I will give these a shot

And I recognize that [OC isn't garunateed] - but I can't help but wonder if this has anything to do with compatibility. I had an easier time overclocking RAM in a 15 year old computer that was a Dell prebuilt that was using DDR2 memory Understood. I just find it strange that I can't do anything to it at all without it immediately failing post.

Hey guys, I'm not new to computers, but I'm curious as to how much of a difference this will make. Around Christmas I ordered a bunch of new parts to replace my aging and unstable i7 3770/GTX760/16GB DDR3 1600MHz build. I've replaced it with something that's more suitable to my requirements (mostly Virtualization) with some heavy 1080p gaming and recording/rendering. Most of the harder titles I play are CSGO (not hard to run), SCUM, Tom Clancy's The Division 2, A3 (heavily modded I might add) and the newest Call of Duty. The point of the virtualization was to be able to run a full AD environment for pentesting and sysadmin activities. (So currently, 2x 2016 servers, 4x Windows 10 Guests, 2x Windows 7 Guests, 1x KALI 2020.1. Both 2016 servers run with 2 cores each, 1 core for the 10/7 machines, and KALI is assigned 4.) The new build is Ryzen 9 3900X Coolermaster ML360R AIO ASUS Prime X570-P G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB (2x16GB - F4-3200C16D-32GVK) Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super Windforce 3x OC 2x Intel 660p 1TB NVMe 1x Kingston A400 480GB SATA III 1x 2TB WD Blue 7200RPM (Re-Used) 2x 320GB 2.5" Laptop Hard Drives (... don't ask) NZXT 750W Semi-Modular 80+ Gold Corsair Carbide 175R The R9 3900X is a golden chip by all accounts. I've gotten 4.2GHz stable @ 1.1875V All Core. I've gotten that up to 4.4GHz stable @ 1.30V All Core. (I've been trying to hit 4.5GHz All Core, but haven't pushed voltage past 1.325V) Binning stats say that only 6% of 3900X's reach 4.2GHz @ 1.25V. The only problem I've been running into is my RAM overclock. I cannot get a RAM OC into effect, at any OC setting. The sticks default to 2133MHz, 1.2V on the board, and XMP will take it up to 3200MHz CL16 @ 1.35V. But any attempt to tighten timing or even push the speeds a notch higher and it immediately fails POST and resets BIOS to factory defaults. I thought that was weird, so I looked into the QVL again for the part number, and it's not there. I'm guessing I clicked the wrong link during purchasing. I'm guessing that's why I've had so many issues overclocking the kit at all. I would like to get a certified 3600MHz CL16 kit so I can tighten timings, but how much of a difference will I see here? If we're talking about 1-3 FPS on average, I'll abandon the idea. If on the other hand, I'd see a 10+ FPS difference, I'll be a little bit more lenient to getting a new kit to replace my current one and selling the "old" kit to a mate or similar. This is the kit I'm looking at replacing it with: F4-3600C16D-32GVKC which is in ASUS' QVL for the board. Thoughts and ideas? Cheers, Axe

I'm guessing that your TV is 1920x1080 ("1080p" @ 60Hz)? Game debate is saying that the Predicted System Requirements will be a Ryzen 5 1600, 16GB RAM and a GTX 1070. I'll post back in a few hours, with an updated list to reflect RGB. I'm about to head to class followed by my Info Sec lab.

Cyber Punk 2077 hasn't been released yet (to my knowledge at least). However, the E3 Demo System they were using had the following specs: i7 8700k, 32GB DDR4 @ 3000MHz, GTX 1080ti. You won't be able to hit those specs on a $1200CAD budget. Also, inb4 someone rips me a new one for opting a GTX 1070 over an RTX2060.

I've chosen to use a cheaper SSD, as you'll hardly notice the difference between the MX500 and the A400 (It's comparing 1s to .75 seconds. You won't notice unless you're timing it in slow motion). They're both decent for booting Windows and loading some games. Note my use of a high quality PSU. EVGA (and SeaSonic) have amazing support systems for faulty PSU's if one were to occur. They're also rated 100W above yours, and are Gold+, not Bronze+. It's also fully modular, as opposed to semi-modular. Video Editing (even at 1080p) can take a lot of storage space. Trying to play games, record, edit and render to a single drive, a 500GB SSD is not a great idea. 2TB Drive added for games you don't play often, and a place to record/archive videos too. The motherboard is also based on the X470 chipset. Might be overkill. Also has integrated WiFi/Bluetooth and SLI/XFire support if you want to go down that road at some point. Edit: You haven't specified any additional requirements (RGB, Color Scheme etc). Therefore, I haven't included any of that. All prices listed are CAD.

This is going to be a can of worms you really don't want to open. If you're looking for mainstream Linux, I highly recommend you stick to the tried and tested Ubuntu or Mint distro (Debian). I personally use CentOS (RedHat) for my "daily needs", academically at least; Windows 10 for any gaming needs; KALI Linux for Pen Testing, both academically and personally. If you're looking to play video games, you may try using Steam OS? You are able to use a work around to install Debian based applications. (See Reddit.)

I'm guessing either your Search Results are drastically different than mine, or you just didn't read my entire post. The top 5 search results from that link are websites I've visited... (Or, rather ironically, my post on LTT Forums). I've been through Google. Every single supplier I find is designed for Corporate environments. Eg: They mandate 60-120 units MINIMUM. I've also browsed eBay, and even most of the ones on their are all listed for $300ea. (Or, alternatively seem priced reasonably until you looking at the $100 they charge for shipping.)

DDU your device drivers and try reinstalling them Fixed Link

Hello All, Looking for some assistance. I recently got my hands on a few retired Eastlink (ISP) servers. Each server is equipped with the following. CPU: Dual Xeon E5410's (4c/4t @ 2.33GHz Each) RAM: 16GB DDR2 @ 533MHz (Looking to go to 64GB) Motherboard: Intel S5000 PALR Storage: Varies.... I might try and overclock, but haven't fully decided yet. I've found some mods that may allow me to do so. Regardless, I'm in search of DSR850-A Power supplies. I've found a few on various websites, but they all mandate a minimum order of 120.... (Which I understand why, but seriously?!) Link 1. Link 2, Link 3, Link 4, Link 5 At minimum I need two, but depending on price, I may pick of four of them. Nothing around me would carry this type of thing in store. Wondering if you guys know where to pick this kind of PSU up. Thanks!

Go for 3,000MHz RAM, not 400. 0.o

No motherboard?

I don't know how the American version works.... But, when I look at any given item it says explicitly "Expected to arrive after Christmas." (Currently). Busy times aside, it always says "Expected to arrive in X Days" or "Expected on <date>/". The key word is "expected". You wouldn't complain if you got that item a couple days early would you? It's the Postal Service. Once Amazon hands it off to UPS, they can't do anything about it.

Routers, Ethernet ports, Ethernet cables. Yep. So much more behind "upgrading" then just buying a new package.
