    It's a nice board, but 85 Euros? Have you considered selling the 4790 and buying a modern Intel/AMD platform instead?

    @GoldenLagHe has confirmed that the software doesn't require SLI. I don't know this particular software, but I know this to be true for other similar applications. It can even run AMD and nVidia GPUs at the same time.

    It depends. His application may or may not be limited by the PCIe throughput. @ldmartinI'd test it with a single card, changing the PCIe speed in UEFI (or putting a card in the PCIe 2.0 slot), and measuring if it would affect performance in your app. It shouldn't be that hard. UPD. Just noticed that you don't have even a single 2070S yet. What card do you have?

    With the 1st gen, most likely you'll have to down-clock after installing 4 sticks (or 2 dual-rank sticks).

    They have sent an email notification that 3950X was available. But, as someone here noted - sold out immediately.

    Why not to sell 7700K and buy a new modern platform instead? A used 7700K is still expensive, for some reason. I believe you could get a new 9600K for the money, or a Ryzen.

    CoffeeMod your LGA1151 board (link in my signature) and install something like i3-8350K there, then OC it. I read emulation requires a few, but fast cores.

    @ZWELINHTET 3 objections at least: The card you've picked is a reference design (bad and noisy cooling). If you want to install a full-cover waterblock on it - then the reference is the best choice. Otherwise, pick Sapphire Nitro, PowerColor Red Devil, Gigabyte 3-fan model, or MSI Gaming X; Water cooling for Zen 2 is not necessary, the heat dissipation of the CPU is considerably lower than 200W, meaning any good air cooler can cool it. The high temps of Zen 2 are due to the small-area 7nm chiplet which can't pass it's heat to the heatspreader fast enough; GPU again, since you're going to use it for production, confirm if your software is better accelerated by OpenCL, CUDA, or even tensor cores of RTX cards? I've read some companies have added the support already.

    Why not 3900/3950X then? Or even wait for a new Threadripper?)
  10. 1van
    @ZWELINHTETBasically, the boards that @Firewrath9 recommended, depending on prices/availability/brand preference. I read Gigabyte made many good X570 boards this time. As far as I know, CAD software eats as much cores/RAM size as you can give it, so I'd either saved some money with 3700X instead of 3800X, or added to 3900X-3950X. 3800X doesn't make much sense.

    If you: Ask this question, and Plan to use the PC for editing, Then the answer is a solid NO, since memory OC is tricky and there is a high chance of using several hours of work because of reboot/BSOD due to an unstable OC. I wouldn't cheap out on a PSU so much, too.

    Get as fast RAM with as tight timings as you can get (but reasonable), e.g. there are nice 4000-4500MHz kits available for good price from Patriot and Team Group. First, even if Zen2 now is limited to about 3600-3800 MHz 1:1 MemCLK:FCLK speeds, it may change with Zen2+ (or how will they call it), which will be AM4, too. And you will be able to use the same memory. Second, you always can run a fast kit at slower speed with tighter timings. Third, price for the good 3600-3800 MHz kits is high already, there is not a big difference to add for a 4000-4500 MHz kit Just IMHO.
  13. 1van
    There are step-by-step guides on this from big channels available on youtube.
  14. 1van
    The kit is good, but nobody can guaranty an OC, especially if you don't know what to do. It is a common trend that nowadays the manufacturers bin their CPUs, and RAM modules better, selling a higher-speed chips as a faster kit for a higher price Samsung B-die has (or used to have) 4000MHz+ potential.

    If you really think you'd tried everything and it didn't help, contact Noctua's support, they will help.
  16. 1van
    Take a picture of the PSU label and post it here. As for the cooler, your fan is probably dying. Any LGA1151-compatible cooler will be enough for i3-7100.

    @aldoggyIt's not a bad board, I'd stay with Intel in this case. However, it is not much of an upgrade from 8350K to 9600K, more like wasting money. Going for 8700K/9700K/9900K (KF) will feel like an upgrade, at least somewhat. What is your GPU/ MEM size/speed, monitor resolution and refresh rate?
  18. 1van
    @aldoggywhat board do you have exactly?
  19. 1van
    Noctua fans can stop even if controlled via PWM, the lowest setting depend on a model and on a particular fan. Does it stop if connected to a 3-pin connector (DC-control)?

    I achsually own a kit of Ripjaws V 3200CL14, so speaking from experience here) Btw, for a 3200CL16 "garbage bin" Corsair LPX is a great choice, if there is a sale/good price. Basically, for 3200CL16 you can buy any DRAM, based on its price and looks. I have a bunch of LPX, too, it is not a bad RAM. The fact that Corsair makes DDR4 5000 MHz sticks in this line kind of confirms it.
  21. 1van
    The sticks you've listed are both not good, not only because of the speed/timings combination, but also that Ripjaws V heatsink is worthless (doesn't touch the chips on the side, and in the middle, runs hot overall), but tallish at the same time (limited cooler compatibility). A few positive things about them is that's G.Skill and they have a built-in thermal sensor. For Zen 2 I'd recommend Micron E-die (if you are on a budget): https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/ballistix-sport-lt-rot-16gb-ddr4-kit-2x8gb-ram 3000 CL15 or 3200CL16 (AES), it can be manually OC-d to 3600 tight timings. Not 3000CL16, etc. Or something like https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/patriot-viper-steel-16gb-ddr4-kit-2x8gb-ram you could use them as is, or downclock with tighter timing/overclock a bit, if you are lucky. The PSU you've picked is good. 3600 (non-X) and a higher-end board is a better option, since Zen2 prices will fall quite soon. I'd even consider to buy a cheap Zen+ instead and upgrade later (like 2600/2700). Btw, Buildzoid has a great recent video on youtube explaining all about RAM in every price range and size combination, look it up.

    This is right, forgetting the fact that you'll have to remove some (most) of the noise-dampening panels to install more fans. If your case is under the table, with the opened top it will act almost as a speaker enclosure, sending the noise up? What I don't get now is why to ask a question if you seem to be determined and to know the answer already? Good luck, anyway)
  23. 1van
    I still don't get why do you need so many coolers for such a cold system? Why don't leave the top covered completely, and install 2x front intake and 1x rear exhaust only? And 1 fan on the CPU cooler?
  24. 1van
    i9-9900K has a thermal interface limitation of about 200W. I.e. no matter what cooler you install, the CPU die will only be able to pass about 200W to it, due to the thermal interface between the die and the heatspreader. Check Der8auer's videos on youtube for confirmation. If you don't plan to delid the CPU, both your existing AIO or a NH-D15 are fine, no need to change.

    The picture from the motherboard manual in your first post says exactly this? Skylake Non-Z - 2133 MHz, Kaby Lake non-Z - 2400 MHz, Coffee Lake non-Z - 2400 MHz for i3 and below, and 2666 MHz for i5 and higher, IMO.
