Repost from last thread

Back in 2019, I built my own PC and had a Sabertooth 990fx r-2 as the motherboard. I was foolish enough to buy two 1040ti GPUs which canot both work at once on the motherboard or be connected to each other. I also bought two RAM cards that were incompatible with the motherboard, but I didn't notice until I tried to use stable diffusion and found that I didn't even have 2gb of RAM on my computer.

Anyway, I reckon it's time for an upgrade of the motherboard, hopefully to one which will be able to utilise my RAM cards which have been languishing in the sabertooth for the past half decade and both 1040tis.

One concern I have is sneaky government backdoors built into the hardware, which is why I'm sticking with my relatively old AMD FX cpu. Is this something I need to check out relating to new hardware ie motherboards and GPUs?

With that in mind, what is the best motherboard I can get? I'm looking at CrosshairV Formula Z.

I will have to return my Taichi Carrara as it is not only super ugly, but two of the "marble" panels didn't have a plastic film on them and they are scratched.

Why isn't there a seal or something on the packaging of such expensive hardware? So far I've got my CPU, GPU, Mobo, m.2, cpu cooler, and only the ryzen box had a legit seal where you could tell they thought about it for at least five seconds and the m.2 had regular plastic circles taped on top and bottom. Meanwhile the GPU box didn't have any seals whatsoever, only the bag had a super tacky "QUALIFIED GIGABYTE QUALIFIED" police tape looking tape on it. I had to look up an unboxing video because I couldn't believe that this was it, but it was the same for the guy in the video, he just slipped the boxes open, no seals anywhere and he had the bag "police taped shut" with the 4080S.

I guess they might be saving costs on marketing, but come on, at least do the bare minimum... I don't want to have to worry about whether my new hardware is actually a refurb

>>102144588
No, the efficiency rating is just how accurately the PSU will draw exactly as much as power as you need from the wall. Higher certification means less waste. Any half-decent modern PSU will deliver its rated wattage without an issue.
For a 7800X3D + 4080S, you could most likely get by with a 650w power supply. That being said, 850-1000w is usually not too much more expensive than something in the 700-750w range and will make sure you can upgrade to just about anything in the future

I've been out of the loop on SSD technology. is 3D Nand better than SLC MLC and TLC? QLC being the worst and cheapest. it used to be that SLC was the absolute best you can get, and lasted the longest. but I've been seeing that 3D nand is the latest technology and gives you the best of both worlds (cheap/longevity). so does that mean no SSD is made with the SLC MLC TLC and QLC order anymore?
>>
>>102144907
I'm trying to. i built a workstation that i use for 3D rendering and animation. i has a 3060 GPU, but the graphics card doesn't seem to be as compatible with old games as my 1080 Ti was. so i'm throwing a new motherboard into my old 3770k PC, and stuffing the 1080 Ti in there, and that will be my gaming computer, since i don't play new games anyway, and a 1080 Ti can run anything old, and most things new. its also my media viewing/data hording rig.

My workstation runs Arch linux, but i want a distro that's good on old hardware like a 3770k that i will almost never have to update, but not LTS debian since that doesn't even come with video drivers.
>>
>>102145361
>so does that mean no SSD is made with the SLC MLC TLC and QLC order anymore?
3D NAND is just stacking more cells on the same die area vertically for more more density. better yields, and lower prices. For the acronym flash types SLC is the oldest type that only stored 1 bit per cell, from there manufacturers found they could store more bit states per cell at the cost of longevity and performance.
It goes from oldest/most expensive to newest/cheapest:
SLC > MLC >TLC >QLC
However, for consumers even QLC still has huge amounts of TBW endurance such that it's not a problem and speeds are still functionally the same among all SSD types for low queue depth desktop workloads (that's more governed by the interface and controller) but with better $/TB pricing and capacity.
https://datastorageasean.com/blogs/flash-storage-what-do-slc-mlc-tlc-and-qlc-stand

Also although true native SLC drives are rare and expensive these days, most manufactures have switched to allocating a certain % of the NAND regardless of type to operate in a pseudo-SLC cache state again to make up for the penalty of discussed above.

phantom spirit is like 4-6 degrees better than peerless assassin and only costs like 5 bucks more, you only need 850w psu
>>
>>102145995
If just gaming, 64GB is probs overkill. That said, if you want 64GB, I'd go with a 2x32GB kit. More sticks = more strain on your CPU's memory controller. For example, your kit is rated for 2x16GB @6000, not 4x16GB @6000. If you use two of it, you might not get 6000 without manually adjusting timings.
>>
>>102145995
Good luck running 4 sticks at 6000 MHz.
Not a fan of using two NVMes since cheap boards like yours can't take full advantage of the speed. I have a separate server so maybe it's just a me problem.

