Linus hasn't gone all AMD in YEARS, but now that AM5 and RDNA 3 are here it's time for a change. There's just a few problems to sort out first, like the RAID card he HAD to use, and the custom loop that has already changed since he built it.

Where's the link to that stubby screwdriver? I NEED that in my life 😂
nice
Yes, Linus. I can buy a $1,499 M.2.
Is the ad at the ending shoot last year, or nobody noticed that the copy wrote 2022? And i was about to build a brand in 2023 with squarespace, guess i missed it...
Hi, Linus! I had the same issue when installing CPU water block. Almost thought I am missing a bracket or something. My only manual was on a small phone screen as old rig was already in pieces.
*Alex, when asked if Linus was missing something* : "Yes". It's so hard to find reliable consulting these days but goddamit, Alex is worth his weight in gold.
and he never got the right backplate, now he has a forever stuck 200$ cpu cooler on this board and if he drills it out, to garbage it goes.
@@Xenoray1 with some luck he can only drill the screw head and it will come out... with some luck
Just don't consult Linus or most people in LTT about picking actual sensical PC parts lol, they don't actually know as much as you'd think. Like Linus saying the clocks are only a "little" higher on the 7950x when the base clock is as high as his last CPU's boost clock
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660 But we're also getting to the point with CPUs that they're so optimized out of the box you're not gonna be boosting much higher than base.
@@Kyle_116 That's just not true, quite the opposite actually. We're at a point where overclocking is useless because CPU's and GPU's boost so well and so high on their own stock.
Linus's proud dad smile for David's sponsor segue was priceless.
Edit: I get it I spelled "segue" wrong.
that was A-tier 👌
segue
That segway was smooth af, even if it was low effort
I love how basically the whole team is on board with the meme these days. They all do those segues now and it's brilliant.
@@ikbendusan segway
The David cameo lipsync was gold. Never stop with those fun interjections.
hes creepy with that pornstache......lmao
It's adorable how proud he is of making that RAM. I would be too honestly, he deserves it :)
Edit: also that's still a $1k+ SSD.
Yep. I looked it up. 1k. Hell I paid under 50 dollars for my Silicon Power 1TB. Works pretty good and been running since 1st nov last year on a brandnew system.
@@kameljoe21 Can't really make a comparison of us the normal pleb vs him the tech nerd who has it all, your 50$ 1TB might work for you, but not for him
@@thedoctor2880 I know what you mean. Yet he does have a nas at his house. Also another thing to point out is that thunderbolt set up is very costly. 200 for card, 500 for the 100ft fiber cable, 150 to 300 just for the docking station. Then you need the computer too. I was thinking about doing this when I build my new house. Running everything in the server room for my tri plex. This way I can keep the heat out of the house and exhaust it during the summer and then exchange it in the winter. Alone it is going to cost 10k just for the nas, switch, security system, KVM Combo, telephone system and anything else I might need. I was thinking that since non of us game a used server could be an option if I was using that thunderbolt system. Yet at 1k each plus used server that has the right slots and I would need 6 units. So I think I will opt out of that. I would like to install some sort of IP security system as well along with badge locks or rfid chips manetic locks as I will be installing commercial steel exterior doors and these types of doors work great with these types of locks. While ring door bells are popular I want something like this with either the badge, key fob, or pin access with camera, mic and intercom system.
@@kameljoe21 is there a tldr for this?
@@dhruv4028 TLDR dude is going to overengineer his home computing system and it will cost lots of money.
Linus can literally not go one video without dropping an expensive piece of equipment
Like his career
@@blankblank8608 oof
He's dropped his fair share of hard Rtx cards over the years
It’s almost like its a gimmick that has hooked many viewers and helped make him wealthy, so maybe its less an accident than it maybe once was….
@BLANK BLANK Luckily Luke caught it before it shattered.
It just cant be an LTT video without linus dropping something that costs as much as 1/3 of my annual salary.
lmao
also cant be a LTT video without linus dropping a couple Rs of the hard variety (cant comment the other way around lol)
Annual?
Your anual salary is $1800? That's rough, dude...
He didn't drop the firetruck though
I feel slightly better knowing Linus was confused with the mounting system of the new EK block. I helped my friend build is new rig for Christmas and we read the instructions first for mounting it. It’s pretty straight forward and I have to say I like it a lot more than other systems. Looks clean too.
