stop worrying about mobo costs and fix your country, mate

Monitors are a conspiracy. Every single one has some massive glaring tradeoff. Whether it be 1000 dollars for a mini led 32 inch 4k monitor that only has 144hz refresh rate and mediocre response times, or an oled which has better refresh and response BUT you'll replace it in 3 years because of burn in.

What justifies the limited production run?
I could see if they added something expensive and they have to sell the board at that cost or else it wouldn't be profitable
Seems to be tho they want to double dip by giving you some bullshit garnish and charge you as if it's something special.

I do so want to be an "enthusiast" but seems to be enthusiast just means "paypig" rather than actual appreciation of useful features.

What are the best "APU" cases ? I want a small HTPC case for a 8700G so I don't need GPU slot.

>>106393593
Is there something specific on that board I'm missing? Because dual-socket server boards are far from unintended.

>>106393652
It's all just different configurations of the same limited PCIe lanes, some have faster networking, few more USB ports there, some more aluminum armor.
It's uninteresting for how much they are nowadays.

>>106393700
Dual socket boards were never really intended for consumers.

>>106393723
I suppose. Though here I think "unintended" is more a function of the steep price and dual-socket actually sucking for client applications. I doubt there's a clause in EVGA's contract that says they can't make a server board with red and black accents. Board makers definitely did mess about a lot more in the past though, for sure.

>>106393700
>>106393723
It's not an server board, it was an consumer board for desktop Intel CPUs and not server CPUs
https://motherboarddb.com/motherboards/989/Classified%20SR-2/

>>106393883
>steep price
you are funny guy, that board cost was about 600$, and that site even states it price at 400$
meanwhile this PoS >>106393252
costs about 1400$, while having no features other than some zoomer screen, that also breaks regularly and bricks entire MB, you can read about it on MSI forums if you care

>>106393885
Depends on your definition I guess. Yeah it was marketed towards consumers but it has a server chipset and only supports workstation/server CPUs. Kind of like today's pseudo-consumer HEDT platforms.

>>106393926
That's like $900 in today's money but I'm not defending those meme halo boards. Whales gonna whale.

>>106393723
>>106393652
And none of those boards are interesting, none have any interesting features, none of them make me feel that I purchase an flagship, an top tier product. Taichi would be ok if it wouldn't fry the CPUs, and Aorus Xtreme is I guess, acceptable? At least it has two 10g lan ports and is cheaper than Asus and MSI flagships.
>(maybe not available in AM5
It's supposed to come on AM5 too. But several boards you have mentioned are actually inferior to the Intel counterparts with same name. Worse quality, less VRMs, inferior features/accessories.
>>106393544
>What justifies the limited production run?
Nothing! That board is more expansive than workstation boards for TR5, which are much bigger, have 14 PCB layers and are able to handle huge ThreadRipper CPUs and several GPUs at once. And some other "flagship" AM5 boards also have similar prices to the TR5 motherboards.

I was even uploading OC results into national database and taking top 10 places with that CPU.

Then the Prime Z270-A I had 4 sticks of DDR4 from two different 2x8GB kits, that worked together at 3600MHz CL17-19-19-37 1.41V.

I would trust ASUS with my Intel platform over everyone else, then I would get MSI if it had the features, Gigabyte if I had no other choice and never ASRock. I worked in retail around 2006 and that shit was #1 RMT.

Similar thing is happening now with AM5 where at the very least if you buy in now you will have the option to upgrade to a 12 core 1 ccd or 24 core 2 ccd with vcache zen6 cpu next year and now it seems like based on recent leaks possibly even zen 7 16 and 32 core processors a couple years from now.

It means he's underage and doesn't realize that Intel has never kept a socket supported for more than 2 gens. There's a lot of people on /g/ who will convince you to buy a socket based off longevity, but in reality it makes no sense. If you bought a good CPU up front it's going to last you a good 5+ years. By then your motherboard will be dated (not because of the socket), due to the quickly pacing IO increases with PCI, DDR, etc.

>>106395502
>build a whole new system
Yes, once every 7-10 years when normal people upgrade, it's completely fine and expected to build a whole new system.
And even intel LGA1700 is still getting a refresh t his year.

