Remember when round IDE cables showed up? So much easier to work with!

Good, because the EU makes a habit out of fining companies as a means of "taxation" to make up for budget shortfalls. Maybe they'll think twice before their next round of fines...

Why bother asking on the forum then? Seems up you've made up your mind. If you're actually going to buy the new 7700K off Amazon though, you're literally throwing money down the toilet, because a 12100F and a $200 board would be cheaper and...

My Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 arrived today, so I put the order in for my 5950x and it arrives tomorrow. I'll have everything installed by the end of the week.

As someone who does not use their PC for half the stuff you listed but has a 5950X, go for it! It's a great chip. The most I have pushed mine is running VMs, web browsing, music and gaming at the same time... it didn't even miss a beat. Plus...

Well, the leak is somewhat impressive given the timeframe. Had they released a full product in 2001 it would have likely done well since it would have had some impressive graphics and a decent singleplayer campaign that was entirely missing from...

Seems low considering your temp of only 60C... CB20 nets me 11530 on my 5950x (or thereabouts roughly) but my CPU temp will easily hit 75C+ during the run. In CB23 I score around 30200. Also, not familiar with the ASUS bios, but anything AGESA...

For giggles, I messed with PBO a little. PPT at 165, TDC at 120, and EDC at 180 with Boost Clock Override at +200 with Curve Optimizer set to -5 for all cores, I get a CB20 score of 10612. The core speed is around 4000 for all cores I think...

Please contribute more to the forum before soliciting sales

Used some of these to play Unreal Tournament and other 3dfx games over the years. It is hard to maintain different rigs to cover all 3dfx games though. I am kind of loosing some of the early enthusiasm so thinking about finding a new place for...

Your power settings for a 5950X on PBO are REALLY LOW. For comparison, I have posted mine below; I also manually set my temperature limit to 85C (vs. 90C). I sit at about 80C solid all the time when running simulations in my VMs, been doing it...

Tomb Raider 1 so far, the AWE64 Gold works, audio is faint due to poor recording:

I'd quit the job and keep the PC... lol. Work life balance FTW.

Are you sure you won't be using it? 60 hrs a week is a lot but there can still be time for gaming imo, and you might need the relief after a hard days work.

Your power settings seem insane for a 5600X. My 5950X runs at much lower settings. You might want to look at your TDC, EDC and PPT settings and lower them manually. I found I got much better MT and ST scores and performance (plus MUCH lower...

Back in the Socket 939 days I think my DFI Lanparty NF4 board saw around 6 different Athlon chips in it. IIRC ended up last with a Opteron 180. My current X99 went from a new 5820K to a Ebay 5960X that cost £100 after selling the 5820K. Only...

So, I have a 3090 FTW3U now... how much "better" is it in terms of 4K gaming performance? Yeah, I've seen benchmarks and all, but curious from first hand experience. I don't have trouble running anything at 4K with RT right now, but I also have...

Just smart phones eh? EZ PZ.... I keep them until they die or apps I use no longer work reliably. Motorolla Droid X (I replaced the screen and battery once each, this phone lasted me a long time) LG G4 (loved the camera on this one; but the...

It reads whatever I have in the Bios. If I do not open it; the bios remains the default until I open Ryzen Master, at which point Ryzen Master takes priority of OC values. Ryzen Master (AFAIK) does not "write" to the bios beyond what's loaded...
