I finished my Ryzen 9 5900X, 128GB, STRIX 570E build the day of your last posting. There is a posting in this forum explaining the need for PSU power to the sockets between the CPU and I/O on the edge of the MOBO. I would find the post and link it but I am celebrating getting COVID version 1 two...

Thanks Markferguson75 for your post, I am having to change my 144 liters. pc "monster build" into twin (his 'n hers) micro or ITX builds hopefully coming in at 14.4 liters each. I want the power and speed without a light show. Heat is problem, but I can compensate other ways if needed. I am in...

Since my last post life has changed fast and always gets in the way of fun. I will use my i5-4570 for 6 months or until it gets boxed up. I am hoping the boxed time is short but could be up to 2 years or longer as we sell 2 properties (one for a 200% loss) and pick up one or two more 1000 miles...

You both nailed it and verified what my research was starting to show. A $30 i5-4570 on a Gigabyte board with 16gb memory will take it's place. I would like to finish the scenario some day, but it would be a waste of time plus I plan on recycling the board soon anyway, Not my expected result...

What is the best same socket cpu upgrade from the Phenom II x4 810? I am running an old Frankensteined Gateway. It is slower than... I have started a new build using the latest better suited AMD or Intel cpu and will finish when they both finally start delivery of real chips not failed and...

Thanks geofelt. Good to know where the Xeon compares. Now I can dismiss the wild hair before it turns into another gray in-grown festering hair. The Arctic 33 is for another build and is sitting on the empty GROne case in it's box and will only be used for the first 2 to 3 months with an eye on...

When running certain genealogy, spread sheet & photo programs simultaneously I plan to over clock mildly. My build in the planning is- i7-9700K or i9-9900K whichever I can get my hands on. Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi), Asus GeForce GTX 1070 or the over clock version (price talks). Down the...

Excerpt from Michael Crider (How to Geek) Higher-quality, more expensive RAM has lower latency, and both this rating and the RAM’s clock speed can be overclocked by enthusiasts. That being said, the differences in latency are so minuscule that unless you’re running industry-level server...

That is what I am trying to understand. From what I can see, the motherboard wants the speed and the cpu will use up to it's specs. Still planning on the Patriot Viper 3200.

You are correct. Back to the Asus scramble. Picking my board @ 1am after getting up at 4:15 am is an obvious unintelligent decision. Thanks for the catch. Too bad Parts Picker and several other guides didn't catch it. Sooo, what about the memory questions?

I am confused: I want to run the fastest memory I can logically afford yet the I7-9700K and hot headed brother i9-9900K spec at 2666GHz. My build is wavering between the two. My proposed build (currently) is: (No longer Asus Maximus Hero Vl thanks to SR-71 Blackbird), Patriot Viper 2x8 3200GHz...

I was second guessing on my motherboard and looked at ASRock Phantom 9 for I heard they were not made in China. That board should also run the tv and I can use the 650 card (unless I have enough HDMIs) to drive one of my wife's monitors. I key in on my pc, she swaps the source to my feed and we...

Vic suggested I look at different cases that I could mod in the extras I wanted into cases I did want. Simple solution. Thanks again Vic. Save me hours I don't have for research.

Poor grammer on my part. Most definently be tight. That is when the Corsair Graphite 780T would have been my choice with a 24,000 btu window air conditioning unit as a cooler. Hopefully only 2 gpus. One high dollar ($500) and one Asus GEForce GTX 650 to drive a cheap Walmart tv. The new boards...
