It's not just you, there's a conspicuous lack of background noise in the area - the kerning is weird, and as (indirectly) pointed out it is strangely offset from the rest. Personally, then I'm looking forward to the memory latency stats on those things. Because surely, if the 4800H practically...

If you are to trust Jim's high trust in a particular source which merely points out things which were already circulating around for a while, except with a "don't get too excited" cover. Then "strictly single-threaded" IPC increases are in the 10-15% realm, perfectly realistic. However, it also...

There's no real max "safe" voltage - as the chips seem to be more prone to current-based degradation rather than voltage based. More voltage obviously means more current, as does more frequency - but the exact current draw depends on the application. Wacky videogames might not draw as much as...

In terms of "CPU frequency" then you're already there as far as the point of diminishing returns goes as little Zen 2 is a very mighty processor that requires a lot of memory oomph to feed it data. If your memory is being poopy about timings, then there's certainly nothing preventing you from...

>3700x all-core 4.5/1.325v Well I'm glad people aren't getting ****ing wood-tier chips unlike me. Now all you need is crank the **** out of your memory and you're good to go. https://forums.thefpsreview.com/threads/zen-2-quest-3733-cl14-15-15-28-1-47v-get.642/#post-10134

Diablo 2 Reforged!1!11

There's still Art in there, it's just a matter of delidding soldered IHSes, sanding dies, direct-die'ing without cracking the dies and all combinations of these funny things and Cooling Solutions that may be applicable. Certainly no Funny Tricks For (Not Actually) Free Money ; -)

If you want to cut your teeth on the Zen 2 pavement, I guess the 3300x isn't terrible. The only issue is that over here, the 3600 is available for only 27% more dollary-doodlies - and I hear that the recent silicon isn't nearly as trash-tier as my release-day 3600. So yes - if you wanna cut...

"Why frequency matters" Why yes, frequency is very important - especially when you hammer it home right before you get a whole bunch of frequency drops from architectural changes! Good strategy!

If you buy into the Overpriced GPU + Overkill CPU combo and ignore what I just said, then you'll deserve what you get, too. There's a reason "most people can't tell the difference between 240 Hz and 144 Hz", and it's not because there isn't one; it's because most games they'll try it in already...

I could RAMble a lot about how the most important thing for high-refresh gaming is not so much about how high your Average FPS is, but how consistent it is - and how much it doesn't drop below your monitor's refreshrate. * special bonus for the quick: you can do this benchmark yourself by...

If this isn't misreporting due to the fact that Zen 3 is likewise "staying" on the TSMC N7 Family (there's a bunch of them that are more or less design-compatible), then I can only see this as a "gee, N7 is yielding super well and our monolithic chips are ****ing killer - why not pump some...

If you're going to be tweaking things in your system, then a 3600 does pretty much as good of a job as a 3600x - unless that changed with recent 3600x chips. You can use the dollars you save from going 3600x->3600 to get the faster memory instead. ; )

It's not about the money, it's about driving people to VR. As while it is firmly in the "not going away" camp, it is also still well within "well, it's such a small market - do we really want to invest into it?" territory. To my knowledge, then the.. shall we say, "important" people over there...

Now you pray that they'll be BAD-die successors, rather than Yet Another High Frequency **** Timings IC :)

I would like to add that this game looks excellent with chunky pixels from Integer Scaling, although setting it up in 1080p requires a custom 960x540 resolution. Once you get it going, it sort of looks like old pre-rendered CG video from the early 2000's - except obviously quite a bit better...

The reason for the choices is that Sammy B has the best (sub)timings of all the DDR4 memory chips by a mile, though I would personally repeat my recommendations from another thread; with a relatively cheap, if more expensive THESE DAYS Patriot Viper Steel kit And a faster Team Group bin that's...

It's indistinguishable from being a much faster Haswell system - ergo; it suffers from no "bizarreties", simply goes faster. And that's a picture of me (not yet zip-tie'ing, but that did happen) putting a fan over my memory sticks because they run a little hot at 1.57v Between the rather...

Besides the Beta Tester period of Zen2, it's been indistinguishable from a simply much faster Haswell system. ****ing around with stupid **** with PCs not included

If you want to dip into the Zen2 platform to get familiar with it, I'd recommend going with a 3600 (they're real cheap these days!) and splurging out on some https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YTKcCJ/patriot-viper-steel-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-4000-memory-pvs416g400c9k...