I get that. But if you are able to get bigger SATA SSDs for storage then it's better than an NVMe. The speed from an NVMe and SATA when reading isn't really that noticeable, especially on a mid tier SSD.
As for PSU wattage get like a 750. Or if you want to be safer get an 850.

$600 for the 8800XT makes it a 4070 Super (300mm die of N4) with 16gb vram so I believe the $500 pricing.

Are the higher end x3D chips even worth it? Everything beyond the 7800x3D seems to be diminishing returns and doesn’t have an uplift compared to the non-3D variants.

Someone mentioned issues with inter-CCD latency for the 9950x so maybe they just rushed this launch and hopefully taking their time for the x3D refresh

Short answer: no
X3D is only really an advantage for games. Most games don't benefit from more than 6-8 cores.
Productivity software usually doesn't benefit from X3D, and the normal X version is slightly better there, and cheaper.

1000w is fine.

Those efficiency ratings are being phased out in favor of the comptia rating now days.

all it measuring is how efficient the psu is. So if you have 95% efficiency your gpu would use 526w to deliver 500w of power since it is converting AC into DC electricity.

OK first off thanks for the info but also this is why building a PC is just a little bit gay. It's super easy to not possess this knowledge, there's really nothing warning you. Intuitively you'd think it makes sense to populate all of your RAM slots because why have 4 if you're only really supposed to use 2. If you're like average IQ, never built a PC before, just trying to find all the necessary and compatible parts, you're probably going to make at least one significant mistake with a build if left unattended.

-Noctua is overpriced, either get the OP cooler or an Arctic AIO.
-You don't need to buy paste, as good paste comes with most coolers and you won't be pushing that CPU hard enough to justify premium paste.
-Mobo is good.
-No idea why you need 64 GB, but get 6000 sticks that are CL30 or 32.
-Powercolor Hellhound is the best price-performance GRE
-For the price of that case you can get a fishtank one with 5 fans included, such as the Montech King Pro. Not saying you should, just that your case of choice and the extra fans are a waste of money.
-PSU is overkill. 750w is all that's needed. 850 if you want to leave room for GPU upgrades.

that motherboard blows and wont leave you much room for cpu upgrades unless you glue heatsinks to vrms and then they could fall off and damage your gpu

most it could handle reliably out of the box is 5600

>>102148083

I can’t the dubs. 7800x3D is pretty cheap too right now so I might just buy that for now and upgrade later down the road in January if the new vertical cache chips have a significant upgrade. Won’t be doing anything too heavy so I might be able to get away with 8 cores

fort what purpose?

that build is woefully outdated.

I would save a little bit more and get a used 7700x off of reddit instead. If you are gonna make a poverty build get used parts but ensure that you have proof they work before buying. Such as a video of the computer previously working with them or something.

Most of these are from a store that sells used electronics, so in theory they are at least returnable if they don't work.

Anything newer goes up in price by a lot, I don't really need it to be that fast just have a decent amount of RAM. It's an upgrade from a DDR3 system.

turn memory context restore on and try different peripherals and cables

when i first turned this 7800x3d x670e and 2x32 c30 6000 on it wouldnt even POST with HDMI in the motherboard with no gpu. I then tried a gpu with hdmi in both x16 slots and it wouldnt POST then either. I cleared cmos and no change, but then i swapped the hdmi cable for a display port cable and turned the power on and it magically posted and got into bios. With this I installed windows, then swapped it out for hdmi and rebooted and it worked. Then just to hammer it across the finish line I cold rebooted it, and it inexplicably just works now. After that I noticed my POST times were taking like a whole minute to get into bios, so I looked into it and found out about memory context restore

Locally 3600 and 2133 ddr4 are almost at parity in price. Also, if you are not gaming then ram speed does not matter. Build a system around r5500gt for twice cpu speed, half power consumption and same cost. Not good for vidya or AI, but anything else will fly.

your mobo is probably just shit at that aspect, or you don't have memory context restore enabled. HWUB found out that a lot of AM5 boards are generally slow at booting

>>102147472
>what is the lifespan of these LG oled panels ?
Samsung - likely 3 years without burn in if you are careful, with guarantee, more? who knows
LG - who knows, they give 2 years warranty.
The key is not being a retard and know what you are getting it for, there are TVs with 15k horus with zero burn in because dude used it a night and didn't push brightness and ther are tvs with 8k from idiots who played apex on it for those 8k hours non stop for 3 years at high brightness. Hide task bar, use dark theme and keep to 120cd/m2 in SDR and it should be at least 4 years of smooth sailing.

>>102149019
that shit market shouldn't exist. I'd rather companies invested in vapor chamber tower coolers for CPUs, they are difficult to make.

clc will probably die out as systems running the average workload on a consumer level don't require a heavy setup that demands clc, and sure, they never did
but everything is getting too pricey
thing is, AIOs have progressed fine enough that enthusiasts pushing benchmarks can be satisfied with them all at a fraction of the cost now, and normal consumers only need air cooling
