Kit is a quad-set of GSkill TridentZ B-Die 3200 C14's -- 4x8GB. Upped voltage to 1.4 and can boot and stable 3400 with XMP profile. Probably needs 1.45 for CL14 at 3600... and beyond (3800 might be a stretch at CL14 -- might be possible at 15 or 16). Haven't tinkered too much yet. :D Having too...

Looks like more details on the 1x CCD vs 2x CCD parts and their vCache/core changes here on the 7000 series.

Hot off the press from CES tonight....

Made the jump from a 2700X to a 5800X3D for 1440p. Drop in upgrade with a BIOS update. Seems like a no brainer to extend performance on same platform from Zen+ -30 all-core offset using the offset tool until BIOS updates. Offset helps with temps at idle (down to 32) on a 360 AIO and gaming...

2600x w/ 1080. I may be biased. :P AM4 supposed to be Ryzen 3xxx friendly, but I'd guess that it's the quality of the VRMs that will limit CPU support for the next-gen upper tier CPU's on the X470 boards + BIOS updates from a reputable manufacturer.... but that's pure conjecture at this point...

Many good times were had with a MyComp/TMC TI5VGF and an AMD K6-3 450.... and that awesome 4-in-1 VIA driver package on Win98 :(... https://www.anandtech.com/show/223 /s

Was thinking "BE" in the respect of some type of top-end / halo SKU of the R7 family.... as I would guess that the "FX" moniker is to be buried along with the previous gen stuff. And agree on that halo/HEDT piece... the chipsets aren't there yet, but simply a I'd say a function of time and...

Also.. here's a thought... what if AMD were to "halo" one of their new Naples/Snowy Owl's as an R7 HEDT or "R9" variant in the family like the 6800K/6900K options from Intel and re-work an improved X370 with quad channel memory support? Or could we see the return of the Black Edition R7 to be...

The AMD K5 PR133 wasn't so good :D But still, not bad for Socket 3 drop-in! :)

CCX being a cluster of 4 cores and 8MB L3, the question would be is the 6C R5 2x CCX's with 3/4 operational cores sharing L3 (ie: failed R7 QC on 1 of the members of the each CCX). More importantly, is the CCX on the 4C R3 a set of 2x CCX's with 2/4 operational cores sharing L3 cache or a...

So beautiful.... that could be a painting. :)

For lulz... Q9550 @ 3.5 GHz -- 02:56:75 :p

I'm excited that we as customers have 2 viable choices again in the CPU realm --- PC power advanced rapidly when Intel and AMD were neck and neck in the ~500 MHz+ days of K7/TBird & P3 Katmai/Coppermine and customers had a choice between platforms that leap-frogged each other all the time. Maybe...

First glance, and I could be dead wrong on this. :) NNP looks like its centered in the branch prediction portion of the core -- so maybe some type of hashing table internally for instructions with counters as well as addresses/data in the load/store queues for cached fetches (maybe also...

But..... where's the RGB? :P Can't wait for the review on this! It feels like the early K7 days again! :)

I have a Core 2 Quad. Ryzen because the jump to ~Broadwell-E performance from Yorkfield will be ... mind-blowingly awesome. :)

Man, my FX-55 and 6800 Ultra had a home on a Neo 2 Platinum back in the day. Traded up to an A8N-SLI so I could go for my first PCI-E 8800 GTX. Good times! :) GLWS!

Been a while - changed locations and spruced up the decoration slightly. Must say I'm a big fan of that cherry finish on this desk - 10 years going strong and still looks new! Mind the cabling mess - out of sight, out of mind! Major additions since last posting is the audio system - had...

Rockin' the OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Reaper HPC Edition. 4x2GB for a grand total of 8 GB. EOL of Course :) http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-ddr2-pc-8500-reaper-hpc-eol.html I think it's time for 'Yorkie' to be replaced...

Finally had the chance to retire my 4.5 year old single-core Athlon 64 FX-based system and move up into the world of Core 2 Duo for the right price. New system has 8 GB of RAM, and as such, moving to x64 was inevitable. Hence, I'm running Vista x64 SP1 on this new box. Current Audio Setup...

Single core goodness still rocking here. Honestly I'm surprised the FX-55 hasn't kicked it yet, since it's been running 3.00 for almost its' entire lifespan (this isn't those cooler running San Diego's either... she's a Clawhammer). Sure, it isn't as flashy as it once was and certainly isn't...

Keeping an Athlon 64 FX-55 @ 3.00 GHz (Clawhammer... none of this fancy San Diego stuff) and 2 GB's of TCCD, I swapped out an old MSI K8N Neo-2 Platinum and BFG GeForce 6800 Ultra (AGP) for an Asus A8N-SLI & BFG GeForce 8800 GTX. There was a big difference. :) As in, I'm able to game at...

1920x1200 when possible. :)

Ahh.... to 280 or not to 280... This FX-55 needs replacement before anything like a 280 goes near my case.

I want to, but I just can't part with the red behemoth! :( ^Free Bump^ for a guy who's looking for a working GUS with drivers! These things rocked! **memories**

GeForce 6800 Ultra in my backup desktop. Radeon 9800 Pro in the media centre. Radeon 9700 Pro in the file server. Radeon 9200 in yet another desktop. GeForce 4 Ti4400 in a test linux box. GeForce 3 in the domain controller. :) GeForce 2 GTS lives on in a Slot A Athlon Smoothwall box :)...

Not too long ago, CA was offering a free 1-year license (including updates) to their eTrust Anti-Virus package for use on Vista systems. http://home3.ca.com/SubscriptCenter/MSTrialRegistration.aspx?cid=1855 Not sure if this is still valid, but it's been working for me since August 2007...

Just as a passing thought on memory bandwidth... What's to keep NVidia from re-designing or re-working the actual layout of the GPU backend so that 2 seperate memory busses could provide the required bandwidth, instead of lumping it all on to a 384-bit bus... why not break this up across a...

*sigh* The upgrade bug is starting to bite again... But it's just so damn hard to part with the better part of $1000 of hard-earned cash for a serious C2Q upgrade when a single-core FX-55 @ 3 GHz and 8800 GTX OC still can handle just about anything I can throw at it on a 24" LCD (Crysis &...
