AMD RYZEN 7 CPUs bring performance on par with Intel's best at a much lower price
 
Buy AMD RYZEN on Amazon: http://geni.us/SG3WS
 
 

I can't believe it's finally happening, we've all been waiting too long for this. AMD is a serious competitor to Intel again atlast. Definitely worth the wait, thank you AMD.
 
Needless to say, I am too excited!!

Great idea!
Let's melt Antartica and flood the Earth!
 
Welcome to the LinusTechTips... Whole Earth water cooling project: Part 6b

So new AM4 socket shows to have a pin count of 1331 which is 40% increase over older AM3+ which haves 942.
It's said to have support for 3200Mhz dual channel DDR4 and up to 24 PCIe lanes depending on motherboard chipset.
 
That's a big increase from older platform indeed and it's using PGA as it was already known that it will. Also as far as memory and lanes details we'll have to wait.
 

 

 
Maybe they could've remove 3 of those 4 bulges to add 6 more pins to make it total of 1337 that'd be pro hehe.

EDIT:
 
Alright, we have selected our winners!!!
 
@Plavi and @willp3, you have 72 hours to respond to the DMs I am sending you right now. If we do not receive a reply in that time, new winners will be chosen! Since both said that the Blade would be their choice, it's on a "first replied first served" basis. (for clarity - what this means is that the first winner to reply will get their choice between the two laptops, and the second winner to reply will get the laptop that the first winner did not choose. This does not mean that we're only giving away one laptop...)
 
Thanks everyone.
 
 
EDIT2:
 
Alright, so @Plavi has officially claimed the New Blade! Congrats on winning

But, unfortunately for @willp3, he did not respond in time to claim his prize...

Our new Blade Stealth winner is @ted542! Check your inbox, you have 72 hours to reply
 
 
EDIT3:
 
Both laptops have now been claimed. Thanks for participating in this awesome giveaway, and please be sure to keep an eye out for giveaways in the future!
 
 
Please don't report posts in this topic - all duplicates will be handled before drawing, so if you have double posted, don't worry about it.

Close your eyes just like you'd put on headphones if your rig was a jet engine obviously /s

@UltraNeonGaming My review of the SP120 RGB fans for those interested: http://thermalbench.com/2016/09/02/corsair-sp120-rgb-led-120-mm-fan/
 
HD120 fans undergoing testing now. I got these a couple of days ago only, so there was no real time for the release.

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words
 
HD120 RGB will be an even bigger challenge in showing off the customization effects without a video setup lol.

@JurunceNK @DarkBlade2117 Iv'e tried the LED behind my TV thing when it was hanging on a wall. It adds an effect of the TV kinda popping at your face and I find it distracting and fatiguing to look at after a while.

Made a quick video of the fans in action for those interested (don't expect a high quality video here):

I will attempt this.  That is a very good point I didn't think about before.  Currently ordering one off of Amazon, because their return policy is solid.  So if that is not the issue, I can pop it back over for no money loss.

This is currently my favorite solution, seeing as it allows for only software modification.  But I can't figure out on my rig, or online how to remove the 75c cap on the CPU fan before it revs up to 100%.  If you can find out how/link me to somewhere that says how, I will gladly send the game your way.
 
If somebody else can link this solution first, you can have one of my other games I have lying around AND UltraNeonGaming can get his prize.  :-)

This would be the best solution so far, bar none.  But I can't see where to turn off the 75c cap in fan xpert.  At least for the CPU fan.  For all other fan headers, you can turn it off, which I have to keep my fans running at 50% no matter the temp.  Best performance/sound ratio I have found.

Voltage is good.  And the primary time it is ramping up is during COD Black ops III sessions.  Encoding does not always ramp it up.  If doing H265 it does, but H264 does not seem to put it past 50c-60c tops.  Once leveled out.  Obviously it spikes right away, but then levels out like all CPUs do.  Tonight when I get home, I will attempt a few of these solutions.  In the order posted.  And in doing so, hopefully solve my problem!  Though like I said before, the temps don't bother me.  It is the noise of the pump revving up to 100%.  I know my case is part of the reason for the higher temps, because if I pull the front/top panels off, I don't break 65 when playing.  But to do that every time is silly.  I knew the case would cause warmer temps due to the airflow being slightly restricted.  But it was worth the trade off to me.  Sound dampening is more important.

I appreciate all of the replies you guys have given, and thank you for all of it.

You can run the system with nothing in the CPU_Fan header. Just disable that header's monitoring within the BIOS, you can swap whatever is plugged into it to another header. Make sure you plug it into a 4-pin header as the MCP50X ramps with PWM. If you haven't already make sure the header is running in PWM mode instead of DC (change in the Q-Fan section of the BIOS). If it's already in PWM mode you can try alternating to DC and see if that gives you any kind of difference in temps.
 
If you wanted less noise a D5 variant with flow control would have been the way to go, and you wouldn't have to deal with PWM controls.

Done. The only way I got it under 2MB was resizing because compression made it look horrible and resizing was the only option left especially with these kinds of complex graphics.

Glass reservoirs are nice yeah, sometimes they have a nicer color to them with colored coolant. I've always been really partial to bitspower's pump+ res kits, they look so sleek and nice IMO
 

They also just released the GLASS series of their reservoir and reservoir pump combos
Probably more people will be interested in that
Glass reservoirs are pretty sick