I dislike it because it makes me unable to replace my CPU without ripping my system totally apart. I run a sandwich layout ITX build.
16:15 Maple Ridge is the most Canadian town I've ever heard of.
Until you said that I had never though of it like that but wow, ultra Canadian
i love that micron went bonkers on the decals for your memory. it shows they understand their audience
Linus is the master of making his life harder than it should be
Living a pretty sweet life, I am very sure 😁
I feel like half the people I know that build PCs make their own lives hell, but linus manages to make even worse decisions. No matter how hard I may try.
After this week's WAN Show oh yeah you can say that again lol
@@FhtagnCthulhu could you detail these decisions? I don't follow along.
No understanding of Linux and no willingness to learn...this guy is rapidly becoming a tech loser...99% of real comp techs can run Linux, why this idiot continues to run Windows by default is beyond me.
Ooooh becuz gaymz! GAYMZ!
“SOMETIMES ”
3:37 Oh, you gonna get it for that.
After seeing the stealthy ddr5 memory, I now want to see a full sleeper pc, where each high performance modern component has the shroud of an old component on it, so it looks like an old pc even when open.
Is gonna be a lot of fun to cool an RTX 4090 with the blower cooler that came with the 7900 GTX
Just get some normal looking PCBs back on the market would be a good start.
@@hugevibez You know, he could just take an AIB 4090, remove the back plate and make a custom shroud that looks old. (Maybe clear plastic with an ATI logo or something, he could even add retro artwork on it like graphics cards used to have on them, the possibilities are endless) As for cooling the CPU, he could take inspiration from mid 00s water cooling, with clear soft tubing, manky looking blocks, aquarium pump, clear blue led fans, UV green coolant, 5.25 in bay reservoir. Another cool thing he could do is custom sleeved cables in the style of ketchup and mustard cables on old or cheap power supplies. Another thing he could do is make a custom floppy disk drive. What do I mean by that? Well, I saw a TH-camr who made custom floppy discs that have solid state storage in them, and a custom floppy drive that could read them, so he would insert a normal looking floppy disk, and the computer would report 128gb of storage space. How cool would that be?
@@hugevibez 7900 ? Make it the GeForce FX 6800 blower.
@@patricks3023 just buy like an alienware PC, they use green pcbs
Linus: This block is never coming off
AMD ( getting ready to launch the 7950x 3D): Hold my beer 🍺
Really thought when they had boot issue that they would have to reseat the cpu
I swear they should try liquid cooling a PC with 96-169 proof liquor.
too much hassle to indivually assign games to only tun on v cache cores (although it would help alot especially since his memory is HORRENDOUSLY BAD)
Already launched same $600
@@Arlus His memory isn't bad at all.
I love this sort of chill videos of just building some dope PC. Perfect for a rainy day
I almost always skip the sponsors because of course but I caught the tail end of the signalrgb spot and had to backtrack to check it out. I’m glad I did, it’s immediately so helpful and now I don’t have to have 4 different rgb controllers! Great sponsorship!
I download it, AND EVERYTHING sync. Holy shit it worked.
Really liking this "new" way of editing videos that shows even the boring stuff like the water-cooling of the GPU with an easy-going background music, it's nice!
even at the level of editing and filming they were already doing, its great seeing them continually adding and expanding.
I thought it was because of the wan show incident😂 Linus you’re so innocent😭
What happens on the wan show stays on the wan show
I literally didn’t get it at first too!! He’s so innocent and I love him for that
@@kx3825 🤫
Which one. You have to specify 🤣
Luke's immediate look of "wtaf?" was priceless
IS THAT A MINI LTT SCREW DRIVER??? 14:28
TAKE MY MONEY
18:50 Saw this BSOD coming as soon as the RAID card as mentioned in the beginning of the video, I am very certain that "Inaccessible Boot Device" is due to the fact that Windows was installed on a RAID setup and the new drive is being accessed by AHCI. I have experienced this myself many times when swapping a Windows install between a controller set to AHCI and RAID and back. About the one thing Windows can't handle when moving hardware is the drive controller being set to a different mode than it was installed in. Thankfully it's easy to fix if you can temporarily connect it to or set the drive controller to what it expects so then you can boot into it and change it to recognize a different type of controller.
