i made a ycruncher sub for the AM5 section with 7500F, grabbing the 7800X3D will gain another 15 seconds so might do that? If anyone else have a 7800X3D feel free to upload

Agreed. It looks sick. I'm jealous. I really love the temperature monitor on the front.

it was really a pain to get it! ordered it from a shop in NL they ordered it in DK, it shipped from SE, i have another one without the LED panel, that one only cost 32 euro so was lucky with that!  the one with panel was 92 euro. They have mesh front panels too but at the time only the closed ones

What forces dare defend this world from the steel talons of the Jade Falcon?!

Sorry... memetic trigger...

swapped a 7700X for the 7800X3D and i have a 7500F to play with, couple of mobo's  Had the AM5 parts laying around for some time now but after Agesa 1.0.0.7 i find it more fun than any other platform to tune. specially RAM. its insane how much better it is vs a month ago

Nice ! ...I really do like the Arctic LF 420, superb results when adjusted for noise - but it was a temporary solution to set up the basics of the new  Giga Aorus 670E Master (2x 24 DDR5 8000 check). Now all the new stuff is getting integrated into the big custom loops --- very complex, especially with an injured hand (getting better though).

 

I finally solved some conundrums in the dual mobo-single case build, so it is functional at least, though not visually cleaned up. The Arctic LF 420 is moving over to a another productivity-centric build to cool a 16C/32T backup machine.

thats gonna be a beast of a system! Did you get the 8000 binned 24GB modules or are you manually tuning to 8000?

IMP Arctic LF 420 is the best AIO

for sure! you need some room in your case though.  the 360mm LF2 is recently surpassed by a couple others including the ekwb nucleus and new phanteks afaik,and the best looking cases are still mid towers imo so no room for 420. I have a  spare 120 LF2 , the little chipset fan gets pretty loud after some years but the cooling is exceptional for 120mil. really strong pump

couple samsung b-die 8gb 

Gigabyte Aorus Radeon RX 6800 Master 16G with temp indicator for 499 , next month the 7700XT will be more expensive and way less powerful. Could be way wrong but... Got it for the looks anyway

...Arctic 420 AIO (3x 140mm) for pre-custom loop 7950X3D built setup work. Afterward, duties for a 3950X back-up system for the Arctic 420. 360 AIO in the background shown re. size difference

 

 

 

After i saw the ExtremeHW review video of the EKWB Nucleus AiO i knew i wanted it, so i scored one as good as new for 159 euro shipped on tweakers.net. I left the RGB lights off, but the 3 fans subtle white. Its a very strong AiO , at the top with Phanteks and Arctic in other reviews as well so cant wait to get some bclk OC and Cinebench rolling. Oh and the Taichi Lite just runs DDR5-8000 at first startup very easy so pretty stoked for that too 

i will have a Ryzen 5 3300X 4 core CPU this weekend, jolly good

got the all black version of the Lancool 216 and probably will be using a EKWB Nucleus 360 with it

So I tried y-cruncher and realized my 50 sec time was with the chip boosting to 5125MHz, and there's a 5008MHz limitation. I could probably do PBO +50 and stay under the limitation (remember I have an X3D so no ratio control), but I'm pretty sure my time would be above 1 minute. If I submit that, it will raise the average time because currently Flux has a 55 sec sub and Bastiaan has 1 min 3 sec sub.

 

So I'm not doing it as I am pretty sure my sub would be detrimental to the team.

 that is why i sold the 'regular' B650 mobo to get one with a baseclock generator so you can set a multiplier of 50. really annoying i couldnt get a legit score without 'cheating' in benchmate.

i can get a 3300X for 40 euro, ive sold my 2600 for 55 maybe i will get it  its a single CCD ZEN 2 part with 4 cores and 8 threads, i can also use it for the Oldzen ram comp for a DDR4 OC record

i think if we for instance have 5 subs only the 4 best will count? I have a 7800X3D for a pyprime, will be up soon. And a 5700G for pi2.5b

Meshify 2 for that price yes please, Here the Lite starts at 140 , the closed Meshify 2 starting at 150.  Ive only had a Fractal Design once years ago it was very low quality and plastic window etc.

I do like Phanteks but their budget cases look virtually the same as the high end and i already have 2 Phanteks. The problem with mine is i have 2 Grey colored ones and after only a few years the paint is completely dull , like smeared out finger stains and i cannot wash it of.

The Lian Li Lancool 216 ... hmm still not 100% sure but it does have all the features and its 100 euro for the black version with or without rgb. 

mobo: B650E Taichi Lite E-ATX with regular straight 24 pin connector, so cases like 4000D with wire cutouts, the 24p cable doesnt fit 'nicely'

cooling: top mounted 360mm AiO / or if possible (there arent many around a 420 AiO, but thats above my budget.

budget up to 120 euro maybe if it really good a bit more

it comes with 2 160mm fans on front and one 140mm back. I have plenty of fans, both white and black and RGB, still not sure what is best with this case, Full black n white build, full black non RGB or black with RGB. just want it to look decent. I will be using 3 fans on top with very dimmed white light so you can see the board. The board is black. I dont like RGB but i do like white light illuminating the build. Will the White case whit white AiO and black mobo with black and white braided cords look good, or a full black build looks better?

hope you aren't using a 3080/3090/4080/4090, the Focus Plus has issues with ripple transient spikes on those cards. I had to retire mine when I bought my 3080 Ti. 

not planning to use a GPU with over 250W draw, 3060ti, 1080, something like that, RX 7600 8GB main GPU. Will those low end cards be an issue with that PSU for transient spikes?

not planning to use any of those cards, however i have a 3060ti and i will be using it every now and then with that unit...

