If I have an issue with something, I either fix it, replace it, or turn it into something else. Can't turn CAM into anything other than what it is, and fixing it is more work than it's worth.

 

...but it's thoroughly endorsed by JayzTwoCents.  I must be great.  Just like AIDA64 is thoroughly endorsed by Linus for stress testing.

Let's hope that Kingpin makes one  No, but seriously, an LN2 AiO would cost way too much, so if it existed you would be able to get a 7980XE for the same price as a 7900X+ LN2 AiO

Sounds like he needs the good old Phase change cooling!

(If only those existed.)  

they do though. you are just not rich enough to run it.

I don't think you'd be happy with what would happen to your AIO after hitting it with too much LN2.  

Oh cmon now, you're killing my hopes and dreams here. ?

Careful there don't want you to feel let down by silicon lottery  Tough I agree. However price/performance is still a metric I like to consider seriously, if the price is nearly double then unless performance scales near equally it puts me off, also kinda want to own a cpu the size of my fist  

If I decide to get a Ryzen CPU I am probably going to get a 1700X and a Crosshair 6 Hero, so idk. I will see just how much better Skylake-X is vs Ryzen and I will decide

I live by the fact that I ain't taking money with me to the grave, so I might as well enjoy it.  

 

Vaaluuu or how ever the hell you spell that definitely is a secondary or tertiary concern to me.

Yeah, well sometimes Jayz' brain needs fixing. Linus' needs replaced.

Keep an eye out on those new Asus Strix boards. The new B350 Strix one is matching and beating the 6 Hero in some early tests; while costing a nice amount less.

I was going to get a 7900X and a 7740X, but with new of possible high 4's or even 5 GHz with delidding on the 7900X combined with my big loop, I may just get the 7900X.  That's the biggest thing available at launch so I'll have to wait for the 7980XE.  

Well at least you will be later going from 10c to 18c CPU, so it will be huge increase for you

1 hour ago, PCGuy_5960 said:

Yeah, I don't think they will

But the 7740X may be able to do 5.5GHz

5,5GHz seems a bit unrealistic to me.

I'm guessing it will be somehow the same as i7 7700k.

And for other Skylake-X CPUs ... 5GHz for those to 10 cores, and 4,8GHz max for higher core count CPUs. That's just my guess, but I can't wait to see results from members of this forum.

Cinebench scores incoming!

Holy s?t. Time to run off to Vegas and try my luck. ?

[Mr.Dingle]

So what does this mean for Threadripper ? 

 

Im not buying either , probably switching over to a 1600 Ryzen , so just out of curiosity .

I'd deter you from the X there is no need  Crosshair is a great mobo though. The beta BIOS was so useful when Ryzen launched. Got stable beginning of April rather than mid May when the BIOS trickled down to the other boards. Also i'm on AGESA 1006 in the latest beta so I have the expanded RAM compatibility, though that was more just because I could as my RAM is OC'd above rated speed anyway

I agree and would love to throw money at the wall too, however i'm far from the grave, I have a house to pay for and a family to consider so value is an important metric for me.

Agreed with @tom_w141.  No way in hell I'd get a 1700X over a 1700.

I am pretty sure that the 7740X will be a top bin 7700K and because it has more pins than the 7700K, it should be able to clock higher.

But X sounds better. If I was going for Ryzen, I'd buy the 1700X or 1800X, just for the X name. Like 6700 doesn't sound right; 6700K sounds perfect imo. I'm weird like that.

Yeah, but I am the kind of idiot who spends $30 more on his CPU to have an X in the name. (But I'll see, because the 1700 does come with a decent stock cooler )

I'm in the same boat bud.  I have three terrorists  kids of my own and two mortgages.  I feel your pain and joy.  

 

I as well have no intentions on picking out a plot anytime soon.

Damn there are 2 of you in the same thread  Oh well AMD will appreciate the extra profit i guess

I'm still debating honestly. Should I save money and get the 1700X, or go all out performance and stick with my plan for the 7820X. I'm leaning Intel heavily, but there's just a wee bit in me telling me to check out Ryzen more...

I'm in the same boat man, exactly what I am debating right now. lol

You'll end up returning the Ryzen when I crush your benchmark scores.  I can see the competitor in you.

What happens if we don't want to waste our time and screen realistate with software like CAM, don't want to deal with buggy software, like CAM, or we know that some softwares are inaccurate on our systems, like CAM?

Too funny.  I wonder if CAM is glitchy?  

 

I use HWinfo64 myself and it serves me well on all of my rigs.  

 

As far as screen real estate, I don't do enough important shit to justify the screens that I'm using so I might as well stare at PC stats all day.

Your profile Pic and lil bios thingy suggest you are going with Intel  i'd say wait for it to be benched against Ryzen. An entire R7 platform will cost you <$350 whereas the cpu alone will cost you $600 for Intel and we can't say how much those mobo's will be. So you need to seriously consider if spending over 100% more is worth less than 50% gain  Its your money afterall. Lastly if it means Ryzen allows you to get a better GPU then thats going to make far more of a difference for gaming and rendering anyway.
