TTXE36 replied to the thread ULTRA RARE Intel Pentium III Coppermine SL4KL 1000/256/100/1.7V Slot 1 CPU RETRO.This. I've got two Tualatins on slockets for a couple of retro machines running on an Asus P2B and P3B-F (legendary BX boards). The Tualatins have more cache memory as well. I bought these a very long time ago. If you want to go really retro...

Is this for some sentimental build? You could build a fleet of socket 370 systems for the cost of that cpu alone... I have an abit bh6 in the garage that I use a slotket adapter for with a 1ghz coppermine, you can get 1ghz coppermine socket 370... -

TTXE36 replied to the thread Samsung Trio 65w Phone Charger $10.92 Shipped at eBay.I bought 4 and have inspected 2. Both units have the same serial number on the box, which is also the same serial number as kyang's unit. The units themselves do have unique serial numbers. If you look up the BEGWW number, it does not have a...

That seems like a melodramatic exaggeration. The 5800X3D was released the same year as the RTX 4090. Are we going to call the RTX 4090 "ancient" now? Also, all current consoles (PS5, XBox series X) are still on Zen 2, so... This also seems...

"leftover" or "stockpile" inventory wouldn't be correct for 8 core Zen 3 chips. AMD never stopped producing them. And every Zen 3 CCD is made with attachment points for the cache. Even though most of them never have the cache attached. AMD made...

People get hung up on benchmarks, not on their actual experience.

TTXE36 replied to the thread AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Review.Keep in mind, my opinion on that doesn't mean much. I had plenty of old school thermal compound around and it was a known thing. Plus the mount was temporary. I may go back to it. When running things like Prime95, the 5800X3D can temp spike...

TTXE36 replied to the thread AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Review.The way I read that is it was the cache bonding process that had to be updated. I think the underlying processor is the same and may be leftover inventory. It's hard to know for sure.

TTXE36 replied to the thread AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Review.Yes I've seen that, and I also bought one of the new 5800X3Ds. It appears they did a good job because I could not detect a lick of difference between them. Performance and temp is an exact match, DDR4 timings are exactly the same, and the...

TTXE36 replied to the thread AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Review.From the article: "If you already run a newer Zen 3 chip like a 5700X or 5800X and just lack the 3D V-Cache, the gaming gain is not monumental..." The author leaves out the very large YMMV that attaches to that statement. I have both the 5900X...

TTXE36 replied to the thread Scythe Mugen 6 Black $32.I'm kind of hesitant to post because I don't want it to look like I'm thread crapping, but I think there is a better alternative to the TRUE style coolers. I have a classic TRUE as well as a Venomous-X RT and I've found the orientation of the...

TTXE36 replied to the thread [SALE ON] AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D $300.00.Looks over at the 5800X3D purchased at MC for $350 a month ago and nods. In this crazy market wanted my last upgrade for the foreseeable future done. It is nice to see that stock levels have not appeared to be an issue this time.

TTXE36 replied to the thread AMD’s new pitch: our old tech is so good you should just keep using it.Depending on what you do, the 5800X3D could be a nice upgrade for the 5950X machine. The only place I've experienced the 5800X3D falling behind is stuff like video encoding where the core count really matters. What motivated me was Trainz19...

TTXE36 replied to the thread AMD’s new pitch: our old tech is so good you should just keep using it.Who said anything about amazing? I was tired of waiting. I decided back when the rumors were circulating that I'd pay $350 for one if they were available. Near the tail end of 5800X3D availability last time they were running about $290 (May of...

TApparently the rumors are true, AMD re-released the 5800X3D. I bought some of these years ago when they were still mainstream and pricing was near $300. In this environment, I didn't think $350 was a bad deal for the top dog for the AM4...

TTXE36 replied to the thread AMD’s new pitch: our old tech is so good you should just keep using it.Microcenter has new 5800X3Ds in stock now, just picked one up. $349.99. On Ebay, they are still $400+ for used ones.
