    FS: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with Asus ROG STRIX X570-F motherboard, EVGA GeForce GTX 960 FTW 2 GB, EVGA GTX 970 OC, Asus GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB

    Great deal. I am in the market to upgrade my 1700X, and I would buy in a heartbeat, but I don't have any cheques. 😭

    “Star Trek 4” Rumored to Feature Female Villain, New Female Hero

    It doesn't matter the sexes of the antagonists or the protagonists, what matters is if it's well written, the characters are relatable, and stays reasonably within cannon. Personally, I don't care about the JJ-verse, I just want to see what they come up with for the Tarantino Star Trek movie...

    AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen 2 2700X Zen+ CPU Review @ [H]

    This is how you know AMD isn't Intel. Not only do you not have to throw out your old board, but you also don't need the new board to take advantage of the compatible CPU feature sets. It's a good time to be an AMD buyer that's for sure.

    AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen 2 2700X Zen+ CPU Review @ [H]

    Glad to see the new Ryzen continuing the legacy it's predecessor set before it. I love my 1700X, and will be holding out for third gen Ryzen before upgrading again. Now is an exciting time to buy a new CPU from AMD after closing that gap for real toe to toe competition.

    Cloudflare Bets on ARM Servers

    ARM can be licensed by anyone. As long as AMD or Intel can make a robust implementation of ARM, that could be the deciding factor on future enterprise purchases. AMD K12 anyone?

    Super Talent DDR4-3200 16GB $54.90

    Finally got my order cancelled and my money back. Shame it was a waste of time, but at least the turn around was faster than say Paypal.

    Super Talent DDR4-3200 16GB $54.90

    I still have order verification as well. I reached out to newegg business customer service to cancel and they said they couldn't. Live and learn, yet another reason not to use newegg, it's gone downhill.

    I just bought 2 sticks. Whether or not the deal is honored, or if it turns out to be chinese fake ram, I'll report back.

    GIGABYTE AORUS GTX 1080 Ti Waterforce Xtreme Edition @ [H]

    Yawn....yet another CLC. Wake me when the graphics card manufacturers come out with their own renditions of the ASUS Poseidon cooling solution, or something else equally as inventive.

    32GB Amazon Fire Phone (AT&T Unlocked, Refurbished) + 1-Year Prime Membership $110

    Walmart Family Mobile has unlimited talk, text, and data for $35, but I think only the first 1 gb is 4g. I've just started using it recently, it's a lot better service than my previous MVNO, Ting.

    Finally bought a dedicated sound card

    This may be due to the notated horrendous DPC latency that is common with the Xonar series. Uninstall the drivers, and try reinstalling with the Uni Xonar drivers as shown above, but using either the low DPC option or the C-Media control panel option that prompts during install...

    I got the 290X ..

    I also recently purchased this card also. Very happy with it for the most part, the cooler is oversized and the fan shroud pushed against my sound card in the 3rd slot and jammed up one of the fans....so this is more of a 2.5 slot card. It stays cool and quiet under load for an AMD Hawaii GPU...

    Intel Recognized as Major Brand Leading Conflict Mineral Initiatives

    This shouldn't be a surprise, Intel is a zionist company afterall. That's partially why I go AMD for all my builds, the other being healthy competition is good for the wallet.

    Upgrade from PhenomII X6 1045 to ?

    It's funny how AMD CPUs get dogged just cause programmers are too lazy to spend time multithreading their applications. Hardware has far outpaced software at this point. For now, after the compiler crippling, exclusionary OEM deals, and supporting zionism, I simply don't see myself buying...

    For gaming

    Terrible benchmark that scales to clockspeed. Even the jump to quadcore didn't cause a significant boost to framerate. Reminds me of Guild Wars 2.

    FX 6300 or 8370e for gaming?

    Apparently the 970A-G46 is a board known to have shoddy 4+1 VRM power phases and lots of throttling from VRM overheating. The AMD Motherboard VRM database states avoid 8 core CPUs. http://www.overclock.net/t/946407/amd-motherboards-vrm-info-database tl:dr - If you must upgrade get the 6300...

    Radiator on side panel lower than CPU/Pump ..it is ok?

    Could you mount the cooler in CD rom bay area and suspend it with zip ties? I did something similar in my Coolermaster Storm Scout with my Water 2.0 Pro, however I had a mesh front. Not sure how well your case can breathe in the front, but it's a thought.

    Radiator on side panel lower than CPU/Pump ..it is ok?

    Suppose to be no air is different than there not being air. Water already has a mixture of gases which can be brought out by agitation/cavitation. Bottomline is there is air in ALL CLCs, and you will get air bubbles trapped in your pump if it's at the top of your loop. ONCE AGAIN DO NOT DO THIS.

    Radiator on side panel lower than CPU/Pump ..it is ok?

    There will be air in the pump if you set it higher than the radiator. DO NOT DO THIS. This will make a lot of noise and could damage your pump.

    Swiftech H220-X CPU Liquid Cooling Kit AIO Review @ [H]

    Go to the Swiftech site and part out the cost of a 120x2 copper radiator, an MCP35 pump, an Apogee XL cpu block, and 2 Helix fans. This AIO is cheaper than the sum of it's parts. You're getting real high end watercooling gear, which is far from average, for an absolute steal.

    Swiftech H220-X CPU Liquid Cooling Kit AIO Review @ [H]

    I recently got the H240-X and I love it. The overall build quality of the unit is superb, and the pump, while being more powerful has less of an audible "ticking" sound than my old Thermaltake water 2.0 Pro Asetek clone, and don't get me started on the quietness of the fans. Swiftech has made...

    CPU Cooler - Vertical Motherboard

    Sure doyll, 212 and the g950 are pretty comparable, except in price. $20 .....20.....dollars.....shipped...... I'd like to see someone post a comparable heatsink for the same price cause I have yet to see it in this thread.

    CPU Cooler - Vertical Motherboard

    If you're looking for a quiet cooler and don't want to mortgage the house I suggest the Dynatron G950. At 800g its pretty big and dissipates 150w of heat with a quiet PWM fan in the 600-1600 RPM range. I use to use one with an overclocked Phenom II X4 @ 4.0 Ghz. If I were still aircooling I'd...

    Intel Pentium 4 Settlement

    I've been buying AMD for years, for myself, friends, and family. Intel's strong arming of OEM's, compiler cheats, and change of socket/chipset yearly has made it a very unattractive option for me. AMD has always been good enough while leaving me extra money to drop on a better videocard.

    AMD Catalyst 12.1 Preview Profiles and Performance @ [H]

    I did, I also uninstalled the old drivers and application profiles completely. Twice. Trust me, it's the drivers. For some reason these 5830's are the red headed step child of the AMD family, there are lots of threads on various forums about crossfire headaches and these cards. Furthermore...

    AMD Catalyst 12.1 Preview Profiles and Performance @ [H]

    Believe it or not, these drivers DISABLE crossfire for me, period. It complains my bridge is not working properly. Revert back to 11.11c, no problems. AMD flubbed up somewhere. Oh, 2X Radeon HD 5830's here.
