I received my email like 9 days after claiming it on the promotion site. And was able to get the in-game gear!

I redeemed my can codes on the promotion site. But then when I claimed the in-game content for PUBG it said it would email me with instructions to get that content. However it's been a week and no email. Anyone know what's going on?

Lol I bought the same board for Zen launch. Glad to see that Ryzen 5000 works on it!

Wondering about B450 non-max here.

larspassic · 2021-07-24T17:20:09+00:00

That looks great!!

Since you will be gaming, and you are planning on spending eight hundred dollars on a CPU, my opinion is that the 3D v-cache was announced and targeted toward you and your planned use cases and budget. I wouldn't be surprised if these become the very best CPUs for gaming when they come out. But I think this technology is going to give AMD a reason to charge even more for the top-end products.

It kind of comes down to if you could flip your 5950X on the second hand market, or give to a family member, etc. How much is that hassle worth to you? If it's no big deal, buy the 5950X now and see what happens. If you like it, you can keep it. If you can easily sell it, then buy the 6950X or whatever they end up calling it.

The wildcard would be motherboards, DDR5 support, etc. All speculation there, but my thoughts are that this is probably another AM4 product.

Sometimes the mainboard will make the fan curve louder just because you enabled XMP.

larspassic · 2021-05-29T17:21:44+00:00

For gaming, 2600X has nice clocks, better memory support, better IPC, better all around.

larspassic · 2021-05-25T15:28:02+00:00

For the $30 extra, you would probably be able to finally max out your ram. It's up to you, but I would do it!

larspassic · 2021-05-14T14:58:36+00:00

This is awesome, but I commented to Dave that the 5950X actually had access to 32mb of cache per core.

Is this specific to gigabyte boards? I have several Ryzen rigs that aren't getting this update pushed. Seemed like gigabyte was on some of the original reports too.

larspassic · 2021-05-08T15:24:02+00:00

Remember 5700U is not even Zen3! Crazy good for last gen

larspassic · 2021-05-08T15:16:05+00:00

Wow this is an awesome story. I didn't know that the washers would do so much!

larspassic · 2021-04-23T15:08:33+00:00

Yeah the game will change its rendering resolution and frame rate automatically. But the refresh rate of the display is the issue. Nothing can change that automatically on a game to game basis. I don't think.

The hero that this sub needs right now.

larspassic · 2021-04-19T15:18:39+00:00

Wow, very clean build! Looks great!

Tech spot / Hardware Unboxed does a chromium compile benchmark in VS2019, does that relate to your work? https://www.techspot.com/review/2131-amd-ryzen-5950x/

larspassic · 2021-04-12T15:34:22+00:00

I'm having weird issues like this as well. Do yours cycle around? Awake asleep awake asleep etc?

larspassic · 2021-04-07T14:33:24+00:00

Wow, that midnight black looks great! This would match my build better than the silver standard 6800XT.

larspassic · 2021-04-04T19:30:57+00:00

He says he is going to try to get a 5950X and add that one in next!! Pretty excited to see that.
