  1. Mostly depends on how much patience you have really
  2. If you don't mind sitting on it for awhile you could pull close to 700 out of it but more than likely I'd expect $500ish if sold on craigslist.
  3. So basically think the fx series as a weird variant of hyperthreadding (the extra cores are going to be slower) and your cpu really being a dual core with hyperthreadding while the 8350 being a quad core with hyperthreadding. So basically you get 4 real cores and 4 that are slower which helps a bit in its self but also the 8350 has a higher base clock so it also has that going for it. The cpu is far from amazing but, should be a noticeable upgrade for cheap.
  4. As you scale up in resolutions the cpu has to do less and less and it's more stress on the gpu. However, once a cpu hits a certain point in age it's bottlenecking enough to be noticeable and worth an upgrade. I'd say if you have a decent cooler on the cpu overclock it a bit to help elevate the bottleneck but overall an upgrade will help a lot. Look for a good deal on an 8350 or just start saving for new cpu/motherboard is the best advice I can give
  5. You never turn electronics on when there's the presence of liquid on it as it'll fry it best bet would be to remove it wash it with rubbing alcohol and hope you didn't already kill it.
  6. Like if you want to do it for fun here and their id say go intel you can easily get away with a 7700k and up but if you plan on trying to make a career or money in general off it the extra cores from amd will help a lot with quality and rendering
  7. If you plan on taking streaming seriously get a 2700x or 1700 as the more cores will help a lot but if you plan on taking streaming more casually go intel
  8. See the issue is xfr isn't working properly idk why temps are fine and it has all the voltage it could ever want but for some reason it'll turbo to around 4.3 on single core but the second multicore kicks in it drops to below 4ghz
  9. I enabled it but still can't change clock multiplier in bios without bsod and whenever I stress all cores it just goes to like 4.0ghz
  10. The problem I've had is when I push heavy load on all cores xfr downclocks below 4.0ghz
  11. So I cannot figure this out as I've never had anything like it happen. So I recently upgraded to a 2700x (friend of mine wanted to build a pc so I sold him my 1800x for cheap to help him out with his budget) I never had issues overclocking my 1800x to 4.0ghz but now that I've switched to the 2700x this boards been causing me issues. The cpu will overclock to 4.2ghz 100% stable but I have to do this through the ryzen software because whenever I try to change the multiplier on the bios at all I cannot boot windows and get a bsod. The bios is up to date and everything else seems to be working fine but no matter what I do I cannot overclock the cpu through bios without getting a bsod.
  12. So I have an rx vega 64 and 1800x both of which are heavily overclocked (max they'll go on water) and it seems to me my room might have trouble handling my system at times (it's an old house). So I kind of just want a buffer in between to prevent my system from randomly shutting off at max load. My psu is a corsair AX1500i which is fairly new so that's not the issue.
  13. It would be similar to if you had an m.2 ssd which uses pcie slots it'll work faster than sata 2 but you're also using the cards chipset as an in between the ssd and motherboard so don't cheap out too much on the card and you'll be getting great speeds. You can basically just get a decent used raid card on ebay and it'll do the same thing while allowing the ability to raid hdds if you're interested in that in the future
  14. Intel cpus use an igpu so they use toothpaste for the ihs (not really but might as well be) this is due to the intergrated gpus not being able to handle the soldering process with as well as the cpu portion. Due to this they tend to run 10-20 degrees above what they would run soldered like ryzen cpus.
  15. Vsync will probably solve it as far as a all game/app fix I think in the Nvidia control panel their should be a force vsync option (99.9% of monitors are 60hz so pick that) Wish I could be more specific but don't have any Nvidia gpus atm. As for gsync your best bet would be to buy used most gsync monitors new are in the $300-400 range
  16. Check temps usually if a quad core isn't pinned then the 1070 isn't at peak performance
  17. Doesn't a rx 560 outperform the 1050 in workstation use?
  18. Ah you're right so used to people upgrading from old desktops Hmm now it's a bit more challenging
  19. 8700k 16gb of ram and a quadro P2000 should be enough can also drop to a p1000 or rx 580.
  20. I don't see why it wouldn't work unless the diameter of the tubes between each was absurdly different which I highly doubt all aios use pretty similar lengths and sizes of tubing
  21. I think you're kind of stuck just buying the cablemod one and cutting it to size they usually just sell a length that'll fit the longer ones so no matter what itll fit 99% of them
  22. It's because of mining most of the gpu stocks are all bought up so there's no supply for the demand
