Cheap, yes, but also older models? -
InWin F5 Full Tower Case Review Discussion
Sir Beregond replied to Sir Beregond's topic in Review Discussions
It's definitely not immediately obvious, so can't really fault you there. -
Honestly might wait for Zen 6 at this point.

InWin F5 Full Tower Case Review Discussion
Sir Beregond replied to Sir Beregond's topic in Review Discussions
Yeah the main chamber is very roomy, so was otherwise a breeze to build in, besides the bit of a lack (imo) of rear cable management space. -
It's' paying $389 for a 6-core as far as gaming is concerned. It's not as good a deal as you think it is if gaming is your main concern. What kind of uplift are you looking for to be "worth it" I think is the real question here.

InWin F5 Full Tower Case Review Discussion
Sir Beregond replied to Sir Beregond's topic in Review Discussions
Thanks so much @Mr. Fox! I really tried to show everything here and I am happy it came through! If you look closer those first three are different. Those are showing different orientations for the four front panel pieces that can be swapped around. -
This. There are cheaper ways to game on 6 cores. It's the one Zen 4 X3D chip that really makes no logical sense to me. Either got 7800X3d or step up to a 7950X3D, or more realistically just wait a month and see how the Zen 5 chips turn out.

guru3d Ryzen 9000 leak shows 19% IPC gains
Sir Beregond replied to UltraMega's topic in Hardware News
Yeah I very much figure that if you are already on an X3D Zen 4 chip, that there would be very little to no reason to upgrade. Keep in mind the IPC increase claimed is against Zen 4 non-X3D. I suspect the 7800X3D is going to hang right up there with launch Zen 5 just like the 5800X3D did with Launch Zen 4. -
What is with a lot of newer model cars literally puting even climate control in a touchscreen menu. Terrible trend
-
Yeah the BG 44k is what I ran through the gas tank. I am at 135k miles now so probably could use a carbon clean up. Yep, MAF sensor can be removed pretty easily. May try cleaning it and see what happens before I go down the rabbit hole of replacing parts one by one. Oh...how do you like the 2021 Miata? One of these years when I have "fun car" spending money, I would love to get an ND Miata. I really like the looks.
-
For the best. It's an addiction with questionable returns on performance for money spent these days outside some outliers. But I'm still gonna do it. Send Help.
-
I already ran a bottle through. Direct Injection though so not sure it does much of anything anyway. Also usually try to use Top Tier gas. I did notice the stronger gas smell, so something definitely off.
-
I have a check engine light on as well, but its intermittent. P0172 - System Too Rich Bank 1 Sounds like that could be a multitude of things causing that one so this will be fun: https://mazdamanuals.com.au/wsm-secure/WSM/D9G6-1A-21B_Ver17/esicont/srvc/html/id0102h9934300.html Hope its just a MAF or O2 sensor.

Fixed, thanks! -
Definitely interested to see how you like the PTM7950.
-
I'm rather intrigued to see how Arrow Lake turns out with this major shift in architecture / packaging. My biggest concern would be if they continue to insane power draw of the previous gen to achieve said performance, or if they actually end up not only competitive in performance but power / efficiency too.
-
Funny how that sort of thing goes often times.
-
I can't speak for Zen 4, but non-X3D Zen 3 loves tuned memory.
-
Yep exactly. AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database WWW.TECHPOWERUP.COM AMD Navi 21, 2250 MHz, 5120 Cores, 320 TMUs, 128 ROPs, 16384 MB GDDR6, 2000 MHz, 256 bit AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database WWW.TECHPOWERUP.COM AMD Navi 21, 2310 MHz, 5120 Cores, 320 TMUs, 128 ROPs, 16384 MB GDDR6, 2250 MHz, 256 bit Same shader count, but you can see the boost to the base, game, boost clocks, as well as the memory clock on the 6950 XT to 18Gbps up from 16Gbps on the 6900 XT.
-
Yeah I'm content to wait until the Micro Center deals start really going.
-
Same, but these days just don't have the time. Was a total EverQuest junkie in 1999-2004.
-
There's nothing wrong with that. Unless you have a specific BIOS feature that lets you dynamically switch between the two based on load, you pretty much either choose lower all-core OC, or PBO+CO to take advantage of maximum single core boosts.
-
I also decided that I'd prefer a part that has 8-core CCDs for that latency penalty reason. What I don't know yet is which. I really have no use for a 9950X/X3D so my guess is I'll opt for a 9800X3D to replace my 5900X. Also interested to see what Arrow Lake bring, but I have a hunch I'll end up AMD again for the daily rig.
-
Will be interested to see if they do a split-CCD style X3D on the Ryzen 9 SKUs again. I really was not a fan of that. Made the 7900X3D a particularly puzzling part as its functionally worse than a 7800X3D in gaming / loads that make use of the added cache but parks the cores on the 2nd CCD.
