Bump $340 shipped

So I ended up returning that reference card. Nothing wrong with it. But micro center had an Asrock Phantom gaming 7900xtx oc for $80 more open box. So for that little if difference I pulled the trigger. It’s a really nice card. I’m a sucker for the lights lol. Benches better. Oc and...

I have a 7900x I picked up 2 weeks ago to test etc. I bought it new/retail. I decided to go back to my 7700x. I’ve had the 7600x, 7700x and 7900x lol. I don’t really need the extra cores so going back to the 7700x. Was used with an evga 360 air cooler. Never oc’d but I did mess with...

Normal temps imo. I’d consider at least enabling PBO and undervolt. Probably pick up a few % points I’m benches and may run a bit cooler as well Oops saw you returned it. Probably bad ram.

The motherboard comes with a fan for one of the SSD’s. I did not install mine. Not horrible noise from the motherboard. On a different note, I return the 7900 XT reference card. It was my last day to return it up, Micro Center, and they had an open box as a rock 7900 XTX, phantom .The...

Yeah, I think for vr in flight sims; short of a RTX4090 is a compromise of sorts. That’s why I’m kind of looking at the Pimax 5k vs 8k. I’ve been building my own computers since the mid 90s. I’ve never really felt a compelling reason to get VR up until this point. Mainly, for VR to be useful to...

I was thinking of getting the pimax 5k super for now and maybe upgrading to the 12k depending on how launch goes. This will be my first vr rig so I’m kind of unsure. I want something with a really good fov

Re: DCS VR setup. I haven’t tried vr yet. Reason I’m upgrading

Yep, kinda how I figured it. Tweaking more at 960mv, 3000mhz in AMD tuning suite(peaks at 2830 and runs between 2700-2800 in 3dmark, per their graph, if that's accurate) and ram at 2740. Tuned the fan curve too, to be more aggressive. Still seems quiet enough.

Took the 2 hour one way trip to Microcenter. I wanted the 7900xtx Red Devil @$1079, but when I went to go get it, there was an open box Asrock 7900xt reference card for $809. I figured at that price point the 7900xt starts to make some sense. I’d give it a go. Messing with it last night I...

My 7600x and 670E Asrock Taichi takes a long time to post. Especially, If I'm running 4x16gb dimms. Once it posts, it boots fast. It's annoying, but not sure what to do about it, other than buy an intel rig lol

Yeah I’m on the latest beta bios, but I expect it to be a while before they get things up to full speed. I’m not crying about the memory speed now it seems to bench well and to do everything I need. The only thing annoying me is the sound card, software etc.; and those micro stutters. Those...

Got the parts and board. Everything going ok so far. Instaflash worked for updating bios prior to first boot. Took awhile though so if anyone is doing this don’t panic. Took a good 5 mins. Bios boot options are non existent as I can’t find them anyway. Still picked up my windows 11...

Yeah, as much as I’d love to ride the bleeding edge! I just can’t justify anything more than the 7600x now. I’ll probably upgrade to the 8c/16t vcache cpu when it arrives. So this is kinda a placeholder until then.

I’ve been happy with my Asrock boards. Have had many now, and knock on wood; they’ve been great! I come from way back in the day. AMD K6-3 vs Intel pentium 2 days. I’ve probably owned 50+ Asus boards. Asus, while nice, can be sometimes overpriced IMO. Especially, the past 5 years...

I thought of saving money in buying a 5950x or a 12900k But Csgo seems to like the new Gen 4 Ryzen , and probably the new 13th GEN Intel! . I guess, it was a good excuse to build a new system lol, And I didn’t feel like waiting for Intel to come out

Lol you’re not kidding! The 670E Tachi at $499-$20 combo-$20 rebate seems like a steal compared to Asus boards. I’ve had great luck with Asrock so hopefully they don’t let me down this time. As another user above noted. This platform should last a few generations of cpus. I’ve managed to...

Expensive af. But I wanted to get into some features that this board had and figured why not. Pairing it with a 7600x for now, and will try to run 4x 16gb gskill pc6000 cas36 evo memory. Not sure how 4 sticks will clock. We’ll see. Can’t wait to get the parts. My daughter and son want...

