The TPU UK Clubhouse

[dorsetknob]

I will just Try and dropkick this here

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

England were shit in the first half.

 

[dorsetknob]

maybe so but a win is a win
Remind me how did wales Do

And on friday the women how did they do

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

You cant deny that Wales were robbed against England and today England should have performed a lot better.

England were complacent from the kickoff and although they probably deserved the win, they were mediocre at best against such weak opposition.

Funny i thought their last game was losing to Scotland not England
and
ps
the ladies lost as well ( again to Scotland )

Just had an epiphany. I can talk Trump as much as I please. Like me he's a half blood Scotsman. As such he could be one of the UK Clubhouse members.

Loving his latest "Blame Obama for leaks" childish rant, whilst offering no evidence, whilst damning the 'fake news' outlets, while making shit up as he goes along, whilst watching people actually forgive his behaviour. Very bad half Scotsman that he is and therefore that I can talk about extensively in a UK Clubhouse that has Scottish people in it.

Just ordered my next monolithic cooler - leaving CPU water cooling behind and getting all macho.

Works as well as a 240 AIO system. And my next case is currently sitting ready, with a horizontal mobo.

Take it your ok with that Cooler blocking a Ram Slot ????
or is low profile Ram planned for later ???

your 1st photo the angle made it look like insufficient clearance ?
Glad the 2nd photo clears that up

No love for Ryzen?

lonely is the man that has no love in his life ( apart from the five fingered widow )

No love for Ryzen?

I game. I'm going to almost certainly buy a GTX1080ti. I need fast throughput. A KL chip is easier option. It would be silly to buy an 8 core (any chip) over a 4 core fast chip.

2 days later - so not double posting...

I need some ideas. I game at 1440p, certainly wont ever do 1080p. I use max settings where possible. Given my next gfx card will probably be a 1080ti (I don't think Vega will beat it) - will I see any performance detriment in gaming using a Ryzen 8 core at about 4Ghz over a Kabylake at 4.8Ghz?

I've read that the Ryzen chip offers smooth frames and no hitching (something a reviewer found against a7700k) and also moving to 1440p pretty much removes the CPU bottleneck. Thing is, is this bottleneck as simple as AMD say - down to everything coded for Intel or is it something else? Again - if you look at the 8 core multi-tasking the Ryzen chip competes with a 6900, so per core the IPC must be good. I know someone is going to say wait but if I wait, I'll end up waiting for Skylake -E, then Coffeelake, then Ryzen 2+ and on and on until I can only play minecraft on my 2011 Sandy-E build PC.

Only thing I see as an issue with Ryzen is the motherboards. Having to get the £200+ board to overclock 300mhz and that's not even guaranteed.

See plenty of people saying they can't get memory above 2400 or 2666Mhz to on the cheaper boards.

Most of the chipset stuff is built into the CPU so why they are so expensive is beyond me.

As for the CPU you'll need to decide between the 1700 and 1800x. Possible you could get 4.1Ghz out of the 1800x and only 3.9-4.0Ghz from the 1700 but they run 10-15 degrees cooler.

I think Ryzen will serve you well at 1440p or above at max settings as FPS is lower your not trying to push 200-300fps

 

[the54thvoid]

I think on balance, Ryzen AM4 boards will stay around as they said till 2020, give or take. If I buy KL, I know there will be new boards, new chipsets each year. Optimistically I think I will give AMD a shot. I'll aim for a 4.0Ghz clock and try to get memory at 3000. I know the board and chip.

Just have to decide when to buy.

And if AMD turns out a good experience, I'll be an advocate for them. If it's bad, I reserve the right to bemoan them.

I take that as meaning you can't tolerate my foxiness. And I am no xenophobe, you country bumpkin. Back in your barn.

If your still thinking of getting the hero might want to look into the Gigabyte boards(keep reading these are getting the best results). Reading more and more problems with the Hero and rumours that ASUS might even pull it from sale
