@Alex Great idea   I wonder if you should add 7000 serie to the title. For some reason zen 4 make me think about 5000 serie. Damn number scheme. 

That's a very good idea, just updated it now and added a ton of tags too haha.

Just bought a X670E Hero board, already got 4x16GB DIMMs of DDR5 waiting - just waiting on the CPU now. Going to try and buy one ASAP so hopefully I don't encounter any stocking issues.

Yes, but EU laws still apply. We got all of the cons of leaving the EU with none of the pros.

Basically Australia

But the UK isn't supposed to be in the EU?

New bolts in my seat, just a bit longer so more threads are engaged in the seat - and the black matches the interior better.

Now I just need to replace some bolts under the bonnet too, but doing this in -5c weather with strangers commenting on my car in the underground parking lot are less than ideal circumstances.

Installed a lite windows 11 os and its windows defender is missing yet present, how to fix?

 

You can download MS Defender via the MS Store

Just because Cyberpunk 2077 is demanding graphically doesn't mean it visually is appealing or good. The textures and poly count on lots of key areas is shockingly low. The lighting is mostly good with RTX, however everything else ranges from decent to "is this from 2004, 2012 or 2022?"

Only 40%? That's less than I thought.

Brand new 2.5L type RA short block and a new IHI VF48 Hi Flow turbo. 

 

Most everyhting else I swapped from the old motor.  Other new parts included pretty much anything that touches oil and can't be easily cleaned, so new oil pump, AVCS solenoids, AVCS gears, and oil cooler.

Nice! Any plans in terms of power or other supporting mods?

Yes for sure. Am still wondering why they stopped using Oled display in VR. Maybe burn in or idk.

We really need better tech!

OLED is the new thing in VR along with pancake lenses. Only issue is the screendoor effect that they bring needs to be mitigated with really high resolutions, and the pancake lenses don't entirely eliminate chromatic aberration artifacts so that's where active eye tracking comes into effect.

This is really exciting for VR actually, as I feel like VR is stuck in a bit of a holding pattern for 'next best display tech' right now.

I want to use this thread as a place to discuss the new Zen4 CPUs from AMD, whether it be non-X, X or X3D CPUs as well as the relating motherboards. As this platform becomes more common and as we get our hands on them, I'll start to document and fill out my experiences with them and all the oddities and nuances that will inevitably come from a new platform like this.

This thread can serve as a place for owners to share their experiences, issues, overclocking, tips, and troubleshooting steps.

The initial announcement for the Zen 4 CPUs:

Zen 4 CPUs as of 2023:

AMD uploaded this video this morning, the 7950X3D and 7900X3D will launch on the 28th of Feb, with the 7800X3D launching later this year on the 6th of April.

Whole heartedly agree. Something I think about everyday.

I need to join the HWbot events, never even knew they happened to be honest. The F@H I generally don't join as I only have a single computer right now that is somewhat okay for it, and my 2500k+GT1030 is basically burning money folding lol

OCN really meant a lot for me as it guided me when I first started to get into technology, computers and the likes. I've made friendships from it that last to this day, but it's barely a husk of what it once was. I really hope that EHW can become even half of what OCN was in its prime - but I know a lot of things are stacked against forums these days.

Does the C63 really have a 700hp 2.0 engine? Must be incredibly powerful for the footprint it takes up.

 

This was Nissan's 3 cylinder race only engine -

Wait until you see how tiny F1 engines are....

Good news for me doubling my HDD size size I can remember,

60GB -> 120GB -> 250GB -> 500GB -> 1TB -> 2TB -> 4TB -> 8TB -> 16TB. Now I just need to wait for the 32TB HDDs to come out

What engine is it based on? I briefly saw it on steam, saw the reviews and closed the page.

Having only used EVGA cards before, well, when they existed. I only stuck to Precision X1/XOC/etc. Is there no alternative as I imagine EVGA won't develop that much going forward for obvious reasons.
