I use a 3950x at work and at home. I do a lot of 3D renders out of AutoCad so more cores = less time. I only have 1 PC in the house so it makes sense to have the same set-up as in the office. I have the same keyboard, mouse and monitor so I can work as efficiently at home as I can at my...
Sod it. I've bought one and will plug it in tomorrow.
I've had no issues at all with it to this point but what's the harm?
On a slightly unleated note, I'm excited to start looking out for the next upgrade. I change the CPU when it halves my render times. Since I've been rendering, I've gone...
I got a bit funky with the cooling and built a costom water loop into a 480mm EKWB radiator. The 'case' is a wall mount Thermaltake so it's not enclosed at all. It sometimes gets to 60 C but not a lot higher. That's a good 10 C higher than the 1800x on the same cooling.
I was just browsing this thread and read this. I just swapped out my X-370 MB and 1800x and put in an MSI X-570 PRO-A with a 3950x.
It seems to be running fine. I do CAD renders that utilise all 32 threads at 100%. Temperatures are a little higher than the 1800x but not major. Maximum power...
I didn't think it would be an issue. I assumed they would all be rated for the components they're serving rather than the PSU.
It's a bit of a pain to swap them but I'll do it in the morning.
Sadly, the horse has already bolted. Having done a bit of reseach, I am 100% going to get a decent UPS once I get my system back running. Our electricity supply at work is pretty variable. We keep blowing the big fuses that come into te building and we often lose a phase in the factory. We're...
I've tried different cables, plugs and sockets. The only cables I haven't changed are the ones from the PSU to the components. I'll change those tomorrow.
Thanks for the reply.
I have a few other Ryzen CPUs in the office so my next step might be borrow one of those and see if that works. Would a dead CPU result in the MB appearing totally dead? In the past, on other builds, I've had various RAM, CPU or power issues but there has always been LEDs...
My system:
ASROCK Taichi x370
Ryzen 1800x
32GB Corsair 3000
Samsung PM961 M2 SSD
GTX 970
Thermaltake P5 Case
EKWB Custom water loop
Corsaid Gold 550 PSU
I built this system almost exactly 2 years ago. It has worked without missing a beat since day 1. The only thing I have done is to drain the...
