Hi everyone! I'm currently upgrading my setup and adding machine which will be primarily used as a server hosting my development environment (developing software, running remote IDEs and hosting databases). Justification of the specs aside, I would love to hear your thoughts on the current state of affairs with DDR5 on AM5 platform. As it stands, it seems that very few vendors produce DDR5 128GB kits dedicated for EXPO, but some can be found. The AMD's limitations for 7950x state the max memory speed constraints as follows: Max Memory Speed 2x1R - DDR5-5200 2x2R - DDR5-5200 4x1R - DDR5-3600 4x2R - DDR5-3600 This suggests that in the best case scenario, I will be able to run a kit of 4x32GB sticks at 3600MT/s. My questions to you are: 1. How do these speeds compare to the kits sold by vendors like Corsair or GSkill who sell them with EXPO profiles clocked as high as 6400MT/s with latencies as low as 28CL? Are these speeds officially supported for the DIMMs provided, but depend on whether the CPU can actually run them (silicon-lottery)? Does that mean that AMD are essentially just covering themselves by saying the official supported speeds are 5200 and 3600MT/s respectively (in the worst case scenario for the CPU)? 2. I'm assuming that purchasing a 2x32GB 6000MT/s is the safest bet compatibility wise, given how fussy the memory controllers are with 4DIMMs (and bearing in mind QVLs rarely testing 4x8GB RAM which I'm guessing is 1R or 2R/DIMM); does that ring true? 3. If I bought 2 separate kits of 2x32GB 6000MT/s RAM, could I run them together at 3600MT/s and perhaps more if overclocked (with the risk of upsetting memory controller)? 4. Are there any news on how this situation might change in the future? Is this issue more dependent on hardware itself, or can we expect BIOS updates / new RAM kits that support 128GB (both 4x32 or 2x64) to come out? Thanks for any help and insights!

Hi folks! I will be getting a GTX1070 in couple of days and after plenty of research I decided to get EVGA's FTW edition. The problem is I am still unsure about the performance I will get and whether or not it is worth to consider other manufacturers such as Zotac and their AMP! EXTREME or say.. Gigabyte's XTREME. My goal is obviously to get the best possible performance for the money and since I will be overclocking I am not sure how much should I relly on 'stock' clocks and manufacturers' overclocks. That said, these are the specs of cards: NVIDIA GTX 1070 Brand Base clock [MHz] Gaming Clock [MHz] Max clock [MHz] Memory Clock [MHz] Power phase design Price [GBP] EVGA FTW Gaming ACX 3.0 1607 1797 1797 ? 8000 10+2 419,99 Gigabyte Windforce OC 1556 1746 1771 8008 6+2 395,99 Gigabyte G1-Gaming 1594 1784 1822 8008 6+2 419,99 Gigabyte Xtreme 1670 1873 1898 8316 10+2 455,78 Asus Strix 8GO 1632 1835 1860 8008 6+1 449,98 Zotac AMP Extreme 1632 1835 1835 8208 8+3 419,99 As you can see Gigabyte's Xtreme has the highest overclocks provided but at the same time is the most expensive option. EVGA's FTW has the same power phase design and do not utilize crazy memory/core clock overclocks, but I believe in effect will be able to get the simmilar results since most 10-series cards can pretty much get +300-500MHz memory OC and quite significant core OC as well. Just to mention Zotac: It's the same price as FTW, with higher factory clocks but worse power phase design which I guess will limit down my OC possibility a bit. Just a last note: I am aware of silicon lottery and the fact that I might get amazing Windforce for less than 400GBP and overclock it way more than Xtreme, but that is unrare. I just want to ask you guys the oppinion on the cards listed (mainly: FTW, Xtreme, AMP Extreme) and your OC/overall product experience. Attached file presents the same table with color-coded performance. Cheers! gpus.xlsx

Hi everyone, I am about to move to Great Britain from Poland (yes, that's in Europe) with my PC build. I am concerned about what should I do to provide proper power to my PSU and other components (monitor etc.), so I thought I could ask here. The vital specs of my current rig: PSU: BeQuiet Straight Power 10 (700W - modular) Power Surge: Brennenstuhl CSL SP4 Hugo! (European plug) [ the notice on the power surge says: ] [ MAXIMUM 3500W ] [ 16A / 230V~ / 50Hz ] The questions I would like to ask are: 1) If I move to GB will it be okay if I use the plug converter (and I do not mean power converter) ONLY on the Power Surge and plug all of my devices (monitor, PC, maybe phone charger) into the power surge with the european plugs? 2) Will the surge protector work with the local (GB) voltage and amperage and protect my rig from unwanted power spikes? 3) What would be the best solution for my case? - to get new power surge and new cables for monitor/PC + separate phone charger - to use the converters on current cables with a new (British) power surge - to use my (european) power surge and convert it's plug to British one. Thanks for all the replies in advance!

Hello again guys, I am currently running ASUS Sabertooth x99 motherboard with 8GB RAM (HyperX-Fury, CL15, 2666MHz, DDR-4) in a one stick (so I could max it out to 64GB total in the far future). The question is, as I would like to upgrade and there are no Kit-of-3 packs of 8-GB sticks, is it worth buying a pack of 2 sticks and running 3 of them all together? My mobo supports quad-channel and I thought that getting 3 sticks to have 4 in total would be the best, but I would have to buy 1 + kit-of2. Now, this is not really economic, since I save 25$+ while buying 2-pack so... There you have it. 1. What should I do? Buy all 3 sticks (to run 4 total) or just a pair of them (3 in total)? 2. Will I benefit much from running quad-channel? 3. Will I lose much from running 3-stick config?

Because more cores results in less or no stuttering issues that can occur even with a high framerates

5820k For gaming will OC on sabertooth like ceazy, its perfect mobo in my oppinion. I can easily get 4.2GHz in Auto tuned settings!

New Motherboard - M.2 SSD Not Recognised!
0wN3r replied to ValkyrieStar's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Did you download drivers for your m.2? Type "how to instal windows on m.2 drive" i n youtube. I remember there was a guy who did a video on that one! He explained all sorts of things including CSM -
did i make a stupid mistake by not getting skylake?
0wN3r replied to gecko_hybrid's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
You've done well, I could have gone for skylake but I got myslef 2011v3 instead, the CPU bending under heavy heatainks- issue would be terrible think to happen, now ypu dont have to worry about it! Also your cpu is perfect for OC so you went for a great one! -
That didn't go well. Advice on new motherboard.
0wN3r replied to betarayjim's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I think you will need to "go get that bullet boyo” since MOSFET ia a part of VRM which is responsible for powering up the cpu (simplified version), the CPU could have overvolted and other bad sounding things could have happened... Try asking in some service if they could use a spare mobo to test it, since you will save the money on cpu. Else, go for the new one -
I went for the Asus Sabertooth x99 but its probably overkill unless you overclock take the MSI any series motherboard, unless you are willing to spend another 400$ on Asus' delux or sabertooth mobo

I cannot believe all the "yeah, 500°C, stop lying kid" replies... Go with 5820k
