joltx got a reaction from cj09beira in Windows To Blame For Poor AMD ThreadRipper Performance
hm... yes this shows me once again, that Windows just isn't very good. I have moved to Linux for 90% of my work and even gaming, thanks to level1tech. The only real reason for using Windows is when I want to record the occasional video and edit it(video production is not very good on Linux)... That's it.
But I have actual reasons for not liking Windows. The updates are often buggy and unfinished, Microsoft installs Beta software on peoples PCs who get updates manually(such as myself, because I like install updates when I'm ready to actually install them), but the Insider Program is obviously responsible for testing unfinished software, the OS Is buggy and inconsistent, the new settings app is just abysmal oh and the best part is the Windows licenses can only be used a finite amount of times to reactivate Windows after a fresh install. That is just madness. I know this can be mitigated by just tying the License to your MS account. Another thing that makes no sense what so ever is that the Physical Office licenses you find in stores, can not be used to renew an active subscription, rather it can only be used to activate a new Subscription.
So yes I have had my fair share of annoyances with Microsoft and their products.

joltx got a reaction from CerberusFlame99 in I get a Black Screen randomly. Sound cuts out, but pc kinda keeps running?
I rolled back already... still happening... I think I'll RMA the board, cpu and RAM. Something isn't quite right...

Ok, will be done... I'll get back to you if it persists.

joltx got a reaction from Deli in 2700x @ 1.39 Volts. Is it safe?
So technically I could run @ 4.35 as it runs it @ 1.425 volts... But I think I'll stick to the 4.2 GHZ OC... it's fast enough.

joltx reacted to Paradine Sage in Intel core i7 6800k vs 6850k for 1080 SLI
8x8 vs. 16x16 is a marginal difference that really doesn't justify the cost increase.
Where SLI could get to be an issue is if you are also using things like an M.2 drive (uses PCIe lanes) and so on.
Honestly a better reason to go for the 6850k is that it clocks better as a general rule. The 6800's are pretty much just low binned 6850's and tend to take a lot more voltage and cooling to produce the same OC's while also having a lower ceiling.
If you don't intend to push your chip past 4.2 GHz or so and don't actually need 40 PCIe lanes then the 6800k is probably the better buy for you, although I would wait for Ryzen to release (it's only a month or so away) and see what that looks like.