EK's new waterblock design is horrendous. Cool that you don't have to see the mount from the top, but guess what, because you have to screw them in through the back of the board with the thinnest part of the screw which is even thinner because they had to machine the torx into it, it is fairly easy to shear as mine did and I ended up having to literally break my block to take it back off.
Noticed that, currently waiting for Alphacool to have theirs in stock, theirs seem to have a bit better production quality at least for the 7900xtx lineup, haven't decided 100% which block to get yet, since it's winter the temps and noise hasn't been that bad but pretty noticeable.
I like the idea of installing the block from the back, not just because of the aesthetic, but also because dealing with holding the backplate in place before you get the mounting screws started is a PITA. But EK's execution of the idea is absolutely awful.
Yeah that design just to hide the screw heads from the top seems pretty ridiculous if it's sacrificing structural strength
@@alistairblaire6001 The same effect could be achieved with a simple clip on plate, I dont know how something so awful could make its way through the entire engineering and qc process. baffling.
Yep. Looking at different blocks that aren't trying to re-invent the standoffs and the thumb screw caps on the face of the board.
Keep the editor safe! PLEASE! I've never laughed so much watching LTT!
I agree, was put together very well.
It was Hoffmann, you can be specific about it! :)
They have credits at the very end of every video
@@matejfoltyn Thanks!
as a person who also has a 7900xtx seeing linus enjoy it just as much as I do mine just puts a smile on my face.
I love that build more than your previous one because it's a smarter choice! It's a sensible build in relations to your needs and not straight up flexing. As computer enthusiasts we should care about optimizing everything, and optimizing the price/performance/use-case ratio should be a priority too!
If I had a nickle for every time this man changes his pc.....
You'd be the next Jeff Bezos!
He gets much more than just a nickel for changing his pc.
You would have a certain number of nickels. It will be quite a lot, but it's no surprise that it hapenned so many times.
...you could probs afford a new pc
@@thomasreid2609 At today's prices? Still no.
19:33 You're probably going to wait to turn RAID off if you want TRIM to work properly, its still a problem on some drives/boards/raid layouts
Plus you can't do SSD firmware upgrades with the Raid active in the Bios.
I love that they dub over David when burning Linus. I think he’s one of those guys that’s too sweet for Linus to ever get upset with him, so he makes the perfect call back heckler for these videos 😅💜
I love your enthusiasm and dedication to the review, Linux. Great job Linux tech talks.
Interesting how the video was shot almost 3 weeks before release, shows how much work goes into these videos, keep on doing what you’re doing!
They do build a buffer of videos, so that if even few videos get delayed for something out of their hands, they meet their quotas.
@@dysonlifts what incident did i miss?
@@_aullik Basically Linus didn't realize when people use the term "Hard R," they mean the N word ending with R, but what he thought was the mental disability. So he went out and said "I've dropped my fair share of hard Rs" which could raise hell to the company. Thankfully Luke (who is now migrated back to LTT from Floatplane) caught him and made sure to clarify which "hard R" he's referring to.... LOL
There's a whole army of staff working on them day and night 💪😁
@@someoneelse1550 never heard of "Hard R" before, so really get why someone would assume it meant the mental deficiency starting on R!
Weird obscure internet "slang" ( almost ) strikes again
I did the exact same thing as Linus with the exactly the same ram heat spreaders. I was met with the exact same fit problems and concerns as he was and thought I was just some sketchy budget pc builder. Then I see a guy who could have any computer in the world do the same thing with his one-and-only ram kit. Vindication is the sweetest candy of all!
19:14 I love how everyone's ignoring the LG tv with a windows error in this shot
i have a feeling were going to be seeing alot more AMD
Intel deserves it for pussing out of the partnership.
@@IllusiveDev yes
Because he have to its his sponsor right ? Behind the curtains he is still intel
@Mono Chrome how do you know
@@monochrome5297 Lmao, you fanboys are hilarious.
Why did I think this was going to be about the hard R?
Me to... me to
dropping a 1,500 gpu even that doesn't compare to the damage caused to your career for using that word
I think they addressed it well enough in the moment.
