Buy a used 3700x on ebay for $100. Sell the 3600x for $60. Get 4 more threads at for $40. 

Probably best way to go.  Was wondering about 5800x as it's not much more money.

Your motherboard supports the 5700x and 5800x3D. Both are a nice upgrade.

Thanks!

That's what I found too.

Are you considering an upgrade because you HAVE to or want to? I'll let the guys who own AMD CPU's weigh in. The newest AMD CPU I have is an Athlon 64 X2.

Not even sure I want it.  Definitely don't need it as 3600 is filling my needs quite nicely as is. 

I want to try one if these!   Don't need it but it's such a nice little beast with 4x 5mm heatpipes in 90.3x23.7x42.3mm package it's a little beast!  

Currently running B450M Mortar Max (MS7B89) under Ryzen 5 3600 with 32GB DDR4 3600Mhz RAM.  Is it worth swapping CPU to upgrade CPU?  I don't want to spend a lot of money.  Don't know if I should upgrade or keep it as is.  Just wait and see what comes out later this year.  Most demanding software I use right now uses up to 6-8 cores.   

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, 

 

Just out of interest, when you replace the lubricant inside a fan that's become a little tired, what do you guys usually go for ?

 

Thanks, 

E

I use

ZEP 45 AERO

or 

ZEP 45 DUAL FORCE

Best penetrant lubricant I know of.

It's also an excellent penetrating oil with PTFE as primary lubricant as oils vapor off.

It's penetrant unlocks / frees up everything and moves PTFE in so it keeps on lubricating.   

And it has no chlorinated solvent in it.  

I spray some into something like a 14 oz can with cloth over top so I can collect the oils and PTFE in liquid form and put that into a small needle oiler and put a drop into fan.

This kind of setup works great!  A can lasts me many years. 

Too bad it's April fools.  Ever heard of peeps cutting out motor braces and fan in our housing and using housing as 25mm spacer?   Quiets things down a bunch!  

What do we have to do to get reputation points?   

Have you tried your new toys?   How are you using them?

Just noticed this forum!  All I can say is Wow!

Not sure if I should post this here or not.  If not please tell we where to put it. 

Sold my vinyl and tape library along with turntable, Advent 201 cassette decks, Marantz amp & pre-amp but kept Advent 300 receiver / pre-amp/tuner, Sennheiser HD414 headphones (still going strong, but have to replace earpads every 4-5 years).  I was using Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 speakers for home theater / office system until a few months ago when 1/8" stereo jacks have given up.    Got Klipsch ProMedia 5.1'sin 2002 and had amp rebuilt 12-13 years ago.   Really miss that setup.  Have Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 only used a few months from new then stored in closet.  Got them out to use but they are dead for some reason.  Grabbed a set of Phanteks speakers to get by until I figure out what to do.  I'm surprised they sound as good as they do for £15.00 computer speakers. Obviously no base, but didn't expect them to be as good as they are.   

So now I'm looking for a replacement for / or repair of ProMedia 5.1 so we can have decent sound in our home theater (which is also office as it's all in one room).

Nice bit of work you are doing.  

Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to seeing results.

Nice article!

Haven't used AIO/CLC except to test a few. Wasn't impressed by CLCs at all, but AIOs that are not CLC seem okay (marginally). Ran custom loops from beginning .. when we made them with automotive radiators and pond/aquarium pumps up until air coolers went to heatpipes, starting with Thermalright. While I enjoyed water cooling top tier air cooling does a good job (as long as case airflow is done right), and is so much easier to build and maintain.

Only H2O system I'm running is be quiet! Silent Loop 280 (basically a entry level pre-assembled and filled loop with all threaded fittings, copper radiator, fill port, etc.). Found a dead Silent Loop 360 and next time I service that system I plan to either replace 280m with 360mm rad or add 360mm to loop.

Again, nice write-up!

 

I am glad to hear, EHW 2.0 will be bringing some nice improvements

 

As for the tutorial video, it works my end, I did note though that due to spoiler tag behavior, if you click play on YT embed, it will collapse the spoiler, just click on spoiler again and it will expand and the video will be playing

Looking forward to seeing what is changed. I need to spend more time on this version, but so far I'm liking better than most.

True, but that's what consumer marketing is all about these days .. and has been for many, many years. Granted, it's getting worse and worse. If you want to continue this discussion we should probably more it to appropriate forum rather than here in New Members forum.

 

On mobile or desktop is this ? Either way, we are improving this on EHW 2.0

 

For now, please see the guide on multi quoting here :https://extremehw.net/forum/main-forum/200-site-guide-features

On desktop.

Can't seem to get tutorial video to play. Tried with both Chrome & Firefox. Might be something in settings. I'm about to do a clean install (next week or so) and will try again when done. For the most part I'm liking how site works. :thumbs_thumbup:

You seem to know more about it than I do.

Problems are not just lack of knowledge, but lack of conditions and equipment in which proper testing can be done.

 

Oh well, I was just hoping that you'd be the one person that knows something more about airflow vs pressure optimization, etc than what I know and I've been able to find online, well still, I hope that we can learn from each other

I might be able to help. I know of some good fans, and of course some not so good. Airflow is all about preessure differentials. Higher pressure air flows into lower pressure areas. First thing (don't now if you know or not) is fan static pressure rating is how much pressure fan and push into a sealed container at it's full speed. Now to put 1.5mm H2O rating into perspetive, it is about as much difference in pressure as we have on our waist vs on your feet when standing at sea level. 1.5mm H2O rating is almost no pressure at all, and fans need to be spinning relatively fast (1000-1500rm) to achieve 1.5mm H2O of pressure.

 

Hello, taking your background in air cooling as something related to designing fans?

LOL No, nothing that technical.

My knowledge is more the application of airflow. Like how to setup a system so it's airflow supplies cool air to components by creating good case airflow that flows heated air flow out without mixing it (and heating) with cool air coming from intake fans. When done well we can have a nice cool and quiet system.

Welcome !

Thanks mate!

Just tried to quote 2 replys with single reply and couldn't do it. Will report it.

Hello and Welcome!

Thanks!

Thanks! Will do!

Heard about EHW from Enterprise so decided to join. Hoping my background in air cooling can help others.
