X299 BBQ

[GreyScreen]

I'm building my first enthusiast-grade pc and want to go on the Asus rampage extreme VI for is functionality and, aesthetics.

My plan is to go with the x7800 or x7820  to hold me over until Intel makes a real x299 CPU  but I'm concerned with the v.r.m overheat issue. is this still a concern with the 7800x & 7820x or is this only an issue with core i9?

less of an issue, and with a high-end board, I think you'll be fine. but it's still something to be aware of, and make sure you have adequate airflow in your case.

1. Do you actually need a system like this?

 

2. Ryzen refresh seems to be pretty insane and will be announced next month, with 12 cores on their AM4 platform and most likely even more cores on TR4. Might want to wait for that.

Thanks. On the topic of airflow. I was thinking of going with a 360 aio and 3 120mm fans set in pull it the top of the h500p to keep the inside of the case clear do you think that combined with the 200mm in the front with be enough? to cool the 7800 or720x clocked between 4.3-4.5 ?

oh yeah definitely

Lul I ask my self this same question every day. I'm striving for 2 things with this build.

First to a great gaming set up (yes I know gaming on a 7800 is a joke )  but remember its a placeholder until the eventual intel refresh.

Secondly to make a strong impression as I embark into modding I have a strong affinity for the Asus Rampage Extreme and have a lot of design ideas centered around this board. that I'm not so eager to let go of.

This board is by far the best thing I've seen and if its X399 counterpart came anywhere close to it we wouldn't be having this conversation but sadly that's not the case.

The H500p has a poor airflow because the front is restricting intakes for the 200mm fans quite a bit.

Thanks man that's a load off my mind

Yes I'm aware of the general consensus provided by Gamers Nexus, however, I'm banking on the cooling provided  via the a.i.o along with central air, and  a moderate overclock to keep things cool until I work up the balls to do a custom water loop at which time the front fans won't matter at all

That's a long time to wait....

Time is a relative, and surely you know that Intel will release in there usually  " hey look at us too" style to keep AMD from running amuck. hopefully this time with cpus worth owning

The Ryzen refresh rumours are just fake news. My buddy just picked up a 7800x from silicon lottery (4.8GHZ), that with latest microcode, a 3200 mesh overclock and tuned ram (3700 MHz DDR4 CL15) smokes all the games he currently plays compared to his old Ryzen R5. The old Techspot/Hardware unbox X299 reviews are garbage.

When AMD goes back to putting all cores on a single die (alleviating the infinity fabric interconnects) is when I'd consider recommending them.

that sounds epic as fuck although personally I'm not confident about delidding and operating without a warranty

Yes fake news, talking about the 12 core r7 variants. The refresh will most likely have a small IPC gain and a bit higher clocks.

You should not have any VRM cooling issues.

Regardless of where you place the AIO, the case still need an intake and exhaust regardless of the ambient temp.
