    [SOLVED] ThreadRipper 3960 runs too hot (65C-85C) when idle

    Dear All, I bought my new ThreadRipper 3960X rig a few days ago and I realised that, despite having a decently sized AIO water cooler (Corsair H150i with a 360mm radiator), the CPU runs a little too hot for what it does...or, rather, doesn't do. My idle temperature anything between is 65C to...

    Question Is putting in RAM with a higher speed different to overclocking the processor or the same thing?

    Question Are AMD TR 3 processors like the 3960x & 3070x better off un overclocked and doing their own auto temp boost which I hear works better than manual OC?

    Question For the following content creation would a AMD 3950x and Quadro RX 5000 be better than a AMD TR3 3960x with Quadro 4000x or Gforce 11gb 2080 ti?

    Been struggling with decsions for a build mainly around the motherboard and GPU. Will be using solidworks a fair bit where its own forums very much push Quadro GPU cards and been looking at the Quadro 8gb RTX 4000 budget wise with a Threadripper 3960x, but for most others the Geforce...

    [SOLVED] 3960x build with 2009 graphics?

    Building this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kpgZQq The 2080ti won’t be here for a month but everything else is arriving now. Can I use my AMD ATI Radeon 5770 c010 as graphics for now? I just need some way to GUI so I can make sure everything works in case I need to return/exchange. Also how’d I do?

    Is this a good future-proof budget pc?

    Is this PC setup good for gaming, and if so can anyone estimate how long it will last before I need an upgrade? I m planning on playing games like Witcher 3, NBA 2k15, and Dragon Age Inquisition on medium/high settings. (My budget is $530) https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jsast/saved/#view=bDwnTW
