looks like ill be getting another matched set.. yall talked me into it lol thanks for the info.

thanks guys so the general consensuses seems: when needed just add 2 more identical single rank sticks and deal with timings then ? as it seems like only a percent or two difference in real world games and apps?

woops right its a Ryzen 9 5900x ill fix it in the specs as long as i can throw two more sticks at it and actually not lose performance due to having the back off timing too much.

i built the rig in my specs a month or so ago. when i went with memory, hearing AMD can (or had) issues with some sticks i went with the specific ones the reviewer of the board used in his tests. these are the exact sticks...

USB modem. plugged in since 2007 and run more or less 24/7/365 since. i dont even remember the model i would have to check in the closet lol

i dunno. my htpc with one spinner for media has lived on top of my cerwin vega RE30 mains with 160 watts rms from an onkyo receiver ( the CV has 12" woofers, and its set to no low cutoff for the mains as i also use the cerwin vegas 12s for low freq, they roll off around 35 hz i believe.. and i...

cpu is soldered in this mobo. mine has a fan on the HS also, the pic here shows no fan. https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X10SDV-4C-TLN4F bit of a bummer but since the 1518s low power (25w) was around the max i wanted and the build must be a miniITX layout for my 2u...

yup thats what i wanted, very solid with a bit of overkill for future/unforeseen tasks. then i more or less built the right system for what i want? huh. guess when hanging around here you really do learn stuff lol.

thanks! 1st xeon for personal use, wanted something for more or less bulletproof network storage and was low power, this (built onto a supermicro x10 board with 2x10gb NICs, plus others) seemed to fit the requirements nicely. stuffed it into a 2U "switch depth" case in my 10U wall rack. old...

im still rolling on my gigabyte z77x ud5h and 3570k since they came out as the daily driver. aside from one pcie slot giving problems (and that probably being my fault) its been very reliable, being on mostly 24/7/365. a bluesceen once a year maybe (win7). doesnt seem picky on ram either, ive...

hey can i join the club with a baby xeon? its a Xeon-D 1518 (4c/8t @2.20 ghz, 25 watt SoC) that is my freenas box. 64 gb ecc ram, 4 spinners in Z2, and 3 SSDs in Z1.

Nice increase. Don't forget to pull some profit here and there as you never know when a nasty correction can happen. Then again all I know (being in this since 2011) is every real bull run to a new ATH makes the previous ATH look pathetic.

will probably do a 360 actually, a bit extra cant hurt. since the valve index wont be out till august anyway i will definitely wait on zen3. might pick up the monitor sooner just to drop into this system in the interim as this poor samsung is showing its age now. works but with my eyesight a...

thanks! printed the list, looks pretty nice. the case looks good. i plan on at least a 240/280 AIW, or a 360 would be fine too, as long as it fits the case. i dont mind paying a bit extra for stuff that can actually make a difference as long as its not an exorbitant difference. cooling and...

thats what im hoping, ill find something she likes. ill check out beat saber for sure. actually she does like some mobile games (shudder) mostly word games and such. only pc game she ever liked was plant vs zombies. she played that while recovering from a surgery. that game got me hooked too.
