Hey all!

 

So as the title says, yes, I upgraded my Ryzen 5 2600X to a Ryzen 9 3900X.  Question now becomes . . . What the heck to do with it!

 

Im a tech guy, but i find myself lost in what are some things that are useful to do with this power.  Im currently doing Folding@Home in the spare times to kinda feel the use of my PC, but i have no clue what else to do!

 

Thanks in advance!

well, some suggestions. since you have a cpu that strong, and likely specs to follow, find some games you'd like, watch youtube, or whatever you want. youre only limited by your os if you want cirtain games and are not on windows. currently waiting for a borderlands 3 linux port, but for now folding at home is good.

CPU: 8086k @ 4.00ghz-4.3 boost

PSU: 750 watt psu gold (Corsair rm750)

gpu:axle p106-100 6gbz msi p104-100 @ 1887+150mhz oc gpu clock, 10,012 memory clock*2(sli?) on prime w coffee lake igpu

Mobo: Z390 taichi ultimate

Ram: 2x8gb corsair vengence lpx @3000mhz speed

To utilize the cpu, it not about what to do but what not to do:

 

Simply dont close applications anymore. Run al of it simultainously.

 

Reason: "because you can" :) ( assuming the amount of memory  matches the processor class).

Personally I am the kind of person that goes: sees use for thing ----> buys thing.... I imagine that you  could sure have some fun with blender though, If you would like I could send you a blender file that you could use, and watch it crush your CPU for 3 to 4 days.

In search of the future, new tech, and exploring the universe! All under the cover of anonymity!

so why did you upgrade then?

this is the same as people here posting about that they bought a used server and ask what to do with it.

 

You first have a problem to solve and then you solve it, you now have a solution for a problem you never had.