>>106395571
>Intel has never kept a socket supported for more than 2 gens.
Nobody who is sane and not a techtuber is buying new CPU more often than once every 5 years.

>>106395596
As anon said, the platform would already be outdated as a whole. It's like consumer overclocking: when you need to resort to squeezing out pathetic 5-10% of performance out of hardware to cope with modern games and tasks, you're already past due for an upgrade.
>>106395613
I sat in Herman Miller Aeron or whatever and that shit has the plastic bottom and base. I've bought a chink one 6 times cheaper instead. At least it has more metal and upper body support.

how often do people on AMD upgrade their CPUs? It seems to be a lot. On /g/ there's plenty of people that seem to refuse to get off Intel 4th gen

>>106395596
Yes it is normal especially if you keep up with wanting to play the latest slop at high fps to want to upgrade your cpu in 3-5 years. The great value of AM4 and AM5 even is you can start even with a current gen lower end cpu like 9600x and then waitfag till next year or even longer for zen7 and buy a high end with budget you saved up for it. Socket longevity is a great benefit for long term value.

A few months ago I mentioned I have an unopened 8700k, STRIX Z370-E, 64gb DDR4-3000 CL16 RAM, and a Deepcool Castle 240EX, (and a 1000w PSU and a case, but I was gonna hold onto those), and was asking about if it was worth trying to sell them to put the 200-250$ towards new parts, or if I should just build it and just buy a GPU and replace the CPU, mobo, RAM etc whenever it's convenient to.

Someone said they were interested in buying those parts: Is that anon still around?

Wendell seems to be the only one that can keep AM5 Asrock boards alive. I don't have his skills to be able to do that a shame because they have the best price/performance/features (if it doesn't kill the CPU). Even in his latest X870 Nova review the comments has a guy saying his 9800X3D died in it after a month.

>>106395883
It's all people that use Auto Mobo settings when the best practice for years is to do manual? Turning on XMP on am4 would also cause vsoc, vdd, vddq, and other misc voltages to skyrocket when you didnt need it. Just trusting expo default is why peoples latency is awful because they do high trfc and low trefi to make any Ryzen chip boot.

When it comes to X3D I get the point, it's easily the best CPU for gaming and several games benefit greatly from the extra pool of cache on the CPU. TR is its own thing completely too, a shitload of cores and PCIE lanes for real workstation applications. But before X3D yeah I didn't really get it either. Just look at Zen 5 sales. They were all calling it Zen 5% and a disaster launch with terrible sales until the 9800X3D changed everything. Even AMD didn't see it coming. It's a lot on Intel themselves for fucking up 3 gens in a row so badly.

Is there a reason to go with a powerful CPU if you're going to play games in 4K and your work software relies on GPU?

Also, is there a reason to go with a fancy case or should you just get a big cheap one with lots of holes for air?

>>106396742
you'll need a powerful cpu to pair with the GPU
as for a case honestly almost any $90-$150 will get you a top tier one in terms of cooling, unless it's SFF. You can just pick one you like and add what fans you want and setup your fan profiles. More expensive ones are geared towards custom loops,very large AIOs and epenis bragging rights.

As someone who did a lot of memory overclocking back then, I suspected 3d vcache would be a groundbreaking technology when Lisa su demoed that prototype 5900x3d on stage. But they launched the 5800x3d a little too late and it was competing with the 12900ks with ddr5 by the time it was out.

>>106397505
Keep the CPU, board, and memory. Wait for Zen 6 if you want a new CPU.
The biggest upgrade is a video card.

>>106397678
It didn't. 12900KS with ddr5-6400 was still faster at the time. You can make an argument for the 5800x3d's value, but it wasn't the straight win that AMD needed to showcase x3d

>>106397684
He stated increasingly higher vsoc was needed over time which points at an IO die degradation on his specific chip. Two other voltages thats used by the IOD gets overvolted hugely when using expo which are CPU vddp and CPU vddio

revisionist history, the 12900KS beat the 5800X3D only sometimes with the 6400 ram.

