Klyith posted:Yes, that generally works these days as long as you aren't doing anything unusual with the storage system (raided drives etc). The only fucky part is that I'd be moving from an ASRock X470 board to an Asus X570 board. Not sure if that will create issues with driver conflicts.

You could uninstall the chipset drivers first if you wanted. Klyith posted:Nah that'll be fine. These days Win10 can move from intel to AMD and generally handle it if both systems are vaguely modern. I was able to move my "system" from a X470/2600X platform to a X570/3700X with only two tiny snags...

Consensus is that a good 600W PSU will be sufficient for a 3700X and 3070, correct?

Thanks DrDork, sean10mm, and CaptainPsyko; just wanted to cross check. Really stoked to see Noctua finally release so many chromax coolers. Copped a U9S chromax for my partner to go with an SF600 for the aforementioned 3700X/3070 build. Khizan posted:1) What would a good CPU cooler be for a 3600 in the Fractal Design Nano-S? I'm not intending on overclocking, so the Wraith Stealth it ships with would probably be fine, but I'd prefer something a bit quieter. Fractal Design website says maximum height of 162mm.

gently caress Man posted:I think the use of multithreading in Power BI, at least, is minimal. I saw a huge reduction in compute time switching from a 4c/8t to 6c/12t machine using PowerBI. Trying to process, relate, and compile 17 datasets of ~250,000 records each was not happening on a human timescale using the 4c/8t "workstation" laptop w/32GB of DDR4-2666. The machine would peg the CPU and RAM to 100% then churn for hours; I eventually gave up. Running the same task on a 2600X with 16GB of DDR4-3200 took <10 minutes. Not sure if cores, frequency, or RAM speed was the bottleneck. YMMV, just sharing my experience using PBI to crunch substantial datasets on two different setups.

Trying to find some controller options for my partner who doesn't prefer kb+m play, is the Xbox Wireless Controller + Wireless Adapter "the best" mainstream wireless controller experience on PC? They're not a super hardcore gamer and the more expensive options transcend overkill.

Thom ZombieForm posted:Thanks for all the help with the build goons, the new computer has been great so far, with one observance: after some time in-game, some fan/s start short bursty revs (sounds like an engine being revved aggressively by vin diesel) It sounds like you're exceeding some temperature threshold, so the fans speed up to drive temps down. My mobo will spin all fans at 100% if the cpu exceeds 86.1°C regardless of whatever fan curve is set in BIOS. Have you mucked about with fan curves in BIOS?

Very happy with my Asus Strix X570-I, thankful for the IO when I need to connect 5 devices to my machine in addition to the KB+M, headset, webcam, etc. Was able to grab a second one for my partner last week that had a "AMD RYZEN 5000X DESKTOP READY" sticker on it.

denereal visease posted:How slow are all those fans spinning at 85.5° C? Samadhi posted:The fan curve has them at 100% over 75º C, which on the Noctua fans is 1500RPM. I had a board that actually just didn't use the CPU temp to adjust fan speed. I could set whatever curve I wanted, but it only ran the fans at the lowest speed I set. Your 5800X is running hotter than mine in an air-cooled SFF build (w/PPT capped @ 130W), so something seems off.

Samadhi posted:I just checked, all the fans are running at 100% when they should, so the fans are operating properly. I did another stress test and it was only hitting 83° as a max, so it is a lot better then it was before the Noctua fans. That said, it is odd, but that seems within parameters, and I'm wondering if I just got a hot chip. I am hoping to get a 5900X sometime in the next month, as I have someone who wants my 5800X for their eventual build.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:At the same time, the 5600X is a straight up performance winner in gaming, versus the 5800X and 5900X. MaxxBot posted:Where are you seeing the 5600X beat the 5800X and 5900X in gaming? HalloKitty posted:However, a 5800X being slower than 5600X? I don't really buy it, it's just one fully enabled 8-core ccx.
Both chips are great for gaming if you can get them. The premium for 2 extra cores and slightly higher clocks with the 5800X vs the 5600X is not needed for most people in this forum doing builds, but lots of posters are buying the 5900X 12 core parts for their gaming rigs for some reason  e: someone who is more awake then I am can riff on thermal density and the CPUs ability to transfer that heat into the cooling solution, why the 5800X is thermally denser that the 5600X but lower thermal density than the 5900X, etc. e2: actually OP come back and cite your sources lmbo spunkshui posted:There should be a setting called "fan delay" or something similar that will make the case fans wait for a prolonged heat. denereal visease fucked around with this message at 14:12 on Mar 11, 2021 |

Right, I think we'd all allocate the budget to the GPU first. I don't think anyone is recommending people prioritize a 5800X over a 5600X when the budget is constrained. But people upthread seemed to be arguing that the 5600X is a better gaming GPU based on a dataset comparing 5600X+3080 vs 5800X+3070 and one cannot draw valid conclusions from an asymmetrical comparison like that.

Ok, thank you for clarifying; the choice to use "1080p", "higher resolution", and "1440p+" obscured the intended meaning.Pilfered Pallbearers posted:I’m saying the 5600x and 5800x perform basically equal at 1440p and above, so there’s no reason to spend an additional $150 for sub 5% gains. I would not agree with the statement that the 5600X is the objectively better gaming CPU in all circumstances. I do not think that you are making this argument. Is the 5600X best gaming CPU for most people in this thread? Absolutely, but that includes some qualifiers like you mentioned.

Fantastic Foreskin posted:If you want to argue take it to the AMD cpu thread, we don't want to put off the hardware non-enthusiasts that come to this thread. That kind of information is probably very helpful for people who only look itt once every 5 years and don't think about hardware outside of their build/upgrade cycle. IMO someone making an objectively false statement and it going unchallenged is not helpful to new or returning builders coming to this thread for advice. No one is contesting the value argument for the 5600X vs 5800X.

zeldadude posted:What are everyone's favorite case fans? I'd prefer RGB (this is my first build in like 7 years so I have no choice, I *have* to add RGB!) but I guess if there's some that are better that aren't RGB that's fine too. The original Noctua color scheme is gross (imo, some people love it), but apparently you get a y-splitter and a 'low-noise adapter' in every box. They may come with some other stuff, but I've only every gotten their chromax parts and been very pleased with them. The chromax line does't include the splitter and the fans only have like a 5cm lead on the PWM header, but they all come with 20cm extensions and 'low-noise adapter'. They aren't an affront to aesthetic sensibilities. denereal visease fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Mar 15, 2021 |

Yo the Corsair A500 is not at all in the same class as the NH-D15S. It can achieve similar performance to an NH-D15S by spinning it's tinier, louder fans at 2300+ RPM versus 1500 RPM for the NH-D15S: link. I am by no means an expert or whatever the gently caress you want to call it, but there are some legitimately bad recommendations and info getting tossed around itt lately. The A500 is the thing you buy when the shelves are barren.

spunkshui posted::words and specifics: My issue is not someone recommending the A500 for a specific user and their use case, it's definitely fine for a 5600X. But the broad generalization (like the "5600X is the best gaming CPU hands down!" dust-up) that it's comparable to a NH-D15S is not fine.

neogeo0823 posted:What's the appreciable difference between the bronze and gold ratings for a PSU? Pilfered Pallbearers posted:It's an efficiency rating. In turn, low efficiency ratings generally mean lower quality (at least up to gold, beyond gold it rarely matters). Ugly In The Morning posted:I’ve never seen anything past gold that wasn’t for a workstation or the most truly more-money-than-sense type enthusiasts. Pretty much all SFF components come at a premium, so it's generally not a big ask of SFF builders to pay a little more for a higher efficiency PSU.
