Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

JJherek replied to the thread New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc..Pulled trigger on order... will be shipped early next week. Thanks, all, for the suggestions. I went with the better PS, the Corsair RM750x, as per zandor's advice.

JJherek replied to the thread New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc..It's an option, but I'm familiar with the software and the process I use for videos, and want to keep using that, as I get great results for everything.

The extra 4-pin CPU power connector on the Asus is for overclocking. You're not planning on OCing, so don't worry about it. You probably don't even need to connect it. Since you're not overclocking they'll all be fine. The biggest differences... -
JJherek replied to the thread New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc.."If I were you, you actually need Windows 11 and a newer GPU. You see, newer video editing softwate will now require Windows 11 just to even install at all as Windows 10 is no longer supported at all by newer NLE (Non-Linear Editing) software...

It's not really a thumbs up to anything, just that Asus, MSI and Gigabyte are all fine as vendors. ASRock too mostly, though they have had some issues with AM5 boards killing procs, mostly 9800X3Ds. A couple other thoughts - That Rosewill PSU...

JJherek replied to the thread New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc..Thanks for the reply, Zandor. Basically a thumbs up to both boards, so that's heartening. Sorry, got wrong skew of the MSI i was looking at, probably the one you mentioned is the one I was looking at. All in all, not bad prices for such...

JJherek replied to the thread New Machine Needed for Video Rendering, etc..Currently I have the render set to automatic, and yeah it fires up the paltry amount of Cuda cores in the 1050. Obviously, I could go for a better video card, but with prices... ughh. As far as output resolution, a higher resolution might help...
-
JHi all, I think I've got worked out what to get mostly, apart from the motherboard model and power supply. I need something that's not a bank breaker that will last me a good 5 years and lots of processing power is a must. I'd like to get a...

JJherek replied to the thread Upgrade cooler for Ryzen 3800X ?.That's a lotta choices. I had no idea until Hash posted it that there was a PS 140. I like their 120 version (it's on the machine I'm typing on), and it's just great. The PS is definately better than the Peerless Assassin. About the Royal...

JHow is the airflow INTO your case? Have you dusted it out, cleaned the fans? Also, when was that cooler installed, have you considered re-pasting the heatsink with some new thermal paste?
-
JYeah, I bet a decent cleaning and a repaste will probably help. That processor has been around for 7 years now and could probably use a little tlc.

JJherek replied to the thread Upgrade cooler for Ryzen 3800X ?.That's a solid point, SmokeRngs. It'd be like a 10 to (maybe) 20 percent performance bump or so. Is that worth dropping any money on, particuarly for an old build like that?
-
JUnless you're doing long renders for hours or days at a time or your using this to make money, it might not be worth messing with a different cooler and just sticking to 65w eco mode. A couple of hundred mhz isn't a lot although there is a...

JJherek reacted to noko's post in the thread Old timers thread. How long have you been in the game? with Like.
Cutting traces, soldering jumpers on an Amiga 500 in the 80's, adding faster CPUs was my start. Built 100% all of my x86/x64 pcs. OCing today has much less reward than the heyday where you could indeed add 20% plus to your performance easily on...
-
JJherek replied to the thread Upgrade cooler for Ryzen 3800X ?.I'm thinking of getting their 140 rather than the 120 - I have a huge case, and it might be better for when I finally upgrade. Edit: according to the charts I've looked at the 140 does better with high wattage, and is nigh as good as the super...

JMy vote. Affordable and decent Thermalright Peerless Assassin

JJherek replied to the thread Upgrade cooler for Ryzen 3800X ?.Thanks Pendragon1. I just don't want to mess with water cooling at all. Not ready for that leap. I'd really like to upgrade the whole system... but with prices these days... ugh.

Jfrost tower? yes, itd be a bit better. or a 280+ aio.

JHey all, I'm using an older Ryzen 3800X system for video rendering, and also for folding on WCG during the winter. Currently I have an older Cooler Master Hyper 612 - a pretty big cooler (but not a dual tower), but I'm getting temps in the...
