I remember my dad stretching to buy the Macintosh Classic with the 40mb hard drive option, which (along with 2x the RAM) increased the price of the thing by 50%

DrDork posted:AMD doesn't need to be the "value" option anymore. So their chips won't be great values anymore. Standard business, really. The 2X00s are still kickin around retail channels so I would be a bit surprised if the 3600 went away really quickly.

Paul MaudDib posted:Hopefully the price is more in the $50-100 range and not multiple hundreds though. I kind of assumed it had to be cheap if it's intended for home use because if it costs more than a hundred bucks don't you just slap an el cheapo GPU in to a PCI-E slot? You can buy a new fanless 5450 or GT 710 for under fifty bucks, and you can probably spare a single PCI-E slot on your home server rather than pay a hundred dollar premium. Enterprise would be different, for sure. It looks like Innodisk has one already but I couldn't find pricing anywhere. I suspect it's pricey.

F4rt5 posted:Right now comparable 6-8 core Intel 9 and 10 series offerings are 30% cheaper, somehow, though I want to be stupid and go team Red since I care more about multi-core performance and power draw than anything else... The nominal price gap narrows when you consider cooling solutions and motherboards - AM4 motherboards tend to be less expensive, and lower-end AMD processors come with coolers. Most people opt to replace the stock cooler, but you don't NEED to other than for noise and quality of life reasons.

do you mean the 5600 which is already a replacement for the 3600? or do you mean a replacement for the 5600?

zgrowler2 posted:My apologies, the AsRock AB350M Pro4 motherboard The backplate is a standard design for AM4 and the mountings/standoffs are standard, so you should be able to buy a 3rd party replacement AM4 backplate on Amazon. Looks like they cost about 10 bucks. This looks a lot like the stock backplate and the standoff heights should be correct.

fast cars loose anus posted:I've been looking at one of these because I don't like how the Hyper Evo 212's move around even when seated If the cooler is moving around it isn't properly seated. the screws for the mounts for AM4 on the 212s are spring-loaded and it's basically impossible to torque it down too much. Source: just installed an AM4 212.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Unless one of the screws breaks in half, in which case the cooler is useless. That's one reason I ended up spending a little more on the be quiet! cooler, because the 212 I had originally bought to use as a replacement for the stock cooler broke like that as I was installing it. yeah that would do it. fast cars loose anus posted:I had one on an intel and the cooling was working as reflected by the actual temps but that thing was able to rotate more than I'd have liked. I have no idea what else I could have done or what I could have missed since I followed the instructions. it can be making complete contact without the mount being sufficiently torqued down, which it sounds like what was going on.

FuturePastNow posted:I used the Hyper 212+ on two different builds and I don't regret it because it was a good value at the time, but there are now alternatives in its price range with much less fiddly mounting systems for sure, i got mine very cheaply with a rebate but there are easier to use options

Pablo Bluth posted:Prices will now probably jump up as everyone wants to get a EOL cpu at a good price instead of paying new gen prices. Plus there are a lot of AM4 boards out there and people will want to get the end-of-the-line upgrade. I know I'm considering it.

I assume the rest of the Intel tests were on DDR4, then? Can't watch video right now. I'm interested in performance gains for DDR5 6400 lower in the stack.

A week or so ago, mdxi very kindly gifted me a used 3600, which I used to replace my 2600X. As a result, I have a free 2600X to give away. It will come with an unused stock cooler in a box for a 5600G, and I will ship it to you anywhere in the lower 48. First PM requesting it with a name and shipping address gets it.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:drat near everything used micro-USB except Apple before USB-C showed up and there'll be new charging standards that consign USB-C to the dustbin in the future, too. Tech people are just particular about inconsequential poo poo whether it's charging cables or memory standards, and no tech company ever went bankrupt betting on that. I don't think that's true for like laptops and poo poo, I don't think any of them used micro-USB charging. Chromebooks and Surfaces did, but not full-fat laptops. There will no doubt be another standard at some point, but I think USB-C is a lot more ubiquitous than micro-USB and a lot more standardized. Micro-USB also had a 10-pin format which was used for things like external hard drives that wanted USB 3.0 speeds.

hobbesmaster posted:There are cars that literally no changes between some model years too. It’s clear what they’re trying to do, but if you’re going to just do model years then do model years? It is very uncommon for cars to be straight carryover by model year with zero changes. Zero functional changes to you, the driver and owner of the car, sure. But changes to parts, changes to parts sources, and changes to manufacturing processes regularly occur that aren't visible to the end customer.

Twerk from Home posted:Should I not? I was planning on it, after doing a hand-me-down / leftovers build where the only other new parts were $50 worth of RAM and a $40 case, only to discover that a 1700X is slower than I thought and get tempted to blow the budget and upgrade. My kids want to play Planet Zoo and other stuff that won't run on the Intel iGPU they started gaming on. Paying more money on a budget build for eight cores and 3D cache seems like a waste for your budget scratch build’s use case. I would personally get the 5600, that’s still a pretty beefy professor and should support most games well, especially at 1080p.