A thing about software raid. It CAN be awesome specially when you use linux as your main system. ZFS is great filesystem although keep the memory requirement in mind.
Issue with hardware raid is the vendor locking you get. with software raid you can take your drives/ssds to a new system and import the raid and are not forced to use a compatible raid card
Mdraid1 for boot zfs or mdraid5 for everything else. I was going to say incremental expansion being something zfs sorely lacks. But it looks like that may have been addressed in 2021 ish.
Oh that's good. I like that.
14:27 waiting for short LTT screwdrivers to start shipping
Really appreciate the editing that gives us a quick glimpse of the process, it's probably more intensive to put the video together that way but it's REALLY noticeable in a good way
The FB-DIMM heat spreader reuse warms my heart, the genuine happiness at an idea working. Also I remember having to use those hot buggers.
Lovely video.
Side note: Jake, David and Plouffie are superstars. ♥
Q: I wonder if the whole "using RAID to load Windows" thing will stay as is or if they will/can change it to not do that. Wonder it there's system performance left on the table with the RAID ... loading...
Software raid is my preference because hardware raid you're tied to the specific raid card. But yeah, not fakeraid and not for boot lol. (Ok mdraid 1 for boot, but I don't think windows can do similar to that)
props to the editor of this video - love it
The easy fix for moving from a software raid (any) - is to load in a safe mode and windows automatically will switch boot device drivers to load on startup. Safe mode > reboot to normal. Done. I done that while moving from a Intle Optane acceleration raid to a usual ACHI controller.
Yeah, or if you wanna be extra careful/particular, you can boot into recovery mode, pull up the CMD prompt and remove/add drivers. He's probably going to continue to have TRIM issues as a result. Surprised he didn't know this intuitively.
@@pixels_per_inch There is a menu that you can use while normally booted into windows that allows you to force it to boot into recovery when you restart.
@@pixels_per_inch Oh. Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you meant you switched over but kept the RAID driver and you were able to boot.
In this case, just make a Windows installation USB. You can then pull up a command prompt, and use the 'wmic' command to modify drivers that are present on any drive partition containing a windows install
@@pixels_per_inch Okay. So my recommendation is:
* Make sure RAID is enabled in your bios settings.
* Boot to a Windows install USB (that you have also copied the necessary driver, including the .inf file onto) and get to a recovery/install environment
* Use the keyboard shortcut to pull up a cmd prompt
* Use the "pnputil" command to load the RAID driver while in the recovery/install environment- after this, the RAID should show up as a valid drive/partition
* Use the "wmic" command to load the new RAID driver into your existing windows install (make sure that you don't just add it to the recovery environment, or the install that would happen if you continued through the USB install disks menu prompts, wmic can be confusing).
* From there, if your system won't boot like normal, it should at least get you to somewhere that windows can do an autorepair.
Don't think I can help much more just from here. But it looks like you just needed to use 'pnputil' to manually load the RAID driver in the recovery environment (assuming you remembered about the BIOS settings.
14:28 is that a stubby LTT screwdriver??? hope it gets a release soon, looks super handy
Also 14:02. I really want one too because OG is mostly too big for my computer stuff so I just go for ifixit for computers. But OG turned out to be fantastic for everything else, especially 3d printers, electronics and furniture.
loving the vibes with the music while building
finally your videos going back to the roots and good again. keep it that way ;-)
I still remember the video where it says "I may never upgrade again!" from 2 years ago and yet, it's been like the 5th upgradeto his personal setup in 2023.
I feel satisfied that Linus has basically updated his rig to be almost identical to my own 😊
You know... your segues to the sponsors are so good and funny that I even watch those ones... So good for you! I hope you have fun with the new computer.
You can also safe mode the OS and it usually will fix the weird NVMe changes. Just a hint for the future!
"we all make mistakes"
Proceeds to throw the processor around 3 times in a row
Never commented before, but I really noticed the editing on this video!
I kind of liked it. It changed what I might normally expect to have a 'live stream' from your channel into something a bit more fun to watch.
3:56 yeah, spending 1000 bucks on an SSD is definitely very sensible
David needs a raise immediately for that ad segue, pure gold!
I use a ThunderboltEX4 from Asus as my add-in Thunderbolt card. I've barely tapped into its potential with just one of its two 40 GB/s bandwidth ports.
