    Agreed. Definitely an interesting feature that tackled what really is the biggest bottleneck to any modern system in terms of gaming performance. Will be interesting to see how this takes off. I'm still ok with the fact I went with Gen 3 drives over Gen 4 drives. The cost difference was too much for two 2TB drives to justify it today. Will be interesting to see how long it takes for this to become a mainstream feature game developers utilize.

    More and more that's probably the way to do it. Here we've been waiting for the shoe to drop in terms of the housing pricing bubble popping for over a decade now. So far nothing has caused it to go down be it recessions, COVID, or otherwise. If the bubble is going to pop, I'd really love to know what will cause that. At this rate, probably just have to start looking at rural areas or just a completely different state unless I work out some other plans. EDIT: Oh to make things even worse, the demand far outweighs supply so houses are regularly selling for $50-$100k over list price.

    I'd love to be a home owner, but median house price in this area are like $650k now, which is up about $23% from last year. Heck pieces of crap houses with bars on the windows in the worst areas of town are now in the $400's lol.

    I'm not usually one of those kinds of people.

    Was trying to figure out if I should do W11 or W10 when I finish this build this month-ish. I'm really still hesitant on W11 when stuff like this keeps coming up, but don't feel like doing a completely clean wipe/install if I decide to update a year from now. Sigh. Random stutters is definitely a non-starter.

    Think your Celeron single core beat out my 4.6GHz OC single core 4790k.

    Was wondering when Threadripper would get a refresh. Did Zen 2 Threadripper have 12 and 16 core SKUs too? How would these compare to the 5900X and 5950X respectively? Is it just the additional RAM support and obviously much larger amount of PCI-E lanes?
  8. Sir Beregond
    Yeah I don't know if that was me just having bad luck or not, but I did maintenance one year and noticed it looking kinda weird. It had kinda disintegrated as in all the little pieces of it were breaking apart. Had to "pour" it out. Since then, I just started using the plastic insert instead.
  9. Sir Beregond
    Digging the build. I love gold fittings. As for that case, that's a behemoth!
  10. Sir Beregond
    If that's an EK reservoir, I'd be careful with that black "foam" anti-cyclone thing. After a couple years they always broke apart so these days I opt for the plastic insert instead.

    This possibility has been weighing on me a lot lately. China is after the rare earth elements in Afghanistan now that we are gone, and next is Taiwan.
  12. Sir Beregond
    Makes sense, they are Polish aren't they?

    Knowing a few people myself who are Russian (not from Russia though), I just hope the regular people living in and about areas like the US, UK, etc. are not facing issues due to what Putin is doing. I do feel for the Russian people in that regard. Like they are kinda laying low and are not at all a fan of what's happening. So as an aside, how was that process? I was thinking about doing one of these so I can figure out what all I am instead of just the half Spanish half Welsh I tell everyone when the topic comes up (based on Mom and Dad's sides).

    I am interested in doing an article on the different types of cooling. Admittedly, I am not a writer, however it is a topic I think I could speak to and I would take the time to run through drafts and edits to get the flow right. I will preface that I do not know anything about more exotic types like LN2 or peltier, but having been custom loop cooling for over 10 years now, could definitely cover the topics you listed, E. I'll send a PM your way.
  15. Sir Beregond
    Well said.

    I filled up my gas tank yesterday. It was $4.10 a gallon. The last time I saw 87 above $4 was probably 2008ish.

    This advert is COMPLETED!

    • FOR SALE
    • NEW

    This was purchased from Newegg for $299.99 on 1/27/21. Happy to ship to any of the lower 48 states. Asking for $220 $200 shipped. I'll pay for the ground shipping, we can work out which carrier works best for you. Due to putting PC build on hiatus all of last year, I ended up not using this 5600X and opted to get a 5900X instead. The 5600X was never opened, so remains sealed in box w/ included Wraith Stealth cooler. Storage was in a cool, dry parts closet. EDIT: Dropping price to $200 reflecting new retail pricing I see.

    200.00 USD

    Perfect. I had a feeling that was the case but wasn't entirely sure. Thanks for clearing that up.
  19. Sir Beregond
    UPS marked this "delivered" 90 minutes before actually delivering it. I was starting to try to initiate a replacement when it showed up. I guess it did show up and that's the important part.
  20. Sir Beregond
    Or as my buddy says "its dangerous". His work moved offices and now he can see Micro Center from his window.
  21. Sir Beregond
    @ENTERPRISE - I want to put up my 5600X for sale, but I am confused by this form. When it is asking for the price of the shipping options, is that for if I am asking the buyer to pay shipping? Like put in $20 for the "Shipment value" field if buyer pays, or put in 0 if I am paying as part of the price shipped? (Like if I ask for $220 shipped).
  22. Sir Beregond
    Lol at Redbull Fridge. I like my EK pump/res I have now, but if I look at getting a new unit in the future, will definitely be looking at an Aquacomputer.
  23. Sir Beregond
    I agree with @Avacado. To break it down, I am going to assume Corsair radiators, Corsair pump/res, Corsair blocks, and then probably EK fittings, Cry o' fuel, and ZMT. If not that, then I'd guess EK blocks, Corsair rads and could go either way for tubing, pump, res. All to say, some combo of Corsair and EK. EDIT: I went ahead and looked. LOL.

    The one here in Denver is about 30 minutes from me with no traffic. Probably more like 40-45 mins in typical traffic. Not a place I'd go on the daily, but not too far away that I won't go there if I need to. They've saved my ass on more than one occasion. My only problem with them is where they put the store, they are in a high sales tax area, so it sometimes negates deals vs. just buying online...depending on if the online shop charges tax or not. I've noticed some do, some don't...and then of course shipping.