My brand new Delta 850W Platinum PSU i got a couple months ago is dead. It took a 2TB Kinston NV2 with it im afraid. My B650M Pro RS  and the rest is still good. i just sold the Asrock Pro, now ready to drop 7800X3D in the Taichi! I returned the PSU to Alternate...  thought Delta is an established brand but there are multiple bad reviews the last couple weeks for this particular batch as seen on Tweakers. All bought from same store.

So i got a proper high end unit from a guy on tweakers.net, a ROG Strix 750G, made of of a Seasonic Focus PLUS Gold but with larger heatsink and larger fan. Brand new in box 70 inc shipping full 10y warranty. So i now i have 2 ROG strix items in this PC and you wont even see them

was looking at second hand GPU's to play with.... most of them are old and overpriced, so went ahead got a 8GB Radeon card with a copy of Starfield. Also a 45gram MX-4,  im using sample tubes from EKWB and AiO pasts from thermalright so this can only be an upgrade

i had the GPU less than a day, delta T core - hot spot was 30C+ so returned it. I think i still got the Starfield code though. I do need a GPU and i want something AMD whit 8GB GDDR6, more i dont need. So i got this one for 255 on amazon

None of the B650E Strix boards have it. The X670E-E and X670E-F do. See column W in this spreadsheet:

 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NQHkDEcgDPm34Mns3C93K6SJoBnua-x9O-y_6hv8sPs/edit#gid=513674149

 

The B650E Taichi Lite is in a class of its own. The Gigabyte Aorus B650E boards with external BCLK, including the one you mentioned, are almost impossible to find. Current generation Gigabyte boards in general for both AMD and Intel have been scarce and some have to be imported from Hong Kong or China. I haven't paid any attention to what's been going on with them aside from their recent website and motherboard backdoor security issues, but it's like they're quietly exiting the western market while maintaining the facade of still being a major player.

Was also looking at high end Gigabyte and other manufacturers high end  Z790 boards recently, preferably with 2 DIMM slots. I was very hyped for the Z790 Tachyon, pretty much unobtainable here in Europe as well. So I think you are right Gigabyte leaving the western market quietly. I managed to get a Z690 Tachyon for 299 euro which is also one of the best specced 1700 boards out there. They are selling for 399 now. 

While i was shopping saw this ASUS Rog Strix SQ7 SSD with Phison PS5018-E18 , DRAM cache, 7000/6000 for 54 euro. I think the next one with those specs is a Kinston KC-3000 or higher

That's my dream B650E board if my Asus B650E-F makes any further difficult to resolve VRM chirping noises next time it tries to step down from a heavy load or I change the standard environmental operating conditions of my rig. The Taichi Lite completely embarrasses the B650E-F in every way at the same price point and Asus should be ashamed.

I was looking at the Gigabyte Aorus B650E tachyon with 16 of the 105A powerstages and dual DIMM but couldnt find it in Europe, Then next up the Strix models as they are the cheaper option with bclk generator chip. They look ok, are a bit basic. Would rather get a GENE so i was also looking for that, once had a deal for 300 but then the burning CPU debacle came along and i settled with the cheapest white ASrock and it ran my 7700X with A-die really good.. Then i saw the Taichi Lite at CES and this instantly was my favorite board , the specs, the minimalistic looks, the E-ATX formfactor. I like Asrock too. After that i kinda forgot about it because my Asrock B650M Pro RS with 7700X could do 7800C34 stable and 8000+ in benchmarks and that is pretty much the best you can out of the non 3D models anyway. But now I recently swapped the CPU for a 7800X3D and  cannot get beyond 102.5 bclk, whit 5050 max clock thats a laugh   So a couple days ago I found the Taichi Lite is for sale in Italy and start searching for it and it appears in my webshop Megekko. I discovered on a forum , another tweaker decided to contact Asrock benelux and asked for the release date and the next day Megekko ,which is official retailer gets a box of them and maybe i am the second guy to get one in Benelux.

That board sounds awesome. I hope that clock gen let's you push it.

 

I have been browsing AM5 boards. The good ones are so freaking expensive!

The ones with bclk generator are all very expensive, i think the next cheap option is the Strix B650E-F for around 275, im not evenb 100% sure the lower end strix models DO actually have one. then the B650E AORUS Master, then it get tricky because the GENE for 400 is still extremely tempting for the specs you get. All the other more expensive ASUS boards and Gigabyte boards have bclk gen and are very good looking, but a full specced E-ATX Taichi for just 299 dollar at Newegg mate thats just insane value for any upcoming AM5 CPU
