that single core performance on ryzen is laughable
Yeah I had that issue at first I had to use my case USBs
Ended up just buying a PCI USB 3.1 card for like $30 at my local Fry's
SSee my motherboard is like first gen x99, but its still good for now 🤔
I want to get a new one eventually for the 2 m.2 slots for SSD sticks tbh
I'm lucky enough to work in a place where I'm 3rd in the pecking order for who gets the old hardware, and the two people above me are gen x'ers who don't want to work on hardware
The S is great because you can set it to camera mode and see your surroundings with the headset on
So I ended up lucking into a seriously nice former-server rig that I just had to drop new storage and a GPU into
Nice always good to get tech handmedowns
replaced the PSU too cuz it was cheap and dying but I'm still running an FX 8350 8 core @ 4.3
And 32GB of RAM cuz server ^_^
Once the ram turns up tomorrow <:Snakegasm:533665229280903196>
Also dude yes, passthrough is awesome
32GB homies ❤
FX 8350 😄 they still exist? haha
lol right? I have some issues every now and then but she still runs like a fucking champ
I know it's gonna be my bottleneck in the next couple years
Yeah should be alright for another year or so. Ryzen is cheap as fuck though so upgrading wont be too much hassle for you
FC5 had an update early this year that makes my entire system tank to black, not even BSOD. Just dumps power entirely and hard shutdown.
😂 I remember those day s
Games appearing entirely black not coming on lol
No like, not "no video" black,
like, whole machine hard powers off instantly black
They still got for a decent price the 8530s
Never seen it before in almost a decade of doing IT work
Gives a whole new meaning to its black edition
WHICH FUCKING SUCKS BECAUSE I LOVE FC5

Just get a ryzen 5 2600
Plays everything like a dream
I probably will go ryzen when I do upgrade
O
fuck intel I'd never go back to it
I'm considering just saying fuck it and doing a whole new build from the ground up except for my GPU
and retiring this hardware to doing something like DLNA on my home network
I think my favourite part about PCs is building them from the ground up. I'd probably do the same when I have to upgrade
hardware is, and always has been, the absolute favorite thing about my job
I got to cannibalize some parts out of an old laptop to fix like 4 identical models this week
