If you didn't have a dolby digital speaker system in your bedroom/dungeon and an nforce 2 amd setup then you might as well just quit computers

I have the Klipsch ProMedia 4.1's from 2000 still. THX > Dolby anyway (back then at least).

Though I had P3 not AMD at the time right before the Athlon came out so eh, missed that.

The big deal with nforce2 audio is it did real time dd5.1 ENCODING

Crosspost from the PC building thread just incase you fellas don't read that:

Am I supposed to just force it super hard? Does anyone know?

The metal bit should be completely in the heatsink area, it shouldn't be resting on top of one of the fins.

Hot air rises up, so front mounted is still slightly better.

Hot air doesn't rise fast enough to overcome fan pressure. Hot air rising and cold air falling is really moot inside a pc case unless its fanless.

What does medical grade mean.. all I've ever seen gets used only once and then thrown away I guess some places have a need for multi-use connectors too...

They dont leak i guess. Someone found them on a supply site and they cost about $1 each .

I see AMD is embracing Intel's nonsense model names.

At least it follows a "higher numbers are faster or have more cores" rule.

Cause that totally wasn't obvious from R3, R5, and R7, x399 chipset,

Wonder if he also got the Motherboard, PSU, RAM, SSD and Cooler. Why not mention it?

The TR pre-launch so far makes Intel look pretty cheap. Just a quick reminder, they didn't even bother sending naked SL-X review samples to the EU press and here's AMD shipping 250 full review systems with that insanely over-engineered retail packaging that includes a branded torque torx wrench color matched to the carrier plate.

Its not like intel doesn't have a history of sending out elaborate press kits

These people also got ram and boards and all that poo poo as well.

With all those PCIe lanes, who gives a F about thunderbolt. Apple can use it for their garbage with no expansion. Maybe PCs can go back to being highly expandable self contained boxes. The foofoo mobile warriors can play with tunderbolt dongles and whatever.

Thunderbolt isn't an apple thing.

Professionals use thunderbolt for equipment.

No matter how cheap amd makes a 32 core cpu if it doesn't have thunderbolt its a no go for groups of people.

What about a PCIe Thunderbolt card? Do those work when low latency is required?

There is definitely pro audio gear that uses Thunderbolt at the high end, but there's actually a lot more that uses USB.

PCIe thunderbolt cards still require motherboard support.

That sucks. I was in that situation with phenom 2 and used an eBay bios chip to fix it.

Lots of motherboards still have replaceable bios chips. They are typically 8 pin chips.

They are PWM controlled. It's quite possible to make them silent. I just can't get the control-curve to my liking. The fans themselves though, amazing fans.

PWM doesn't mean they will be quiet. PWM fans have a pwm range that they work in. A 4000 rpm fan could work from 3000-4000rpm.
