More moneh!

That I'll be learning new stuff for my work

Not much today, I got accepted for a formation which is nice

How do you survive 7 minutes?

Bonjour fellow people from Earth, may I enquire how your day is going?

Hello, What PSU do you have ?

You didn't see anything

Thanks And for the other part Haro answered already, I suppose that 1 Xeon would be half of that which make sense still!

Hello everyone ! So today a colleague brought me some PC parts that I previously selected with the help of some people ( @Herman Mcpootis @TofuHaroto and @BillNyeThecommieSpy) for her son. So here is the build : CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Motherboard: MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX mATX Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Storage: Western Digital Blue 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 4 TB 3.5" 5400RPM (an old drive that I wasn't using anymore) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB OC Case: Fractal Design Focus G Mini MicroATX Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE Bronze V2 550 W 80+ Bronze Building it was straightforward, it took me about 1h to assemble, 30 minutes to install everything and 30 more minutes to shove it in the case . Then I booted it to see if everything was working properly, installed more drivers and did some benchmarks. Do note that it took me about 7 minutes (and I was taking my time) to install the CPU cooler, someone that should not be named (@TofuHaroto ) took like 2h to do it ? The rams are working at XMP and the CPU is boosting properly to 4.2GHz. I didn't overclocked anything as I'm a big noob and don't really know how to properly overclocked an AMD CPU. It's for a 14 years old kid so the difference will be minimum to him. Here are some pictures of the build in progress : Cute little motherboard. Testing if everything works properly before installing it in the case : Quite the anarchy there And the completed build : The cable management was really not fun to do and not very good to be honest. And finally some benchmarks : For comparison, https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/amd-ryzen-5-3600-review,10.html so I think it did pretty well here ! Average temp was 60°C during it with a peak at 90°C. For reference : https://benchmark.unigine.com/leaderboards/superposition/1.x/1080p-medium/single-gpu/page-1 not great not terrible.

Boost clock on Intel is the normal usage of the CPU. Intel =/= AMD The 8700k can go to 5GHz or higher if lucky, but as said before only OP can see it for himself.

There is no such thing as future proofing, especially since Ryzen 4000 are rumoured to be out at the end of this year or so. For the components, better air flow case, better cooler, better ram (probably since it's 3600cl16), better motherboard, similar PSU and very good NVMe SSD.
