I found this regarding Samsung switching controllers. When downloading files to the drive, the largest the individual file size will not exceed 100GB. I could simultaneously write a few of these files. Then I process the files which writes another copy to the drive. After the post...

On second thought, cancelled my order for the 970 EVO Plus because someone else recommended the Crucial P3 Plus 2TB Gen. 4 for the same price. He was saying that the older 970 EVO Plus are not the same as the new ones being made, that it's like a bait and switch by Samsung and the P3 Plus...

Thanks for the same recommendation. Just ordered the 970 EVO Plus 2TB on Amazon. I know I will only be able to get another couple of years out of my rig thanks to Microsoft. Still on Windows 10. When I am forced to upgrade builds I know at the least the new MOBOs will be PCIe Gen.4

Hi all, I have an x399 Threadripper build that I am wanting to upgrade storage if it makes sense. I am not a gamer. I aquire a lot of media online and do some post processing and then move it to my NAS. I am currently using a 2TB WD Black drive for this. I like the longevity/ reliability but...

Thanks for the feedback. Can't imagine MacAfee and Norton are happy about this. It's about time Microsoft defended their own operating system.

He is definitely not going to torrent but this is Windows 11 Home, not Pro. Should he still be fine if I uninstall Webroot?

I just bought a Windows 11 Home HP laptop for my father in-law. I installed Webroot SecureAnywhere which I have on my rig which has Windows 10. A friend told me he believes Windows 11 Home has Bit locker and Windows Defender is further advanced which will protect the system from ransomware...

What fans are out there now in your opinion that are better than the ML fans?

What fans did you use to replace your fans on the Prosiphon Cooler?

After 7 months since I installed the ProSiphon Elite, I have been able to push my Threadripper 1950X further than I ever thought I could. The numbers speak for themselves and what a performance increase I have been able to get. It took some tinkering with the voltages to get a stable overclock...

I've had the Prosiphon installed for a couple months now. It attaches no less secure than the Noctua U14-S or Thermalright Silver Arrow without affecting the motherboard. After seeing this with my own eyes and pushing 1.4V at a 4.1Ghz overclock on the 1950X running all cores around 100% for...

This makes sense now. Sounds like you are going to do hardware based encoding with the graphic card. Processor (Software) based encoding is much slower.

You're encoding 4K movies between 2-5 hours? That's fast. What program and what settings are you using to encode with?

Here's the latest with this beast of a cooler: Just overclocked to 4.1 Ghz at 1.4v. Encoding a 4K movie now with all cores at 100% and pushing over 330 Watts output. Temperature is hanging at 77.5c and did not get above 78c

I've got a similar setup. I have a big case (Phanteks Enthoo Pro) so I have 3 140mm Noctua 3000 rpm industrial fans on the top of the case exhausting air out and 2 of the same fans bringing air in from the front. When turned up it is very loud. I'm hoping with the Prosiphon I can run the fans...

I just installed the ProSiphon in my 1950X rig and I honestly cannot believe what I am seeing. All along I had the Thermalright Silver Arrow TR4. Overclocking to 4.0Ghz and encoding with Handbrake where all cores running around 100% resulted in avg. temps 85c. At times it would spike over 88c...

I use Vidcoder (Handbrake) which does not use the gpu and is all processor. I use very high settings and a 60-75GB file encodes to about 15GB. What program are you using?

I'm sorry but I have no idea what this means. Any way to break it down with a step by step or tutorial?

So I'm confused about a couple of things. Right now I have 3200 memory and in the bios I am selecting XMP 2.0 Profile 1 and setting the frequency to 3200. Can I clock this 3200 memory to 3600 or do I need to replace the memory with 3600? Can you please explain more about the timing, what it...

The ProSiphon is not meant for Intel chips. This cooler was designed to perform well with Threadrippers specifically because of the large die area plus the hotter the processor runs, the better this cooler performs. This is the achilles tendon of this company. They are narrowing their market...