You can overclock the CPU & memory, but it's a bit of a chore with all the stability testing.
You can copy Buildzoid's tuned 6000MT/s CL30 timings, but I would set tREFI @ 40959 because this doesn't heat the memory chip too much (without active cooling).
https://youtu.be/RTmbYak_8gE?t=290
If your XMP kit is 30-36-36-76, I'd only change tRAS to 52 and leave the other primaries alone.

Enable XMP, you can leave CPU & memory voltages on [Auto] and copy the Buildzoid tuned timings except for tREFI & tRAS.

>>106397761
Voltage needs current to power the die; ASRock identified loose current values as the cause.
AMD also set stricter CPU voltages since the 7800X3D meltdowns.

>>106397860
Asrock doesn't actually know what's going on since they already said once before that the issue was fixed with 3.20 and they also released that weird video saying the board still works after taking out the debris from the blown up CPU.
Even AMD themselves are still root causing the issue

>>106397884
when I bought 5600x and my mobo usb ports didnt work it took amd 18 months to fix the issue with bios updates

>>106397884
If CPU VDDIO is the cause, AMD didn't thoroughly investigate the previous issue (7800X3D).
They've released multiple AGESA updates that enforced stricter voltages (unless the user enabled LN2/XOC mode).

And your friend/client/catamite can't re-use it either? Honestly if that is the case, for whatever reason, even the RMe is somewhat overkill. Yeah they get a bad rap for cost-cutting but PSU expectations over here are ridiculously high by normie standards. If the build doesn't /need/ ATX3 you could get away with a more midrange unit. OTOH these are commodity components so price is everything; if you're getting the RMe for $80 or whatever you might as well go for it.

Nope. The only people still using those technologies are extreme overclockers chasing #1 3dmark scores and period accurate retro gaymers who want to play old AAA slop
Also the last hardware to support SLI is the 3090/3090ti

>>106399034
Of course not. Am5 CPUs don't even have 32 lanes of pcie

Lesson I learned over the years : always go for n+1.
When people tell you at any moment that you need X graphic card and Y CPU to run games at for example 2k 120 fps, they seem to never factor in :
- poorly optimized games which isn't that rare
- mods, some of them can be quite taxing
- emulation
- not overheating your PC, just because it can doesn't mean it should
If n+1 is too much above your budget, you can do like me and aim for slightly lower, I know for instance that I'm joining the 1080p is enough meme, at least for a 24" monitor. Also while I felt that 120fps was a point of no return I'm starting to question it.

>>106399214
technically AM5 CPUs have 120 lanes of pcie 3.0

>>106399240
By that logic 9800x3d is a 41.6ghz cpu

>>106399252
>>106399240
doesnt RAM use that exact logic

>>106399240
Yeah it's kind of crazy just how much IO bandwidth modern desktop CPUs have. People moan about lane splitting dropping your main slot to x8 but that's still twice the bandwidth of PCIe3x16 (which current-gen cards still struggle to saturate).
I'd actually like to see a more conservative consumer chipset limited to ~B550 standards (20x 4.0 + 16x 3.0) in order to cut costs without sacrificing peripheral features a la A620. For reference that's still overkill for 99% of gaming rigs.

>>106399264
Lanes aren't ram. You can connect two drives to x8 of gen4 lanes for full bandwidth but you can't easily do the same for two drives on x4 gen5 lanes due to the lack of gen5 x2 drives and the need for additional ICs to split the x4 lane into shared bandwidth x8 lanes

>>106399352
That's the real kicker. If I'm paying $300, let alone $1000+, for a board it should be chock full of PLX chips.

Do I understand it right that if potential FPS is above the monitor's refresh rate, you'll get tearing with gsync even if actual FPS is capped way below it?
Also, is gsync somehow supposed to reduce input lag from vsync if you enable both?

Yeah maybe showing my age with that name. Doesn't have to be PLX brand ofc (unless they're the only game in town).

>>106399409
I only had Freesync and gsync compatible monitors, FPS above refresh rate causes tearing, but if you cap your FPS inside your monitor's VRR range (like 42-144) you won't get tearing. Vsync is unnecessary, it only adds some input lag. I think Vsync is recommended with gsync, but only in driver, not ingame. Do no use vsync both in driver AND game, it might cause frame time conflicts.

