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...

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...

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'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'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...

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...

Hi all, I'm currently running Windows 10 v.1903 and wanted to get a consensus on 2004. I mainly use my PC for video encoding and that's it. Best to leave all well alone or any advantages/benefits to 2004? Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

Hi All, I currently have an Asrock X399 Taichi/ Threadripper 1950X build. I have always been able to easily check and download the latest AMD chipset drivers, network drivers and Nvidia graphics drivers by going to the individual websites. I find Realtek's website very confusing and am not...

Hi all, I have the X399 Taichi and am overclocking my Threadripper 1950X. I have a stable 4GHz overclock. In OC Tweaker in the BIOS I noticed the Voltage Mode which is set to Stable. The other option is OC. Does anyone know what advantages there are to switching from Stable to OC? Also...

I am thinking about upgrading my Threadripper 1950x build to either the 3950x or TR 3960x. I am currently cooling my 1950x very effectively with the Thermalright Silver Arrow TR4 with a 3.7GHz overclock, pushing all cores with Handbrake using very high settings. I'm not interested in water...

Hi all, I'm curious if anyone has builds that have used both processors, especially using handbrake. Both have the same core/thread count. I have a 1950X build and am still baffled by its speed.

Hello, I have a Threadripper 1950X system where my hard drive is getting full and just bought a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus. I have done a few clean installs in the past with some performance issues because of the initial install. I have Win 10 install on a USB drive and want to know if it is...

I have an overclocked 1950X at 3.9GHz that I use primarily for video encoding with Handbrake & Vidcoder. It is stable and no problems while encoding. I did start to notice the minimum value would dip well below this frequency according to HWMonitor. Since I don't monitor my PC while encoding...

Hi all, About 2 hours ago my PC stopped connecting to the internet. My Mac which is hard wired as well works fine. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the network driver. Under network connections, it says unidentified network. I would appreciate help on fixing this matter. Thanks for...

With my original Windows 10 install, I overclocked my 1950X to 4GHz & 1.25V. The actual frequency says 3.9GHz This was stable with video encoding and I could also run other applications. After I reinstalled windows because I changed M.2 drives and changed the cooler from the Enermax AIO to...
