Scrolled back to the top to see if this was written on April 1st. Gol dang I am gobsmacked. Keep this creative thought and experimentation comming - but we need for the good guys to stay ahead of the bast...ds. Creative thought is where many break-throughs are born.

Forgot to add that I did a BIOS update and just dropped this 24 thread beauty straight into my 2 1/2 year old AM4 X370 motherboard. No other changes No extra cooler No further expense Try that with Intel.

Hi Deicidium, you've obvious;y not done any modern flight simming lately, have you. In particular, Prepar3D by Lockheed Martin (and the most used Flight Sim out there) uses ALL your cores if you are on AMD. The Intel guys can't seem to leverage their cores, and Intel is synonymous with...

Intel - king of low-res gaming and winter house warming... AMD - for everything else

Or consider doing as I suggested - change sims to P3Dv4 and use all those cores and threads in your AMD build. It is good enough for the US Military.

Correction - in IMGUR post, fps details are upper LEFT. Doh. https://imgur.com/a/LuU1ruC

To those going off about VR. Quote from OP "Since VR was not a priority, I recommended a budget of $1,200 for the PC and to save at least $500 for the monitor" So, VR is not a factor in this build. To the OP - The top 2 sims in the flight simming world are P3D and XP 11, by a big...

To the OP about your proposed build: Case NZXT H500 (Black) ATX Mid-Tower $70 ... fine Cooling Cryorig H7 49 CFM ... not needed - save it for upping memory to G.Sill Flare-X CPU AMD Ryzen 5 2600 ... perfectly fine for flight sim use - will deliver very smooth performance. Stock cooler is...

> A poster above you just pointed out that flight sims only use one or two cores so going for a mmany cored CPU with lower single core speed will makes the game slower.[/quotemsg] You are only correct for older 32-bit sims like FSX and FSX: SE. This is no longer true for recent 64-bit sims...

Tl;Dr - more cores, best graphics you can afford now. High resolution (4K) is nice The latest high-end sims are 64-bit and are coded to use every resource you can throw at it, including cores. The old FSX is just 32-bit and hammers one core, making a fast clock Intel best if you are going to...
