My friend had a 230V 12cm Delta (or maybe papst?), made of metal. The cooling performance was solid, but you had to use hearing protection, also you couldn't stop the fan with your fingers.

Does 16core threadripper have two 8 core ryzen dies? So no disabled cores? Or is the threadripper four 8 core part with half of the cores disabled?

I wonder if the rad fits to the top 120mm slot on a silverstone raven 02: http://www.silverstonetek.com/raven/images/products/rv02/rv02b-inside.jpg If yes, I could see myself actually using a watercooled setup for the first time in my life. I don't want to buy an expensive $150+ case just to fit an AIO though.

Maybe the mobos come with a full backplate too? E: having AIO come default with TR CPU's might actually be a good idea

The two modes with TR seem to be a pain in the rear end. For me it feels too much unnecessary thinking and tweaking. I'll look at the new intel 6 core models, and if they really can go ~5GHz+ on all cores with decent temps it is the way to go. Amd just won't catch intel in single threaded performance this year. (Or maybe it just looks like so because anandtech used garbo ddr 2400 or something instead of 3200+..) Ihmemies fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Aug 10, 2017 |

The only way to get intel to stop using that lovely TIM is to see someone else, like amd, crush Intel in competition. And the only remaining way for Intel to be competitive has to be to stop using that lovely TIM they've used for a decade+

I have everything configured to perfection. But I finally have to reinstall because my Windows is on a MBR disk and I guess it's time to move to GPT, separate recovery partion and all that. I guess there's no way to migrate old MBR windows installation to the new system? E: apparently creators update has a new MBR2GPT tool to fix this issue. Wow. So I'll just clone my current disk to a new SSD, Upgrade to win10 and see how that works. Ihmemies fucked around with this message at 13:44 on Oct 31, 2017 |

My m.2 nvme temps dropped at least 20C after moving the ssd to a corner of the motherboard instead of between gpu & cpu. Another good idea is to use pci express cards with m.2 slots. I don't understand why mobo makers place some of the m.2 slots to terrible hot zones.

So the only passive X570 board is the ultra expensive Aorus Extreme? Does any other board have passive cooling? My old intel mobo from 2008 had heatpipes and copper heatsinks. The X58 chipset had 24W TDP and the motherboard was 300€. X570 is 11W TDP, slap on some loving heatpipes and heatsinks, they cost like $5 or whatever. How loving cheap can the mobo makers be?!

So I guess CL22 memory sticks are a thing: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/team-group-t-create-classic-10l-ddr4-3200-mhz-cl22-2x32-gb/ Never seen a pair of 3200mhz CL22 sticks. I first thought it must be a typo, CL22 instead of CL12. Apparently the only reason for that latency is that they can run at 1.2V stock instead of 1.35V. Absolute slowest pair of memory I've ever read about.

I use the line out of Maximus X hero. Had problems with my Xonar sound card so ai ditched it. With a poor RCA cable to headphone amp I get some buzzing noise. With a better cable which uses a separate route, away from all the other cables, I get a nice clean signal. I don't hear any other differences. There are measurably better external dac's, but the internal dac seems to do the job well enough (= it doesn't sound like poo poo). Too much effort to spec an external dac and then even more effort to ABX blind test it vs. motherboard integrated DAC.

Some of the coolers are not flat. They are convex for whatever reason. So only the "tip" touches the CPU properly and the coolers rotate easily because the contact area is so small - even when properly tightened. Personally I like flat coolers more, although some claim the convex shape increases cooling performance 🙄

So will the Zen3+ be the tits? With extra stacked L3 cache on top of the CPU die? Didn't Intel make something similar with a 128MB cache and it was extra good in games. I really want to get rid of my 8700K - it is slow after all the patches, and these hotter weathers at 14nm are no good. Even with liquid metals the thermals are crap because so many games use AVX these days. 4,7GHz allcore with AVX murders the thermals in games. I had to revert back to stock because the cpu was burning while playing. How much chiller Zen3 is in games with AVX? I'm thinking about a 5900X or the replacement model when the Zen3+ with extra cache comes in autumn, with a X570S fanless chipset. I could use my 3600CL15 DDR4 ram for a couple of years more.
