Too bad they scuttled SLI... bump 4 u

$3... cannot go wrong.. thnks OP!

On fence... sitting on a 5900x that will all core boost to 4.6. Custom loop and stays cool. My main rig is for gaming and the 5800x3d seems like a more logical processor. I bought this setup secondhand from a [H] before the x3d released.

I've been using 3 of them, this is tempting as heck.

Ain't saying much... but I'll own it. Had not gamed all summer so My 12 cores and water cooled 3080ti have just been serving up web pages. Had some downtime and decided to fire up BF5, AB was not applying the OC for some reason. Went to saved profiles.. no dice. Fire up a game or reboot...

PM incoming for the HP EliteDesk 800 G2.

I have one I'd let go for that range.. I'll shoot you a PM.

With PBO2 set up a single core will boost pretty high, mine hits just shy of 5ghz.

Light OC on water..

When you have more than adequate cooling (as it appears you do), it usually comes down to what works out best or is more convenient for routing the hoses.

Sucks... If you get your hands on a mobo I have a ES 10 core 20 thread CPU I just pulled out of my wifes old x99 rig my son now uses. CPU runs at 2.1Ghz. Let me know if you can use it.. I'll drop it in the post for ya.

My Amazon order already arrived.

Ordered one yesterday $67. Thx OP *** added*** Ordered from Amazon.

^^ Check the AMD processor thread as well.. I garnered lots of good info there and I'm able to keep my 5900x in the 60c's while gaming with a few cores boosting to 4.95Ghz and running benchmarks. https://hardforum.com/threads/ryzen-5900x-overclocking-help.2005401/

I would not expect to see spikes up to 90c with that setup. How much vcore? As noted above... I'd check the TIM application and waterblock seating right out of the gate.

Did anyone ever make a radiator fan better than the GT's? I've been using the AP-15's for decades.

Nice rig... needs some water though... ;)

Prior to coming back to AMD I was running an older Coffee Lake 8086k@5Ghz. I dropped a 9900kf@4.9Ghz into it to find out the answer to that very question. Did not see a tangible difference in games pushing 1080ti's in SLI or a 3080ti. IMHO, 6 decent cores running at speed are likely enough...

I was planning on getting a 5800x based system as I mostly game but got a banging deal on the 5900x from a forum member here. If the "new" 5800x with the vcache is an improvement in games I might get one when it releases... I really did not need the 12 cores...lol. ADL was just a no go for me...

I had bins full of them... which I just recycled a little bit ago. Same with 15k drives... I might still have a few laying about... lol.

You'll be wanting an Adaptec HBA.. they are supported all the way back to DOS... lol... ASPI!!!

^^^ On my system PBO took all of 3 minutes to setup and yielded stable results nearly immediately.

That 2060 I bought from Kyle back in 2019 is holding up well in my older son's gaming rig.

I'll chime in on both fronts as I recently upgraded and can post firsthand knowledge. FWIW I game at 7680x1440 so lots of textures to fill. 1) I would keep an eye on Vram on a new purchase. The 1080ti's I just replaced were still able to play today's games at decent quality settings due in...

Yup.. back in the day you could not swing a dead cat without hitting 3 or 4 of those Antec/Chieftech cases. I still have parts for those around... lol.

I think Koolance was the only pre-mix I've ever used... and that was some time back in the Athlon XP / Dual Xeon era. Soo.. been a lil while... lol.

Lesson learned there. I'm running the Primochill liquid utopia now... we'll see how the new loop fares.

It's the XC7. Got burned on uncoated EK blocks I was running on the 1080ti's I'd had in SLI for a few years. Both came out looking like this: Nothing in the loop but distilled water and antifungal. Whatever the performance drop I'm never putting non coated blocks in my rig again.

Getting lazy in my old age... not as pretty but functional for good cooling...

Depends on how much Vcore you are going to throw at it with the overclock. Should be good for a decent OC on both. I've found the video card only really contributes to the loop saturation when running benchmarks. I've got my 3080ti running at 2080ghz GPU boost and 9900 Mem, never exceeds mid...

^^ I put a 1060-6GB I forgot I had in my younger son's PC as a holdover until I could get my hands on a better card. We'll see if this does the trick or no.

So I had my best 4 cores set to -30 offset, the rest to -25. Got a black screen in the middle of a game last night, same thing happened when I had all core set to -30 offset. I reset to -25 all core offset. With the Vcore set to 1.3v the temps are still wonderful, under load I'm still seeing low...

^^ Yup. Still don't have a full grasp of how these work together yet. I took RM's word for which cores were best when I set my per core negative offset. Seems to be working fine so far.. could just as easily be dumb luck... lol.

Looks to be undervolting to me...

I do OC from the BIOS.. check the CPU downclock speeds in HWINFO.. they are not correct for this CPU.

^^ Was on sale last week as well... I picked one up for $303 out the door sans the heatsink.

^^ I stopped using HWINFO for this CPU, it does not read the CPU speed properly... not sure what else it may be getting wrong. So I did some more testing last night. Gamed on the rig for a few hours and temps stayed awesum... a few cores at 4.95 steady. Lost just a few points in Timespy...

Honestly don't know, still trying to figure it out. I had the vcore set to auto. Only thing I can think is the pbo2 is reducing whatever the vcore is set to. If you let the motherboard decide it will send the kitchen sink to assure stability.

Also.. what are you using for a power supply?

Doing some more fiddlin' with the OC. I was seeing temps lat night in the 70's while gaming... a few cores at 4.95ghz sustained and GPU fairly well loaded. With the amount of cooling I have I thought it was high. So aside from PBO2 per core negative offset to -25 & -30 on my best cores, I tried...