I’ve been holding off upgrading due to the insane markups on gpus and so so uplift over my 9900k. Zen4 or 13th gen intel made sense to me, as I want to build a new pc and give my current rig to my daughter who wants to play sea of the thieves with her dungeons and dragons friends. I Didn’t...

Ordered parts for a new Zen4 build. 7600x, asrock taichi 670e, gskill pc6000 cas 36 rev memory. Asrock 6800xt. Upgrading from 9900k@5ghz all cores. Ddr4@3600, evga 1080ti hybrid. The 7600x and 6800xt may be placeholders for a v cache chip if they are solid gains in what I need. May get a...

Learn how to install stuff yourself. You can build your next computer easy then. Stuff is NOT hard, if you have any common sense and patience to learn. Youtube will show you a TON. Just learn to stay grounded/shorted to your working area/parts etc.... That's my 2cents P.S. unless I...

For $220 I'd get the 9900 and a decent value board, and some sale ram. I'd slap it together and get 90+ % of the performance you'd get with a higher end Intel or AMD system, for a fraction of the cost. Will be a SIGNIFICANT leap from what you're running now! I'm cheap though! Was hardcore...

Wish the games I play used the AMD more effectively. I only play CSGO and DCS Combat Sim. Priority is frequency in these games and my Intel 8086k@5ghz is faster :(. Once AMD can match Intel in my games I'll jump ship, but I'm not going to spend $ on an "upgrade" and lose speed. I am very...

eh, that 9400f will be ok. I'm sure you'll be happy. Can be paired with an elcheapo mobo, cheap ddr4 and you're gtg. No oc'ing but u know that. That said, people act like you can't game on AMD. At gaming resolution the difference in FPS is minimal and unless you are a pro gamer and...

IMO ASRock is what ASUS USED to be. Great oc and decent pricing. When Abit lunched it, ASUS started their slow crawl to insane pricing. I hope ASRock doesn’t repeat this trend. I’ve owned about 7 ASRock boards in the past 7-10 years and have had GREAT experiences with them. All were imo...

North Korea is buying a few to help them get their reactors up to temp enriching uranium!!!!

I really want to get zen2 but I will want something at or near 5ghz al core to make the switch unless ipc is just stupid fast. I run an 8086k @ 5ghz all core and really don’t need anything faster for what I do. But I would like to move back to and provided I gain some performance. Not...

Look, I wanna believe but I’ve been burned by thre AMD hype machine too much to trust. And re benches amd is winning. I don’t play cinebench. I play games. If amd is better, great sign me up. I’m just saying, how I’m reading the tea leaves; is that AMD isn’t getting the clocks we...

I do think they are referring to the show demo system beating intel 9900k with 8core/16t Ryzen 2 at 4.4 or 4.5! I could be wrong

As much as I love AMD; they can’t just match performance with intel. They need to pull an Athlon again and beat Intel. Both in IPC and hopefully MHz as well. I’m concerned these lower clocks will hinder AMD in that regard. Intel still sold plenty of slower P3/4 cpus when AMD was stomps...

lol

I was in the market for a mid range card last month. Got an Asrock R570 8gb for $120 AR and it's doing well in my son's pc(7700k @4.8ghz, 32gb pc3000, etc...). He plays fortnite on high settings at 1080p and it gets good fps.

Yeah temps are not an issue. At least on our example

I got the 8gb RX 570 version of the Asrock card for my boys computer and we're happy with it. Haven't done any tweaking, just running it stock, but it is running his games well.

#learntocode lol. Teh SJW journalists must be having a seizure!

I'll only see this if she is an empowered feminist and won't allow white males to interview her ;p. /sarcasm. Looks cool though :)

The greedy imperialists needing to cover basic costs in order to pay their enlightened workers. Welcome to the progressive dream!

oh sorry. TBH I'm not sure about the Q87 chipset. I'm pretty sure the Z87 would have the multiplier adjustment. U may have to try to find a review of your motherboard from back in the day to gauge the bios options.

only minimally. IE the multiplier is locked, and you can only adjust the bus speed or w/e they call it. I think you might get a 1-2% max oc based on fsb adjustment, but past a certain point(very low adjustment area) the bus speeds get too far out of spec and cause issues. So IMO it's not...
