Dude, You came soooo close to making my build dreams come ture using your guidance. You found an EPIC CPU and motherboard combo ( at th time) .
i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Kill Trident Z RGB..I took theGskill to heart.
In the end I waited and got very lucky.
Final configuration:
AMD 5800X 8 core CPU
Gigabyte Vision D 550B - This s a beautiful and solid performing board. It cost more than many 570s.
64GB Gskill Royal gold 3800MZ
Samsung 970 EVO M.2 2TB & 1TB both on the MB
3D printed CPU air cooler with Zalman guts and an old Lucas electronics log- This did not fit I am very sad - Using a Be Quiet AIO 240
Sapphire 6800XT Nitro +
two gold-plated SSD 1TB to so with the gold G SKill ram
Zalman Korean market keyboard white made of aviation steel.
Thermaltake level 10 mouse ( white)
Vive Pro VR set-up
OVerclocking: Downloaded 3Dmark on steam and ran time spy after a two hour OC attempt. on January 9th 2021 I landed the 124th spot. Mostly due to no AMD 5800 and 6800s in the wild yet.
On the CPU I consistently sustain 4.5 to 4.7Ghz at reasonable temperatures. Looks like I won the silicon lottery.
Ram is running at 3800mhz with a quick XMP check the box.
Sapphire 6800XT Nitro + saw about 8% increase, I had it higher but I did not like the temps.
Nte I still have USB drop-outs!Happily ever after..
Thanks again for the helping hand.
