Got most of my parts today to build my 3rd Gaming rig. This current PC (MicroATX) was built in 2009, still running Win 7, but it served me well. Here's what I'm going with if anybody is interested. NZXT H210I case (Black) AMD 3900x ( 12 Core/24 thread - 3.8Ghz boost up to 4.6Ghz) - My first build was AMD, been Intel up to now. Asus X570 i ROG Mini ITX Strix motherboard 32GB Gskill 3600 memory Samsung 970 Evo M2/NVME drive (plus existing 500 SSD & Sata 1tb drive) Corsair H115i 280mm AIO Cpu cooler 2 / 2 of Corsair LL120 & 140 fans (lots of RGB's) Seasonic 650W SFX PSU Existing EVGA 980 TI Graphics card (thanks Stan G) Win 10 Still waiting on the PSU & MOBO, probably be up and running next weekend. Anybody using a 3900x and how do u like it?

3900x uses 224w at 100% load while rendering a large file in Blender which you will never see while playing even the most demanding game. My 3700x maxes out at 164w under full load while still boosting to 4.2-4.3ghz. AMD FX 8320 uses 195w at stock speeds under full load. I had my amd fx8320 OCed to 5ghz with the voltage bumped up on the CPU/NB and a very very power hungry Gigabyte R9 290X OC Windforce card and 8 fans with a 240mm AIO cooler and 2 mechanical HDDs and 2 ssds for 8+ years and my little 650w PSU never had a problem. I'm using an old 650w Corsair PSU that came from CompUSA back in 2004. (made by PC Power and Cooling before Seasonic bought them out) I replaced the fan in it 6 years ago when it started going bad. 650w Works fine even when running flat out while bench-marking and stress testing. Corsair PSUs are made by Seasonic. They are one of the best PSUs that you can get. Most games can only use up to 4 cores, that's why a higher clock speed is more important than core count for gaming. Your CPU will most likely never draw more than 150w max while gaming. You can upgrade your power supply at a later date since your board only requires the 4+4 CPU power connector. My board has the 8+4 CPU power connector and I only have the 8 pin connected. Works just fine but I won't be able to overclock very high without upgrading my PSU. @crimson You will love it dude. Check this out. With stock cooling and no overclock yet. That is my validated CPU-Z benchmark. Check out the right side lol. $490 intel i9 9900k is slightly slower than my $280 Ryzen 7 3700x. https://valid.x86.fr/raebm5

once you see the speed of the m.2 will make you want to replace all your drives. i am now running 3 970pros 500gb each and wish i had 3 1 tb. i dropped down to just 1 1tb 860 evo ssd. the ssd is close to 10 times faster than a hd and the nvme m.2 is 8 times faster than the ssd. its stupid fast

Omg i need points so bad now. Oink oink baby ??

Oinkerz!

Me too. Oink

A family is at the dinner table. The son asks the father, “Dad, how many kinds of boobs are there?” The father, surprised, answers, “Well, son, a woman goes through three phases. In her 20s, a woman’s breasts are like melons, round and firm. In her 30s and 40s, they are like pears, still nice, hanging a bit. After 50, they are like onions.” “Onions?” the son asks. “Yes. You see them and they make you cry.” This infuriated his wife and daughter. The daughter asks, “Mom, how many different kinds of willies are there?” The mother smiles and says, “Well, dear, a man goes through three phases also. In his 20s, his willy is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his 30s and 40s, it’s like a birch, flexible but reliable. After his 50s, it’s like a Christmas tree.” “A Christmas tree?” the daughter asks. “Yes, dead from the root up and the balls are just for decoration.”

That's pretty damn impressive Jester. I'm excited, I'll have pics once build progresses. Assuming my PSU & MOBO arrive this week.

should get no smaller than a 850watt power supply

Good info, thanks. I'm used to the XMP on Intel, haven't had memory problems for years. Looking forward to this build. My kids got better PC's than me. Biggest challenge was finding the parts I wanted. Can't find a Kraken AIO anywhere, and the PSU's are stupid expensive, and low stock. The trick with this build is can I fit a 280 aio in the case, I've seen it done, but with different aio. That and hopefully don't stroke out on the RGB. ?

