Queue Position 1, 5600X

[Miganto]

I didn't get any haribo with my 5800x from OCuk or the memory I ordered.
Shame.

I bet shares in Haribo have gone up with all the orders ocuk have put in these last 2 months to fill the orders

My 5600X, with additional Haribo arrived today! Original queue position over 700.

Really? I was early 500s on release day and still nothing? Shambles of a company.

These are readily available from elsewhere as mobo bundles dont know why people are waiting in this joke of a queue

 

[MegaPinches]

Got one from Routine medical procedure for 279.99 other day, plenty coming in now, be RRP everywhere soon.

Thinking of finally moving on from the 6700k Cyberpunk is hitting 80-90% at 4K. Also with the new consoles its time I think.

Would this be a good shout when I can get one? 4K gaming only.

I know the IPC is higher than the 10600k just has two cores less. My only concern is 6 core chip vs 8 core chip in the consoles. I assume this stupid of me to think this way haha as these are newer and more efficient?

Would I be able to keep my RAM or would it need to be faster? I keep seeing things about Ryzen needing fast ram. The last AMD I had was a 6 core Phenom 2.

I think it would be a nice upgrade on your 6700k. Don't worry about it only having 6 cores vs the consoles 8, they are faster and like you say more efficient.

What speed is your RAM? Ideally you want DDR4 3200 or preferably 3600MHz C16, though this is expensive.

Just got the 5600X, does 4.7Ghz at 1.185v. Guess you could I'm satisfied with that.

CPU-Z says 1333 so that's 2666mhz I think? I was always under the impression fast RAM did not really make a difference. Does it actually make a real-world difference on Ryzen then and not just in synthetic benchmarks?

There is a difference yes, faster ram will get you better FPS in the games you play.
Having said that, it will make less of a difference the higher the resolution you play at.

Ok, so I'll take the side off ready. Run P95 for a few minutes, shut down and just pull gently?

Thanks a million, tried this and got 3rd degree burns off the heatsink, Christmas ruined

Can't remember advising you to do this, an ounce of common sense would be advised too.
