I agree with the 70-80(Max). --- Quote from: DaOld Man on May 28, 2018, 07:39:01 am ---How are you guys reading the cpu temp? --- End quote --- I use MSI Afterburner which has the temps but also has all the options for over-clocking. The 2 most common tools for hardware (temp/volt) monitoring are: CPUID - https://www.cpuid.com/ And Open Hardware Monitor - http://openhardwaremonitor.org/ |

I'm using the Asus AI software that came with the motherboard. Ambient temps have gone up 10 degrees and my cpu temps have gone up a few degrees as a result. :( I've run this thing full bore overnight for the last two nights converting mkv blu ray rips to mp4. I don't think I've ever asked this much of a processor before. |

What was your old build? For the price of the Ryzen couldn't you of gotten a i7-8700k? I dont know much about how they compare was just looking at some quick stats online. |

I dont know much about how they compare was just looking at some quick stats online. --- End quote --- My old Pc was an Athlon X3 3.4Ghz from 8 or 9 years ago. I'm not an AMD fanboy, but that one also happened to be AMD. The Ryzen 2700x was $30 cheaper and included a decent cooler. ...so $60 cheaper overall for similar performance. Still using my old case, old power supply (which had been upgraded to a 750w somewhere along the way), and auxillary hard drives. I had put a 1TB samsung evo ssd in my laptop a year or two ago, but hardly ever use the laptop anymore so put the old drive back in the laptop and used the SSD for this build. I also had a 3TB WD red drive that I had purchased to put in my Tivo, but removed because unlike the original 500GB drive I could hear it running at night. That was the original plan anyway. The cost has since been driven up by ordering random little parts like PCM fans, USB 3 port bays, a new card reader with USB 3 ports, etc. The new mobo didn't have a PCI slot, so my old xonar sound card wouldn't work in it. The onboard sound was terrible, so I bought another Xonar card with PCIe interface. I'm using a Geforce 750ti that my nephew gave to me when he upgraded, but it doesn't have displayport and now I want a bigger monitor with higher resolution for multitasking. The 750ti in the arcade cab has a displayport, but I swapped them and the longer one without the displayport hits the coin coor when I close up the cab. :angry: ...so the 1060 is being delivered today. :D :'( I'm very happy with the processor. The old PC took 3 or 4 hours to rip and convert one DVD, although I was doing it as one process in handbrake. It probably would have only done one blu-ray a day. This one has done 55 in two or three days. I might end up with buyers remorse on the video card since I don't play demanding PC games very often. |