Only issue?: Setting up the BIOS to the proper settings for an add-on thunderbolt card. Took me a while to learn what settings worked.
But now it works. And I love it.
Side note: My motherboard is an AMD board as well (ROG Strix B550-E), so just check the compatibility lists on these add-in cards. You might be surprised which motherboards are compatible!
Thunderbolt is such a massive pain when it doesn't work, but once it does it's the best thing ever. I switched my stuff after watching the first few things on it here, it's fantastic to have such a big useable data pipe to the other side of the house. Granted I've always gotten motherboard with them built in. I'm currently running a Ryzen and a Threadripper Pro with TB from the motherboards (AsRock still out there making those niche boards I love).
5:25 in, surprised Linus opted for the standard 7950X over the X3D version.
Maybe this was filmed a while back? 🤷🏻♂️
The Z690 ITX motherboard I have in my home server supports PCIe bifurcation, but only x8x8 I think. The X570 motherboard in my desktop doesn't support it at all.
I was looking into whether a PCIe splitter exists that would suit a Mini ITX case and motherboard to allow me to insert 2 single-slot cards where normally there is space for a single dual-slot card. One of the cards would almost certainly need to be half height, as it won't be able to plug directly into the motherboard, the splitter would have to plug in there, and there just isn't room to sandwich a splitter under a full-height card. I have a SAS HBA card and I'd like to install a TV tuner card alongside it so I don't have to use USB TV tuners.
Couldn't find any product that would work for my use case, the ones I could find that don't have the connectors mounted at a 90 degree angle to the slot on the motherboard have both of the connectors on the same board meaning both cards would need to be half height, and the TV tuner card specifically needs to be full height because it has to have CI slots.
I'm smiling because I know the x3D came out not long after shooting this. Bleeding edge cuts
Alright… that minecraft rgb example might actually be the only time I would use RGB 😂. 10/10 footage there.
Beautiful setup an powerful. Lived the blue theme
Shoutout to Linus for letting me know that its possible to disable pop-ups on startup for steam.
_But you know who’s NOT a questionable choice? Our sponsor!_
Inaccessible boot device sometimes corrects its self if you go into safe mode first and then reboot into normal mode.
16:19 I love how right after this video was released Linus’s name was added into the list of notable people from Maple Ridge, BC, with this video cited as the source
love videos like this. Learn alot
Probably going to waterblock my reference 7900xtx too, outstanding performance, the temps are alright, junction never surpasses 90 degrees, it however is incredibly loud when it is pushing hard, with the waterblock I would get better OC headroom, lower temps and noise to boot.
No idea which block to use yet, EK and Alphacool are currently in my radar.
Yeah, apparently the partner GPUs actually perform significantly better because they push clock speeds a lot more than reference. The reference clock speeds are very low, you would probably see a big improvement in performance
the way he dropped the CPU box felt so braindead 😂😂😂 hilarious!
Looked a bit staged tho 😉😅
14:20
OMG IS THAT A MINI EDITION OF LTT SCREWDRIVER?!
That last segue read by David is just *chef's kiss*
I feel like they should have a lifeline to Jay for any and all watercooling issues. 😂
Don't you mean "hardline"?
Congratulations on the new build.
This looks to be epic because it's mostly AMD. I used to love AMD builds and am glad to see they compete again.
I wonder when you'll rebuild again, and again, and again? (:
New tech releasing frequently and having money and being actual tech youtuber means he will upgrade in the future.
Looking forward to the Floatplane bts of this video!
cool postproduction bits. Lip syncing never gets old :D
I'm sure the motherboard was a sponsor placement, but there are several AM5 boards with native thunderbolt 4, 10Gbe and plenty of PCIe slots. Very odd choice.
Eh I don't think it's a sponsor otherwise it would of been mentioned pretty well, unless Linus went behind one of his core beliefs but I do find the choice odd too!
But Linus is odd 😅
Edit: thinking it over, it's probably more likely it's just the nearest and best board they had in stock at that moment, Linus has a habit of scavenging lmao
I think you're confusing "had it in the office" for product placement. They've mentioned before that if they have a high end motherboard, it's probably deployed or reserved for testing. So, even Linus can't snag it for his personal build.
