteks Eclipse G300A Personally, I like to buy very long-lasting cases, P183 has been around for more than 10 years and 5 house moving under her belt without a scratch. Apart from good space, which appears to be appropriate, I appreciate how easy it is to clean also...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    Yeah, I noted the exact same appreciation, found many glass cases under the price of the solid ones. There is a whole submarket on looks that puts on the PC an extra layer of costs. I was about to go with the Fractal Design North just because of looks, but it appears that it falls into a ton of...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    I need to ask a question because I'm a little bit lost. Which extra fans would you recommend installing? By default, it comes with 6 and 7 for the regular ATX version so I've marked all the other optional fans that could fit (In fact I'm n ot sure if number 5 will fit because of the bottom one...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    I will consider this by the time it gets, thanks for the ideas.

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    After spending like a ton of hours on researching I'm already on the boat. If I had dedicated my time invoicing all the time I have dedicated I would probably have right now the money for a second setup from scratch :confused: So I'm moving on with whatever the dice decided. I think it has been...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    I don't hate windows, the thing is that since is not visible and geneally windows make case a little expensive (not always but generally) this is why this was not a requirement. All out of sudden I have discovered a gem, that is within my budget, and from the reviews I've seen it seems to be a...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    First thanks for the analysis Secondly there are some things that maybe I've expressed wrongly. I will not probably upgrade CPU until I see that it's clearly flawed or limited. For ideal will be the exact last CPU that will be released for AM5 in the future and no more Finally, the card is...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    It looks great but says compact, and I'm not sure how compact it is, I'm concerned that the PSU may not fit EDIT: Fractal Define 7 Compact 200 mm total (165 mm w/ HDD cage and front fan) 165mm for the PSU, and my PSU is 175, so not valid :( Same happens with Pop Air PSU max length: 170 mm...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    I've been with my Antec P183 for more than 10 years and I gotta say is more than I ever needed. It cost me $120 back in the day. It is a very spartan case, that had all the perfect & well-made cooling features and since I was going full air, I required something right to not hog the core...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    Thanks for the video, I always like to see more points of view on different aspects I have not gone yet into the "overall overclocking" part (RAM, GPU, CPU, whatever), so I'm completely unaware ATM of which are the current RAM stock frequencies, etc. I see that 99% of the people are choosing 6K...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    This is a good argument, but I don't understand the point. Remember that I will be picking an 3060 or a A770 probably, both way more powerful options than the processing power of any CPU right now (for heavy lifting tasks, like we have been commenting as like you say here: So I don't...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    I already knew of the presence of these benchmarks and much more that these guys are not even considering, like live previews performance. I have to agree to disagree here. They are not taking into consideration, that most of these "productivity" benchmarks are done solely, with the foundation...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    These are the exact conclusions I've gotten so far. The thing is, as KickAssCop has suggested, I'm significantly concerned that "productivity" apps do not take much advantage really from multicore because all the heavy lifting (which generally is encoding and generation), is nowadays done by...
