Hardware Thread 2020

Hi,
Apex shipped says Wednesday end of day but UPS is usually a lot faster than that if shipped before Friday plus weekend I'd be surprised if it weren't here Tuesday sometime
I usually wouldn't buy a board off newegg "Bad customer support" but these are sealed boxes so I'm taking a chance

Not a bad price either Mike .....I'm still going to hold off on any upgrade for my rig. Not worth it for me right now.

Hi,
Yeah you've already upgraded a couple times recently
Single core performance wise doubt there is any real reason to jump again
Only two cores more is about all there is but new board too for that doesn't sound worth it

Memory though this stuff here is on my radar lol
Oops nope that was supposed to go to a 2x16gb kit what happened :/

G.SKILL Trident Z Royal Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin RGB DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4400 (PC4 35200) Desktop Memory Model F4-4400C18D-16GTRS - Newegg.com

I finally got my replacement motherboard and the computer is working nicely again.

Do these temps look ok (the temperature today is 24c). The new mobo is the Asus Strix x570-E.

Hi,
No idea do a benchmark and see what it does after or was that after doing r20 or something else at cpu 52c package temp which would be pretty good.

Thanks Thrash, I'll do a benchmark later and report back. Which is the best for cpu/mobo testing?

Hi,
R20 is good you can loop it just go to File/ options and enter 300 seconds in it and it will loop for 5 minutes good way to test cooling with a non Prime 95 sort of way

We are running the Asus Tuf Gaming X570 plus wifi in my sons Ryzen 3800x build and it's been a great board for us. No complaints.

I am betting you will love that 3950-x. These AMD CPUs are beasts.