My thoughts exactly. If it makes me a cup of coffee as well as keep things cool I'll let you know.😁

It's more of a hobby and not very time sensitive however if I have the queue filled with a several files it can take a while. Plus one 4K movie takes over 12 hours to encode with the 1950X

I just ordered it. I'll give my take soon.

I'm encoding MKV videos into MP4 1080P and now going to be doing quite a bit of 4K content. I've researched this over the last few years and the way to get the best quality where I can take a 25GB MKV file and encode it into a 5-7GB MP4 with no noticeable degradation in picture quality is by...

I haven't seen any info on Zen 3 and know nothing about it but just on the web have I seen rumors that the starting is 16 core. I've held off so far from upgrading because I haven't seen enough of a performance increase compared with the Ryzen 5950X to justify the cost but maybe on the fence...

I'm wondering if anyone has their hands on the ProSiphon Elite and has any benchmarks. From what I've seen, it out performed the NH U14S TR4 and the Thermalright Silver Arrow by a few degrees. I have used both with my 1950X and found the Silver Arrow to shave off a couple degrees compared to...

I've also been reading that AMD will go back to 16 core which is fine for me because my main use is transcoding video with Handbrake and Handbrake supposedly cannot utilize more than 16 cores but why is the 3970X out performing the other TR and the 5950X? I'm wondering how much of a performance...

I would love to wait but I thought with AMD releasing the TR Pro to the public there wasn't going to be a new TR anytime soon. Are you referring to the 5000 series? Any info on this?

I'm considering upgrading my 1950X to the 3970X and was thinking about sticking with Asrock or moving to Asus. I currently have the X399 Taichi and couldn't be happier with it and it has lots of room to accommodate my Silver Arrow cooler. Thoughts?

I'm considering upgrading my Threadripper 1950X rig to the 3970X. I currently have 4 x 8GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200 as memory. I know the new memory comes in 3600, 4000 and up speed. I'm looking to squeeze as much performance out of the 3970X as possible. Would upgrading from my...

I am running Windows 10 1909 that I only use for video encoding/transcoding. I don't use Cortana, Edge or any other features in Win 10 and I use Firefox and Chrome as my browsers. I have the Threadripper 1950X overclocked to 4.0Ghz. Is there any compelling reason to upgrade? If so, I would...

I hear you. My system is very task specific with video transcoding. I'm not a gamer and don't do 3D rendering or other graphics intensive applications. I'll wait for the new Threadrippers to come out. From what I've heard it looks like a release early next year...

I've looked at Staxrip. The problem with utilizing the GPU is a degradation in quality. I'm a quality snob and the best video quality is when left to the CPU to do the work.

I agree but Handbrake is a different animal. I know Handbrake uses all 16 cores and 32 threads of the 1950X at 100% usage when transcoding HEVC 4K and 1080P at very high settings. For some reason, the 3970X didn't offer a sizeable improvement here. I've heard Handbrake can't utilize more than...

I'm specifically interested in seeing what the 5950x has to offer in Handbrake compared to the TR 1950X. The TR 3970X is SLIGHTLY faster than the 3950X in Handbrake. I have eliminated the 3000 series Threadrippers and 3950X because again specifically with Handbrake the performance increase...

Several months back someone on this forum processed a video I provided through a 3950x system even though the 3950x was faster the performance increase did not justify the expenditure on a new MOBO, processor and cooler.

That's cool of you to offer. I don't have the 5950x. Maybe I started a thread where we can do our own benchmarks. I built a system with the Threadripper 1950x and am thinking about upgrading if there is a sizeable improvement in performance. I can provide a 20 minute 1080P video clip and...

I don't think this is an apples to apples comparison because the encoding settings for the TR tests are different than the 5950x tests.

It seems the 5950x is a gamer's dream and most people grabbing this processor are building gaming rigs. All of the benchmarks I have seen regarding video transcoding have been compared to other Ryzen CPUs and Intel chips but I have not seen one benchmark comparing the Handbrake performance of...
