yea busy ordering stuff for my wifes pc so my lego will start tommorow haven't ordered the cpu yet still thinking , such a fine line not to waste money and later feeling damn i should have gone bigger

the bonus of going all out if you feel wished it could be quicker at least you know there wasn't better options

I was looking at getting the 14600f, but worked out a fair chunk of change more, 14400f is a beast for what you get at that price point, it has actually gone up in price by R400 since I got mine. My reasoning in the end was I can get a better secondhand I7 even i9 end of next year 60% less than new. I can wait a bit, not worried about the intel issues, if I start looking for a CPU end of next year, and it hasn't failed by then I will unlikely to encounter a dud.

If you're willing to tackle the secondhand market, honestly there is no need to go balls to the wall, would rather get a better GPU that pairs well with the CPU, more often than not it is where you are likely to gain more in performance overall than a step-up in CPU if it is the difference between a RTX 5060 and RTX 5070, I would go any day of the week with the 5070 and middle of the road CPU, it won't bottleneck for one. Far less likely it will be outdated any time soon anyway on the performance front, they last a lot longer performance wise than a gpu.

100% with you on that.

This build will have no gpu she doesn't game much if she does it is on tv pc

Certain tasks her 12400 is bit slow
Sons 3900x which is slower (single core) feels better so i think cache may be impacting her task since not pegging the cpu

So how much cache fits in the budget and naturallyv something with high single core punch

The problem is how long must the string be, so thinking of over doing it, to become hsnd me down later

TDP stands for "thermal design point/power" all power (input) provided to the CPU is dissipated as heat(wattage), this value is given in watts, in this case 170 watts. To get the BTU multiply its wattage by 3.412.

Yea they tend to get more ineficient as freq goes up

A cpu isnt a resistive load that scales linear


The tdp is with stock freq

Pbo lets it rip so tdp mesns nothing then u r in uncharted teritory

You have to pump way more power for a small gain
 
It is janky AF. But it will have to do, till I can find a decent budget case, next month.



Not my proudest case prawn w@nk......:D

Thank Fck, just the monitor that is being delivered today, then this upgrade and back up saga is over for now.

Janky? Not so much case can be cardboard imo

Nice if it isn't though

Stuck power button on hers janky coming up too

Two sticks of ram. 4 x will give you worse performance.

Surely you can go with a cheaper Nvme drive, that still has dram. Seriously, you're just doing your bank balance a disservice.

Wrong motherboard for a 14900, need a 1700 not a 1851 socket. Go AMD if you can.

Corsair PSU is a nice to have but overkill for a 4070ti, Corsair RM1000X is perfectly fine has the same 10 year warranty and saves you over 2k. Also, you don't need 1kw it is entirely overkill you will be more than fine with 850watt, even if you go with a 5080 at some point you will be fine as well, Corsair RM1000X will handle it no issue. The rm1000x is an A tier PSU, pretty much as good as you can get without breaking the bank

Yeah I have a Coolermaster CM 690 II, reset and power buttons entirely busted, would have to resort to the same annoyance with regard to powering the PC up. But it would at least give the PC some breathing room.

I just tested the PC with a 570GTX and was already a snug fit, I do have a stock cooler, stock cooler for a 4770k is just a bad idea, Just waiting for the RX 470 to arrive today along with the screen and see how much space it takes up and take it from there, but I suspect it won't, it has a dual fan cooler. The annoyance with the 690 it is a big ass case and build like a tank and weighs as much as one too. lol

I can live without the power button/reset button, just the annoyance of the tank of case.

As already mentioned, go with AMD.

That AOI has long been discontinued. Get and Arctic Liquid Freezer 3.

And Corsair is extremely pricey in SA for no reason whatsoever. You can save thousands simply changing brand.
 
I think for most people it would not make a difference if you go amd or intel, performance wise

The main reason i would go amd
Is efficiency/heat

Maybe i bought a dud liqud cooler but my sons 12700k will from time to time build up muck on the copper plate. Ie boil/evaporate the coolant and any additives stay behind and block the fins and just spiral worse

Then the cleanup and top up and good for a while

While my other sons r9 3900x just runs problem free

intel has to push a lot of power to be competitive
 
Just did an upgrade from:

Ryzen 2600X > Ryzen 5700X
16GB 3200 > 48GB 3200
GTX 1080 Strix > RTX 5070Ti

Still using my 850w Superflower PSU, Coolermaster H500P and MS610P cooler, as well as my MSI B450Pro Carbon Mobo.

Needless to say it's made a monstrous difference lol. Very happy!

How did you do 48GB? Didn't know they had 24GB in ddr4..
 
Jer1cho said:
I had 16GB but bought another 32. So 2 8GB sticks, and 2 16GB sticks.

Same timings and same manufacturer? Generally not a good idea to go over 2 sticks of RAM it can add extra latency.

2 different brands. Being DDR4 I just couldnt find stock anywhere. The timings and speed are identical though, and are using the same XMP profile. I ran tests with 16, 32 and 48, and there was no difference as far as I could tell. What kind of latency issues are there and what impact do they have? I do audio editing on it as well and thats where the 48gb made a big difference.

Normally within games there is a bit of a latency when all 4 dimms are populated, though from the things I've seen it's not as much as it's overblown to be. I had 32GB with 4 sticks for 3 years and never saw much of a difference, the 32GB was more advantageous.
 
Yeah, very true for AM5 as well.

48vs32 will likely make no real difference for you either.

There are way too many variables. But generally speaking, if you are going to populate all 4 slots, it is better to go with single sided memory, then you shouldn't see any noticeable difference, dual-sided on the other hand adds extra stress on the memory controller, and mixing and matching single and dual side ranked memory will be a lot worse.

It depends, but generally speaking as a rule of thumb unless you know exactly the memory you are getting, sticking with two slots only is best practice. CPU memory controllers aren't created equal, it might be fine in one generation and bad in the next generation.