It's probably a compatibility question, as he wants a specific Intel TB4 chip so he doesn't have issues with his optical setup later on. We'll probably have a whole new video troubleshooting that anyways. xD
@@natsukage3960 All the AM5 boards with builtin TB4 have the Maple Ridge chip, but imo it's better to have it as an addin card in case it dies. (In theory you could also upgrade to 80Gbps TB5 once it releases)
I believe the x4 being directly connected to the CPU is unique to the board, most boards have 1-2 M.2's connected directly instead and the x1/x4 slots through the chipsets.
@@natsukage3960 as far as I'm aware the PCIe AIC has the exact same TB4 chip as my proart x670e, which has 2x TB4 ports and also 10Gbe
I understand that they scavange, but he mentioned specifically that he went for this board because of the TB4 AIC support, which implies he went out and got a motherboard specifically.
Is Jake using a 'stubby' LTT screwdriver @14:22 ?
I believe so
Linus effortlessly drops pc parts that i can't afford, and calls it content. I love it
LOVE the retro RAM heatsinks. I'll have to do that sometime.
My all time favorite intro was, "We had a slogan but Linus dropped it" XD Writing team = respect+100
Always love the builds ❤❤
feels like u implemented some new Editing tecniques, i like them
Loved the new style of the video 👌
I had an all AMD setup for a while. AMD FX-8350 and R9 290X until the CPU got upgraded to 4790K and GPU to GTX 1070, later CPU got to 3950X with same GPU. Now it's 5800X3D with Sapphire Nitro 7900 XTX. Pretty happy about this setup. Though I do have issues running The Witcher 3 in DX12 mode.
@runethomasen1698 any details on your issues and how bad? Is it better in DX11 mode? Thinking going all team red but super nervous about compatibility and new game performance
I've had this issue with cloning a drive from a HDD to an m.2 before using a drive cloning utility. I ended up needing to mount a WinPE disk and use command line to rebuild the boot partition. It's a hacky workaround but definitely 100% doable. I don't remember 100% exactly how it went or the commands I needed to execute but it saved my butt from having to install Windows from fresh. Notable issue after the fact is drive indexing can be way off, causing file explorer to become unresponsive when looking at some files or directories even on a fast drive.
For me, just using secure mode made windowd magically find the drivers
This was the first video I saw on Floatplane before here, it's pretty damn good over there! I do wish it remembered the videos I have seen already so I don't have to but that's a minor inconvenience.
Wild I just watched the skull trail build video from which those ram heat spreaders came from yesterday never thought they'd surface again based on how old they were.
Linus would find a a way to drop the Ryzen 9 CPU right at the beginning of the video. Luckily it was still in the box 🤣
I wonder if this will be the last time we hear about the custom RAM Linus made
It is possible, but it would require nuclear war.
thats why its hard to explain to people who have never built a PC is theres things you need to watch out for lol, its not like Lego they just dont perfectly match. When I sell gaming parts to someone who has never built a PC and they say they watched youtube videos on how to do it I stop them in there tracks and Im like. Ill come over and build it for you step by step because theres a lot of little nick knack things you might not have seen in a video.I remember the first 2 times I did the guy was like the computer wont turn on.I asked him if he hooked up front panel connectors to the mobo and he ddint even know what I was talking about.Another guy failed to put in standoff screws into a case(that came in his case box cause I saw it when I brought the stuff over to him) he bought and shorted the motherboard. Its easy pop in and pop out with pre-builts if the psu
I watch LTT videos for the segways, Tech stuff is just icing on the cake.
The last time I was "all team red" was when I was rocking an Athlon 64 and a Radeon graphics card.
Didn't think I'd ever see the day where they were potentially on top again. Love the competition! When I eventually upgrade from my current zen2 chip and RTX 2070 Super, I'm hoping it'll all be team red.
I've ALWAYS ran AMD since socket 7 ! Turned ALL ROG with RYZEN launch and never happier !
@@phyde1885 did you use bulldozer?
I love Ryzen but bulldozer was just... yikes
Though AMD was CPU team Green (vs Intel as CPU & iGPU team Blue) back then, ATi were GPU team Red (vs nVidia as GPU team Green). I was actually running an entirely team Green machine back then.
@BottleNeck Gaming its what competition is, switching to the team thats doing well is good.
