AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[humbug]

Intel are ****** on the desktop.

I love the way they sold more 2200G's than they sold 9900K's

That must sting...

I find the cpu usage of the 3900 in games quite amusing.

5700XT is working it’s nads off pumping out Division 2 on ultra at 1440p and the 3900 is sitting there chilling and tapping its watch at 7%

Haha indeed. My 1080 is pinned at 100% in most games now. BF5 gives the CPU a good hammering though, see 14 threads >80% constantly.

That is brilliant.

Ah I missed that, I'll go join now. Thanks.
Edit: Can't seem to find it. Must be blind.
Edit 2: Is it the one in the CPU subsection with Gibbos and 8pack recommendation?

Yeah its all in that thread, I have had no issues with the SB fan run it on silent profile and you don't hear it. I have now seen its adjustable too in the motherboard utility program in windows so might adjust it down more and see how it goes.

 

[Troezar]

That is a very 90's thing to do ^^^^

Today we have Spotify, everything is on there...

Lol well it's free and in any format I care to rip Just a one time thing then I can access it locally from my own hardware. High quality, no internet issues to worry about. Is Spotify like Netflix ie lower quality stream than say a Blu-ray disc?

Are OCUK usually really slow at sending confirmation emails?
Ordered at 09:48 this morning and no emails.

 

[Potatowithearsontheside]

I'm glad i bought mine when i did.

Sucks for you

Only a tenner and I saved more than that on the RAM I ordered the othe day. Can't complain really. OCUK were cheapest option for the 3 components that I ordered today. Probably will be on the 5700XT when I order that in due course.

3600 CL14 is better but it will take a good die like B-die. Unfortunately, prices of ram just recently went up. So, even 3200 CL14 is expensive since it is B-die. You'll end up with 3000 or 3200 CL16. O'cing it isn't gonna help much cos of loose timing. Popularity of Ryzen must have raised the prices of DDR4.

You can buy 3200CL16 and make it 3200CL14 tho.

if you subscribe to the overhyped gouge ram - that is the b-die...
micron e-die is nearly just as good and less than half the cost, and can easily get 3200c14 speeds overclocked
not that ram speeds are a big performance determinant for ryzen 3000 anyway...

 

[chrcoluk]

which ram on ocuk's sales are micron e-die?

 

[tamzzy]

which ram on ocuk's sales are micron e-die?

none that are 100% guaranteed afaik.
just get it elsewhere?

it will go up . corsair and gskill have raised their listing 5-7% . others will follow . will make better sense as to why in next few weeks/months . then roll in b550 and BOOM- ITX for yourself !

 

[tamzzy]

it will go up

no doubting that with all that's going on with the world.

then roll in b550 and BOOM- ITX for yourself !

hah. indeed. the upgrade itch is dying to be scratched lol

Well, my moan about the 3700x and X570 not working is over.

The last chance saloon this morning;
Took the board out of the case, no components fitted, and flashed the bios fine.
Weird how it didnt work in the case.
Then fitted the min components needed to use the bios.
Bios updating screen - finally something working
Then got to bios, closed down inserted all components, and got to windows - eventually, had to get used to the components.
Slowly getting used to being back on AMD.
No quality gaming yet, need to clone my hdd first, and check out further settings

Obviously, you're not getting lossless audio from Spotify or probably any other streaming service. That would be a pointless waste of bandwidth.

Awesome news, proving exactly what I was saying yesterday though.

Tidal has a lossless tier.
