I think you’ve actually managed to damage something.

Is Windows fully up to date? What bios are you running? Also are your voltages set to auto or have you adjusted them at all?

People seem to have short memories on here!

How much was Intel asking for a 7960 on release? £1600 + IIRC, 10 core was 900 ish
There 18 core was 2k + i believe, Yet AMD have a 16 core at half that price a people complain.

Regards the latest leak I hope it's true, about time Intel came up with something. Given there shear amount of resources they have at their disposal their answer to AMD should have came years ago.

If they have we will be back to £1.5k 16 core CPUs again and everyone will be happy I guess.

That was 4 years ago mate which is ancient history when it comes to computer hardware.

Anyway, I only care about gaming cpus and the current bang for buck is Intel. What a time to be alive.

I think the Ryzen 1600AF is the best value CPU currently. Though I think Intel will massively shake up the GPU market in Q1.

Don't really understand this, anyone buying new should stay away from first and second gen ryzen if gaming is priority.

8700k was better than both 2000 and 3000 series for games. And that was then.

It’s a simple game of economics. Sure if money isn’t an issue everyone would have a 5950X and RX 6900.

I'm not saying to spend and spend, I'm talking going with what's best for the usage, bit different.

I don't think that most people would do that. I would rather say that there wouldn't be any Ryzen 3 and Ryzen 5 (or low-end celerons, pentiums and athlons), because everyone would want a Ryzen 7 or above.

Even me, I don't want Ryzen 9 5950X and the RX 6900 XT because there is no value in these products.

The 5950X comes with 1-year warranty instead of 3-year warranty that goes with the smaller Ryzen 9 5900X, while the RX 6900 XT is so heavily overclocked that not many power supplies and cases can sustain over the requirement.

So, your saying the 3year warranty written on the box of my 5950x is really a one year warranty and that my power supply can't overclock my 6900xt because it's already heavily overclocked ?
Maybe we should all bow down to your superior knowledge and just sell our kit now then :rolleyes:

Why does everything you write read like a WCCF headline? You know there is a reason people think they are a joke. People don't have any respect for WCCF.

+1 or for him by the looks of things

The 5950X is faster than the 3950X across the board, 10 to 25% faster. https://www.techspot.com/review/2131-amd-ryzen-5950x/

Look, i'm not being funny with you but you're telling me a Zen 3 CPU is slower than a Zen 2 CPU with the same number of cores and you think its a problem with the product rather than with you or your system, what in your mind do you think i think about that?

It’s pebcak imo

Thank you once again for proving you literally know nothing and are just posting utter trash. I honestly don't understand what you gain by repeatedly presenting yourself as an utter idiot.

The problem with Idiot's is much the same as it is with with narcissist's, neither know that they have these conditions and don't accept them even if they did know.

These trolls and idiots will never understand that it doesn't matter what's written on the box, but what's written on the warranty list provided by the retailer. If the retailer gives 1-year warranty, then this is it.

rare · 28 Aug 2021 at 20:25

Pretty sure it does matter what’s written on the box otherwise they would be opening themselves up to some serious legal challenges.

OCUK list the 5950X as having a 3 year warranty. I can’t find any information via AMD themselves that the 5950X is excluded from their 3 year warranty.

Tray CPUs always have 1 year warranty and you can't go to manufacturer, it is different for PIB.

So, it has taken you all day to back up the rubbish you posted earlier.................only to back it up with what is a tray part anyway

Lol. And he says trolls and idiots when he does not understand the difference between retail boxed and tray.