Sweet. Pretty much the only thing you'll need to do is set it to XMP profile 1 and restart so that it reads your memory correctly. I got the 8 core, 16 thread 3700x and a MSI X470 Gaming Plus MAX motherboard,16 gb G-Skill DDR4 3600. My CPU hasn't throttled yet with the stock AMD Wraith Prism LED RGB Cooler. It gets up to about 65c while gaming and still boosts to 4.2-4.3ghz on all cores.I have a Corsair H105 AIO cooler but I'm still waiting on the AM4 retention bracket to show up in the mail. It uses the same 280mm Radiator that your H115i has but with the older round pump. I bought it new last year so no since buying a new one. XMP1 is Motherboard Validated timings. XMP 2 is supposed to be Default memory timings by Speed but it over volts the memory on some motherboards. XMP 2 can run unstable on some motherboards because it will run the memory at 1.5v instead of the 1.35V that most DDR4 calls for. IMO not worth the risk of burning something up. If you set it to XMP profile 1 and you have Shuttering or system instability set it to XMP profile 2.

There's a woman on the right?? All I see is ..........................

OMG so cute!!!!

CONGRATS!!!!!

Congrats @Angelz!

XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. PainKiller (26)

Summary: Cons: none, the other, Pros: none. Lol.

I doubt I'll ever be able to afford that 3080 card, which is just rediculous for the game I play. MW Ftag. I am planning on trying the new Modern Warfare, once the build is complete, just so I can go frag StanG. ?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Yeah, I'm a big believer in the SSD, adopted that early, back in 2010. My 250GB OCZ is 10 years old, and I started getting concerned it may be reaching end of life, so I mirrored it to a 500GB Samsung. Now, I got both. The 2TB WD is just for storage, pics, files etc., but yeah, I look forward to upgrading that to a larger non spin format. I'm a believer instead of RAID, just make numerous copies on different drives, so if one fails, you got a back up. For home use, raid just isn't worth it. Samsung has a 980 coming out that will actually make more use of that PCIE 4 lane, but naturally, it's not out yet, and when it is, will probably be stupid pricey. At least at first. Watch out for this one...."Samsung's 980 Pro M.2 SSDs are expected to feature read and write speeds of 6500 MB/s and 5000 MB/s, respectively, which is notably faster than the Phison-based SSDs that are on the market today." https://www.tomshardware.com/news/report-pcie-4.0-based-samsung-980-pro-ssd-will-have-max-capacity-of-1tb

Well, see that's the problem. I wanted the 750 W SF 750 Corsair, but...it has like a 3 week lead time, and people are jacking the price $100 over the msrp Seriously $250. The best I could get in an SFX PSU(which makes things more convenient in cable management) is 650 Watts /80+ Gold @ $135. I ran 2 PSU calc's and they both said max wattage was around 527 Watts. 650 gives some headroom over that. Plus, it was $100 cheaper, and I can get it this week. And it's Seasonic, which is what I've run in my current rig for 10 trouble free years. We'll see, I wanted more, just real hard to get in an SFX now. If it becomes a problem, I'll slam a full ATX in and be done. But I've never had a PSU larger than 750. Bear in mind this is mini itx, and will never be more than 1 graphics card. Thanks for the input!

stay outta my streets if ya wanna grow old ! ... enough said

Lookin good! When you get the cash gotta get a newer graphics card though!

watch them all i dare u better than the twilight zone guys

well hammer here is somthing to make ur jaw drop please watch all 3 parts

Yeah it's the dealers fault! Riiiiight!

Good m-oinking all. ?

Oinks!!

any update from may and up gave me issues on cod4 for me i uninstall those updates and block them

If your games are crashing after a Windows update, try disabling "Full screen optimizations". They are slowly updating this in stages so as not to cause problems but we are talking about Microsoft here and as usual they are screwing it up. Make sure your drivers are up to date, then right click on game .exe/properties/compatibility and check "disable full screen optimizations"

thank you
