I may look further into psus. The hx1000 has six pcie and cpu ports. they are shared. the superflower has six pcie and 2 cpu connectors. my 6900xt if i recall has 3 or 4 8pins. so if i want to run another gpu, I will have to give it more thought. At the moment it is not an issue, but when i put my 1070 or 5700xt it might become an issue.

I do like my present corsair hx. it is nearly 10 years old. I may just go with the philosophy of staying with what i know works well.

Heres the deal. I am using a 2012 Corsair HX psu. It is 850w gold rated. But I recently upgraded to a 6900xt and a 5950x. I may want a second lower end gpu, say a gtx 1060 or 1070 running in it at the same time. I would be folding at home with both gpus and or cpu too. This superflower seems to be a legit steal imo. 1000w platinum for 200 bucks. https://www.newegg.com/super-flower-leadex-platinum-se-sf-1000f14mp-v2-1000w/p/1HU-024C-00020?item=9SIAMNPC0F2629 I have had a wide range of psus, including evga p2 and seasonic focus golds. I like seasonic, but the seasonic platinum is about 60 dollars more and out of stock. Is the evga p2 essentially this leadex one? Has anyone here had any issues with this particular psu?

Has Anthony of LTT, reviewed the TV he got with the extreme intel update series? I am seriously considering getting a 2021 PQX and the one video done with LTT is not exactly favorable. But it was a pre production unit on pre production firmware. RTINGs and digitaltrends review are pointing me towards one. I would be coming from a 40inch samsung from 2012. I am interested in best bang for buck in the 1000 - 1500 price range. I would guess it would be an enormous upgrade. RTINGs says it is the best to date hdr watching experience for peak brightness of 3000nits and excellent contrast ratio. I don't game except for runescape. I am only interested in a theater at home. 65+inch and good tv for both dark and bright rooms depening on time of day.

I don't think there is a aida64 fix yet, but I just wanted to let you know I am also having this issue. When utilizing the cpu to a certain point. It disappears alltogether. The CPU in ryzen master shows 70c at 100% utilization. And then CPU diode disappears from aida.

I set llc mode 1 as MSI says mode 1 is the base mode. So far no crashes with handbrake. I will leave it going through encodes while I am at the dentist.

I had it as low as 1.325volts stable besides being not stable in handbrake, with aida64 running for 24 hours and other synthetics running too.

I would have bought a different motherboard, but at the time there werent any other options. I bought this on march 6 at microcenter. There weren't even b350 boards available.

No I haven't I had it set to between 1.325 all the way up to 1.45

Here's the deal, I returned my 1800x crashes no matter the voltage I set in handbrake and is stable with 24 hours of Aida64 stability test. It doesn't crash when gaming or performing synthetic benchmarks. Only in handbrake. The only way to prevent it from crashing is to either handicap it with using one less threads so 15 instead of 16 or leave it at stock. I have been through two different cpus thinking it was a faulty cpu. So my guess is that it is the motherboard. MSI x370 Gaming Pro Carbon. Anyone else having this issue? Crashing while encoding?

You are incorrect. IPC is due to slower clock speeds. Clock for clock the Ryzen lineup R7 that is competes with the 7700k. I did tests with a 7700k and a 1700 clocked at 4.1ghz each. Of course I had to down clock the 7700k a little bit, but it works out. I was getting in margin of error of 5 to 10 fps difference in my testing. So crysis 3 hit 80 fps on average between the two cpus. The 1700 kept a higher minimum though. People are testing a higher clocked cpu the 7700k to a lower clocked ryzen at 3.6ghz or less.

Having a 1700 clocked to 4.1ghz, 7700k at 4.1ghz and a 5820k at 4ghz. I can safely say that the ryzen cpu is on par clock for clock. Now overclocking the 7700k to 5ghz is another story. The 5820k is slighty less so in the games I tested. CSGO was maxed to 200 on all three cpus. Crysis 1 the cpus were pushing aprox 80fps with my gtx 1060. Crysis 3 hit 70 on average between the 1700 and 7700k. The 5820k hit 65 average. I tested BF1 88fps on average between all three. The final game I tested was rainbow six siege and got 82 on average for bother except the 5820k where I got 65 for some reason. I used the same video card ASUS 1060 with 6gb ram, all at 1080p. All overclocked between 4 and 4.1ghz. As I said the 5820k at 4ghz, 7700k lowered from 4.2 to 4.1 and the 1700 from 3.0 to 4.1ghz. Anyways the gripe that the 7700k is faster is only because its higher clocked. Comparing the three at approximately similar clock speeds tell me a different story. I built the 5820k for my brother since he needs it for med school. Strictly the 7700k is my gaming system and the 1700 is my vbox/video encoding machine. So I am just saying Ryzen isn't that different in the margin of error of 2 to 5 fps. I would like to say the 1700 actually had higher minimums then either intel cpu. When people test a higher end card as opposed to a mid range 1080 vs 1060 you will get differing results. A 1060 is good for 1080p gaming so it will utilize the gpu more the 1080 is for 2k and 4k gaming. So in those scenarios it uses my gpu power with 1080p there need the be cpu optimizations.

Do you like the x99 sabertooth?

I am mistaken it isnt post it is getting the the splash screen. It takes 30 seconds to get to the screen that says del to enter bios. Ill record a video of it in about 20minutes and post it here.
