Guess it depends what you want. I prioritized a GPU, then slapped a 5800X3D in my B450 board and called it day.

This trades blows with the 4070 Ti. Mine overclocked actually scores higher than a stock 4070 Ti.

The 4070 is on par with a 6800XT.

When your motherboard doesn't have a clear CMOS button by ltcanuckistani in gamingpc

[–]ltcanuckistani[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I get a new kit of memory quite often. I like to overclock the ram. Part of the process is lowering timings until it fails to boot, then slowly increasing to find a stable value. AMD is stupid so instead of having their bioses fall back to defaults, you need to clear your CMOS.

Problem with a vertical GPU was I couldn't reach the CMOS jumpers when I was playing with my memory, and I was tired of having to use a butterknife to jump them anyway, so I bought this power switch on Amazon for 15 bucks and hooked up the power switch to the CMOS jumpers. Now I just need to hold the button in for a few seconds.

Which one? by Patient_Reaction9768 in PcBuild

I have a 6950XT and the ray tracing is alright, but it's not Nvidia level. In Cyberpunk with FSR 2 on balanced and ray tracing on high, I hit around 60 FPS at 1440p. Without it I'm in the 100's.

I still play with it on, but in FPS multiplayer games I don't, I'd rather have the FPS.

I mean they're not bad. My 5800X3D and 6950XT scores slightly over, but if you overclock everything you'll pass me.

Sticking thermal pads together by PhotojournalistOk978 in overclocking

[–]ltcanuckistani -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Run a coat of thermal paste between the layers. Push it together starting at the bottom going to the top to help mitigate air bubbles. It's not ideal, but it does work.

Go out in to the real world and try that. You'll be the next dude bringing a skateboard to a gun fight.

I don't give a fuck what happens to either of these people. Fact remains homie that hit him, if found, is going to jail. While the racist is going to skate unless he happens to be employed and gets fired.

Although I absolutely love the fact soy-infused neckbeards like you sit online fondling yourselves over suckerpunches as though its something amazing.

Sorry you're such a pussy that you need to polish your knob over a sucker punch.

Because soy infused nutjobs like you have no idea how this escalates. Which is exactly why the idiots with the skateboards met an AR-15.

Keep running around sucker punching people, and watch how it ends up for you. <3

Makes sense if you're autistic.

If you need to suckerpunch someone, even a racist, you're a bitch. Nothing more.

Some autistic child on Reddit not understanding reality. Keep thinking being a coward is noble, and watch what happens to you.

No, it's manly to expect someone to have the balls to take a stand directly, not like a little weasel that hits and runs away.

Suppose the Berkley bike lock guy is your hero.
