Okay, a quick follow up.  I reran Cinebench on this HP All-In-One 19-2014 but without the Open Hardware Monitor running to see if that made a difference.  This time the CPU score was 47 cb,  That's less than the 48 I got with the Open Hardware Monitor running so I'm going to just chalk it up to some random variability in something I didn't control.
 
Oh, in case anybody is interested, the CPU benchmark took more than 14 minutes to run on this thing.
 
That's one pass.
 
14 minutes.
 

 
I won't bother to post a second screen shot.  I mean, what would be the point?
 

 
Anyway, enough of this for now.

It's running 2666 going on your latest pic.

It is slowly getting to the final stage of tube bending.
But befor final assembly I had to test all the lighting

Last time... My BIOS had updated and reset my RAM profile

Woops, sry clicked wrong one , my bad. Have updated, Thanks for pointing that out

Because the font isn't bright nor big enough, duh!

Yep, that will be a solid setup that should last OP for years and he can drop in a Ryzen 3700 or something down the line for more CPU performance later

Can't really argue with this.

Ryzen 5 2600, ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSports ONE, 16GB of 3200MhZ DDR4, AsRock B450 Pro4, 500GB Crucial MX500

The segfault issue only affected early production chips from the first Ryzen generation. Anything bought today won't have that issue. The FMA3 issue was solved with firmware updates, so not only will it not happen with any Ryzen hardware you buy today, it can be fixed on old hardware that is affected.

1364cb average over a few runs.
 
 
 

Updated,
 
 
 
 

ram timings are king  
you should take it apart for him and require it be fixed for him, so you have to test it. 
 

I've done it both ways...never noticed a difference.

Unless i NEED a specific upate for a new game, or i hear of significant performance gains across the board (never happened) i dont bother updating. More often than not it creates more problems than it solves.
 
For example.
Monster Hunter World.
Nvidia released game ready drivers for it, and considering how poorly MHW performs (horrible port), I decide to give the newer drivers a go hoping for better performance.
I went from somthing like 390.77 to 398.82, so rather old to new.
It made things worse so i ended up having to use DDU to downgrave to 398.36 which is what im at now and it has the same performance as my old 390.77. So the whole thing was effectivly a waste of time.
 
if im upgrading drivers, unless theres a specific known reason to do a clean install, i just update. Downgrading obviosly requires a clean install using DDU.
 
The same goes for Windows, i have updates dissabled and only ever update if a i NEED them, since the vast majority of the updates just bloat windows and add data collection, some even make performance worse.

This is my first PC build coming from purely console gaming and most recently the PS4. In all, this build was successful and I learnt a lot through the process as before I had no practical experience. It follows a black and white hardware theme with multi-colour RGB done right. Images bellow.
 
Motherboard 
The BIOS it comes with is the most recent, wow, and it's specs and hardware beats most, if not all of the X470 motherboards I have seen. The overclocking potential is as good as the Carbon card looks. Sensational.
 
PSU 
With such high wattage, a Gold 80+ rating, braided cables and an Eco mode, this PSU performs excellently yet sounds like... well nothing seeing it is yet to spin its fan. Installation was easy as it should be but man is it heavy.
 
CPU 
The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a great multi core CPU that handles tasks with a breeze. I have successfully overclocked the CPU to 4.025 Ghz from 3.4Ghz and it is running stable.
 
CPU Cooler 
Antec's Mercury 360 is a mixed bag. Installation to the CPU isn't what I would call the best and the manual is lacking but in the end I got it massively on sale, everything fits fine and it looks wonderfully, especially with the neon blue fans. However please note the temperature monitoring LED won't leave blue even in stress tests so if yours leaves blue then your CPU is on fire. Put it out.
 
Memory 
This memory kit looks stunning, matching the black and white build. With a simple RGB software, customisation is easy, though if the software is not running in the background the lights on each RAM stick wont sync. I have overclocked the memory to 3200 Mhz.
 
Video Card 
Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB Video Card Gigabyte's 1070 Ti OC edition is superb. I have boosted it in the BIOS and yet the fans barely spin (or don't at all) though there are 3 in case they are needed. The styling is clean and of high quality though the Fan Stop LED is obscured by the power connector unfortunately.
 
Case 
Lian-Li - PC-O11DW ATX Full Tower Case I might as well call it God's gift for top gamers as this is the most beautiful, faultless, unique and high quality piece of craftsmanship I have laid eyes on, PERIOD. Taking it apart is a piece of cake, superb cable management, all glass and metal construction and filters everywhere. I'm in love.
 
Storage 
With a 1tb SSD and a super fast HDD I have plenty of storage. The SSD holds my OS and games and the HDD houses all other content. A pair made in heaven.
 
Operating System 
Windows is Windows. It worked fine and I got it off eBay for cheap.
 
Monitor 
1440p, 75hz, all metal and sleek build DAMN is it good to look at. At 32 inches it really brings games and design work to life utilising top end colours saturation. No dead pixels, just perfection. Its incredibly heavy but to me that just means it's well built.
 
SPEAKERS 
Ignore the price tag as these sound better than my friends £359 sound bar at a fraction of the price. Hefty, quite literally ground shaking bass that even the neighbours could feel and hear. They told me turn it down... >< But hey! Blue LED that responds to the beat! (Wish you could turn it off too)
 
CASE FANS 
The only part of the PC I can hear haha. They are not what you would call quite but this is an overclocking case and isn't supposed to be silent anyway. With an RGB controller to customise everything it shines like a dazzling star, pushing at maximum speed all the time... yh lol.
 
GAMING MOUSE 
All metal with many short keys and adjustable weight, filled with RGB and easy change DPI with braided wiring, this mouse is special cough in the good way.
 
GAMING MAT 
Fate anime series design, let my anime nerdyness leak through.

You need a GPU.
 
Look at Ryzen 2200g and 2400g for onboard graphics.

Awesome effort fella!
 
How about inserting a spring rod?
 
Just need to find the right diameter.
 

i think i am going to be a engineer and buy 4 longer screws and rubber rings to make the window 8mm bigger, the 8mm gap can be used as cooling and extra air. some filter netting around the gaps and done, your own pc solution for a cpu biggy problem.
 

I think the lifespan will be short on the latest offering due to the upcoming 7nm process.
 
So maybe just a get them all out there asap upon launch.

I testet both CPU and GPU for 2 hours under full load and nothing Crashed

Keyboard and mouse
I’ve decided to upgrade mouse and keyboard. Really wanted to get all RGB stuff, but the RGB stuff is not that great if you apply price to performance ratio. It is heavily overpriced if it is not chinese noname stuff.
So the choice I’ve made was - wired corsair k63 keyboard and corsair Harpoon Rgb mouse


I’ve also placed K63 on my kitchen scale
1 kilo of corsair stuff, very impressive, probably the heaviest keyboard I ever had
