Yeah I did saw his video, but he did it with a G2200. When the 3rd gen ryzen is available, I am gonna retire my R1600. Don't think its worth much in the 2nd hand market, so I am thinking of Lapping it and do any other crazy stuff with this. ? We can't apply liquid metal on aluminium based surface as it might corrode over time. But after lapping I might put liquid metal on the exposed copper surface with an AIO copper base surface pump. Thanks for this idea ?. But coming back to the main question, just curious whether anyone did this? ?

Nah, not delidding. Its lapping. Its basically sand papering the IHS till you reach the copper layer and I do know that Ryzen cant be delidded... Delidding it basically destroys it except Ryzen G2200 & G2400 which uses paste..?
-
Did anyone tried to lap a Ryzen? Any improvement thermally on your side? Saw Gamers Nexus attempt & thinking of doing this... Tq in advance.

I am getting an average 110fps with the same cpu but paring it with an asus strix b350 mobo , 16gb 3200mhz Ram and a RTX 2070. I have only OC the CPU to 3.7ghz atm. Playing Apex with some settings on Med. With Low setting expect to get a higher avg. With that said at 1080p many YT reviewers said that the limiting factor would be the CPU. Ryzen 1600 has weak IPC if not the entire 1st gen ryzen, 2nd gen ryzen has slightly improved on this but with all the Hype that is going around with 3rd gen ryzen, the best thing to do is to wait for 3rd gen ryzen look at the performance + get yourself a RTX card with 8gb and above. Also if the leaks are true, Ryzen 7 3700X 12c/24t 4.2/5.0ghz should work wonders with plenty of headroom to spare. Just my 2 cents..

I am thinking of reinstalling directx12 but apparently there is no standalone version of dx12 available... and dx12 is only downloadable via windows update... wth...

I am getting constant 72fps on avg with the 2nd story on DX12, with DX 11 I am around 120-144fps... with frame limiter on.
-
Oh dear, Buttery experience with DX11 compared to sickly DX12. WIth DX 11 & OC CPU usage has never peaked to 100%. With DX12 will just crash my game and at times reach 100% CPU usage... ? Do you guys have any issues with DX12?
-
I think your cpu is the strong point. I just did some research at 1080p its cpu bottle neck higher than that is your gpu... I will test my cpu in a while to see this theory holds but it looks true from all I read... I did a fresh install. None of the unusual, RGB softwares, normal drivers, Microsoft office, chrome etc...

Ahhh, Thats monthsss away for me vs you guys in the States... ?

Hopeful as well.

Hmmm?

Monitor: Acer XF240H Kind of suc* not able to RTX ON ? if it turns out to be RT...
-
In contradiction, did notice that I gained a few frames with OC, but could not figure out why on earth stuttering occurs.
-
So the best solution 8C/16T?
-
1080P, all Ray Tracing & DLSS on with Medium graphics settings...
-
I did check my cpu usage when it was at stock was running at 100% most of the time which lead to OC-ing the CPU but kind of forgotten to do this during OC. ?

Yeap, I have the Samsung B die instead of Hynix.

8gb (x2)

Hi Gurus, I got myself a RTX 2070 and pared it with my old AMD Ryzen 1600. Without OCing my CPU I notice that there are micro stuttering in games like BF V and Apex Legends. (more stuttering in BF V vs Apex) With that said I have OC-ed the CPU to 3.75 ghz (max stable), there is noticeable less stuttering. Also did a fresh install of WIN 10 & new mobo , bios , Nvidia, etc... drivers & games installed in SSD. Does this mean that its time to plug in a faster Ryzen? From all the leaks I am tempted to get my hands on a Ryzen 3rd gen with all those news leaks going out there (digesting these with plenty of salt XD). Thanks in advance. Cheers PC Specs: AMD Ryzen 1600 16GB DDR4 G.Skill RGB TridentZ 3200mhz Asus Strix B350-F Gaming Corsair CX750M Samsung Evo 860 SSD 250gb (X2) + WD Blue 1TB (X2)

Interesting... Probably not a good idea to mess around with the pin connector. BTW has anyone tried the NZXT G12? M looking at going the temp reduction way as dildor recommends..

HI, This is my first post in this forum. Got a question... I am wondering whether it's possible to change the existing 6 pin connector of the Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6GB and soldering on a 8 pin connector? Is this advisable? From the looks of the pcb board there are 2 more soldering holes beside the 6 pin which is "sealed" with just normal soldering, which got me thinking of this. Reading the web, reveals that by having a 8 pin, this provides up to 150% more power thus more performance, but I am not sure whether the pcb design of this card could not take the extra power... Any thoughts? Cheers from the other side of the world...
