You mean RAM? I already purchased my RAM kit, it's this one:
I do wonder if I should have gone for something faster though...

The Taichi has better VRM cooling, better QvL for Zen 2 which will likely remain the same with Zen 3, way better I/O and more efficient power delivery. It also has a POST code so you can more easily diagnose any issues should there be any when building you PC.
Qualified Vendor List.
I'll assume Caz is saying AsRock tests way more RAM for compatibility than Gigabyte.
Looks okay to my eyes. May want to see what you can get out of it by adjusting the timings. If you have the patience for that.
Thanks again :)
Do you think motherboard prices will go up when Zen 3 launches? Should I get my mobo now?
Is Black Friday a thing where you live? If so, i'd wait for that.
And yes, the QvL is longer and has higher supported speeds than the Ultra does.
I would not expect mobo prices to increase at all. I think you're good to wait if you like.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Given that AMD has the balls to charge more than Intel now, I'm expecting them to deliver on what they say though. If they don't then they're basically making the i7-10700k the no-brainer chip for gaming.
Yeah, that's going to be a sell for me.Far Cry 6 is going to be bundled with the 5000 series and some 3000 series CPU's, should be easy to sell the code if you don't want it either.
AMD will Bundle Far Cry 6 with Ryzen 5000 Processors
That's a pretty nice deal, AMD will Bundle Far Cry 6 with Ryzen 5000 Processors and select Ryzen 3000 processors. Hopefully, that helps to settle that 50 USD price premium on the new processors....www.guru3d.com
I just bought mine simply based on the DDR 4000 rumor. Heaven help me.

I had already ordered some 4000 b-die memory thanks to darktalon so I'm ahead of the game
I doubt prices will go up but there could be shortages. It just depends how niche or high end your choice is. I wanted a aorus xtreme for several reasons and those could be hard to get if demand increases.

GODDAMN BREH!
...but did you confirm it's on your motherboard's QVL? Just making sure. I ask because I know for a fact that kit is not on my Gigabyte X570 Master QVL.
Or at least here: https://gskill.com/configurator
If it's not listed as compatible, there is a good to great chance that it will not work, or not work properly.
With air it was really spiking, but the AOI has really helped my temps
Nah. I'm doing a brand new build. Just hoarding parts right now. I'm looking to pick up the Crosshair VIII Dark Hero when it releases assuming there aren't any compatibility issue. All I'm missing are the MB, CPU, and GPU now (you know, the main freaking components). :(
Why the RX 550? It's not a very good GPU and you could probably find something more capable on eBay for around the same price, if not, for a little more.How does this look for a Ryzen 5800X build.
I already have storage I can carry from my old pc but I might add a samsung drive to it.
The 3900x is just a placeholder since they are roughly the same price
This kind new shit makes me hope the 5800x doesn't perform as well as AMD claims. Mobo whitelists for goddamn memory? the fuck?
Still not sure if I'm gonna go with a 5800X or 5950X, benchmarks will make the decision for me if the cost will end up being worth it to me. Really thinking about starting to buy some of my components now though I probably won't be buying the CPU until the following week assuming they don't all sell out instantly and I get stuck, hopefully some things that aren't in stock anywhere will be in like my planned mobo. Depending on the GPU news and situation I might just keep using my 1070 for a bit and might hold off on a NVMe drive.

I hope stock will be ok and easy to get for the 5900x. The cpu and a sabrent rocket 4 plus 2tb are the last pieces to my build.
I checked with scan and overclockers in the UK. Both have the cpus already listed, but you can't add them to your basket obviously. Both said it doesn't seem like they will be offering a "pre order" and the add to basket button will go live on the 5th.

Why such a cheap graphics card? A GPU can help with rendering/other programs too?
Memory white lists are normal.
gotcha. That ram kit is so new, it won't be on anyone's pre-tested list anyway. Hope you get to test it before your return window expires. Best of luck. Kit looks awesome but I worry.
For DIMM type and speed etc., not for like particular brands of the same memory at a given speed. I've been building PC's for over 20 years and I've never had to worry that the expensive-ass name brand RAM kit I just bought might not work correctly with my CPU/motherboard.
Thanks!
I've seen that overclocking on Ryzen isn't really a thing. What speeds are we expecting the Ryzen 5800X to run at during sustained loads? Is it possible to force a higher clock speed? (without going above the turbo limit)
I wonder what the 5000 series APU will be like. I'd be interested in building a very small rig for my son someday.
More headroom for overclocking, better handling of heatspikes, better noise nomalized thermals and in some cases a easier installation.
That being said the D15 and DRP4 are still fantastic choices and are close to being equal at stock CPU settings with the best AIOs.
I've heard that there's a setting called "PBO" that's basically an automatic overclock. Does it make a substancial difference? And, will the DRP4 be able to handle it?
Same. That's why I'm hoping to pick up the CPU and MB within the next month. I also bought some C14 3800 G.SKILL Trident Z Neo as a backup. I know that one works. Like I said, hoarding. :)
Below are the parts I currently have. I was ready to order a 3900xt but it's probably smarter to wait for the 5900x right?

In general, I'd say yes to most RTX 3080/90 owners. Of course, if you run games at 4k then it's still very likely the GPU that's your bottleneck in most cases even with a 3900x (don't get the XT unless it's just 10-30$ more).
700w is no longer sufficient?
What PSU do people recommend? I want a good one that will last me for at least 5 years. It doesn't have to be the top of the line but I am not seeking a budget one either. I was looking at the Corsair HX850 850W 80 Plus Platinum High Performance Fully Modular Power Supply.
Thanks in advance
😐😐 What...I was misinformed then :(
My PSU options are limited with my case/form factor. The Corsair sfx750 is sold out everywhere.
For regards of power spikes on the 3080... it was much higher than I thought it would be.
almost 500w !!
Holy shit. Though imo 700W should be enough.
Ryzen 3900x should be at most 150w in short bursts. That leaves 50w for the rest of the system. With only SSD that should be ok. It's close though.
But better to be safe ofc.

800w leaves a bigger headroom and makes it a bit more future proof.
edit: also reduces stress on the PSU. I can see how people are suggesting a 800w.

I'm finally taking the plunge to Ryzen with the 5000 series after hearing good things for years. My hold-up has always been Intel's superior gaming performance, but if AMD has bridged that gap, there's really no reason not to jump in.
Build-wise, here's what I'm looking at (hoping for a 5950X, but I'll go for the 5900X):
Motherboard: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i RGB Elite
Memory: Thermaltake TOUGHRAM RGB DDR4 3600MHz (4 x 8 GB)
Power Supply: PC Power & Cooling Silencer 1200W 80+ Platinum
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090

700 W should be absolutely fine. The transients are a bit less bad after the driver update that fixed the crashing, too.
800 W is certainly not the minimum, lmao.
In the very unlikely scenario that your 700 W PSU (with likely 750 W range for short peaks/transients), you should just undervolt your RTX 3080/90 a tiny bit, which you should do in any case as there are basically only neat advantages.

700w may be cutting it close with a 3080, but I *think* you should be okay. If you change your mind and try to get an SF750, just keep an eye out on r/buildapcsales and r/sffpc on reddit. I know the former allows you to set up alerts so you can be notified when things go in stock. Just a couple days ago it was in stock on Microcenter's web store so that may be indication that stock will replenish elsewhere.
