See trying everything sets off alarm bells, we've had people in the past install "driver managers" that supposedly automatically update all their drivers but in reality this basically ruins your computer because they are all terrible at it. you haven't installed anything like that by any...
Yeah GPU drivers you can only get from AMD directly
Go to the link, use the scroll box to find your GPU and install the drivers
https://www.amd.com/en/support
Also make sure the monitor is actually plugged into the GPU itself and not the motherboard, if you plug the monitor into the...
You're a complete madman but I like it!
Let me have a think about this one, it's a very strange need to try and meet but I'm sure there is something out there. I know M.2 caddies exist just never looked into them personally to see how they perform
Oh wow good point never even noticed that, the TD500 doesn't support a 280mm Rad but it does support a 240mm Rad roof mounted. You can front mount the H115i but I dunno I just don't like front mounting rads. Supports 360mm mounted on the front
Yeah the H100i would do the job but I recommend the H115i which would be more suited. It'll run quieter and easier the H100i could handle but would have to work a little harder
On the storage front mate you should look into a good NAS set up, I think you've gone far beyond internal storage with those kind of needs. Use the internal storage as a performance only thing and keep all your stuff on your NAS
I get the case thing as well though, I had a case I wasn't happy...
TRX50 are super interesting, really looking forward to see how they shake out. The Threadripper 3000's where just to far to the extreme end of usage for a lot of people's needs but then the commercial chips weren't quite there in the niche features that attract the pro usage
If they can land...
I don't understand why you need to gamble on anything though mate, I don't see anything to upgrade? that motherboard supports x2 M.2's so you can just add another boot drive or a much larger one for storage
Wanting to change the case I get so if it's one of those when I'm changing the case I...
Yeah No Man Sky and Elite Dangerous would be my recommendations
Stay far far away from the game that will never be Star Citizen. Pretty sure it's some form of inefficient money laundering at this point
Don't know much about Starfield to be honest but it's a Bethesda game and I generally like...
I'd just go with a 5800X3D it's still a stupidly impressive chip and I wouldn't worry about AM5 at all to be honest
Even the 5800X has a very very long time before it'll cause any issues, you really don't need to upgrade anything to be honest
Honestly that CPU cooler is in no way capable of keeping the 5900X cool, it'll be running flatout which will cause the pump to eventually burn out which I suspect has happened both the first time and now a second time
This will likely keep happening using that cooler with that CPU
Holy crap it's actually much much worse than I initially was imagining
So lets get this straight Intel for £100 more of my money than a 7800X3D you are offering less performance, more far more power consumption, astromically more heat and support that'll likely end next year with the new chips?
I'll not get to see any of this until later can someone give a brief gist other than what I already reckon I know through pattern alone?
My prediction
14900K is stupid hot, beyond stupid like worse than previous. Literally trying to start actual fires hot
14700K pretty decent but outshined...
Hi mate you can get a much better performing machine for your money
Case
LIAN LI LANCOOL 205 MESH C GAMING CASE - Solid case
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 7900 12 Core CPU (4.0GHz-5.4GHz/76MB CACHE/AM5) - Just better than the 13700 in pretty much any task. It's single core performance is great...
