What's your latest purchase?

I think you recommended that case to me in another thread. I’m still not sure if I’m going to get that or a TD500, but I’ll keep that in mind.

Up and running with latest BIOS. 48GB DDR5-8000 CL40 failed memory test. Dropped it back to 7600 CL38 (38-48-48-121) . Stable so far. Need to mess with timings some more for 8000. Possibly CPU IMC not good enough.

Nice!

Small Update for you. After testing the rig I did for my brother in wow? I take back a lot I said about AMD. The only 3D chip I had worked with was the 7950x3d. It appears what was causing the micro stutters in superblooms and raids was the dual CCDs and input lag between them. I will note that there were barely noticeable on the 7950x3D but was still there. Never once happened on my brothers 7800x3D. its a 100% flawless experience. At 4k his FPS is the same as my 13900k and hes only on 6000mhz ram. Im on 7200mhz.

Seems in wow from my experience since both rigs have the Strix Motherboards and the same CPU coolers the performance is identical. Only he uses a LOT less power

Single CCD. No latency penalty and it doesn’t confuse the OS. Hammer it with dual streaming. See how it performs.

Pretty sure this is what was happening. The 7950x3d is weird. I got a in game buddy on the regular 7900x. He doesnt have the mcirostutters and its dual CCD but he also uses Process Lasso when gaming so.

Yeah, using app to direct it to CCD with cache. Problem solved.

Yeah Im going to tell me other friend with the 7950x3d to do just that. Get rid of his microstutters on world boss and other world events

Not only Process Lasso can do it on Ryzen. It can direct processes to P-cores for Intel too.

Choo Choo Charles for my kids and I ended up playing it straight through. Loved it!

Well, finally decided, Performance 1 case and a Liquid Freezer 3 on the way.

The LF III pump head uses an “offset” mounting on am5. If the m.2 heatsink gets in the way of the pump head then reverse the L and R mounting brackets. It will give the pump head a centered placement on the CPU instead of an offset and will no longer interfere with the m.2 heatsink.

I have had to do this on 2 AM5 builds already. See this Video. Its Qd up to the part where he mentions it for a visual so you will get what I am saying.

Hope this helps you.

Yep, was expecting the AMD offset mounting for the LFIII. I did make sure to watch the GN review before picking that one.

I didnt think GmaersNexus covered reversing the brackets due to the m.2 heatsink for most motherboards. Maybe I missed it

Latest purchase. 4090 strix oc, 7800x3d, 32gb 6000 cl 30, 1000W asus loki, 280 rog aio, strix b650-i.

Classis wow era runs real good.

that is an absolute beast of a system you’ve built there.

Warcraft Reforged.

Is what I would say if Blizzard fixed it. Seriously guys, it’s been four years. Add a Legacy Client already, and get rid of those stupid Chromium menus that don’t work for anyone.
