    Buying 1700x NEED COOLER!

    AIO liquid coolers are generally sealed, so you can't change the liquid even if you wanted to. Open loop coolers you want to replace coolant as it begins to degrade, which can vary based on the coolant and equipment your using.

    Discussion AMD Ryzen MegaThread! FAQ and Resources

    You can update the release date to "Early March," at the very least. It was announced unintentionally during an earnings call in February. I've also seen relatively reputable reports that the launch is set for end of February, with availability as early as March 3 for some SKUs. TDP has been...

    Please Review My Build-Ready to Purchase Today

    If you're truly only doing "minor gaming" then the 1070 is overkill. A 1060 is fine for most things at 1080p maxed, or a 1050 if you aren't playing anything super demanding. Also, have you independently verified that that PSU will fit in an ITX case? I don't see a huge need for OCing if you are...

    Emulator cpu or gpu

    Considering what cemu is, you likely will need a balance of strong CPU and decent graphics to run it well. Luckily, all current consoles run on AMD x64 (correct me if I'm wrong) CPUs with some manner of AMD GPU, which means most modern hardware should work.

    1000ms Ping in games and servers, when i have 100MBit/s Down and 2MBit/2 Upload and 10ms in speedtest

    If the server is on a different ISP, you very well could be getting routed around in a strange manner because of weird interconnects, or it could be bad (whether accidental or deliberate) routing between providers. You'll get a lot more info out of a trace ping to the server you're trying to...

    AMD Likely Skipping 10nm For 7nm, Restructures GlobalFoundries Agreement

    The stock transfer deal makes more sense when you consider that GlobalFoundries used to be AMD's semiconductor fab business, and it's a way for AMD and GF to signal they are returning to a closer relationship than they have had previously. It also incentivizes GF doing well for AMD, because if...

    Is this entry level gaming PC decent?

    I'd pay 10 bucks for it for a laugh (or some XP stuff I'd rather not run on newer OSes), but not much more than that.

    AMD says it works that way, and I can't see any reason for them to lie.
