It was on purpose. That's a "feature" they wanted to show by leaving the screwdriver there. Basically they want to show that you can screw in the cooler to the mobo without having to remove the center fan, unlike most tower coolers (check hardware Canucks video).

Hogwarts legacy, Jedi Survivor, Redfall etc etc etc devs should learn a thing or two from these guys LOL.

Meh, just wait for Amd’s 3D cache 7000 series if you must upgrade soon. I’m staying with my 5900x until I see Zen 4+ or 5 and/or ML. I game at almost 4K (5120x1440) so GPU perf is most decisive. Let’s hope they can bring down power consumption.

Even with a great cooler, as per Der8auer's video, what's making these chips hot is the very thick IHS to maintain compat with AM4 coolers. Your best gain would be getting his delid tool and direct die adapter and ditch the stock IHS, that's where you will see a reduction of about 20 freaking...

I would guess not good enough for PS5 upgrade?

Fairly soon? Per AMD's latest roadmap, Raphael is planned for the 2nd Half of 2022, that isn't "soon". A Zen3+ refresh isn't bad to compete with intel until the 2nd half of 2022....

You need to add Arctic cooling Liquid freezer 2 AIOs in this mix, they will probably blow the other AIOs out of the water (pun intended), since its the only AIO with a thicker 38mm rad, whereas all the other ones use a slimmer rad... For the prize and simplicity, I think its the best AIO out...

Quoted for the truth...

Indeed confusing. Seems like the Meshify 2 has better flow filters, they appear just mesh or nylon. Whereas the Meshify S2 has a thick foam as filters (I have one). Other than that the only changes I see is also that plate metal cover for the back to cover cables, I don't remember my Meshify S2...

Can you live with their trash drivers though?

What games are you trying for DLSS? If they're older games -not updated- using v1.0 its indeed a blurry mess, but if they're using DLSS 2.0 its amazing, even better than native 4k in some cases and no blurry at all (refer to many digital foundry videos).

I need the Seagate FireCuda 120 SSD 1TB because everyone makes fun of me when I play online games and I'm the one holding up the loading screen due my slow hard drive :(

Exactly the same for me and my 3900x. Highest boost was with agesa 1.0.0.3 abba 4625mhz. Agesa 1.0.0.4b lowered them to max 4550mhz. 1usmus new plan at least brought 4615mhz back, but only on one core. AMD fixed boost clocks with abba and the ruins then again with 4b...

Did I just read you have a 2700X? Dude, this power plans are for Ryzen 2nd gen (3XXX).

Yo be honest, I’ve never seen Ryzen master boost up to 4600mhz, I don’t think it shows real clocks but a rolling average... you should try monitoring clocks with hwinfo64; that’s the I le app ive ever seen the max boats to 4.6+ Ghz on my 3900x.
