Zero Gravitas posted:Welp the frankenstein machine worked out pretty well and I'm looking at getting decent hardware. Anything other than the 1700 is a ripoff compared to it, you might get an extra 100-200MHz if you are lucky and you go with an 1800X, pretty much every Ryzen 7 CPU will do at least 3.9GHz, and many 1700s will do 4GHz, especially on water.

Rabid Snake posted:I got a 1700 for $250. Can the wraith cooler over clock well or I am I better getting s hyper 212 or another aftermarket CPU cooler Ryzen needs to be run at fairly high voltages and produces a lot of heat so it's recommended that you go with a 240-280mm AIO if you want to get the most out of your chip.

GRINDCORE MEGGIDO posted:I assumed they might suck as reviewers. It's a shame they are maxing out Ryzen's memory controller but not the Intel chips. They probably don't have a DDR4-4200 kit lying around to test with, also a motherboard that supports those speeds, also performance in games maxes out at around DDR4-3200/3400 on Intel platforms.

Obsurveyor posted:What's up with memory prices anyway? The same stuff I bought 6 months ago is 55% more expensive today and prices in general seem up from then. Thinking I should just pull 32GB out of my machine and use it on the new one, rather than drop up to $175 on freaking 16GB. Demand is outstripping supply right now with the move to DDR4 and it can take years for new production lines to be built or old DDR3 production lines to be converted to DDR4 production.