>>106399465
Well I get tearing with 60FPS@120hz but not with 60FPS@165hz when the potential FPS is above 120 but below 165, which is what led me to believe it also matters. Shit's weird.

>>106399526
If you want to use VRR properly, you must run your monitor on the native refresh rate. Some monitors' VRR function isn't working when the refresh rate is set below their native.

>>106399465
Vsync helps eliminate bottom half screen tearing while using vrr. Vsync doesn't really have a downside if you use the driver version and are several frame below the native (e.g. 140hz on 144hz display)

DONT BUY RC, why do they even fucking off it. and why wouldnt they keep both cable channels even if its RC.

Heard there was also an issue with fullscreen games where it flickers black or something? Have these been fixed and I can just get a cheaper dp 1.4 monitor? Is there any other reason I should get 2.1?

Picrel is chink ATX case made primarily for Turkish market: Zeiron Montreal mesh 4xRGB.
It's 364x185x425mm which is tiny for ATX case. I was looking for a case that can fit ATX and then into my coffee table and this is literally the only one I could find even online. It's even smaller if you remove front panel. Yes the metal is chinkonium thin but it's coated properly and bent in all the right places for rigidity. I stumbled full on into it with my foot last night and it wasn't bent anywhere. Comes with bulged motherboard side panel and simple TG panel. The only downsides are gay-ass fans with 2-pin molex connectors that cannot be un-gayed without replacing them, and that upper MB power connector must be thrown in place before you screw down motherboard. I even think 240MM AIO would fit inside onto upper panel as long as mobo heatsinks aren't ginormous.

0.33L drink can for scale.

This looks like it has the slide-on sheet covers on the sides, which I hate. And the thick plastic cover on the front, which I hate. But that's only a guess.

Yes the panel on motherboard side is slide on with 2 screws. TG panel is screw-on with 4 screws. Front cover is mostly metal mesh in plastic frame, but it is two fingers (about 1") thick. My point was that you can find what you need if you look for it, nowadays chinks make everything.

t. anon who can't afford an OLED

>>106400324
I can burn 1k on them every few years when they burn-in. But the tech is just shit and I'm not supporting it. I rather get an extemely good miniLED and use that until they fix OLEDs.

>>106400348
ur miniled can be okay but will always have orders of magnitudes worse pixel response times

>>106400364
And why would I care about that when it's still more than good enough for the few cs2 games I play every few months?

And so, I will probably build my own case, out of leftover wood and duct tape.

>>106400427
Exactly. It's overkill and mostly a useless benefit.

-i5 is good enough for gaming
-1050TI is good enough for gaming

>Why Gamers DON’T Need More Cores, 6-Cores Still Works Well!

These guys (all using top end CPUs/GPUs at home, got his daughter a 9800X3D and a 5080 and two OLED monitors) will tell you to buy a 6 core CPU lol

Just pair it with your 5090

Is ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PLUS enough for 9950X3D? The premium boards are just too damn expensive. MSI boards also have some bad rep, but maybe I shouldn't trust it.
Help me, anons.

>>106400561
never buy asus
I got msi and its been fine

>>106400542
People who buy a 5090 usually don't buy a 6-core CPU. However a decent 6-core, like a 7600X will run basically anything at high frame rates paired with a middle to top GPU.

>>106400574
> never buy asus
Because..? Don't reply if you're just a brand fanboy pls.

>>106400574
Why not

>>106400593
>>106400592

>>106400592
NTA, but ASUS is the only company that denied me an RMA on a GPU and has awful warranty support, if you do get an ASUS GPU/mobo buy it from microcenter or something with their store warranty

>>106400592
Motherboards are just a dice roll everyone has a bad rep
just look for whatever feature you want at the lowest price. For me that's a 7 seg display and MSI Tomahawk had that at the lowest price. Not a single B850 has a 7 segment display.

I can't believe I'm actually gonna do a 265K build lol

>>106400601
So you're a fanboy after all, great.
>>106400612
Neither company will have any customer support in my country, kek.
>>106400624
Looks like that's what I'll do, thanks, anon.

