most other googling is just to see specs for compatibility issues

like fucking M$ distributed an update with fucking micro code in it

broke half of our company's entry models

every single one needs/ed to be manually bios flashed because they didn't support os flash and didn't have flashback

and I was the one to find out it was the microcode fucking us

the 'problem' was what we termed as 'greenscreening'

pc would lock up, green pixels everywhere

mostly because people with these pc's were playing fortnite

OSRI, full pc reseating, part/full rma, you name it

wew

In my case, I was like... well why

and some were mentioning that problems weren't occuring on earlier windows

I wouldnt be surprised if that was the case

win10 has had a few turbofucked updates

I mean, like I said

micro code in a windows update

specifically one in july

so obviously going before 1803 (I think we're pushing to 1809 now) would resolve it, because the update was in 1803

I also found that a lot of ryzen chips don't like more than 2400mhz ram

so flashed bios, uc'd ram to 2400 (from 2666)

super stable pc

I thought Ryzen worked better with faster ram

athlons don't like it

also, ryzens work better with slower ram with lower cas

the ram is slower, but it can move info faster in and out

good for more cores that ryzen usually has

I don't own a Ryzen i'm waiting for Zen+ but /r/amd most people were saying the faster ram you had the better your benchmarks but the first gen ram speed was capped just shy of 3000mhz but that they finally had ram somewhere around 3600mhz functioning with Ryzen. I'm still rockin a 3930k with 32gb 2400mhz ddr3 with no intentions of upgrading till someone successfully sues the ram manufacturers for price gouging on ddr4 lol

Really hoping Zen+ can hit 4.5ghz+

benchmarks are cute

That's why I use realbench at least

I'm using a 4790k personally

Whenever I have to help a potential cx build a pc and they say they are going to render or something though

I point them to ryzens

gaming? intel

Yah intel can clock a lot better.. 4.2-4.3ghz on the newer ryzens vs intel hitting 5ghz lol Thats a pretty big gap.

yeah, and getting large core count on intel is expensive

but tbh

unless you're like 1440 144hz gaming

high end ryzen with a 1080ti

will cover most else
