    themctipers got a reaction from Hold-Ma-Beer in 5 Core cpu's   
    not a really good cost saving measure, more confusion and price brackets is annoying to deal with
    AMD used to do it but not anymore. usually it's not only 1 defective core, but maybe multiple, and that gets cut down to a lower tier processor.

    seriously though, buy the BEST GPU you can afford. better to buy a good GPU and pair it with a temporary 'bad' CPU than to buy a midranged GPU to pair with the temporary 'bad' CPU. at least when you carry the GPU over to a new system / upgrade the CPU, you get better performance.

    There's really not much you can do besides maxxing out the RAM and adding an SSD.

    Unless you know some Chinese modders.

    What die do you have? Download thaiphoon burner and check
     
    Edit: google everything tbh when it comes to memory overclocking. I'm having fun with mine right now and there's a lot of goodies / tricks that isn't all on one website, but rather scattered across the internet 
    buildzoid is a great resource though
     
    the first thing I recommend is finding your maximum fCLK (infinity fabric) overclock as well as your maximum CPU undervolt (let PBO do the overclocking, that's what I heard was the best/easy method)
    run XMP and do a memtest for a hour or two, if it's stable at that fCLK with both a memory stress test (XMP default) and a prime95 AVX test then start tinkering with ram 
    (you want to stress memory and CPU because infinity fabric does two things: CCX to CCX communication and CCX to memory communication)
     
    assuming you have a good ram kit, see if you can match it up 1:1 fCLK and mCLK (memory speed, remember it's /2 because DDR. eg, DDR4 3200 is actually running at 1600MHz)
    it's not worth desync for fCLK and mCLK if the difference is <133MHz , but it's worth it if it's over (eg, running DDR4 3200 with a 1833 fCLK is worth it, but running DDR4 3600 with a 1800 fCLK is better than running 3600 and 1833)
     
    maximum safe voltage for ddr4 is 1.45v. Bump your ram to 1,45v for the remainder of the overclock to figure out what's the fastest/tightest configuration 
     
    I'd start off with running ryzen memory calculator and using those numbers as a beginning start, then tightening up the values. Only enter in the primaries (CAS, tRCD, tRP, tRAS) and then stress for a bit
    then lower the numbers down.
     
    Once you've lowered CAS, tRCD, tRP and tRAS down to as low as it'll go while being stable, try tweaking with tRC
    minimum tRC value = tRP + tRAS
     
    Once stable, put in the tertiary timings from the ryzen calculator
    i have no idea what to do at this point as I'm starting this point right now.. memory overclocking will take you a good while though. I recommend 8hrs stress test as the ambient temperature of the ram itself will affect stability

    1.5v at stock under idle to get high boost but stock load is like 1.35v or less
    high voltages at idle is apparently fine for zen2 because it doesn't draw much amps, but once it gets to a high load then it'll drop the voltage down because more amps 
    something something 7nm is very small, very delicate is what I remember from reddit lol

    it lowers it's clockspeed to save power, same thing happens on my 3600 and my 8350u laptop
    use ryzen master to see which cores are parked/deep sleep

    you need powertable mod
    there's one that allows you go +100MHz more on the memory (1300 total) but going any more requires to use the ones that force more voltage (as far as I know)
    I made one (just figured out which lines were different from the vanilla one, then changed the values to be larger) just so I can reach 1337GB/s bandwidth
     
    I don't run it very overclocked because if I wanted to do that, I need waterblock, I have a big voltage wall at ~1900MHz
    I run 1070mV / 1880MHz core, and 1000MHz mem (I heard that HBM doesn't like being overclocked, I don't game much anyways and I want this card to last as looooooooooong as possible)

    themctipers reacted to Silverfields in Cloudflare terminate 8Chan   
    I've been reading a lot of the same opinion, the whole "Get rid of 4chan/8chan, and the issue is solved!".

    Getting rid of the site that hosts the content/nasty people will only make the next site(s) they flock to even harder to penetrate/get rid of. The platform isn't the issue here, its the people that use the platform.

    To that end, what needs a serious look is mental health. We need to isolate the root causes of why these people end up doing these horrific acts.

    I personally think that these people feel they have nothing to live for, so they're much easier to goad into being a martyr for "the cause", whatever that ends up being. A lack of relationships(not just romantic), an oppressive feeling that everything is against them, and the ease of access to weapons certainly also contribute to the eventual decline in these people's mental state.

    On the topic of Cloudflare deciding to remove its services from 8chan, I imagine that this is a public image move.

    "Recent mass shooter used 8chan, and Cloudflare protects their website!!!" isn't a good look. While politics likely did have a factor in this, I don't think they were the major factor that caused this action.

    I mean I get it, I have 32gb of ram but I know I will probably not need it. Maybe if I start doing stuff like I used to. I used to be a content creator in Second Life so it was pretty common for me to have SL open, blender running, Gimp running and a bunch of browser windows open all the same time. And even that workd with a 1500x and 16gb of ram. Actually for a while I think I was doing it on a bulldozer 4 core with 8gb of ram.
     
    I was just looking at what you said you were using it for and the stuff you were getting didn't make total sense from a price to performance stand point. Most people want to spend as little as possible to get the most they can. And the new ryzens tend to like faster ram. I think Tom and I where both thinking you might be better off with less ram that is faster is all.
     
    And for the record, I have the 450 tomahawk and it works perfectly fine for me.

    Why people stick these stupid devices in their homes is just beyond baffling. Are people really this dumb or just don't give a fuck at all? Like, come on, would you let your neighbor listen to ALL your conversations? Of course not. But they are totally fine because it's Google and it's listened to by someone 1000 kilometers away. So all is fine. I think people don't even know what is happening and when someone tells them they look at them like they are some sort of paranoid fruitcakes. Wake up people!

    themctipers got a reaction from f2bacon in Odd ram speed?   
    CPUz tells you what your ram is really running at, while advertised speeds are really doubled of what they are running at because double data rate
    eg, DDR3 1600MHz = 800mhz real clockspeed
    your ram is running at 2133MHz for some reason, that is correct. in some systems, the RAM underclocks to save on power, try to see if the clockspeed is the same while doing something intensive
    if it is, then you've got your ram set to 2133MHz. Your ram may be rated for 3000MHz, but it's not going to run at that unless you set it to 3000MHz via XMP I believe