>>106400630
why
14600k is on sale rn and 265k has no market gap to fit in

>>106400630
>I can't believe I'm actually gonna do a 265K build lol
Why would you do that?

>>106400427
That sounds like one of the situations you DONT want a Ferrari since those short city drives will wreak havoc on the transmission and drivetrain

>>106400496
I imagine a lot of people got burned by "8gb vram is enough" from 2020 to 2023

I'm going to support the Greatest Ally and buy an Arc b580

>>106400729
why
nvidia released the 5060

>>106400671
I do simulation/3D work along with gaming and the only other choices that make sense are the 9950X3D or the 285K and those are too expensive. Threadripper would be most ideal but maybe when they pay me to do it instead of me paying them to learn it.

>>106400630
They're so cheap that it's hard to pass up on if you don't particularly care about gaming
It helps that arrowlake has pretty good IO options too

so close, yet so far
any other fun and exciting benchmarks where you can watch numbers go up on a screen?

>>106400739
The 5060 is more expensive and has 8GB of VRAM with only 8 pcie lanes

>>106400684
See? But just because you'd only go to buy groceries, other people would use it to flex, go on a road trip, enjoy driving etc. If you only browse 4chan, sure, why would you need an OLED? You can do that on the shittiest TN, but people want something good, something new, something awesome! Playing an OLEDs are great, but shitting on it because you can't afford it and make up shit like "burn-in meme" is just pathetic. All of these monitors are already full of protection, pixel shift, dimming. There's just no fucking way it'd burn in, unless you intentionally want it to burn in, running the monitor on 100% brightness with still images, white background.

I've heard that DSC is fixed on rtx5000
Not sure how it is on older GPUs though

>>106400777
I dont think its really worth it to pay many hundreds more extra to go from dp 1.4 to 2.1
the image quality is obviously the same and as you said its about some black screen issue which may or may not happen. First reddit google result has people say its fixed and Ive no personal experience with it.

>>106399485
MB vendors are just so used to doing whatever that they are caught off-guard when chips actually need the right voltage going into the CPU.

>>106400745

okay that's fair. one of the only use-cases that makes sense for these intel chips.

any recommendations? old source games have timedemo mode, that might be fun

>>106400077
most of those dp 2.1 modules arent even full bandwidth and they use dsc also.
I haven't had any flickering on dsc monitors with all the gpus / monitors i've had.
I went from a 4080 to a 5080 with my monitor having a dp 2.1 (13.5 Gbps) connection and nothing changed.

>>106400830
You go ahead, trannies go first after all.

anyone else with a 9800x3d, what kind of negative curve optimizer can you run?

I've been transcoding a lot of videos on my cpu and i've only bothered to try -10 on my new motherboard. (I have -15 in my notes for this cpu).

>xhe bought an OLED knowing it would die within a year and now needs to cope here
KEKAROOOOO

>>106400877
mines crashes at idle anything above -12 all core so what do is -10 all core + curve shaper an additional -10 except for idle and low load.

>>106400854
No, anon. I insist you go first this time.

>>106400888
NTA but try setting "power supply idle control" to "typical current idle"
i've heard it can help for CO stability, it disables some idle power states

>>106400077
With nvidia at least on a multi monitor setup if the resolution changes with DSC enabled on one monitor you get some black flickering for a few seconds. This can happen if you start a game or alt tab. I don't know if this is an issue with amd, a single monitor or only happens in a multi monitor setup when only one has DSC but not the others

>>106400899
Your mother gargling on my cock says you should listen to your superiors. Go first, troon.

>>106400888
I have yet to really try ocing the cpu. I got a motherboard with the external clock generator just so I could try to do something more complex like that.

>>106400905
i want my idle power states though. each core uses 2w at idle. its stable with curve shaper.

>>106400913
I also do a +100mhz oz. if i go higher i get worse scores.

If all you want to see is number go up then any benchmark with statistics. cs2 benchmark, dota2 replay benchmark, ffxiv benchmark, pso2 benchmark, gears of war 5 benchmark, horizon benchmark, cyberpunk benchmark, etc.

you can also run capeframex while doing demoscenes.
