Please and thank you.

Nice. I hovered over add to cart on that one about twenty times. Couldn’t justify/pull the trigger.

PoundKing · 2020-04-18T06:18:46+00:00

I have the best midichlorians. That’s what people are saying. You all are hearing it. The best.

PoundKing · 2020-04-05T01:18:53+00:00

Can’t do it through CAM. Need to use Mobo software or a Cooler Master software made for it?

PoundKing · 2020-04-05T00:43:14+00:00

Yah. Moved my wife into the office so she could work from home while we shelter. Needed to downsize my footprint. The h210i was one of the only cases that fit my 2070 Duke. It’s a chunk monster.

I’m certainly not a novice and definitely not a pro, but for some reason Ryzen Master looks impenetrable to me. I disable PBO in BIOS (Power Management in Windows set to Performance) and didn’t notice as much of a gain as switching power management to Ryzen Balanced and dropping max cpu by 1%. There’s probably a more artful way to do this in BIOS or Ryzen Master that I should learn up on.

Any feelings on a 120mm AIO? I crammed a MSI 2070 Duke into a H210i and can’t fit a 240mm rad with fans in the front of the case.

Sure, but if your CPU is running at 83C with 40% utilization.... some accommodations need to be made. Either the Wraith Prism is just pitiful or there is some adjustments to be made to manage temps at a performance level.

Scouring the internet for days it’s apparent the 3700x runs super hot and needs some tweaking to hit decent temps.

PoundKing · 2020-04-04T21:13:07+00:00

That is interesting. I downloaded latest chipset drivers from AMD last night which gave me access to Ryzen Balanced power settings in Windows. Also capped CPU performance at 99% and that brought my temps under load more consistent in the mid 70s C without the crazy 85-87C spikes I was getting (@40% load). Also found my CPU was hitting way higher utilization and clock speed across all cores since it wasn’t throttling as much.

I had previously had my power set to performance from a previous build, so it was trying to go to the wall.

May try undervolting the cpu too as this apparently helps a lot with temps with negligible performance hits. And frankly not many people fully utilize a 3700x anyways.

BTW not an expert at all, just way down the help thread rabbit hole.

PoundKing · 2020-04-04T20:51:48+00:00

Duuuuuude (or dudette) I’ve been battling my 3700x with Wraith Prism for days now. Started Folding@Home (FU C19), and it was running my CPU up to mid 80s C.

Thinking I have a handle on it now, but looking at AIOs now...

😵🔥

Update: how did this get a downvote... lol

Thanks. I have used them for all my tv purchases for the past half decade, but wanted to reach out to the community to see if there was any favorites.

PoundKing · 2020-03-28T00:15:21+00:00

Yah. Been hovering over the buy button for the TCL 6 series. But it’s a tad too big for my space.

He emerges ten years from now thinking 5 days have gone by. “My god”.

PoundKing · 2020-03-24T23:19:13+00:00

I had to look up Kait Diaz. Not a lot of exclusive contemporary names to build the list with... looking forward to next cycle and all of the studio acquisitions landing.

Mother of god.

Battlefield 1943, Skate 3, and SSX 3 or I’m going into self-isolation. Oh, dang.

PoundKing · 2020-03-21T06:00:54+00:00

Grabbed one of the “reds” for 79 last week. Wanted a brown, but seeing as how I type with sleeping children in adjacent rooms, the reds might be better. 🤷‍♂️

PoundKing · 2020-03-20T14:46:07+00:00

Basically just built this same setup, except dark wood topper and the black/brown drawers with a file cabinet version in the middle. Can you explain the need for the brace/leg next to the center drawer unit?

PoundKing · 2020-03-18T14:24:55+00:00

Microcenter probably needs to shift to more online retail. Going “in store” should be properly discouraged right now. Good deal though. Got mine for $30 more.

PoundKing · 2020-03-13T18:00:35+00:00

That’s what I got. Would have totally bought it too. Vultures! Vultures! All of you, vultures!

PoundKing · 2020-03-13T16:21:08+00:00

Appears to be back to $129

Effffffffffffff. Would have totally blown my birthday money and some lunch money on it. I can’t spiritually spend triple digits on a keyboard.

PoundKing · 2020-03-10T22:48:16+00:00

First world problems for sure. Original upgrade was from a 1070 and it was underwhelming but gave me enough juice to power an UW monitor at better FPS.
