Copied this guys settings

Bone Stock. Not sure why it says nvidia graphics device.

Ignore the wires, I been playing around. And yeah I know the exhaust is an intake, I been playing with that too. Course now that I look at the pic that stray wire is a temp sensor I had in front of the rad fans to get my ambient temp. My lick and stick didn't work apparently.

Octo. Course I have no idea how to use the software yet. Been cheating with Fan Control program, but it's not set up very good for water temp control. I'm trying to set water limits from 2-4c and it sure don't like control being that tight lol. Works though. I'll have to get a pic of my current conglomeration.

Hijack away. More info we can spread with each other on 7950x3d being the right decision the better. It does seem like the 4090 is insane and unless you have a 13900ks it's being bottlenecked. Got my new m.2's in. The other part of allllllllll of this is I also bought a new PSU. The only thing I'm lacking now from keeping the 5800x3d (they have got to come up with a wittier name for these damn things) is a waterblock. Another $100 I guess. I really like this system too. It's like the little engine that could hang with the big boys lol. Side note, OCN people told me a month or something ago about aquacomputer controller and yeah that thing is amazing. I hooked it straight into usb 2.0 header and suddenly my $150 board has sensors and everything I could dream of. I have the entire thing curving to water temps now after putting a waterblock on the 3080ti. Just works so amazing. Getting the mora back out will really be a game changer. I can maintain about 7C delta over ambient right now with just the 360. Gonna need it to be tighter in the summer though so hopefully the mora pulls through. I've got 2-D5's so even without them being DDC they should push plenty.

I just read an article that says the 7900x3d will have faster core speeds on the x3d side than the 7950x3d. Makes sense, I doubt they've completely overcome the heat issues 3d has so if there's less cores there's less heat. Really starting to sound like a bummer. Reviews supposedly releasing Feb 27. But it's nice having a non x3d backup plan. 7950x getting pretty cheap lately.

We need a single program, r23 or idc, benchmark billboard for CPU and another universal free program for GPU. A forum only list

The entire point of this is the fact X299 platforms are still very relevant same with 5950X. I want something that will last quite a while so even if its ridiculous to own today, it will work itself out in the long run. You can definitely tell the 5800x3d isn't a 12700k like I previously had......at tasks other than gaming. Not a deal breaker by any means, I love the 5800x3d to death, but maybe I can get the best of both worlds with the 7950x3d and simply keep it for yearrrrs without it ever showing its age. To me stuff is getting way ahead of itself. I game at 1440p/144hz and what I have now easily satisfies that requirement. Just like a vast majority of people used a 1060-6GB for a longggg time, its an amazing little card. Thats my goal....find the diamond in the rough that won't show its age for the longest amount of time. I don't see 5950X becoming obsolete anytime soon so 7950x3d should do even better. And we know amd likes to keep their platforms around a few gens so if for whatever reason it does fall on its face, its not the end of the world. I'm sure at some point might have to upgrade GPU as well but for now it does the task quite well. But yeah, if I figure out its not gonna beat the 5800x3d by much or this or that, i mean its a $700 cpu........and my standards for giving up $700 are pretty damn high. They better be on the floor begging during the release press conference lol

What gets me is the 5800X3D has 96mb L3........so does the X3D side of the 7950X3D. And we know that side of it will also be downclocked rather than running at the advertised 5.7 which will be on the non X3D side. Sooooooo that said, is the damn thing just gonna be the same as a 5800X3D in gaming? On paper it really doesn't look promising other than being a different platform altogether with DDR5 and all. And if the reviews the day before release confirm my suspicion, I'll return everything I bought that day. I can do a hell of a lot more with $700 than buying an underperforming CPU.

Afaik you can't overclock the 7950x3d. Buildzoid has a ddr5 guide that looks promising, hardware unboxed even showed proof. If I can even get one on release.

I don't remember what board I had think X299 tomahawk, the stupid thing came with a dual 8 pin splitter so you only needed 1 8 pin power. It's like uhhhh doesn't this defeat the whole purpose of balancing loads across PSU ports? Didn't make any sense to me.

Returned the 990 for free. Got this.

Did you all see the latest best buy clearance prices? 3090 $700, 3080 $420. I mean sheeeeesh.

You mean tiny11? Saw it was pretty nice but still had defender.

Yeah I'm playing the odds. If it fails I'll warranty it. I don't really store anything on my main computers anymore I just use a networked drive so....basically I've got this drive failing covered haha.

Pretty nice so far. 990 still on its way. Gives samsung time to get their act together.

I got this 2 weeks ago. it was insane. so sick of little sleezers. you guys got some amazing looking food too.

So this will go in my garage on the wall. I need to come up with a board to mount it all to. I'm gonna make the board hook onto the wall or something so I can take it off and build the computer on my kitchen table or something. Monitor cables will go through a hole in the wall into living room where my desk and monitors are. That way I can do whatever I want and noise will never be a concern. If I wanna put deltas on the rads, so be it, I won't be able to hear a thing The theorized specs... 7950X3D ASRock B650E Taichi G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 6400 Samsung 990 Pro M.2 1TB Watercool MO-RA3 360 Core LC Have to score another D5 pump for some more flow assurance. That radiator takes a little bit to shove it all through.

Good video work too. I do listen to most of your alls posts keep em coming.

Yeah I did have to copy theirs and put it all on one sheet and tweak some other things. Interesting how going above and beyond can sometimes be a bad thing. Just wish I knew they did it before I spent all night on it lol.

Found someone else already did what I did, and a lot better. Edited original post.

The hardest thing mine will ever have to do is play GTA. Sometimes fs 2020 and maybe I'll get into another game at some point in my life but I have no plans upgrading my 3080ti anytime soon. The rest of the computer....I'm hoping it lasts a good 5 years +. 5950x is still a legend so I think 7950x3d should do the trick.

You really are a power user lol. I'm sitting here like I will never need more than 1 possibly 2 m2 slots, 1 x16, a sata for my 14tb of stuff. And that's it. I don't even need the 2.5 as my internet is 50mbps and I don't really need a network faster than 1gbps. I'm a loser lol. F5-6400J3239G16GA2-TZ5RK They were on sale yesterday and were on the qvl list. Wanted some 6600 but didn't wanna risk having issues either. I don't know enough about ram compatibility/overclocking to take too many chances. I think everything else in my sig will work with it. Get rid of 5800 and the board. It's gonna be a wall mount so won't be using the case so eatx isn't an issue.

This is my next spreadsheet endeavor. I'll keep you all posted.

I pulled the trigger and got that b650e taichi. They said the b650e aorus master was just as good but didnt have usb 4 and the taichis ridiculous power phases sold me. I also got a 990 pro, hopefully the wear issues are sorted out with the firmware by the time x3d comes out. I have no patience lol. Btw why can't you use a network card or something to get your extra lan? What kinda tabs are you thinking? I'm open to any ideas to make it easier. I started hyperlinking the boards to their websites and might start adding other info. The B650E Aorus Master has all of its M2's linked to the cpu so all of them are 5.0, whereas the Taichi only has 1, the rest are through chipset so only one is capable of 5.0.... info like that would be nice to know.
