Wonder what kind of paste it is. If it's non conductive iso might fix it. Shame it's AM3

If you put a gun to my head and told me I had to make it work, I think you could probably clean it out enough with Arctic Clean. Yes, I know that Arctic Clean s basically Orange oil Goof-Off in one bottle, and 95% iso in the other, but I know that if I do wind up killing the board for good, it's not because of what I used.

I am sure the type of person who would put thermal paste in the socket is not above getting into a public screaming match with the manager of a microcenter and making a huge scene. Sometimes its easier to just get these people out of your store by placating them with another motherboard.

I have a question regarding Threadripper. Looking at Puget System's benchmarks of Adobe and CAD suites, Intel's similarly priced 7900X typically matches or keeps up with the 1950X in multithreaded tasks but completely slaughters it when tasks are poorly threaded. Unfortunately, there isn't much to compare with as most reviewers don;t go much further then use Cinebench, don't test professional programs or don't really go into detail what they're actually testing. Assuming Puget Systems' benchmarks are accurate, is there an actual use case for Threadripper if I don't need the ECC memory support or 64 PCIe lanes,

The 1950X beats the 7900X by a pretty good margin in tasks that scale really well with more cores, it all depends on what tasks and what software you're going to be using. https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Processors/AMD-Ryzen-Threadripper-1950X-and-1920X-Review/Media-Encoding-and-Rendering

Arstechnicas take on the i9-7960X https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/09/intel-core-i9-7960x-review/2/ The i7-7960X @ 4.1Ghz default voltage pushes total system power to 687W, comparable 1950X @ 3.9Ghz is pulling 552W. the 7960X could go higher but it tries to bake itself first @ 4.1Ghz, so have fun delidding a 1700$ CPU to possibly eek out that extra 10% performance and 100W extra.

Board: ASUS Prime X370-PRO CPU: 1700X RAM: 3600MHz I updated the bios on the board because the system refused to have memory running above 3200MHz. After the BIOS update, I bumped the memory to 3333MHz and the system runs great! It's still not the full bottle yet, but we're gradually getting there!  Also, I had Win10 crashing randomly with a KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE error/BSOD. Firefox also crashed occasionally. It didn't happen often, maybe once every other day, but it drove me up the walls. I then updated the drivers from the ASUS website - especially as I had installed rinky-dink beta drivers that came with the board on a DVD. We'll see how the system will behave in the long run, but so far so good.

AMD got a design win for the Atari console/linux HTPC box. http://mailchi.mp/ataribox/first-look-ataribox-design-36241?e=04cad6848b I'm wondering what the APU will be, but an I'm wondering, Steamroller had a GDDR5 IMC on it, did Excavator carry this over? It does have a DDR3 and DDR4 dual channel IMC, so at the least could they activate both and run dedicated memory to the CPU and GPU? If Excavator still has the GDDR5 relic, what's stopping it from running DDR4 and GDDR5?

They are also most definitely not in a position to be developing games with their financials, much less selling game consoles. This is going to be ouya 2.0 at best. e: literally why there even is a company called Atari right now lmao: quote:The Board agreed to change Infogrames Entertainment’s name to Atari. This decision will enable us to make the best use of the Atari brand, capitalizing on worldwide strong name recognition and affinity, which are keys drivers to implement the Company’s online, product and licensing strategies.[5] Truga fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Sep 26, 2017 |

single CCX, which is a good thing for inter-core as it basically means there's no longer any significant ram-related latency, the memory controller stops getting a hellfire workout and they can use the space savings for the GPU

Did some overclocking on my new 1600 today. Seems like I can hit 3.8ghz at 1.325v (more like 1.31 in hwinfo). This is neither a great number, nor a terrible one. I passed 20 minutes of prime95, but I'll likely run it overnight to check for stability. Temps never went above 68C with a H80i v2. I tried going for 3.9ghz, but the motherboard developed issues posting. Only 1/3 starts could get to Windows, so I figured 3.9 might be pushing it a bit too far. Then again, I think I've read about people who had trouble at 3.9 but at 4.0 could successfully boot. More testing needed. I was also thinking that I might just aim to do 3.7ghz at some (hopefully much lower) voltage.

12NM Zen refresh coming in 2018 Q1 http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20170927PD212.html ed: no https AMD to launch 12nm Ryzen in February 2018, says mobo makers Monica Chen, Taipei; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Wednesday 27 September 2017] AMD has informed its partners that it plans to launch in February 2018 an upgrade version of its Ryzen series processors built using a 12nm low-power (12LP) process at Globalfoundries, according to sources at motherboard makers. The company will initially release the CPUs codenamed Pinnacle 7, followed by mid-range Pinnacle 5 and entry-level Pinnacle 3 processors in March 2018, the sources disclosed. AMD is also expected to see its share of the desktop CPU market return to 30% in the first half of 2018. AMD will launch the low-power version of Pinnacle processors in April 2018 and the enterprise version Pinnacle Pro in May 2018. Their corresponding chipsets, the 400 series, will also become available in March 2018 with X470- or B450-based motherboards to be the first to hit the store shelves. The chipsets are still designed by ASMedia and its orders for the chipsets are expected to grow dramatically starting January 2018. Thanks to stable chip orders for Microsoft's and Sony's game consoles, increased demand for graphics cards, growing sales for its Ryzen 7/5 processors, new Ryzen Pro product line for the enterprise sector and the top-end Ryzen Treadripper processors, AMD managed to achieve 19% sequential growth in second-quarter 2017 revenues and expects the amount to grow further by 23% in the third quarter. AMD said it does not comment on products that have not been announced. Risky Bisquick fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Sep 27, 2017 |

Jumping over 3.6 is where you start having to volt pretty significantly. That said 1.35 is completely safe and 1.4 is where you start to hit the 'chip will degrade over time maybe probably' voltage. I haven't tried pushing beyond 3.8 because....meh is that extra 100 or 200 mhz going to be worth the effort? Granted bragging about 4.0 might be.

The Glofo 12nm isn't an actual node by the old definition, I don't think. Its a rebranding of their improved Samsung 14LPP, what they were calling "14+" in the earlier leaks/articles. The big move to the new Glofo 7nm is still a ways away. https://www.extremetech.com/computing/256213-amd-will-use-new-globalfoundries-12nm-node-future-cpus-gpus

As long as you're keeping it properly cooled there's nothing wrong with going right up to 1.45, only way you're going to see 3.9+ FWIW, people tell me I have a 'nice 1800X', it goes to 4075 @ 1.45, hits about 65C max Looks like Corsair Link finally updated to remove the 20C temperature offset! No more staring at 82.2C wondering if it's really 62
