AMD promising a 32 core threadripper this year. That would have 64 threads.
alright maybe I'll hold off for this then yeah?
What would you even need that many threads for?
I mean, do it because POWER but still

This rgb ram is pretty cool. I can make it strobe like the warp core on the Enterprise-D.
Makes me want two more sticks of ram but that's pretty extravagant right now. Too bad they don't just make dumb ram with the LEDs I can stick in those slots.
The gamers hoping, wishing, and praying for a new generation of GeForce cards to arrive this week got some bad news from the company’s CEO during a Computex press briefing: The hardware won’t show up for a “long time.”
Retroactively justifying my decision to purchase a 1080Ti, WHOO.
Okay so they're going to release these multiple thousands of dollars new Monitors, that do 4K at 144hz while at the same time not releasing GPU architecture that measurably improves on the current 1080 Ti that at its best can only do about half of 144hz. Makes total sense.
El oh motherfucking el if you're not Tri-SLI-ing overclocked Titan Xps...

I was able to find a pack made by Gigabyte that was 2x8gb 3200 with LEDs and 2xled dummy ram but I couldn't find them selling just the dummy sticks anywhere sadly.

Gigabyte is coming out with this, but you have to buy their ram to get the light stick ones as well.

Hey now, I remember when the Pemtium Pro processor with MMX Technology was the pinnacle of computing and would be all anyone ever needed.
Or being blown away when the Pentium III hit 1GHz. How would I ever need more than 1GHz of processing power?
Those were definitely silly positions to take.
However, creating a CUP like this that most people don't really need is what you do when you want devs to fill the space which creates a need for it later. It's not necessarily wrong, but neither is saying that we don't need that CPU now.

Success! Following the steps at the end of the StoreMI guide I managed to clean the drives and they showed up right away in the windows installer. It is now installing a fresh windows 10.
Cpu-Z and HWInfo are the two I see most commonly used. The software that comes with your motherboard will probably be fine also, but it might not show you as much data as cleanly. Mobo software tends to still be ALL LEET GAMER GRAFIX.

These are good. I've never used Speccy. The thing is they don't let you adjust fan speeds. The MB software will let you make adjustments without need ing to boot to the BIOS. There may be other third party software that does, too. Corsair's Link utility is one of them. And also, GPU fan speeds typically are only controlled by software made by the cards manufacturer.

Haha, I know you jest, but so few games actually support nominal 2x GPU SLI these days, with anything to close to 2:1 performance (more like 10-30%). And absolutely no titles do a thing with 3 GPUs, literally some of them have bugs that make playing them with 3 GPUs installed in your system impossible.
I'm very glad for this development. But I do eye roll hard when I see a youtuber make an SLI build these days.
It would honestly be fine if unreal supported multigpu. They're the one renderer that does not, but they have such a huge part of the high end gaming market share that the realistic narrative is that 'no games support sli'.

How fast could that render Toy Story 1?
boy that's an interesting question, could modern regular-ass gaming PCs render Toy Story 1 at real time speeds or faster? I wonder.
I think it was something like 4 hours of rendering time a frame. So moore's law could give us a rough estimate, probably close to something like 10 seconds theoretical max? Probably real world more like 2-5 minutes a frame?
But that's a cluster mainframe setup of 1994(?) vs a cluster mainframe setup of 2018 I guess, consumer level PCs ... I dunno.. maybe an hour a frame again (per core)?
bowen on
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
there must have been dramatic efficiency improvements to rendering techniques since the 90s as well as simple processing speed increases, musn't there?
Getting the first 3 from newegg via eBay and the last one direct from newegg, it's $457. The mobo reviews seeem to indicate I shouldn't run into compatibility issues with the 2600X thanks to updated BIOS on the shipped boards.
Any recommended changes? I'm pretty barebones about features, I just need performance.

Shit you could probably get an SLI setup that can beat out a mainframe of CPUs.

32 cores is just so deliciously pointless for all but probably 0.5% of desktop users in the world. Good on you AMD for pushing the boundaries either way.
Ok, so what eBay stores/accounts are you guys checking out?
Sales over, and I didn't pull the trigger in time. But I had looked at Newegg (reports of pricing shenanigans from them) and then just searched for the gear I wanted.
Because it is more commonly known as the ASUS RT-AC68U, one of the best wireless routers on the market today.
If you aren't afraid of some firmware shenanigans, it's an incredibly cheap way to get a $150 router. And for $20 more you can get the non-refurb (just search on Amazon).

I'm sure it'll give you time to build that small nuclear reactor you'd probably need to drive it.
I certainly won't need a furnace for my house though.
"Hey Kyle, what did we do with that palette of black spray paint?"
I wonder if I can put together a lower end ryzen CPU mobo and RAM combo for under $200 maybe $250

I do lots of heavy threading things.
Compiling/encoding/multitasking in general
I mean I probably don't need 64 of them, but still, why not?
Nice, but I was specifically thinking in the Ebay sale. But that makes a good starting point

You can use Ryzen Master!!! Haha sorry for the exuberance, but it's unique to our platform, so why not.
