  1. Ah yes, spending 50% more money for <15% improvement in some tests is not unreasonable. I suppose could see that making sense at the Ryzen 5 —> Ryzen 7 level. But from 7 to 9? Idk I am genuinely looking for help, and I said I won’t go for a 7950X long before you ever posted. When I used gentle sarcasm at first, you doubled down on your bad recommendation. I think it’s entirely justified to call out your niche, weird recommendation of providing less power to a CPU Ive already said I don’t want. If you want a specific budget, call it $500 for the CPU and $600 for the cpu and cooler. That puts anything over the 7900/X out of budget. I basically already said that: Reading this would’ve saved you sooooo much time! Can we move on and put this behind us? I’ve decided on 7900, unless there are any objections
  2. That’s so cool! Unless you were planning on sending me money, it’s still out of my budget. Anyway…
  3. Ok so you’re telling me that if I have a perfectly cool room and I limit the TDP to 60% of the rated value, I can air cool a CPU that’s out of my budget with a mid sized cooler. Awesome!
  4. Sorry, I misspoke. Not MSRP. The 7800X3D is $449 and the 7900 is $428. And yeah that’s why I’d like to see benchmarks from other places including real world performance comparisons between the 7800x3d and 7900. Good point with the latency explanation! I figured their test would account for caching, but that’s probably too complicated
  5. The effective cost of the 7800X3D is $50 higher than MSRP due to cooling, whereas the 7900X is $150 above MSRP for that reason. If I pick the 7900 non-X, it’s cheaper (which is fine idrc) but I’d love to know what I’m losing on performance. userbench indicates a massively lower memory latency with the 7800X3D compared to the 7900, but otherwise performance seems to be a win or a wash for the 7900. Do other benchmarks (synthetic and real world) show this favorable outcome for the 7900 too?
  6. Care to explain? The 13900K (and anything Intel these days) seems like a massive compromise in everything except for performance, due to the massively higher price, power consumption and ungodly cooling requirement
  7. Yes, the over $500 CPU plus the extra $150 for an AIO is more than I’d like to spend here—so I’m not a fan of the 13900k or 7950X
  8. I’m looking at getting a high end CPU for my new build. I do video editing and gaming so I want something that balances performance in those realms very well. The 7800X3D is a popular pick, but it doesn’t perform as well in productivity and non-gaming workloads. The 7900X outperforms the 7800X3D in almost every benchmark, and when it doesn’t it’s still within 5%. The downside is I would absolutely want an AIO so even though the CPU is cheaper, cooling it is far more costly. The 7900 doesn’t make many lists and it’s almost never directly compared to the 7800X3D, so I’m really looking for information that directly compares them. A lot of the “versus” websites are dubious — Userbenchmark hates AMD so I’d like another source. BUT if their comparison is replicated on other sources, I’d totally just go for the 7900. So which option balances all-around performance best? And which does it without being crazy expensive
  9. Two mics is not necessary, but as you say it’s a good backup. I don’t know about the specific wireless system you’re mentioning, but generally speaking you need a camera that can use internal or external timecode if you want the audio to sync with video frames directly. Either a wireless receiver must be connected to the MixPre via a port such as XLR, or a microphone directly. The MixPre should also be connected to the camera. That model supports 32-bit float, and LTC generation, so you wouldn’t need a separate device for timecode. 32 bit float allows for insanely high dynamic range, which is good for that train problem.
  10. I know Linus uses the Mixpre from Sound Devices. Seems like they have a lot of products for sale that are like what you want... but they also appear to be a bit less budget friendly.
  11. Computer Type: Custom GPU: MSi GTX 1060 6GB CPU: Ryzen 2600 Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus x470 Gaming 5 WiFi RAM: Giel 2x8GB ddr4 2600 (I think) Operating System & Version: Windows 10 Home Drivers: Latest for everything (including bios FW) ——————————— I got a Samsung 970 EVO (250GB) today and added it to my existing Windows 10 system. Everything worked for a while, so I decided to start StoreMI. I told it to create a bootable tiered configuration, so it selected my boot HDD (by default), and I selected the 970 as the “fast” drive. I clicked OK to restart, and now I get Startup Repair in every boot. There are only two reasons I can think of: It won’t start correctly since I removed StoreMI from the startup programs list. I installed it before I received the SSD, so I disabled it as a startup item and forgot to reenable it. Maybe this is related to the fact that I have two hard drives? One was my C drive and the other was from my old PC, which was the D drive. Any thoughts? Again, I can get to the startup recovery menus, so I can use CMD.
  12. Hey guys! I have a 2TB HDD that I brought over from my previous PC. It has very little on it now, except for some pictures and videos, and some code. My 1TB Seagate HDD has Windows 10, and all of my programs/games on it. I am considering buying the Samsung 970 EVO (250GB) (MZ-V7E250BW), which will work perfectly with the M.2 slot on my x470 Gaming 5 Wifi. I play GTA and Fortnite, and I do lots of programming. Would I benefit from using StoreMI with my 1TB HDD and the 970 EVO? Thanks.
  13. I didn't know you were insecure about that, sorry. Your grammar is fine. It would seem that you skipped a point, that's all. You also skipped the " and thanks for your time anyway" part, that was not a joke.
  14. No, just your ability to read and comprehend lol. The wink means it was a joke. In all seriousness, the "one order" rule is important for me.
