Do you guys think its price will lower in the coming few months? Or maybe sometime next year? I see it reaching ~ 2700$ in newegg which is insane compared to the MSRP: https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007709%20601408874 The 5000 series launch date is still away, right? Hopefully its price...

Thanks buddy. How about the water blocks? Do they deserve this price? Maybe their thermal conductivity is top notch that's why are so expensive?

If you have a large enough case, can you just daisy chain radiators without worrying about changing something else in a pre-configured kit? I mean will adding more radiators require for example more pump power or anything like that? Also, regarding fans, I used to get gentle typhoons which were...

I see. Not only you need a huge power supply or two, you also need some serious custom watercooling loop. I was trying to explore options and make it easy on myself, but this last sentence of yours made it clear. Thanks.

Yeah you are right. I'm not going to do a very extreme overclock with LN2 which made the cpu draw about 1000 watts. But still it will draw close to 500-600 watts when overclocked and under load, so with that rule of thumb it sounds like I need more than one radiator. Too bad.

Just thought of something. If 120mm is good for only 100 watts, then you will need at least ~ two 480mm radiators to dissipate the heat of a cpu drawing ~ 800-1000 watts! . I was thinking to use one custom loop with one 480mm radiator. Are you implying that I might double radiators?

Will sure do. Thanks.

Yeah. I see that now. Honestly, if some friend told me this or wanted to correct me I will laugh at him. And now you are telling me it happened in the same line.

Okay that's good. So the kit I linked should just work https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-pro-qdc-kit-p360-amd-str-sp3 Will changing the radiator in the above kit to 480mm improve performance? Or the best combination is what's in the kit? The screenshot of the j2c video confused me because the...

Customized watercooling no longer offer a big advantage over best air coolers and AIO's, but if you want silence and looks, and want to overclock a new threadripper(sTR5 socket), then the story will change and it will become applicable again. My last two custom loops were from XSPC. I buy ready...

The 92% was done with LN2. 100% is simply doubling your speed, and that's what they almost did if you compare the overclocked freq with the base one. Well I was thinking about this the other day and was trying to convince myself that a great AIO will suffice. They are cleaner, much easier to...

I have seen good results. I mean you can increase the frequency by more than 30%. It is worth it even if doesn't equate 40% increase in benchmarks. You need power and the best water cooling loop you can get and it will be a good project...

Hopefully what you say is true. I can't wait to overclock this multi-core cpu.

Some potential bad news for overclockers: https://skatterbencher.com/2023/11/21/9-new-things-about-overclocking-ryzen-threadripper-7000/#:~:text=All%20Ryzen%20Threadripper%207000%20processors,implicit%20agreement%20is%20no%20more.

Have you guys seen this: https://skatterbencher.com/2023/11/21/9-new-things-about-overclocking-ryzen-threadripper-7000/#:~:text=All%20Ryzen%20Threadripper%207000%20processors,implicit%20agreement%20is%20no%20more. Have no idea if it is true, but it is bad news. Overclocking a 7000 series...

I can see in der8auer's video that in the most demanding moment (Extreme OC with LN), the 7980X drew ~900 watts itself. The 7970X should draw considerably less specially that I'm only going to use water cooling and perform less extreme OC. A 2000 watt PSU should be more than enough to power a...

And the connected device can be the motherboard or video card or disks.....Everything is working fine with me now but it could be that one device or more are little faulty and causing funny illogical problems. Some devices when they go bad, they don't die but they cause you problems you would...

No way I'm not doing that. Why would I spend ~150 $ for another case and go through the build process again. I bought the panel for 30 $, and will use a tape or something to keep it in place.

You are right, but unfortunately the maid threw them away when she cleaned the mess. And at that time I didn't know I would find the panel without the hinges and screws.

I was able to find the side panel as a replacement part from phanteks website but without hinges and screws. https://www.phanteks.store/collections/replacement-parts/products/enthoo-pro-replacement-parts?variant=39515153530935 Better than nothing at least. Now I will have to find a way to put...