@@tristan6509 No,i skipped over that Train Wreck ! Praise the Heavens ! Didn't have the $$$ for it anyway. I went from socket 7 to 133,233,333,400,Athlon XP 3200+, then to Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition,then on to 1rst Gen ASUS RYZEN ROG C6H w/AMD 1800x & ASUS ROG RX480. AND now "JUST" a week ago,purchased a ASUS ROG PG32UQR 4K Monitor.
I was debating Bulldozer at that time period after a while,but when they was saying how Under-performing it was compared to what i already had,it was a NO BRAINIER ! Just wait,and it paid off big time !! This rig runs like SMOOTH HOT BUTTER !
I'm wait till they make some better Vid cards than a RX 7900 XTX OC Edition 24GB.
The Reference looks GREAT for once,but has a thermal bug and likes being Upright.
What i'd like to see is a ASUS ROG RX 7950 XTX X3D OC Edition 24GB,or more ! Maybe 32 GB with LOTS,& I mean LOTS of Ray Tracing Compute Power Balls to go behind it ! They're getting there,put some MEAT it the DAM thing ! It's the only place they are holding back on now. DAMIT ! Show NVIVIA some TEETH !! 😎
the whole trying to slide the cpu box sequence just sent me :D
I also used a lot of older server dims for there heat spreaders, log them old ones, also have a lot of copper spreaders
Linus dropping a few hard-R's again... Raid is a no no word
I'll be upgrading my Ryzen 3950x based rig soon and I also decided to go with the Ryzen 7950x over Intel's i9. Although I was leaning toward Intel at first, I decided to go team AMD again due to the PCIe lanes available on the CPUs. AMD gives you 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes, while Intel gives only 20 PCIe 5.0 and 4 PCIe 4.0. I may be mistaken, but I believe that the Intel 13th gen CPUs are the first to mix different PCIe gens in one CPU. While the chipset may have provided different gen PCIe lanes, the CPU did not. (Let me know if I'm mistaken.)
For at least the past few gens, consumer level CPU PCI lanes were as follows:
x4 - to chipset
x4 - direct to nvme storage
x16 - to GPU (or x8/x8 for dual cards)
x24 - all same PCIe gen
Whereas the 13th gen Intel CPUs have the following lanes:
x4 [5.0] - to chipset
x4 [4.0] - to nvme storage
x16 [5.0] - in one of the three following configurations:
x16 - to GPU
x8/x8 - dual GPU
x8/x4 - to GPU and nvme storage, respectively
If one goes with the Intel platform and chooses to use the PCIe 5.0 nvme slot, they're giving performance for their primary GPU (I've seen claims of up to 15% depending on application), the ability to run dual GPUs, as well as leaving x4 lanes unused. Conversely, should one choose to use all x16 lanes for full GPU performance or dual GPU, they're stuck with PCIe 4.0 speeds for nvme. The case can be made that there are currently no PCIe 5.0 nvmes and that when they come out they'll be expensive, however prices always go down and storage is typically the easiest and cheapest way to give an older rig a noticeable performance bump. I can attest to this myself, when I built my rig right when the Ryzen 3000 series hit with PCIe 4.0, I got the first gen Sybrent Rocket PCIe 4.0 nvme drives, a year or so later I upgraded to the more mature and faster Samsung 980 Pro. This remains the only upgrade I've made for this rig.
like that water block a lot :) have much fun with your new computer
Those blue heatspreaders looked awesome!
Gonna be honest, if I had 4 identical nvme drives lying around I'd probably put my system in RAID 0 too.
Yes, you do make questionable choices sometimes Linus. Just like that one time where you went, *"I used to say the hard r-word all the t---" REDACTED* and made Luke almost shat himself.
That was so funny, thank gosh Linus is a boomer when it comes to words🤣
@@ssl3546 I can’t imagine how unfunny and stupid you must be in order to have said this and feel it to be true.
It's not called the gamer word for no reason
9:16 You only have one shot, Linus.
so nice of them to make a dropping compilation
We back, boys?
Video idea: A video on what NASA space radiation hardening actually is. Then we can give the JWST guff again about why they only used a 68GB or w/e SSD and your home machine has an 8TB M.2 SSD lol.
