just a quick note here.... AMD CPU's read different than intel CPU's. http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2122665/understanding-temperature-amd-cpus-apus.html programs like speccy CPUID and HWmonitor whatnot read the die temp... they won't read an AMD processor properly because AMD decided that they would do some kind of wacky delta to TDP based on core load and power consumption at the moment to tell the core temperature... which seems to vary from CPU to CPU. in order to get a proper reading on AMD CPU's you need to either read the "socket" temp (which while not 100% accurate, is still fairly close to actual temp.) or find a program that does the proper reading of the CPU data and performs the maths. AMD overdrive accurately displays temps. (mainly becasue AMD software)...and I've found "Speedfan" is the most accurate "socket" temperature reading. |

I don't compress my MKV's, but I watch them on a large screen with high end audio, so I prefer 100% blu-ray quality. I did run some commercial removal on some shows I recorded with the HDHomeRun, and that took some horsepower, but I wasn't watching how hot my i7-8700 got. It chugged right along for about 20 hours removing commercials from about 250 files. Now I have Plex doing it during recording and I'm using my old i5 gen3 setup, and it works pretty hard too. Again, I don't monitor temps but I should. I thought about compressing the movies. I am up to 20tb and need to expand storage soon. Keeping them backed up is the part that sucks, lol. Every time I add 8 or 16tb of storage I have to double it for back up... But like I said, I don't like the idea of compressing the rips. When I bought my i7-8700 it had just come back into stock and the price was well below street price, so I was happy with it. The ryzen was comparable but I had bad experiences with AMD in the past and just can't get myself to go back to them. I wouldn't worry too much about anything under around 80*c. Yes, the life might be reduced, but if that is what you bought the processor for, then it's just the cost of using it. All cpu's lose transistors over time, and they slow down as a result. You mostly just speed that degradation rate up when driving it hard. You can baby a computer and make it last 5 or 6 years without much loss in performance, or you can drive it like you stole it and get the most from it. Complete failure is unlikely. I did have an AMD failure once, and it was catastrophic. The fan stopped spinning over a weekend and the cpu actually caught fire. We came in Monday to a room that was still a bit smokey and stunk pretty bad. We were lucky the fire didn't get out of the case. |

Blu-Ray quality is also the same, BluRay is just a optical disc format and has no bearing on the quality of video on it. I know I'm arguing semantics, but it really is a misleading usage of the terms. --- Quote from: dkersten on May 29, 2018, 01:00:25 pm ---I thought about compressing the movies.

You'd be filling up all that space and only have room for about 400 movies. Even if you re-encoded with VBR/VFR you could likely reduce the data footprint by half with no detectable loss in quality. Im not an audiophile or videophile and x265 is pretty amazing considering the file sizes it puts out. I have yet to watch a 1080P rip in x265 and think "man this looks an sounds like hot garbage" I'd really suggest you compress one with x265 or another format of your choosing then compare it against the original and see if worth keeping the larger format. My Plex is only rocking an 8TB data drive and Im no where near capacity. My average 1080Bluray x265 MKV is like 6GB so I could hold over 1,000 movies (but I cycle stuff in and out all the time) I do archive some of the harder to find movies on my NAS but I couldn't imagine full back ups. I'd just redownload in the event of a catastrophic drive failure. As for AMDs, they've been the slightly slower more affordable chip for as long as I can remember. I only used to use them in my teens because they were cost effective (ie super cheap and I was dirt poor). They aren't terrible by any stretch of the imagination; but I'd rather drop the coin on the intel CPUs. I love my Kabylake i7 , I didnt go for the coffee lake because the increase in L2+L3 cache wasnt significant enough to me and I wasnt going to take advantage of the slightly faster DDR4 speeds. I'm sure more stuff in the future will make better use of the 6/12 but I can live with 4/8 for now. |