I'm being frank. I didn't know. I mean you buy your computer parts each from a different place and they all work together because of standardization. Plus one end of the PSU cables should be the same in all PSU cables because it will interface with the mobo and video cards...etc. To have it...

Thanks guys. I honestly didn't know you have to use the same cables that came with your power supply. One would mix and match cables. Shouldn't they be just standardized ? I'm surprised they are not. If for some reason you lose your power supply cables, where would buy replacements? Same...

Well, I already said it is the cable. It was confusing the hell out of me. And I wanted to know if it is a sign for PSU failure or not because this is important.

This is what happened exactly. The damn cable. It wasted my time. You mentioned tripping.....do you mean it turned on and immediately back off? I think the bad cable didn't allow the PSU to turn on at all. The fan didn't spin. I think if it trips the fan will move a little. Hopefully no damage...

Hi to all, This has to do with a re-build I just did and I want to know if my PSU is still good or if what is a sign of failure. This is the PSU: https://www.thermaltake.com/smart-pro-rgb-750w-bronze.html The full story is in this thread...

Hi....Here is an update and it might be the last one. The system is fully operational now with all SSD's detected, but I'm extremely worried about few things. One time while I was in windows 10, a message popped up and said something along the lines: Your disk has errors and needs to be...

I really hate it when people don't believe me. Provide a link for this article if you insist that I have read some tom's article. I would be surprised if there is an article with the exact same wording and math as mine. I'm old school and don't like current social media apps. I like forums and I...

Well, if I end up buying a threadripper system, I will get the 32-core 7970X non-pro threadripper with a compatible motherboard (Most likely Asus), and a 4090, one or two SSD's for OS, and one large capacity spinner HDD for data, 128 RAM kit, and a water cooling kit. That's about it. I may add...

What tom's article? I did the math myself and didn't read anything. I can see why it could be wrong though. A 100% increase is too good to be true. Like I said, it may not be easily calculated because cores boost differently depending on the load I think. With one load you may have 1 core spike...

What's the all core speed? Doesn't all cores operate at the base clock speed, and when it is under load it boosts (not all cores) to the turbo frequency? From what you are saying I can see that it is a bit more tricky. Cores can run at different speeds depending on the situation. Maybe you need...

I calculated the percentage comparing the all core overclock speed (4.8) to the base speed (2.5) . That's how I got 92%. (4.8 - 2.5) / 2.5 = 0.92 I mean when the cpu boosts not all cores go to the turbo/boost frequency. When you do all core overclock, you force the cores to operate at the...

No to PBO, I can now see that there is more fun in overclocking threadrippers. Yeah......I guess you are right. 15% is boring. I've seen the 7995WX overclocked to about 92% more with only air (That's almost double the base)...

May I know how the calculation is done? In the US, the wall outlet gives 110 volts and 15 amps, right? Which is 1650 in watts so that's why you need a circuit with higher amps rating or two circuits if they pull 1800w. Where I'm the wall outlet gives 220 volts and 13 amps which is ~2800 watts...

Very interesting. 800W to 1800W and 2 PSU's, oh WOW. I'll take a look at the videos.

Is it really better with HEDT? Are you saying that if you have a big enough PSU, you should be able to get a meaningful overclock with non-pro threadrippers?

Hi ! I know some people here blamed me for trying to resurrect this old system but it is mine at the end. To be frank, I got disappointed yesterday. I updated the BIOS and replaced all the SATA cables but the SSD's detection remains and I can't really draw a good conclusion from the sequence of...

Great. And hopefully things will mature in a positive way, specially price wise ^_^

Yeah, the 7970X is what I'm planning to get if I decided to pull the trigger. What sort of performance percentage you will lose for gaming if you pair this threadripper with the top video card? Compared to mainstream cpus. I mean, games are highly dependent on video cards.

Very well said. You expressed my feelings in your writing.

Oh I see, so it is not an issue with threadrippers. That's good. Any other downside for using more than 2 sticks in a threadripper system? Thanks.
